Priya, start your journey to wellness SLOWLY. Look up pages here on EC and start with ONE idea. You WILL get better, but you should start.

Hey, hang in there, OK?

This is an external manifestation of internal problems.

I would recommend you start with listening to Abraham-Hicks on you tube, health topics, NO MATTER HOW CRAZY IT MIGHT SOUND TO YOU AT FIRST. Just enter into a search field "Abraham-Hicks disease, health,etc," This will give you mental a break from focusing on your condition and empower you, and teach you what to do. It did to me,when suicide was on my mind. IT WILL!!!!!!!!

Second,address your energy imbalances through TCM. Find a good TCM practitioner. You can start with gingherbs.com. They have free health assessment on their site, find out where you stand, what your deficiencies are. Then ask them your questions, they always respond, have a free 15min consult with them.

Skin problems usually associated with lungs and colon issues.

Third. Start doing QiGong. Every day,without a fail. Lots of free stuff on youtube. I like 7min,10min and 20min with Lee Holden. Spring forest QiGong is another one that I use.

Additionally...

Start elimination diet. Google about it. Drink distilled water with a splash of vinegar 1.5-2 liters a day. Do it religiously.

Do all of the above for 3 months,without skipping a day and see what happens.

Don't go to a physician. Do not take any supplements recommended on forums until after 3 months .

I"m sure you are at the point of giving up.I have been there. These simple things WILL help you if you get it your #1 priority no matter what.

ESSENTIAL OILS! Learn about them or find a practitioner. Butterfly Miracles with essential oils has free PDF brochure on its site.

.Here some readings for you(TCM):

http://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1966999

but please follow the protocol recommended above. Your problem lies in the entire body imbalance on emotional, energy andphysical levels. In this exact order. Trying to address just one level won't work.

Blessings.

Do NOT give up!!! You can beat this. Paying attention to personal hygiene SURELY should help. Take a shower every day. How old are you ? The BHT capsules MIGHT help. Also a healthy diet low in harmful fats should help a lot along with a standard multivitamin and mineral supplement. Also moderate exercise is important to good health.

Also oral hygene is important. Brush and floss your teeth....Oscar

Priya, tell us more. What have you tried already-treatments, supplements, diet change, medicine, what water do you drink, etc.

Essential oils are extremely powerful for skin conditions. Just one drop of pure essential oil affects every single cell in your body.

Read the booklet Mindy has recommended.

Most people sufferring at their wit's-end don't realize that rock bottom is the fertile soil for a new beginning. What seems like the worst time of our life is usually what drives or propels us forward. I have felt this way many times . Life takes us through these events . No one seems immune to them.

I hope each day you will feel less overwhelmed and more encouraged to move through your circumstances and as you do, meet new friends along the journey. Earth clinic has many remedies to try . Not all things work for all people.

Hi Charity...Ted from Bangkok has several remedies for folliculitis on EC. Here is one remedy with explanations:

"Lavender + tree oil common concentrations in shampoo is about 3-5%. You apply it just like any other shampoo.

I was wondering how much of everything to mix in and how to apply it.

Depends on your condition. You apply the lavender + tea tree liberally on your scalp overnight in the area of problem and beyond that area. It is done to kill the microbials.

My problem is with hair loss. The dermatologist first said it was from lichen planus and had me try different things

Hair loss is a straightforward matter. I have done studies after studies and people with hair loss have zinc, manganese, biotin, selenium, pantothenic acid, and inositol. A small change in diet can make a big difference. Eating only liquid egg yolk without white eggs is important. The white yolk will prevent the body from absorbing the nutrition from the yolk. Eggs are rich in biotin and lecithin, important for the hair growth on sulfur. Manganese is supplement in powder form in the form of manganese sulftate taken on an empty stomach. It is important to take at least 1, 000 -2, 000 mg per day of vitamin C (sodium ascorbate/ascorbic acid mix) to aid manganese absorption. Handling zinc is a bit tricky, it must be in the form of zinc acetate or zinc gluconate. You can only consume this in powder form. Zinc acetate in tablet from can be grinded and apply to head too, but it will cause dryness but you can use this to kill the microbial infection.

You will get the vitamin B5 and other Bs sources not available in most vitamin B complex sold in drug stores, such as Pangamic acid, inositol, that is found in abundance in brewer's yeast. So taking about 5-10 grams per day of brewer's yeast should handle the rare vitamin B complex not sold, plus the regular vitamin B complex you get at drug stores that have 100 mg. each of the major B1, B2, B3 (niacinamide), B6 for example, except for B12 which is best if it is 100 mcg. Taken at once per day.

Dermatologist are like sales representative for drug companies and they will always recommend the usual hydrocortisol, or some antibiotic drugs. I have had a chance to use them all and they simply don't work for me.. So you are going to go out of your way to try to use lavender and tea tree oil applied liberally on the scalp overnight for several days. It works quite well.

If you just follow my suggestion of manganese sulfate (about 50 mg/day) taken for only a couple of days (about 5-10 days) your hair will stop falling off.

If you can buy a product called Skinolen (an azelaic acid compound), it will reduce the formation of DHT (dehydrotestosterone) which causes the hair to fall off and the scalp often becomes oily. Stopping hair loss is straightforward: take the required nutrition and kill off the microbes. As for the pimple like rashes, lavender oil and tea tree oil applied liberally to the scalp should stop it. If not then apply vinegar. If STILL not working, then you may go to more drastic by applying a strong alkaline such as potassium carbonate mixed in water, a close substitute, is borax.

Your hair thickness should return with taken vitamin B complex, brewer's yeast, and the application of azelaic acid applied in thin amounts necessary to suppress the formation of DHT which causes hair thining. Of course my opinion is not DHT, but fungus or lichens, and most hair loss formulation, if you are observant enough are actually not anti DHT, but anti fungal formulations. So my guess is to do both DHT and anti fungal if you want results"

When I discovered Abraham-Hicks I was at my wits end and ready to give up due to a health problem. Louise Hay had mentioned them somewhere as being the best. Being intellectually curious I started to listen. I was immediately hooked on it and spent next month 8 hours/day each day listening to it on YouTube. I could not understand certain things they were talking about at first. The variety of topics(questions) they cover is huge. Being very skeptical, I could not find ONE flaw in their teachings, and I really tried. I listened to Bashar, but would always return to Abraham-Hicks.

That was two years ago and I still listen to it from time to time, especially when I need an emotional pickup or a good laugh. The amount of topics they cover is ever expanding. Thanks YouTube filters, I can always find "fresh" recordings or repeat the old ones.

People ask zillions questions about health and disease and aging;money and relationships, life in general, religions, death, suicide and all kind of other question etc. I was not disappointed once! Always empowered.

Sam..... I am a big fan of A. Hicks and Louise Hay and yes I have been following the teachings for a year now.............I do understand what they are saying and def. put their practice in my life but I do find it challenging. I know I believe it all in my head but it's my psyche that holds onto the resistance .. as I have too many negative thoughts in a day but I keep practicing..

Hello Priya;

Relative to your folliculitis nightmare...

Let me add to the previous responses to your original post.

If you Google "folliculitis virus/ bacteria causes" you will find a number of articles that contend there are various causes of folliculitis but that it may be largely related to infection of either virus or bacteria.

Sometimes it helps to determine if there is some truth to this if one can determine if a serious infection preceded the onset of the folliculitis symptoms.

If you can identify a serious infection that predated your condition then you can be a bit more confident that it may have been an unresolved infection that is causing your current condition.

If you do identify or not it would not hurt to try some anti-virals and anti bacterials such as colloidal silver; tea tree oil; Echinacea;

If me, I'd begin taking three tablespoons of colloidal silver three times daily. In two weeks see if there is any let up in symptoms. But I'd also do more on the surface of the effected skin areas. I'd use on some areas a realty good Echinacea. I find the best at Vitamin Shoppe. (Their brand.)

On another part of effected skin I'd use colloidal silver solution by putting the CS on a paper towel and letting the wet paper towel just draped over the area and pressed into the skin. Try the same with tea tree oil on another area. The point is, I might find that one substance works well to kill the infection.

I've had a lot of success dealing with infections using such techniques. Don't give up dear lady. There are thousands of EC community family who read your post and immediately began praying for you.

I want to thank mindy, bee and sam for their posts on the abraham-hicks information. It peeked my interest enough to go to youtube and look it up. I am so thankful I did. after listening to just one video I knew this is what I needed to change my life/health. I am currently listening to the "ask and it is given" part one and part two cd's that I was able to find immediately at the library. I know with practice this will take me where I want to be! Thank you
