As I was browsing the web today, I came across an interesting opinion written by a homeopath. He argues that trying to suppress any condition makes it worse. Interestingly, he mentions how infants with eczema treated with conventional methods may end up getting the short end of the stick later in life:
“Infants who have eczema, or at least what has been diagnosed as eczema, and have it treated with all sorts of creams, ointments and potions are actually looking at some more serious problems down the road.
For example, asthma as a side effect of the poor management of childhood eczema…”
He also has an opinion on “natural products”:
“Even so-called natural products can give us a false sense of security when we use them.
Because they are natural really means that they are a better alternative than some of the products out there, but they can be suppressive as well.
A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself this question: Is the product you are using allowing the natural elimination of toxins from the body or does it keep things inside?
Pills may deal with the pain, deal with the discomfort. But do they deal with the root cause of that pain or discomfort?”
He hits the nail right on the head. This blog has stated (and will continue to state) that eczema must be treated from the inside out. This article isn’t just about eczema, but any condition and it’s worth reading. Check out the entire article here.
