For Eczema sufferers, it’s regarding Elidel and Chinese herbs?

Depressed Soul asked:


I’ve mild eczema and have tried many steroid creams but it does no justice and it only make my skin very sensitive to the sun. Actually, my dermatologist only confirmed I have eczema this year. And before having this problem I remember I used to play a lot of sports. The eczema problem begins when I stop exercising somewhere in 2007 and for God knows why I buy whatever my dermatologist says and using all those crap creams. Then he finally prescribed me a non-steroid called Elidel. I used it for 3 days and it gave me cough. I went to see my Chinese physician and my cough got cured. The reason why I do not take in western medication for cough is because last time I had a cough for one and a half year and during that period I went to many doctors, hospital, taken tests and treatments but it failed. Then one day my lecturer introduced me the Chinese Physician and after 3 visits my cough got cured, and I have not been coughing for 8 months until I used that Elidel. Anyway, I went back to my dermatologist and he gave me ProTopic, another non-steroid but it was an ointment and it contains white soft paraffin and petroleum which burned the condition because it was very greasy. My dermatologist told me I have very mild eczema so it’s not a big problem and there isn’t a cure for it. I was left with no choice but went back to Elidel. After using for 2 weeks, it somehow stop the itch but it’s giving me cough again. I discontinued it for 3 days and today I woke up this morning and the cough got worse. I’m going down later to see my Chinese physician and will discuss this problem with him and see what he can do. I have a few questions for eczema sufferers,

1) Has anyone of you tried using Elidel? Do you think that cream actually weaken immune system and that’s why it gives me cough?

2) Has anyone of you tried taking Chinese herbs for eczema?

3) Do you think I should continue and stop depending all these chemical treatments and get back to my exercise routine like in the past?

    THERE is a book that you must read: Healing Psorisis, by Dr. John Pagano- it has a whole section on Eczema.
    This is primarily a problem with the lining of your stomach , which has small tears or holes that allow the toxins or preservatives to leak thru into interstitial fluid and the lungs and skin take over to try to detox this from the body. Please read this book. I am sure that you can find it on Amazon.com It is a miracle- my son and I both have used this and are cured!!! Best wishes !

    I’ve had eczema for a long time and tried a lot of remedies, including many Chinese herbal remedies. My best success came after I read an ebook, Beat Eczema. You can read a review on the book at the site below.
