Marine Phytoplankton - A Step Towards An Eczema Natural Cure

Firstly, I would like to, at this time and in this space, expand upon what we as patients of illness are subjected to, before I get into my shpill about the eczema natural cure that I am excited to share with you.

Are you aware of the adverse side effects of the drugs administered for the treatment of eczema? What they actually do besides maybe take symptoms away for a minute?

Corticosteroids

Research literature, reflecting more than 50 years of studies, note a variety of adverse reactions to topical, oral, and systemic corticosteroids - ranging from mild to life-threatening and life-altering.

A few examples of the side effects include:
* Adrenal suppression
* Allergic reaction to the medication
* Cataracts
* Glaucoma
* Gastrointestinal effects, such as nausea and vomiting -- Peptic ulcers also have been shown to occur.
* Growth retardation
* Hair growth increase
* Hypertension, or high blood pressure
* Hypopigmentation (lightened patches of skin)
* Infection
* Osteoporosis
* Skin conditions including stretch marks, spider veins, thinning of the skin, purpura (purple-colored patches of skin), acne, perioral dermatitis and rosacea-like rashes
* Tachyphylaxis (a decreasing response to corticosteroids)
* Weight gain

Oral steroids should be minimized because of the seriousness of their side effects. There is potential for severe outbreaks of eczema when they are discontinued.

Antibiotics

Our skin acts as a protective barrier for disease and infection. When the skin is disrupted, dried and cracked such as is occurring with eczema the potential for bacteria to enter is increased. When the itching skin is scratched open, infection may be introduced and spread. This is why most sufferers are administered antibiotics as treatment for their eczema.

The use of antibiotics kills bacteria, the bad along with the good bacteria. Yeast, such as Candida, then grows without restraint causing many ill effects down the road.

These effects include:
* Anger outbursts
* Anxiety
* Constant tiredness and exhaustion
* Foggy brain / Trouble concentrating
* Frequent stomach pains and digestion problems
* Headaches
* Intense cravings for sugars, sweets, and breads
* Irritability
* Itchy skin
* Mood swings
* Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
* Skin problems (skin infections, eczema, psoriasis, acne)

Natural foods such as honey and coconut oil, when applied to the skin have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties that will be more efficacious and safe!

Immunosuppressants

These forms of drugs, immunosuppressants, are administered with the intention of inhibiting the body's immune system due to the belief that the immune system is over-reacting in severe cases of eczema. I, personally, cannot believe that a practitioner would even suggest this medication as there are so many other effectual and safe ways to strengthen and support the immune system instead of suppressing it like with this harmful drug! The adverse effects of this medication is numerous.

Here are just a fraction of them:
* Abdominal pain
* Bloody or black, tarry stools
* Cough or hoarseness
* Darkened urine, blood in urine, painful or difficult urination
* Fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman
* High blood pressure
* Infection
* Jaundice
* Kidney problems
* Liver disorders
* Mouth ulcers
* Nausea, vomiting and stomach upset
* Pancreatitis
* Reduced activity of bone marrow
* Unusual bleeding or bruising

Many are realizing more and more each day that the conventional approach to healing is dangerous with a capital "D"! And, what irks me even more is that natural protocols are being disparaged by the "Big Boys" through erroneous allegations backed up by distorted "proof!" One needs to learn how to heal by looking beyond what the white-coated person with the stethoscope around his neck says and understand that they are only only doing what they have been taught by these Big Boys. We really need to abstain from chemically formulated drugs like the steroids, antibiotics, immunosuppressants, etc ....... The answer for true healing genuinely lies in the past - B.C. (Before Conventional-medicines), which is eons-long of impeccable healing protocols!

Okay, I've stepped off of my soapbox ........ Folks, an eczema natural cure should be safe and, of course, efficacious. The point is that we should treat our bodies with the utmost respect (by doing no harm to it) and to go about healing from this ailment of eczema by utilizing natural means.

Would you like a great recipe for healing your eczema naturally? Well, then, please read on.....

II am, as many others are, a firm believer that food is our absolute and true medicine - foods of nature, from both land and sea -- foods that are nutrient-dense giving the body the right tools to heal itself and maintain health.

An eczema diet consisting of a greater percentage of raw foods is a step towards an eczema natural cure. Raw foods, especially organic, have more nutrients then that of foods that have been heated above 115 degrees. Vital enzymes for health and healing are totally wiped out in the heating process, also.

However, declining are the nutrient values of land-based foods of today. As far back as the 1920's, nutritional experts were warning that our soils were so deficient in mineral content and that remedial action should be taken. Nonetheless, this warning was not heeded. Instead, intensified modern farming methods have evolved. Fruits and vegetables grown today not only have little or no vitamin and mineral content, but they are routinely sprayed with such a broad selection of chemicals that they are actually poisonous.

Many are now looking to the oceans for complete wholesome food. One such food is marine phytoplankton. Marine phytoplankton is a very exemplary and new discovery for health & nutrition researchers. Scientists are just beginning to uncover the tremendous benefits of this superfood. That which we know now of this phytoplankton is already enough to literally amaze us!

Magnificent Healing Aspects of Marine Phytoplankton

pH Balancing of the Body
One amazing aspect of marine phytoplankton is that its pH is 8 - 8.5 -- Marine Phytoplankton is a fantastic highly alkalizing food!

If you know anything about holistic medicine, most likely you know that an over-acidic body breeds disease. Dr. Robert O. Young, one of the top expert researchers of pH balance of the body, states that the over-acidification of the body is the single underlying cause of all disease -- that when the body is in healthy alkaline balance, diseases are unable to get a foothold.

The eczema sufferer, oft times, develops food allergies that trigger the irritable outbreaks of eczema symptoms. It is not the food's fault, but the fault lies in the body's reaction to the toxins that are produced from an overly acidic and oxygen deprived body. Hence, the eczema diet should not concentrate on what foods to avoid but instead, which foods can be eaten to support a more alkaline state of the body!

Oxygen for Health
All of you know that without oxygen life ceases to exist in only minutes. When we think about what actually supplies our oxygen, we usually think of the vast forests. Would you believe that well over 70% of our planet's supply of oxygen comes from marine phytoplankton? It's true.

Not only is it considered one of our main sources of life, oxygen helps the body in its ability to rebuild itself and maintain a strong and healthy immune system. Oxygen therapies aid the body to self-heal as it raises the oxygen level in the bloodstream. It plays a vital role in:
1. Proper metabolic functions
2. Blood circulation
3. The assimilation of nutrients
4. Digestion
5. Elimination of cellular and metabolic wastes

There are innumerable health conditions to which oxygen therapy responds favorably. Here is an impressive list of some such conditions:

* Eczema
* Multiple Sclerosis
* Asthma
* Emphysema
* Epstein Barr Virus
* Pneumonia
* Hepatitis
* Various Cancers
* AIDS and other immune deficiency diseases
* Herpes
* Arthritis
* Malaria
* Parkinson's Disease
* Alzheimer's
* Alcoholism
* Leukemia
* Lupus
* Kidney infections and diseases
* Varicose Veins
* Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
* Pulmonary Disease
* Influenza

Detoxification/Cleansing Effect
Since eczema cause is the accumulation of toxins and the imbalances of the, the mineral and nutrient-dense qualities of marine phytoplankton make it an immense precursor to optimal health due to the ability to correct any existing imbalances or deficiencies. This includes the ability for the body to naturally cleanse and detoxify itself.

The micronutrients and electrolytes found in marine phytoplankton aid in the health and functionality of human cell membranes as it fuels metabolism and supports detoxification by removal of toxin accumulation in cells.

IIn the video below, you will hear some of the most amazing benefits that marine phytoplankton has to offer for our health. We all should know that by taking care of our bodies and giving it the right tools, it will heal itself. One of these tools involve the nutrients that our body needs to heal itself. With the inclusion of marine phytoplankton in our diet, the eczema sufferer will highly benefit towards a life-long cure!
