For the Natural Care of Eczema, Allergies and Chemical Sensitivity

Eczema and allergies have become prolific over the last couple of decades.  When I was a child at school, I was the ONLY child in in my primary school who had eczema and allergies.   Now it seems, every other child has some form of auto-immune disease be it eczema or allergies or asthma or all three together!

It is my personal belief that our modern western diet of highly processed foods containing a chemical cocktail of preservatives, additives, colourings and flavourings; the heavy use of pesticides and growth chemicals/hormones; soil degredation and pollution, as well as green harvesting have all put an enormous strain on the Human Immune System creating a critical rise in the incidence of auto-immune diseases such as eczema, allergies, psoriasis and chemical sensitivity to name just a few.  

At Looking for Alternatives, My focus is on achieving wellness by combining different types of Natural therapies and taking a more holistic approach to food, health & lifestyle.  It is my passion in life to share my experience & knowledge thus  providing others with information on how to apply those changes in their own lives.

Lifestyle choices are the key with these conditions and that includes food & nutrition, immune system support, a healthy chemical free environment supported by complimentary Natural Therapies.

This website is to be a source of useful information; a place to find a new direction for the good health of your skin and overall condition; a source of information for the natural management of this inflammatory auto-immune disease.

My focus is to provide those who are looking to change their lifestyle the knowledge needed to allow informative and educated choices.

Some of the key issues I focus on are-

LIFESTYLE

• Understanding preservatives, food additives & food colourings that can cause & aggravate eczema & allergies     
• Alternative Therapies for the treatment and maintenance of eczema, allergies, chemical sensitivity and dry skin ailments.
• Simple Gourmet Recipes that are Free from allergens such as  Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Egg, Corn and Peanuts; as well as preservatives & other chemical additives.

Combining modern medicine with Modern Natural Therapies ... 

Unfortunately, the available (conventional western medical) treatments for auto-immune conditions such as eczema mostly rely on and involve the long term use of cortisone medications and creams and the use of sorbolene as a moisturiser, both of which may inevitably lead to further and possibly even life-threatening complications to your health when used over the long term.  Eczema is a chronic condition (that is long term), so basically these applications are going to be used long term and this is where the problems start.

I believe there are other ways of dealing with this auto-immune disease and have proved it to myself and my family and friends that it is possible.  I believe that you can combine good health practices and alternatives therapies with conventional western medicine when necessary.  Lifestyle is the key and that includes food & nutrition, immune system support, a healthy chemical free environment and complimentary natural therapies.

If you have a child or infant with this condition do not disregard your doctors advice and treatments and put your child at risk.  This is a debilitating disease which if left unattended can be life threatening.  The combination of your doctors advice with a healthy lifestyle for your child free from highly processed foods containing preservatives, colours, flavours and other chemical additives which are known to aggravate this condition, can offer you and your child much better results over the long term. 

ONE LAST LIFESTYLE TIP

MOISTURISE, MOISTURISE, MOISTURISE! ...

I cannot stress to you enough the importance of moisturising your Eczema skin daily. If I were to give you only one important piece of information today it would be exactly that ...

MOISTURISE, MOISTURISE, MOISTURISE ... EVERY day, at  least twice a day; as often as your skin needs it ... and I would hope that your doctor has told you the same.
