Atopic eczema or eczema that is caused by inhalant allergy is the most prevalent form of the disease. You can spend your entire life trying to treat the disease by using various forms of steroid creams, pills, and lotions. Or you can do what I did, which is take charge of your disease and beat it once and for all. I am going to explain to you how I finally beat eczema without the use of any prescription drug and without the use of any more steroids.

About 20 years ago I was first diagnosed with atopic eczema. The doctor immediately sent my parents to the pharmacy to pick up what was then a cutting edge steroid. The idea was to help stop the itch and give my body the chance to heal itself. Of course, if you are experiencing eczema then you probably know how the story goes. It worked for a short period of time, but then ceased to be effective and the eczema came back even worse than before. This process was repeated many times and each time a new version of steroid treatment was prescribed and each time my eczema got better and then came back again.

It wasn’t until a little over year ago that someone introduced to me the idea of treating my eczema holistically. The idea was to treat the cause and not just the symptoms. While this idea had occurred to me many times during my twenty year struggle with the disease, I had never been presented with a plan to actually make it work.

Well here is the gist of what I learned. Atopic eczema is caused by things we inhale. To put it in simpler terms, pollens, dusts and mold spores are most likely causing your outbreaks. For me, a year round pollinating tree was the cause. When I inhaled these pollens my body looked for the easiest route to get rid of them, which happens to be our skin. As the toxins were expelled, my body’s natural defense was to release histamines which then caused an outbreak.

I finally beat atopic eczema by using a combination of foods and supplements which allows my body to rid itself of these toxins through means other than my skin. It’s not rocket science, it’s just a matter of knowing the quantity and time to take the supplements and eat the foods. Eczema is a treatable disease, but you have to go after more than just the symptoms if you want to be eczema free.
