A mid 70 year old female was waking up each morning for several weeks with crusty eyes and had skin peeling from her upper eyelids. She admitted to eating lots of sugar, dairy and bread/baked products during the holidays. She was told to do the following (below) and in one day she called me and said her eyes had completely cleared up.
– She ate from my BED (Basic Elimination Diet) food list which eliminates all dairy and wheat products among other common allergens.
– She stopped eating sugary processed foods and alcohol.
– She immersed her face in hot salt water for 5 seconds 5 times in the morning and evening (facial rinse).
– She took powdered vitamin C 2000 milligrams each morning and evening.
– She made sure her dog stayed off her bed.
This relief of all her eye symptoms came mainly from eliminating offending foods, and secondarily getting rid of any environmental allergens, such as her dog (hair & dust). Vitamin C stimulates the enzyme that breaks down histamine so this helped with any allergic symptoms…..When in doubt with a new skin condition? Think food first! Environment second!
Be and Stay Well,
