Holistic Answers for Pediatric Eczema
Answers for Eczema!
By Judy Shafer, ND
Eczema, or atopic dermatitis affects 10-20% of children. Conventional medicine focuses on managing symptoms with steroid creams (external approach) while a holistic care focuses on an internal approach of resolving the imbalances in the body contributing to this inflammatory skin condition.
There are many possible causes for these imbalances such as:
- Microbiome/Gut Health
- Food Allergies and Sensitivities
- Environmental Stressors
- Mold/Fungus/Yeast
- Toxins
- Infectious Diseases
- Emotions
- Stress
We use a holistic approach to find underlying causes and stressors to help determine the specific protocols and needs to correct the imbalances. Using a combination of muscle testing, NAET allergy elimination, homeopathy, and appropriate supplementation we will create a unique plan based on each individual's need to promote whole-body health and wellness. The human body is designed to heal given the right tools.
Baby Noah was given antibiotics at birth for suspected sepsis and need for respiratory support. This short bout of antibiotics was discontinued at 48 hours when blood culture proved negative. Shortly thereafter, Noah’s mother developed severe mastitis and needed heavy doses of antibiotics for about 4 weeks. Her milk supply dwindled due to the infection. So, Noah started on infant formula. That was when the eczema started to slowly appear until it became quite severe over the next 6 months.
Through muscle testing we pinpointed the following stressors:
- Candida
- Mold
- Infant Formula
- Beef
- Dairy
- Banana
- Oats
- Seafood
- Carrots
- Sweet potato
We noticed a pattern of Vit. Food sensitivities. Over a series of visits Noah’s treatment plan included the following:
- We first eliminated these food stressors from his diet until we could treat them with NAET.
- Started a homeopathic protocol for Candida with Liver Support.
- Encouraged mom to switch to Weston Price Homemade Infant Formula.
- Des Bio Intestinal Restore to help heal the gut
- More NAET (advanced allergy elimination) treatments
- Mold Testing recommended and confirmed in Noah’s house (crawl space and around windows) Remediation measures were completed at home.
- Mold homeopathic and NAET treatments
Noah’s skin greatly improved with each visit, and he is doing great! He just celebrated his 1st birthday and can eat any food his parents would like to give him.
