Healing Eczema and Cortisone Withdrawal Symptoms: Shedding Skin and Desperate Measures

Shedding Skin and Desperate Measures

4.12.2011 - Day 21 of Withdrawal

- Shedding all his skin
- Started with back, then stomach, arms, legs, then neck and hands
- Started having warm baths instead of just cold water, skin can tollerate this now

- Moisturised his whole body and wrapped him with glad wrap in hope to keep the moisture in because his skin was just falling apart, were very fearful of what was happening to his body
- Body convulsing from withdrawal during day and night
- Tried mixing Manuka Honey into our natural cream mix, it irritated Jake a bit so I stopped using it.

I've stopped using cortisone creams also and drinking smoothies/juicing for 4 months now. My skin is shedding like crazy and is all over. I've started using coconut oil. Did the shedding end?

We would like to send our hearts to the people who stuck by us and helped in Jake's healing.

We could not have done it without you x

Doris Were - (my mother) Clinical Nutritionist and father Robert Were

My parents took Jake into their home with open arms; cooked, cleaned, bathed and held Jake 24 hours a day. They gave so much of their time and love to Jake and I. You made all of this possible, and we are truly grateful. Thank-you xxx

Margo Field

When Margo consulted with Jake, Jake was in the worst stage of this process. Margo's loving nature helped Jake to accept the condition he had, and she gave us strategies to deal with this mental and physical pain as a couple.

Dr. Fred Swann

Fred has supported us both unconditionally. I can't even think of the words to thank Fred or explain how amazing he is. We love you Fred.

Dr. John Turner (& Super Team Members)

Coliban Medical Centre - It's hard to find people who genuinely want to help you and support your cause. This team is an exception, and have supported Jake in his rehabilitation with the utmost care and attention.
