4 out of 5 stars

In my long search to find a cure for the eczema (atopic dermatitis) issue on the top of my foot which seems to get worse each summer (flares with heat), I came across this article today as I was searching to see if I could find any articles on parasites causing atopic dermatitis. Voila, check this out. A case of atopic dermatitis caused by Ascaris lumbricoides infection https://clinicalmolecularallergy.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12948-018-0088-5

Here are the pics after the teenager was treated for the parasites. https://clinicalmolecularallergy.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12948-018-0088-5/figures/1

I have decided to embark on a celery juice cleanse first thing in the morning followed 30 minutes later by parasite-killing herbs using humaworm supplements (best on the market in my opinion). I am on day 3 of 16 ounces of fresh celery juice and day 2 of the humaworm. Will let you know if there's any progress. Taking pics. It's definitely flared and brought things to the surface since I started. Celery juice detox effects intense for an hour or two after drinking it -- headache and some brain fog! Also, not as carb hungry as usual, so I am losing a pound here and then. Later in the day after the side effects wear off, am feeling very energized and productive.

Hi, I had some kind of eczema/dermatitis off and on this summer on a different finger at different times. I've had this kind of dermatitis before but this summer it was worse and the itch was really super annoying. Nothing helped it until I remembered a remedy that I heard a naturopathic doctor talk about for poison ivy. That remedy is: - rub sea salt (dry or slightly damp) into the blisters (they will break) - rinse with water - final rinse with hydrogen peroxide poured from bottle - keep uncovered - will dry out and - will not spread. I did everything but the hydrogen peroxide rinse each time. The itch was gone immediately, it dried out and healed. It's the only thing I tried that worked You may have something similar?

Hi Lioness,

Thank you so much for the sea salt and peroxide remedy. Sounds fabulous. I will absolutely give it a try! I have just added a generic OTC anti-fungal cream application to spots on the foot (in addition to celery juice and parasite herbs) as the eczema has gone bonkers in the high CA heat the past week. The anti-fungal cream is one thing I haven't tried on eczema spots yet (and I have tried well over 20 remedies by now) so I thought I would try that approach. The current 3 remedies (celery juice, parasite cleansing herbs and OTC) appear to be helping, but I've had remedies like thyme oil and iodine completely clear up the spots only for them to end up reappearing after a week and spreading to a larger area on the foot! Appreciate your suggestion, thanks again. I will let you know how it goes when I try it!

What you are describing regarding the iodine combo is a rebound effect from stopping the applications too soon or too abruptly. This is similar to a topical steroid rebound and generally indicates that you should taper off gradually over an extended period of time so the body does not mount such a strong inflammatory response once the iodine and all have cleared you. It doesn't matter what clears you, but tapering off gradually seems like one way to go.

Hi Art!

Thank you so much for your post. Yes, you're right.. I stopped some of the treatments without tapering off, except in the case of the thyme oil... that just stopped being effective one day. Good news to report -- my new protocol seems to be working well. 90% healed in a week. I have been documenting it with photos. I will be sure to taper off very slowly. I don't know if it was the Antifungal (Lotrimin -- lotrimazole cream -- turned out to be better than the generic cream), 16 oz of celery juice on an empty or the humaworm parasite killing supplements, but on day 5, everything started to get better after going gangbusters. Seems to spread once the outside temperature hits 85F, by the way. Currently no itch and everything healing very nicely. Just found a post from Kyle from Bangkok a few posts down on this page... seems to report good results for dyshidrotic eczema on his hands after doing an athlete's foot protocol to kill fungus. Too bad I didn't notice this post before! That's why it pays to read every post in an ailment... some of the good ones are buried!
