2.5 Years After Withdrawing from Topical Steroids...


2.5 YEARS AFTER STOPPING STEROIDS
(this post says it is posted in 2013, I have moved it on the calendar just so it sits in the right spot on my blog, but today is the 18th June 2014)
So.. a lot has happened since I last posted..
We have stayed living an organic paddock to plate lifestyle, that will never change.
In short, we started a family (got a dog..a golden retriever.. her name is Rocket), moved interstate to the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. I add the photos and our most recent ones are at the bottom of this post (now Sept 2016).
I am so proud of everyone who has found us and gone through this struggle to live our better quality of life and health. 
Nothing makes me happier then watching Jake stroll out of the house in a T-shirt and shorts..
I love you Jake!! X

Jake's life has completely changed for the better, forever.
This does not mean we don't have to work on health to keep it that way. 

We have experienced stressful times since the withdrawal, which has brought on eczema and other inflammatory issues. 

The key core things to keep in check are diet, stress management, and environment.

We will always strive for better health.

FOOD IS MEDICINE Xx

  5. So great!! This was one of the first blogs I saw along with Josh's. It was extra wonderful knowing you were all in Australia and that I wasn't the only one and that your outlooks were so filled with hopefulness in something that was goddam terrible on so many levels. These blogs and others really do create such an amazing sense of connectedness I reckon. They've been the difference between feeling desperate and alone to feeling understood and supported, in this experience which is for the most part medically unacknowledged. Great pics!! So fantastic to see that there is a rainbow ...

  8. Congratulations on your healing!!

    I just wanted to chime in and add something on top of avoiding steroid treatments for those who don't know.

    Please stop your prescription drug-based approach, these are simply meant to mask symptoms of a more deeper roots issue - the answer lies in nutrition. Eczema is usually caused by gut problems which translates to an inflammatory response and omega-6 essential fatty acid deficiency in the skin.

    Supplementing the skin topically with omega-6 essential fatty acid (from evening primrose or borage oil) will help to significantly reduce the severity and itchiness of the condition. To effectively cure eczema, inflammation in the gut needs to be healed through nutrition - research Dr. Axe.

    Our product, Miracle Oil, is made with only organic/non-GMO and vegan ingredients, and was created for eczema and acne sufferers. It's high in omega-3 and 6 essential fatty acids, and contains 10 herbs with proven hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties.

  18. Hallo. I came across this post and I am so interested in a solution. We just went through a severe episode again last week. My husband sheds so bad it looks like snow in our home. I wish we can gat a cure for his skin. I do not know how to cope. We need help, but financially we cannot afford to not work. Im constantly crying and he also wants to cry, that is how bad it is. We are using credit cards to pay for the doctor and the meds as medicals doesn't want to pay. Your story is inspiring about your partner and how you guys overcome this. I will finish my studies and do what i can to help him.

  19. My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could be reading this now, I want to thank you. And many thanks to Dr. Itua Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar that I put on my wall in my house. Dr. Itua can also cure the following diseases ... Cancer, HIV, Herpes, Hepatitis B, Inflammatory Liver, Diabetis, Fribroid,Parkinson's disease,Inflammatory bowel disease ,Fibromyalgia, recover your ex. You can contact him by email or whatsapp, @ .. drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com, phone number .. + 2348149277967 .. He is a good doctor, talk to him kindly. I'm sure he will also listen to you.
