Most simply you just wanna keep it oily inside and out. Oily baths or even showers and you have it under control on the surface.

Under the hood diet is profound, olive oils, coconut, and pretty much anything healthy can turn around the problem.

Cannabis seems to help, a salve is worth a try and sounds fun if nothing else. But don't treat with medicine till diet is changed, that's the cure you want.

LIke your diet your regular cannabis use should be oily, tinctures and cbd concentrates and smoking is going to hurt, you don't put a fire next to dry anything.

I agree with the doc, skin is a lot like plants. Dry leaves means moisture topically and on the inside chemistry that will promote healthy growth on the lowest possible layer, healthy oils, theres your most fundamental lubricant.

a good cbd balm will help

hello hope all is well

look up organic oats bath, cut out sugar and dairy and drinks loads of filtered or distilled water. Avoid foods that cause mucus and inflammation.

kind regards

100% agree..especially cutting the dairy.tobacco doesn't help if you smoke. And there is a product called neem cream highly recommended and its not dear either.

Elimination diet. Water, Salt, Steak(rib eye) aka Carnivore

hello all, am back on here after so long... its back again the eczema...but it makes my heart so happy to see all your helpful comments

Carnivore diet bro look in to it it will sort it out already has for lots of people 👍

Ive been using hemp seed oil and its the best !!!! I apply it all over body & take it orally too, just a few drops, works like a CHARM !

Hi mate, happy to send you a jar of canna coconut oil for your eczema. I can infuse it with turmeric, maca, lucuma, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and black pepper providing you are not allergic to any of those? Don't want any money just want feedback on if it helps at all!

can also add tea tree, lavender, chamomile, thyme, frankincense, basil and eucalyptus essential oils again providing you are not allergic to them. Message me!

avoid deadly nightshade family in your diet, that can make a big impact

Oh my that sounds real beautiful, messaged you !

Cold showers changed my life after suffering from chronic eczema for years. Calms it right down and let’s the CBD balls and steroid creams do there job

What dr doc said, shea butter works well for skin conditions, with my life i have had temendpus insight into this, as eczema is likely A MIND BODY issue....think about this fun fact, the skin has as much neuroscience as the brain......let that sink in like an oil..........and ask ur self, where is this in my mind, what is blocking me? If u want to message me about it u can but i knkw ur not asking....i had it on my knee, my ex gf told me this...i asked myself amd i got that i had been afraid to take the next steps.... To move forward..literally when i started taking steps in the direction It would disappear in parts, i realized it was more than one thing, more tham one step to take, and its not there, but it didnt disappear with conditioning.... i did eat healthier but it was SUPER FAST how it disappeared....it was crazy to see for me

Lifestyle, diet,
Stop using strong washing powder, change bed clothes every day when skin is bad.
Life long eczema sufferer

Fasting and putting your body in an autophagy state has anicdotal and possibly scientific backing too, to improve eczema. Also it has run through my family, and I find eating excessive sugars, carbohydrates and gluten inflames it. Just my two cents

Try the organic black seed oil and some extra B6 Vitamin and B12 thank us later .

Is black seed oil topical or ingested?

Nice

Agreed with the info already left! By add on... be careful when using creams and ointments... sometimes too much and too often can actually make the problem much worse! Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water too... such an easy thing to help so many ailments.

Diet only. Either Keto or Carnivore. I prefer carnivore with lots of beef.

I feel you bro, same sort of thing I suffer from.
I use moisturisers - usually of the emollient variety, avoid dairy and get some sun around you - avoid the sunbeds though (my girlfriend is a dermo-nurse and swears this will do more harm to the melanin than good. UV light treatment in a hospital is not a sunbed, it is very different). Also cauliflower and broccoli are really good - the rawer the better.

Take care man, and if you haven't already, go ask your GP for a referral to the Dermatology clinic asap, those guys are great and at the moment they are pretty much empty, but still operational as the hospitals wind down their response to Covid.

I had eczema really bad I’m talking elephant skin!
Go to a Chinese herbalist! They will sort it no problem.

The best ointment I found is a Chinese cream
Called 999. You can find it on eBay.

Nice too

Animal based diet. Its hard though because your meat has to be pasture raised grass fed. Also, you must consume organs and collagen (bone broth) for you to actually benefit. Also, include fruit, raw dairy and raw honey/maple syrup. Veggies you can eat are strict. Sweet potatoes and carrots are the only ones.

For example today ive ate a fillet of venison, an ounce of cooked grass fed liver and an ounce of grass fed heart. Ive had to get the organs from my local farm. I had a fried egg with it, some raw cheese, fried banana and kiwis and honey. I feel great.

Another thing I will mention is. You must try and avoid seed oils like the plague too just in general whatever diet you take up. I cooked everything I just mentioned in organic ghee. 6 quid a jar in sainsburys.

Rapeseed oil used to be used to lubricate war engines and its in every fucking product on them shitty supermarket shelves where theyre trying to shove shit down our necks. Research about rapeseed/canola oil people its real. That shit causes more inflammation in the body than a cigarette does.

Since Ive been on this diet my skins improved, my energy levels are always steady, I sleep better and I feel more alive than ever. I can string my sentences together better, I feel more coordinated in my speech and every day life things. Your diet is one of the main foundations of how you feel.

Hope if you try it out it helps. Doesnt all have to be grass fed from a farm too coz that can be expensive to keep on top of. Not saying you cant afford it but go research and find out hope this helps anyway🫶

Something that you might not a have heard of before… Tamanu Oil. Used in Polynesia for all sorts of skin issues, from rashes to cuts and burns.
I suffered with a skin rash for years, was prescribed all sorts of ointments, steroid creams, nothing worked and it only seemed to become drier and more inflamed.
I have always had a very healthy diet and drank plenty water, as well as exercising regularly. Still suffered with this issue.
Tried Tamanu oil after searching endlessly online for a solution and within a month the rash was gone. It’s available from face theory and only costs around £13 for a bottle (which should last about 2/3 months or even more) so not a big loss if it doesn’t work for you.
I will say though that it does have quite a strong earthy smell, but you get used to it quickly lol.

Diet:

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.

Anti-inflammatory foods: Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (such as fatty fish, chia seeds, and flaxseeds), fruits, vegetables, and foods high in antioxidants. These can potentially help reduce inflammation in the body.

Identify triggers: Keep a food diary to identify any specific foods that may trigger or worsen your eczema symptoms. Common triggers include dairy, gluten, and certain spices.

Lifestyle:

Moisturize regularly: Use fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated. Apply moisturizers immediately after bathing or showering to lock in moisture.

Avoid harsh chemicals and irritants: Use mild, fragrance-free soaps, detergents, and skincare products. Avoid exposure to environmental irritants like harsh weather conditions, excessive heat, or allergens that may trigger flare-ups.

Stress management: Stress can potentially worsen eczema symptoms. Practice stress-management techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or engaging in hobbies that help you relax.

Wear soft, breathable clothing: Choose loose-fitting, soft, and breathable fabrics such as cotton to avoid friction and irritation to the skin.

All I would add in is cotton gloves. Lose clothes and the washing powder has bug impact.

Also a stress diary - can be a delayed reaction.

Are you vegan?

I’d try cutting out lactose for eczema. Lots of skin issues caused by lactose. I have a severe intolerance to it and as soon as I eat it I get some weird painful skin stuff. And I’d just recommend a whole food diet high in veg and protein and cut out sugar and processed food, drink lots of water, take probiotics, use electrolytes regularly, to help distribute water to the cells.

Sunbeds. i.e Vitamin D

Give it a try and let me know.

Cheers. BB

Stay away from the sunbeds

avoid wearing synthetic fibres like polyester wear only natural fibres like wool cotton or sillk same for bed sheets

I have suffered from eczema for most of my adult life. Treatment starts on the inside, you will need to focus on your diet first. Look up 'The Elimination Diet' and start by cutting out the usual suspects: dairy and gluten. Look for any foods that trigger a skin response.

For flare ups you will need to moisturise and use corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, but this is not sustainable for the long term.

This will be a long and hard journey my friend, you will need to be patient, and I wish you luck.

There’s a guy who sells a cream wich is ment for soriesis but Ik it works for a fact with that not getting rid of the rashes but gets rid of the itching completely so might be worth a try only 5$ a tester

Buy silk bed sheets, get rid of what you have, may seem extravagant but I had constant eczema on my face towards the tops of my cheek bones, used steroid creams for years. On a hunch, I bought a silk pillow case. Haven't had use steroid cream on my face since. I imagine the same effect would apply allover. Cotton draws moisture and if your skin is already having trouble holding on to it, cotton aint helping for 8 hours a night. 👌

As always, getting medical advice here is a bad idea.

Eczema is a surprisingly complex condition. AFAIK scientists do not know the cause and many think it might be multi causal (like a cough, there are a lot of reasons you might have one!).

That being said - having a diet that nourishes your gut and mouth biome is beneficial for A LOT of things. Anecdotally, since i changed my diet to nourish my biome, my skin has improved, but I don't have eczema.

So - eat whole foods. Avoid ultra processed foods. Try to eat a lot of nuts, seeds and legumes. Avoid inflammation by balancing complex carbs with fats like EVOO. Eat 30 different plants a week. Eat about 30g of fibre a day (work up to this).

As you can see below, everyone has an answer and not all of them are reliable. And hardly any are based in evidence. Eg Neem - great stuff, as an insecticide or fungicide. Probably not useful as a treatment for eczema. Ringworm maybe. No evidence for topical application of CBD either.

I've made some homemade cannabis salve. Works a treat for mine and My sons psoriasis. Will be looking to test some on here with others. If anyone is interested drop me a message

Definitely recommend organic black cumin oil & a good diet will help also plenty of sun really helps

Vitamin E Oil is great for dry skin make sure you let it sink in n work before you wash. i get rly dry knees and it always works a treat .

A vegan macrobiotic diet
No processed foods

Cos i'm hoping they sort something, i dont wanna name and shame anybody and ruin there business if they made a genuine mistake. They know who they are mate.
Think i will stick with ULC and LUD cos both are spot on.

Lmao mate who the fuck gave you that

Wow what did that shit cost you? Looks fucking awful if I’m honest

I think $50, I got it sitting in a drawer somewhere. I tried to give my mate of it the other day and he just laughed at me?

I don’t blame him tbh.... It’s only going to get worse sitting in a drawer man, just wrap a massive spliff and lesson learnt I guess, we’ve all been there before mate.

Is it horizon?

No mate

Nice to see you having a go on other post about me.

From your picture my item is as pictured on the listing.

Horizon its not you i have never ordered from u mate

Dunny this was in reply to rollslife.

Chin up mate, maybe you will learn how to grow decent weed one day

I disagree strongly with the war comparison - that's not an example of a mutual effort, but the opposite: it's an example of large scale confrontation. People were called up to defend/attack from other people. MILLIONS of people died over YEARS.

This is a public health crisis, not a war. And the young haven't been called up, keyworkers, carers and health staff have. When I've been out and about with my family, it's fairly clear that the younger generations are the least bothered by what's going on, and aren't necessarily abiding by the guidelines to any effective degree.

And sadly, I don't think this is even something defined by the self interest of the ruling class. I think it's exposed the current ruling class is about as clueless as it ever had been. Johnson's flabby ensemble of random wankers have never at any point been good leaders. They got there off the back of a dishonest, divisionary Brexit campaign based on some entirely different agenda. They now have absolutely no idea what they're doing.

Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to humanity that if a democracy is to succeed, you can only back honest, able and skilled statesmen. Anyone less means we're fucked if there's any deviation from their intended narrative.

I don't blame anyone in this scenario. It's a collective human failure that it escalated to this scale. What I think matters now is the outlook, vision and ability of the leaders that might rebuild for the future. In 2019, world leadership probably never looked so weak... in the entirety of human history. And in the UK, we've currently got one of the most inept setups. BUT. Look at Starmer circling, look what we need to overcome, look what we want to build.

Give it a year or two and I think HOPE will be a usable word again. The Johnson/Trump/Bullshit breed need to move aside.

Yes but the fact that people are even looking to politicians in an era of science, free flow of information and consensus building media - why the fuck do we still have the twats?

THIS!

I know my case is extreme, but its not just old people who need protecting. My son is 2 years old and immunocompromised from chemotherapy. I don't fully believe in the lockdown but it is a bit more assuring for me that it isn't running rampant out there.

all the best to your son and thanks for your perspective

You definitely have a point.

The approach of "us-versus-them' is in fact a very European way of dealing with matters.

Indifference to social position, and consequently, acceptance of one's social status no matter what it is, became somehow a doctrine and a duty in the current world (if we are honest to ourselves): it is really the ideal philosophy, an ideological superstructure adequate to peacefully govern our world, conquered with its own consent.

'The old" send "the young" to wars. Because, "the young" (well, all ages really) willingly accept, for example, army duty.
It is only natural, that in current situation, "the young" are contemplating 'retaliation'. :)

I think, the value of a human life became something very insignificant.
Young people wait on the old to die in retirement homes, old are upset with the young, that they show no respect, etc.

A vicious circle.

And we do not really value human life, because we do not understand the concept of self-worth.
Which is nowadays confused with 'pouvoir d'achat', like they say in french (ability to buy). Just look at who the majority of humans are looking up to (movie stars, ufc fighters, etc.)

The thing is, we are never independent or self-made, and we all hopefully will be old one day too. So what connects old and young is gratitude.

No life is more important than another, whether it is an old life or a young one.
And no ideology or state will defend this point at all times, speaking sociologically or/and economically. It is self-damaging to an ideology or a state.

Should we or should we not do this or that? I don't know. Each individual should decide for himself.
I know that generalising (oh those olds, oh those youngs, oh those russians, oh those arabs, oh those french, oh those - would be an insult to my own intelligence.

A boomer is different from another boomer. And i am a survivor and want my children to be survivors too.

I may be never be in a position where i can decide on a broader scale of "should we or should we not".
But i can decide on my personal level and i just value life more than i value my ego.

Here is my humble opinion.

Thank you for being brave and raising this point.
It is important to discuss without fear to offend.
That is what freedom of speech is no?

Very thoughtful post (what a pleasure to read this instead of another sycophantic review), thank you for it my bigga.

I'm going to differ on one point. I think the perceived value of life is heading up and pretty much always has.

We are in the midst of the greatest human sacrifice for the least number of lives (in relative terms) ever.

Today's wars kill fewer in total than we lost in a week in WW1 or 2.

Murder rates are way down compared to history.

The financial investment made to squeeze out a few more years is more substantial than even our most recent ancestors could ever imagine.

There's lots more stats like this, they are hard to see when media profits from perceived conflict and makes everything look cataclysmic to get your attention.

Took the words right outa my mouth ;)

We need more youngsters in politics and less old farts creaming off the state. I think you reach an age when you start to become more selfish and want to accrue wealth. Bills and mortgages start to wear you down. I was definitely more idealistic when younger. We need to be a lot braver with who we allow to run the world and kick out the old guard. the youngsters are going to be paying off our debts for ever unless we change the system. Guy fawkes had the right idea.

I believe I am generation X but I will react anyway. It is an interesting discussion and I understand the thought behind it. The biggest issue I have with your statement is: what makes you think that older generations are not impacted by lock downs or other measures against the virus? Like we are all sipping whisky at our 2nd vacation homes. Your generation or any other is not sacrificing more then any other generation. Much love to you all

100 punks rule!

really i believe im the buzzcocks

Believe it, at least the buzz part.

I'm not old (38) and I very nearly got axed by COVID. I don't have a pre existing condition. It's worth considering that many young or younger people with pre-existing conditions are at high risk, as are the disabled and many mentally ill people. The structures of society also make sure that the poor are disproportionatily affected. So, what you're proposing, hypothetical or not, is a cull on the people in society who most need our support. And, I would add, people who add a huge amount of value to our societies. I am as annoyed by how our 'era' turned out as anyone, but putting boomers to death for the greater good? C'mon. Besides, the ruling class are not all old - they have children, who will inherit. Killing old (rich) people would do nothing for society. Advocating that other (poor) people's parents and grandparents have had their time is basically inhuman, or at least profoundly lacking in empathy.

Glad you are ok bigga and your message is hella important. Can I ask do you think there was a better way to handle this? Are you happy with the whole world shutting down to protect you?

love and respect

I don't want my parents to die any more than I want anyone else's, but the quality of life for the young is clearly being sacrificed again for the most protected generation that ever lived.

they're going to love the carousel

Logan's Run will always get an upvote from this bigga.

Great film......must watch it again soon

love this film :) I'm getting to a stage that I almost agree with it :)

Kind of irrelevant IMO because as a species we are all doomed anyway, which I'm OK with, but it's shame we're going to take most of the biosphere with us though, as it's really no fault of theirs. We are species out of control and one which is destroying it's environment. The planet will be much better of without us humans stinking up the place!

here's what im thinking, as long as when i'm burned for fuel a billion years from now there's this little bit of thc somehow left there all that time. and it says thanks, yeah, thanks, THANKS.

You'll have to send out the nurse on the Segway and take my teeth away!

Interesting read here

It is an interesting read. A prospective.

But, I believe what i see and I see a lot of tragedy.

It does seem if we were a little more honest about this we might come up with a better solution than locking everyone up.

Bingo!

agree somewhat, the damage to economy is going to kill tens of thousands alone, potentially more than would be lost to Covid, but perhaps not (Not an expert by any means). I invite people to look at how many people died on average each 2010-2015 due to austerity measures and debt. Suicides will go up to.

Im in the self employed bracket its truly shit but i think society will come out of this better on the whole

I am in the same boat and i like your positive outlook.

"Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time" - right?

We should also come out of this with as less damage and casualties as possible.

Been self-employed throughout 3 different continents and over a decade already and self-employed equals survivor to me at this point.

What if we just quarantine the old baby boomers and give them priority at hospitals, that way the rest of us can keep the world going and contsruct what they need.

Places should be open to people that are tested or recovered.

I’m out of job

I am sorry to read that.
Is being self-employed an option?

I was self employed hehe

I was in that small percentage who got no help lol and im sure i speak for many...

Unless i change my services...im hoping it blows over soon

Stay safe Vik

I see.

My family at the moment is throwing punches at the state mechanisms of supporting struggling businesses - we apparently fall into a category of self-employed families with children.

It's been already more than a month of letters' skirmish haha

Nightmare i know...

Im terrible with all that stuff it stresses me out

I need a secretary lol

Me too.
But i try to think of stress like of sore muscles after a workout. Eventually you surpass it and get used to it.

Sexretary is a good idea!

sorry for the typo. - secretary

I dont know man its easier to ignore it all hahahaha

Me too. My industry was among the first to go, About 2 weeks before lock down got told to stay at home no income... Now im out of a job completely.

It’s fucked up isn’t it, I’m in that small percentage of self employed who ain’t getting jack shit...I’d work tomorrow but not many want people in there houses now

We can only hope that this flys by and we can get back to work

Some sectors have increased in number of available positions, maybe worth looking into those sectors to get some work for the mean time

It is survival time at the moment. I like your attitude.

Im taking it as a holiday atm :)

Holiday - strategising and regrouping time!

Yes but dont give away the game plan lol

So sorry, fella. I hope something comes along soon.

This bigga booma had it 9 months ago. I have had my first shot of the vaccine just before xmas. Three weeks ago, we had an outbreak at work... forensic mental health. We kicked the virus' arse.

Not all boomers are bastards.

Disclaimer: if I am a bastard, it has nothing to do with my age. This old goblin girl has always been one. :-)

Neji
x

the boomers are the majority of voters i think so isnt it also a democratic move?

playing along with the existing system doesn't make them the real majority.

There are elements that are particularly cruel for young generations that have been caused by the benefits enjoyed by older generations. Retirement / pension age is the first to mind. We all retire later if at all because they fucked the pension pot for those claiming now. Housing and land are impossible to buy at reasonable prices, because the older generation owns it all. Wealth disparity grows with extended lifespans, as the elderly hold onto it instead of spending it. But these issues are not the fault of those older generations, but the governments modus operandi of dealing the better cards in the deck to those who can vote at the time and have money. Who cares about the generations that can't support government agendas right now? No one is the answer, and it has resulted in a shit deal for the young that will only get worse as time goes on.

The chant throughout this has been that you “can’t put a price on life” which is ridiculous because we do it all the time. The NHS will not buy expensive cancer drugs unless they extend life for ‘long enough’, councils won’t spend on accident hot spots until a certain number of deaths have been er...’achieved’?!
The equation is called ‘quality adjusted life years’ and it’s frequently used to decide cost vs life. That sum has now been done for the pandemic (freaky task) and yup, it doesn’t add up. The number of quality life years saved versus those to be lost through unemployment, poverty, undiagnosed health conditions, mental stress etc are insignificant.
We fucked up. But then we’re only human....

as a 51yr old father of 11yr old twins (one boy, one girl), and reflecting on how I have myself matured (lack of!) I can honestly offer an opinion that humans may be physically capable of sexual reproduction early mid/teens, but that doesn't make them adults. Likewise 20s and even early 30s. I was a selfish prat right up to having kids. Having kids completely changes your priorities and outlook, including CONFIRMING that kids are, literally, the future. So you're right about preserving the future for younger generations. BUT if adults don't become adults (really!) until they have kids, and human kids can't look after themselves, and anyway don't mature mentally til they have kids, we come full circle, that is why you need 2 generations minimum at the same time. HTH!

I'm 27 with baby number 2 due next month. My life didn't feel lil it had much meaning before becoming a dad, I cared a lot less about everything. As for Corona it's really not a big risk to a vast majority of the population. Most of the people dying are 80+. When the people who are 80+ were born their life expectancy was like 67. They've done well. I think all lives are equal but not all deaths are tragic.

I agree with you

it's just their point in the cycle. the saddest part is that they think they're enlightened when they're actually browbeaten hippy-child retards.

It's actually just an efficient way to transport and consume cannabinoinds, the alcohol amount on these is really low(100ml/12-42%) and the hash oil dose is quite high (300mg). but if alcohol is not allowed on here I will ofcourse take the listing down.

I like the sound of a Jack (Herer) Daniels :-)

And it’s a cancer causing agent .

I don’t know if it’s allowed on here on not . And frankly there are other products on LB that are very unhealthy . I was just pointing out another LB inconsistency, as people seem to say this site is for no harmful products.

I dont see what your issue is mate. The Alcohol being sold above is THC infused so it falls in line with what is typically sold on LB. Following your logic all confectionery edibles on LB should be banned as sugar is technically cnsidered to be just as damaging as alcohol. If you dont like the product then just dont buy it instead of arguing to get it removed

Again please read what I wrote and try not to let your emotions write for you. I am not attacking any vendor or personal choices.
Also by your logic thc can be infused into anything, even smack , and be ok to sell on here. Peace;)

Whaaat ?
How about other things on here , like extracts made with chemicals , Viagra and other crap.
Leave Hashisin alone, I love products he bringing in, as it something different !
Booze combined with cannabinoids gives me euphoria like nothing else, so is great for mental well-being.

Exactly! Phenibut and modafinil are among others. Cannabis has multiple health benefits . Does alcohol? This is definitely not a personal attack on hashisin, I just stated a few scientific facts and considering it has been said there is nothing harmful on LB, so wondered why alcohol was allowed. Please continue to sell , I was just making an observation and people are free to buy and sell whatever they like;)

Yes, you're totally right! We need to prohibit alcohol immediately.After all,we all know how successful criminalising substances has been.
You'll have to excuse my sarcasm,but there's nothing more annoying than a user of one drug bad mouthing other drugs thoughtlessly.
Don't like booze........ don't buy ! Simple as that.

It’s just a discussion. Take it easy, have a drink maybe;)

Thanks,but no- I'm an alcoholic.

FYI I am not saying alcohol should be prohibited. I think everyone should be able to put whatever they want into their bodies. Being aware of what a substance does in your body isn’t a problem.

Just a message to say , this post is not about debating if alcohol is harmful or not. It’s just to discuss an inconsistency with the LB rules. If you are going to post , please try to post about that instead of flaming me for something I haven’t put across. Take care;)
