My daughter has cough and eczema

Posted By Raj (Fremont, Ca, Usa) on 10/19/2011

My daughter never fell sick first 6 years and then suddenly she started getting cough with no mucus and it used to long for months. Tired of allegra and nasal sprays. Tried skin sensitivity for allergies, they came up with all the main trees in CA.

She also developed an Ezcema on the both the hands on the other side of elbow since 2 yrs. I tried cortizone and all other medications. Three days ago, started a coconut oil just to rinse it. She has no control, she just rubs it as soon as it starts itching.

I wanted to use ACV. What are your suggestions?

Yogurt, yogurt, yogurt. :)

Have her eat yogurt twice a day. You will notice improvement in her eczema within a week. She will have to continue eating it to keep it at bay.

I had terrible psoriasis/eczema on my elbows and the side of my ankles for years. I had tried all the standard creams... The only thing that worked was the Budwig Protocol (I eat it once a day). It took a little getting used to but, it all went away. Good Luck!

Hi Raj, You could try 1 teaspoon ACV in a glass of water and have one yourself at the same time with her. It can be much easier if you do it together and it is a drink that you are both having as apposed to it being seen as a medicine. If a piece of ice in a drink is seen as a treat then let her add one the first few times she has the drink. I would not add any extra for the first 2-3 weeks.

I also think bleached flour needs to be avoided. If it is possible I believe switching to organic grains is best as the chemicals used in storage are not good plus have seen great results from this. My girlfriend had great success with this and flax seed oil. One way to take flax oil is to make a banana smoothie - just plain yoghurt & 1 tbs flax oil blended together first, then add banana (or berries) and a spoon of raw honey. You could also add the teaspoon of ACV to this.

From personal experience chemicals in the home (cleaning products, sprays, perfumers) can actually cause eczema and add to the allergies. It may also be worth testing the ph of her urine and if it is acidic then give her an alkalizing drink. If she does not like the taste then let her drink it while it is still fizzing. Tulsi is also good for air-borne allergies taken as a tea. It is quite nice served cold in a glass and add a spoon of local raw honey, when its local & raw it can help with pollen allergies. Sorry about the long post when you only asked about ACV. All the best.

I agree with the other post, I would keep up with the coconut oil and also give it to her internally.
