What if I told you that eczema causes are limited to 3 main things and can be beat with a very practical approach? What if I also told you that I suffered from eczema for 20 years before finally learning what the causes are and took action to prevent eczema from controlling my life? Well, that’s precisely the case and for the past year and a half I have not had an eczema outbreak. As much as some might try to say this is a rare miracle case, the fact is I know what causes eczema and therefore I know how to treat the disease and not just the symptoms.

Let’s face it, if you go to the doctor you’re going to get a short three to five minute lecture on how there is no known cure for eczema, and the best thing you can do is treat the symptoms by using an expensive steroid cream. For me, the creams would only work for a short time, which would then result in another doctor visit, another lecture and another cream. Over a course of 20 years I grew very tired of the cat and mouse game. I decided a year ago to do a little research and find out what the cause of eczema actually is.

It turns out that the majority of eczema is related to pollens, dusts and mold spores that we find in and around our homes. They are now saying that as much as sixty-five percent is related to these allergens. The other thirty percent is related to things we come in contact (twenty-five percent) with as well as some of the things we eat (only five percent.)

Once I learned this information a light bulb went off in my head. I started researching ways to beat inhalant allergies. You see, the skin acts much like a filter for your body. When our bodies don’t like something we have ingested, it uses the skin as the first means to rid the toxin. So, detoxifying the body involves using other pathways to get rid of toxins. I know that it sounds crazy, but simple diet changes can result in dramatically fewer eczema outbreaks. While some eczema causes are still unknown, taking this approach has allowed me to live eczema free for the past year.

I highly recommend reading Beat Eczema by: Susan Clark. Her guide to detoxifying the body has been played a major role in successfully helping me win the battle with eczema.
