Default Re: Chickweed and Eczema

Thanks all for your input

The chickweed coumpound has been helpinga lot over the last couple of days. While the eczema is still there its not progressing to weeping/bleeding and is in some spots going away. Who knows how long it will last though!

I found him this morning with his jama arm up past his elbow and he'd been scratching the hell out of his elbow crease. It doesn't look good but all teh other spots are looking better.

Almond oil in the bath seems to help more than the Alpha Keri too.

I've been driving myself mad thinking about what food he eats now that he didn't 6 months ago. I might have to cut cheese out again. He doesn't have cows milk or yoghurt but a little cheese. The low salicylates don't seem to make much difference though and I cook most foods from scratch to reduce the preservatives/colours/junk in his diet(and ours).

Thanks again!
