Homeopathy
If you receive two of these messages, please forgive me. I wrote one
and clicked Post instead of Send and I think it erased it. So here
goes again.
I went to a homeopath when I was first diagnosed with sebderm. He
said it was mostly in my head and "prescribed" a ton of vitamins and
said to cut out dairy and carbs. I followed the plan for about a
month, but the sebderm just got too bad, so I had to use Nizoral and
Desowen. When they worked, I dropped the plan.
I went to another homeopath a couple of years ago during a bad flare.
He said my spine was out of alignment and my bodily fluids and oils
were too acidic. So he gave me chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture
and a similar diet. My back felt better, but it didn’t have an effect
on the seb derm. He wanted me to follow an ever stricter diet, but it
was too extreme (no processed food at all). I went back to Nizoral
and it worked.
I was, and still am, pretty skeptical of these treatments. But,
because I didn’t follow these plans for 6 months or a year I can’t
really say if they would have worked. It’s tempting to think that seb
derm is just internal and can be controlled with diet. I think it’s
topical and requires topical treatments. Still, I think you should
give it a try. You never know, you might find a homeopath with some
good ideas that work for your body. We all have to keep trying a
variety of things to find the thing, or combination of things, that
work for us.
By the way, welcome to the new members. I think you’ll find that
we’re a pretty responsive group, so please feel free to ask
questions, give suggestions, encouragment, etc. Do read the archives
first though, to see if your question has already been covered.
