Article Review By Vicky Laney Eczema Cure? "The Margaret Yvonne Eczema Plan"
By Vicky Laney
A natural alternative for the treatment and management of Eczema and inflammatory skin conditions. There is no cure for eczema! This flat, bland and comprehensively negative statement from Dermatologists and undoubtedly well meaning Support Groups echoed in the ears of Margaret Yvonne. Chronic and severe eczema impacts on every area of life; physical, emotional, social and economic. So, the blanket statement "there is no cure for eczema" is a devastating prognosis for any severe sufferer of this most relentless and recurring skin condition. Eczema is still a very misunderstood dermatological condition. So many variations and forms of presentation exist from individual to individual. Atopic Dermatitis is a form of eczema associated with allergy and sensitization to an antigen, a substance as a toxin or enzyme that stimulates an immune response in the body, especially antibodies and histamine. Contact dermatitis or Irritant dermatitis is another form of eczema. Contact dermatitis is a localized rash or irritation of the skin caused by contact with an irritant. Known sensitizers and irritants will cause eczema -- dermatitis in almost everyone if contact is prolonged or exposed to high concentrations of irritants. If the sufferer of contact dermatitis or eczema can successfully identify and avoid the irritant, then the condition will resolve. What is understood about eczema is that family genetics and environmental factors are the main drivers for the condition, which can be chronic and severe, requiring medical intervention for management and control, usually with antihistamine, corticosteroid topical ointments, oral steroids and emollients. Margaret Yvonne was such a sufferer, regularly requiring all of the above medical interventions. Of course, the steroids and antihistamine were certainly not a cure. Steroids simply suppress the immune system response and thus the symptoms. It was the realization that the regular suppression of the immune system over time, carried its own and potentially very serious health risks, that Margaret Yvonne embarked on her own quest to investigate alternative methods of controlling her severe eczema. She made a determined and concerted effort to educate herself with regard to the myriad of chemical additives and formulations of everyday household, personal hygiene and cosmetic products. She was alarmed indeed to learn that most of these products contained known laboratory sensitizers, substances used in controlled trials to deliberately induce skin reactions for scientific and medical studies. Also, many shampoos, body washes and shower gels contained the same chemicals used in powerful de-greasers for garage floors and grease cutting in industrial applications, albeit in lower concentrations. She also discovered that even world renowned beauty outlets which we associate with "Natural" & "Ethical" body products, were concealing the more dubious chemical additive formulation ingredients underneath labels which depicted the more romantic, natural and positive images and representations of the products. It was through very selective choices of more natural, organic and compatible products that Margaret Yvonne says "I was able to negate the worst of the eczema flares and was able to extend quite markedly the periods between them". She urges consumers everywhere to "be vigilant in these very important matters and to make informed choices through diligent study of the subject". In her efforts to alleviate inflammation, redness, cracked skin and intolerably intense pruritus (itchiness), Margaret Yvonne found that certain naturally occurring and nutrient dense substances, when applied topically as balms and unction’s, also ingested as part of a healthy and nutritious diet, an "inside -- outside" approach, would most effectively relieve pruritus and inflammation. After just a couple of weeks of this new and natural regimen, her skin began to feel and look quite normal. She said, "I did not get this good on steroids"! Weeks turned into months without any eczema flares at all, or urticaria from which she also intermittently suffered. It is over three years now, since Margaret Yvonne has experienced any of the symptoms of eczema or hives (urticaria), the longest period of relief she has ever known. "My skin is clear, save for some slight permanent scarring and pigmentation from the damage of rubbing and scratching over many years, but my skin is settled and unreactive. I could not have hoped or dreamed of such an improvement"! So, I asked the questions, is this regimen or plan a cure for eczema? Are you cured from chronic and severe eczema? She replied, "for every day I am free of the distressing symptoms of eczema, that day is a cure day". "Today, I am cured of eczema! The plan I have used is a combination of avoidance of irritants and sensitizers and nutrient dense substances prepared at home that I firmly believe to have strengthened and normalized my immune system response, affording me the relief I enjoy today. There simply is no other reason how after all these years I should become free of the symptoms of eczema and urticaria, directly following my plan"! Margaret Yvonne tells of her experiences with chronic and severe eczema and urticaria in her Instant Download eBook, Eczema -- Dermatitis and Hives DIY Remedy. She describes her personal battle with skin disease along with graphic photographic images of her condition and how she is today. She reveals the nutrient dense and naturally occurring food standard substances and the preparation into balms and unction’s for topical application along with recipe ideas for ingestion as nutrient rich supplements to a healthy diet. The regimen featured in her eBook has become widely known as "The Margaret Yvonne Eczema Plan". All the naturally occurring substances recommended by Margaret Yvonne have been recognized universally as high nutrient density, of which many components are missing from the modern western diet, but considered valuable and beneficial by nutritionists and health commentators. As for me, I too have suffered contact dermatitis. A particularly troublesome and painful area was my toes and feet. The inflammation and itchiness would drive me to distraction. Margaret Yvonne told me I was very probably reacting to something in the tanning process of the leather or dye. She handed me a small pot of balm which I rubbed into my toes and feet. Within minutes I had no sensation of itch or irritation. By the next morning, there were no signs of blemish to be seen. I certainly am not qualified to even begin to explain it; I only report the unequivocal fact.
