Diet and Eczema

Psoriasis and Eczema Sufferer’s Diet Cure Helps Thousands of Sufferers

This article about knee pain exercises and knee pain relief was written by Julie Hambleton, co-founder of The Taste Archives.
Eczema is one of the most common health conditions in America, afflicting 31.6 million people across the country. (2) This means that over ten percent of the American population has at least one of the eight types of this skin condition, characterized by dry, itchy, scaly, thick skin that often is covered in blisters and painful lesions. (1, 2) The degree of severity of eczema varies among its sufferers, but for all makes living a normal life uncomfortable, embarrassing, miserable, and in some cases impossible.
There are many medicated creams on the market to treat eczema, however these mostly treat just the symptoms and not the cause itself, and provide only temporary relief. Thankfully, many eczema sufferers have been discovering that treating from the inside by way of dietary changes and certain healing foods, has lead to a much more effective and longer lasting relief. One of these people is Hanna Sillitoe, and this is her story.

Hanna’s Story

At the age of 35, Hanna’s life was a constant struggle. Her twenty-year fight against eczema had become so bad that the raised red bumps that covered her knees, legs, elbows, arms, back and stomach would even spread onto her scalp and eyelids. She was in so much pain that she would often wrap as much of her skin as she could in plastic wrap before getting dressed to prevent her clothes from rubbing against her raw, rashed skin.
“As well as skin problems, I suffered recurring urinary tract infections, my blood pressure was dangerously high, I was overweight and permanently exhausted.” Hanna recalled to The Daily Mail UK.
After every cream and ointment available failed her, she was told that her only medical option left was chemotherapy. Before going through with it, however, she began reading online about diet can have a big influence on eczema, and how using anti-inflammatory foods can improve overall health. Hanna took what she learned and came up with her own diet, cutting out dairy, wheat, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol.
“I cleared my psoriasis, eczema, and acne, and lost five stone in weight without trying.” Hanna reports,

“My recurring kidney infections disappeared, my bleeding gums healed and my energy levels bounced through the roof.”

Hanna is Now Helping Others Regain Their Lives Back

After her dramatic improvements and massive boost to her overall quality of life, Hanna decided she needed to share her story with the world. She started blogging about her diet and its results, and eventually wrote a book which has sold over 5,000 copies and helped hundreds find relief from the painful symptoms of eczema.
Hanna’s book and blog have helped toddlers and children as well as adults live normal lives.

How Diet Heals Eczema

Recent research suggests that eczema is an autoimmune disease, in which your body’s immune system confuses healthy skin cells with dangerous invaders and attacks, resulting in bumpy, red, itchy, painful sores and rashes that often ooze and sometimes even bleed. It is in large part an allergic disease – all eczema patients test positive for allergies, and 80% have elevated levels of IgE, an allergic antibody –  which is why until you address the problems that are causing it (i.e. the allergens that trigger the flare-ups), no amount of creams or medications will solve the problem. (1, 2, 3)
While there are many external triggers, such as pollen, cleaning and laundry products, and even hot showers or stress, one of the largest affecting factors that cause outbreaks are certain foods. Inflammatory foods, common food allergens, and the resulting gut dysfunction those foods cause will put sufferers in a nearly constant state of outbreak. (4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

What is Hanna’s Diet

In short, Hanna’s diet involves eating unprocessed, whole foods, plenty of vegetables, homemade juices, and drinking lots of water. What she wants to make clear is that the diet may look slightly different from person to person, depending on what your triggers are and the quality of the food that you have available to you.

Foods to Avoid

Typically, an anti-eczema diet will involve avoiding allergens, which may include:

• Wheat
• Dairy
• Sugar and synthetic sugar alternatives
• Caffeine
• Alcohol
• Meat
• Nightshades
• Eggs
• Peanuts
• Soy
• Other grains (including rice, oats, corn, and quinoa)

Just because you have eczema, doesn’t mean you will necessarily have to cut out all of these foods. You will most likely have to experiment with an elimination diet until you discover what your triggers are.
Hanna found that for her, eating a largely vegetarian/vegan diet worked best. She avoids processed foods and the ingredients that come with them (sugar, sugar alcohols, soy, corn, and other chemical ingredients), as well as wheat, dairy, most nightshades, eggs, caffeine, and alcohol.

Foods to Include

At this point, the anti-eczema diet may seem quite overwhelming and next to impossible. This is the myth that Hanna aims to dispel through her book and blog, reminding you that there are still hundreds of foods you can eat, and with a little bit of help from her, you can still eat delicious meals, snacks, and even desserts and genuinely enjoy your food every day.
Foods that you can still eat plenty of includes:

• • Green vegetables: Think kale, spinach, zucchini, cucumber, arugula, broccoli, brussel sprouts, you name it you can most likely eat it! Not only do these veggies come packed with nutrients and antioxidants, but they are also highly anti-inflammatory and will counteract the inflammatory condition of your skin.
  • Other vegetables: Cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, garlic, cabbages, carrots, celeriac, artichokes… all of these vegetables can be versatile and fun. Think meals including cauliflower rice or mushroom “meatballs” – the more creative you get, the more fun it can be.
  • Squashes and Sweet Potatoes: Get your healthy carb fix with squashes (pumpkin, butternut, acorn, buttercup, etc) and sweet potato. These traditionally fall and winter veggies are pumped full of beta-carotene and other skin healing nutrients, and can make the best soups, stews, salads, and even cakes, brownies, and puddings you’ll ever eat!
  • Beets: Beets tend to be a rather polarizing root, however if you are previously turned off by their earthy flavor, I implore you to give them another shot. There are so many ways to eat them, I am sure you can find a way that you like.
  • Healthy fats: Avocado, olives, various nut and seed butters (allergy dependent), coconut, all of these good for you fats are beneficial for your skin, gut, and other organs. Quite literally, healthy fats help keep your body running like the “well oiled machine” that it should be.
  • Fermented Foods: Aside from removing the foods from your diet that are damaging your gut and causing painful eczema outbreaks, the probiotics in fermented foods such as kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir (there are dairy-free versions) help to heal your gut and your skin. (6, 7, 8)
  • Herbs and Spices: There is no better way to flavor your food than with antioxidant packed, anti-inflammatory herbs and spices. Some of the major players in this category are turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne, cloves, ginger, sage, and rosemary.
  • Fruits: Though your primary focus should be vegetables, fruits are not off limits! Fruits, dried fruits, and other natural sugars such as honey are not off limits and should be enjoyed, as they have plenty of skin-healing and anti-inflammatory benefits of their own.

Things to Consider

As always, keep in mind that you are unique and not every food that agrees or doesn’t agree with someone else will work for you. Be mindful if purchasing things such as dairy-free milks, as they can sometimes have additives that might not be suitable, and always opt for an unsweetened version.
In her book and on her blog Hanna reminds you that the healing will take time and changing your diet does not equal immediate results. In her experience, it took nearly a month before she really began to see results, with her condition actually worsening in the first week or two. Keep a journal or food log where you track your skin’s appearance. This will not only help you identify trigger foods, but it will also help you to follow along with your progress and notice the subtle changes, however small, at the beginning. Be patient, it will work.

Other Triggers

Beyond food, there are other factors that can cause eczema outbreaks to be mindful of and track. These include (2,3):

• Soaps, detergents, shampoos, and other cleaning products
• Makeup, moisturizers, other toiletries
• Stress
• Certain fabrics
• Pesticides and herbicides
• Other environmental pollutants

This is again where being mindful and keeping a skin journal is helpful. If you experience an outbreak despite not having any dietary slips or changes, you can look to other external and environmental factors to determine the cause. Are you going through a particularly stressful time at work or home? Have you bought any new clothes or made changes to your usual self-care or cleaning products? Any and all environmental changes can affect your skin, so remember not to panic and make the changes necessary to get you back on track.

The Bottom Line

You have to heal yourself on the inside before you will see a difference on the outside. Though completely overhauling your diet may seem daunting at first, with the help of people like Hanna, thousands of eczema sufferers are regaining their lives and their self-confidence, and you can too.

Tattoos could cause CANCER

Old Tattoos Causes Illness for Woman 15 Years After She Got It

In today’s day and age, it’s rare to meet someone who doesn’t have a tattoo. In the past tattoos were seen as taboo, making it difficult for people to get a decent job. That mindset has radically shifted in recent years, and now it’s not only rebellious youngsters that are jumping on the tattoo bandwagon. Tattoos are now seen as a form of self-expression and identification; however researchers are beginning to believe that the longer that self-expression stays on your skin, the more damage that it does to your body.  The Pew Research Center states that four-in-ten millennials have tattoos, with half of that number having more than one[1]. With the rise in tattoo popularity, it raises the question: do we know enough about the long-term effects of injecting ink into the body?

Old Tattoos Can Cause Problems Mistaken for Cancer

In Australia, a 30-year old woman (whose name has not been released) went to doctor with small lumps under her arms that had been there for two weeks. A body scan showed that there were similar enlarged lymph nodes in her chest.
“Ninety-nine times out of 100, (this) will be lymphoma,” said her doctor, Dr. Christian Bryant, a hematologist at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney[2].
An otherwise healthy woman, she was experiencing no other symptoms of lymphoma. She did, however, have a large, 15-year old black ink tattoo covering her back, and a more recent tattoo on her left shoulder. 
In this woman’s case, her inflamed lymph nodes were not caused by cancer, but from a reaction to the old ink in her body. Once her immune cells found the tattoo pigment – a foreign substance – they ingested it and travelled from the skin to the lymph nodes over a period of years.
“The pigment is too large for these cells to eat and digest,” Stebbins said. “That’s why they’re still there many years later.”[2]

Why the woman had a reaction 15 years later is a mystery to the doctors. But, while this woman’s ordeal seems to be a rare occurrence, it’s still important to understand the risks involved with the tattoo industry.

What Is Inside Tattoo Ink?

Injecting ink into the body is not the most natural of processes. Many people will agree to a tattoo without understanding what it is that they are putting into their body, and that what they’re putting in can be hazardous.
In the production of tattoo ink, more than 100 colorants and 100 additives are used [5]. These products have been found to contain hazardous chemicals, and many do not comply with international health and safety standards.
Even more shocking, the Food and Drug Administration has found that “Many pigments used in tattoo inks are industrial-grade colors suitable for printers’ ink or automobile paint.”[6]

Side-Effects of Tattoo Ink

With these kinds of ingredients, it’s not surprising that many people display symptoms after getting a tattoo. However, most people report nothing more than mild irritation in the form of a rash, redness or bumps around the area of the tattoo shortly after getting inked.
Some people may experience an infection, which may cause high fever, shaking, chills, and sweats. Treatment of these infections may require antibiotics, or even hospitalization and/or surgery. An allergic reaction may appear in the form of a rash, and because the ink is permanent the reaction may persist.

Scar tissue may form when you get a tattoo. Small bumps may form around the material that the body sees as foreign, which could make your tattoo less pretty than you perhaps intended[4].
While most people report minimal symptoms, there are also people who experience more severe reactions. Bacterial infections and acute allergic reactions may occur, as well as a skin pigmentation disorder[5]. The risk of cancer from tattoo procedures has been neither proven nor excluded.  
Despite the risks, many people are adamant on expressing themselves through the art that they tattoo on their body. If this is the route you’re taking, be sure to protect yourself to minimize risk and to keep yourself safe.

Protect Yourself from Tattoo Mistakes

If you’re planning on getting a tattoo, there are a few things to consider in order to make the process safer and more enjoyable for everyone.

Go to a reputable tattoo artist

Choosing a tattoo artist is perhaps the most important part of the tattoo process. You want to choose someone who has a good reputation. Check the artist’s client references to make sure that past clients were satisfied with the service. If possible, try to meet the artist and visit the parlor beforehand.

Choose a good-quality parlor

The second most important part of getting a tattoo is to make sure that the parlor is up to your standard. Make sure that both the artist and the parlor comply with state and local laws. Visit the parlor before booking your appointment to make sure that it is clean, and that they are using disposable needles and unopened ink to prevent infection.

Education is key

Knowing what you are putting in your body is always important. Learn about the side-effects that you may experience, and what you need to do should you experience any of them, and you will better be able to take care of yourself in the event of an emergency.

Organizations like European Society of Tattoo and Pigment Research have spent a great deal of time learning about the art of tattooing in order to offer knowledge and guidance to the public. Take advantage of these resources to learn as much as you can before investing in a tattoo.
When it comes to self-expression, tattoos are becoming an increasingly important part of our modern day society. Before you or your loved ones jump on the tattoo-train, make sure that you know as much as possible, so that you can make an educated decision. If you already have a few old tattoos, be aware that problems can arise years down the road. Knowledge is the most important aspect when choosing to do anything that’s permanent. Learn as much as you can about your body so that you can keep yourself safe and happy.

You Can Spot Any Psychopath by Looking for These 8 Warnings

When you hear the word psychopath, chances are you’re thinking about knife-wielding men with a crazed look in their eyes at all times. This is the usual portrayal we’re shown by popular culture, so it makes sense that this is people’s definition of the word. But it’s not that simple. In fact, you could be in the presence of a psychopath and not even know it.

What Is A Psychopath

Let’s clear the air first: what is a psychopath? Is it different from a sociopath?
Here’s a short history lesson. In the early 1800s, doctors working with mental patients noticed that, while they appeared normal on the outside, they had what they called a ‘mental depravity’. These doctors noticed that they didn’t seem to possess any sense of ethics or of the rights of other people. In the 1900s, the term ‘psychopath’ was applied to these patients. It was changed to ‘sociopath’ to reflect the damage that they do to society [1].
Researchers have gone back to using the term psychopath to refer to a more serious disorder, linked to genetics, creating more dangerous individuals, while continuing to use ‘sociopath’ to refer to less dangerous people who are more a  product of their environment, including their upbringing [1].
One more key difference between psychopaths and sociopaths is whether they have a conscience. That little voice in their head that tells them when they’re doing something wrong. Psychopaths don’t have that, they use and manipulate people to their will and feel nothing. A sociopath does typically have a conscience, but it’s weak and doesn’t stop them from doing what they want. What’s important to remember is that both lack empathy [2].

How To Spot A Psychopath

Like we said before, when people think psychopaths, they think axe-wielding murderers. In reality, psychopaths appear to look just like us. While the number of psychopaths in prison is overrepresented (only about 25% of inmates make the requirements to be labeled a psychopath), research suggests that a sizeable number of psychopaths walk around us every day [3].
This doesn’t mean that you need to lock yourself up at home for fear of being attacked; one of the biggest myths about psychopaths are that they are all violent [3].
If you’re still a little uneasy, here are 8 ways to tell if someone may be a psychopath [4]:

1. They feel no guilt

Psychopaths feel no guilt about their actions. They will do what they please to get what they want, and never feel bad about it.

2. They don’t feel empathy.

A psychopath isn’t able to put themselves in someone else’s shoes and understand their emotions. What they are capable of doing however, is mimic empathy or sympathy, which they learned from observing others.

3. They enjoy making people feel guilty.

Advertisement

Psychopaths love to play with people’s emotions. It’s how they can manipulate people into doing what they want. They pick up on small details about you to gain your trust, and use that information to guilt trip you and cash in on favors.

4. They only value themselves.

The whole world could be going up in flames, but as long as they’re ok, they couldn’t care less.

5. They think they’re better than everyone else.

Psychopaths view themselves as superior to everyone around them, that’s how they get away without feeling any guilt. They feel almost omnipotent, above everything and everyone.

6. They’re liars.

They’ll lie about everything, even if it has no benefit to them. It gives them a false sense of power that they can’t get enough of.

7. They are generally well-liked.

Advertisement

While it sounds terrible, the sad fact is that psychopaths are able to get along with almost anyone. They are friendly and approachable, nothing like you might see in movies or tv.

8. They don’t take responsibility for their actions.

This is how they can be manipulative and feel no guilt. They feel no responsibility for what they do. Ever.
Now, while you think you might think you know someone who matches this criteria, there is actually a much more scientific checklist known as the Psychopathy Checklist Revised (PCL-R), developed by Robert Hare and his colleagues [1]. This is really the only way to truly determine if someone is a psychopath, and chances are if you think you know someone like this, they’re really just a big jerk.
