Aloe Vera has the ability to penetrate down to the dermis, not just sit on the top two layers of skin, and heals from inside. It is a natural antibiotic and is sometimes known as the &amp;#39;Burns Plant&amp;#39; due to its ability to heal skin and return it to complete good health with no scarring. I have personal experience of seeing how Aloe Vera gelly can absolutely heal really deep and dreadful bed sores so I am convinced this may help you.&amp;nbsp; Because of my belief in Aloe I became a distributor for Forever Living Products - the largest grower of cultivated Aloe in the world and because no man-made chemicals are added to the products they are exactly as nature intended them to be.&amp;nbsp; If you would like to know more then please check out &lt;a href="http://www.mcbteam.co.uk/"&gt;www.mcbteam.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; or you can call me 01234 817675.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good&amp;nbsp;luck and I hope you soon sort the problem out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Margaret&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Fungal Infection - Help!</title><link>http://community.wddty.com/forums/post/9554.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:20:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e6c67f3d-bf7b-4201-a2c0-6e02384b9f98:9554</guid><dc:creator>Jacinth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I have had a fungal infection, which I believe to be ringworm - Trichophyton rubrum, for 6 years. It started in one foot (left) and has now infected one hand (left).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It manifests itself in itchy blisters and makes my skin sore and cracked. It disfigures some of my nails. Altogether very uncomfortable (drives me to distraction sometimes) and unsightly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have tried repeated treatments with Dactacort cream, which temporarily relieves the symptoms until the fungus returns with avengance later on.&amp;nbsp; It can be really troubling and painful and seems to get worse in the heat. I would be so delighted to get rid of it, but I don&amp;#39;t want to take the drugs the doctor has suggested. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am considering starting an anti-fungal diet to try and get to the root cause of it. I am not overweight, but my diet has it&amp;#39;s fair share of sugar and carbohydrates.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wonder if anyone has any good suggestions of way to tackle this horrible fungus?&amp;nbsp; Dietry suggestions / homeopathic treatment etc. Thanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: facial acne</title><link>http://community.wddty.com/forums/post/8941.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:28:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e6c67f3d-bf7b-4201-a2c0-6e02384b9f98:8941</guid><dc:creator>bjdawkins</dc:creator><description>My son is a teenager with fairly typical acne.&amp;nbsp; It has been suggested by a manual medicine practioner that his bowels are not functioning as efficiently as they should -- he has recommended some pro-biotics (v. broad spectrum, high quality a must!) to help get this sorted.&amp;nbsp; He has just started taking them and I&amp;#39;ll keep you posted here on his progress.&amp;nbsp; He has been told to expect his skin to get worse as a reaction and then to improve dramatically.&amp;nbsp; Fingers crossed!&amp;nbsp; He is also going to try some homeopathics -- these have not yet been prescribed though.&amp;nbsp; More on that later.</description></item><item><title>Re: facial acne</title><link>http://community.wddty.com/forums/post/8601.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Jul 2009 10:45:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e6c67f3d-bf7b-4201-a2c0-6e02384b9f98:8601</guid><dc:creator>mebaker21@hotmail.com</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Aloe Vera may be the solution, since its anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory properties penetrate to the basal level dermis, healing from inside. I suggest you try Aloe MSM gel, since the MSM (s = sulphar) has proved very effective against acne. You could also consider using an aloe soap and facial scrub, plus ensure you moisturise your skin, something people with acne often avoid doing, naturally believing they do not need even more oil on their skin. Also suggest you incorporate either Aloe Vera or Bee Pollen into your supplementation to ensure the correct balance of minerals reach the skin.

She too is very fair skinned.&amp;nbsp; I strongly suggest you try Aloe Vera Gelly - she found it really did help her, is very soothing and in time reduced the redness. She also moved her skin care regime onto pure Aloe products which did not aggravate her skin at all. &amp;nbsp;She drank the Aloe Vera Gel too, helping the problem from the inside as well as topically. The brand she used was Forever Living Products. As a distributor myself for these products I was absolutely thrilled to be able to help her over this difficult problem in the knowledge she was using the best on the market, with no man-made chemicals or additives in sight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you want more information then please call 0844 453 2024 and I will be happy to try to help.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kind regards.

One is the more regular form that usually shows up as red dots around finger webbing and other places. Another is the animal&amp;nbsp;version which&amp;nbsp;many fewer people get, or at least most people don&amp;#39;t ever have a reaction to it or develop immunity after a short time or something where it doesn&amp;#39;t affect them anyway. It is possible to pick the 2nd kind up from infected animals. There may be other forms of scabies too&amp;nbsp;and differing strains of each.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Treatment for the animal kind is tougher since it since it seems more resistant and also since it doesn&amp;#39;t seem to die off as easily when sitting around on clothes, couches, bed sheets, etc. Try washing EVERYTHING with a little bleach and at the same time taking a bath with hydrogen peroxide added. 2 or 3 bottles (~1 to 2 litres) of 30 volume (I think about 9% hydrogen peroxide content, the kind used for dying hair) in a regular sized bath is plenty. It will not dye your hair at this greatly lowered concentration, but it seems to kill the scabies, at least the ones&amp;nbsp;that are on the surface. Then repeat the waashing/bathing process for 4-5 days (yes, a lot of hassle, but the scabies burrow and live under the skin for a number of days). This should do it, but make sure to vacuum up couches and rugs to clear any stragglers. Feather pillows seem to be the worst culprits of all, so either plastic wrap&amp;nbsp;infected ones&amp;nbsp;or perhaps toss them out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the infection is not treated, there can be a secondary allergic reaction to&amp;nbsp;substances the mites dump out, which makes it more confusing to diagnose.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hope that helps.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Prickling/itching skin</title><link>http://community.wddty.com/forums/post/5301.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Sep 2008 07:38:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e6c67f3d-bf7b-4201-a2c0-6e02384b9f98:5301</guid><dc:creator>retazi</dc:creator><description>All of a sudden&amp;nbsp;the skin on my left arm has started to extremely&amp;nbsp;prickle and itch, it just starts out of nowhere than stops after I have scratched my arm nearly to it bleeds.
