Eczema - worst enemy! How to care/cure them in natural, holistic approaches.

Blessed and forever thankful for holistic approaches and practices!!

Eczema isn't new to our family. Coconut oil is our lifesaver! Along with clean eating foods & taking the right nutritions.

My husband had severe dry skin, eczema. He have had this for years, years, even way before we started dating. He MUST have moisturizing lotion on daily basis- at home, at work, anywhere we go. Even worse, he must have it applied on his body right after swimming or showering. He would change many various of lotions, like he would used Eucerin, then switch to Aveeno, to Curel, to shea butter, to coconut oil.  

He finally found his solution - coconut oil. He no longer needs any moisturizing lotions or needing anything to apply after swimming or showering.

Our oldest daughter was born, developed with eczema. We weren't using our brains that time to research holistic approaches/practices. We had our daughter's pediatric doctor to prescribe her medication creme for her eczema. I remembered it took days, days and days for her eczema to go away. As she gets older her eczema isn't severe, again coconut oil is her moisturizing lotion.

Our two boys didn't have any eczemas as their father and oldest sister. Until our last, fourth blessing was born, she had same case as her father/my husband. We took her to our children's pediatric doctor. We were given several different medication cremes, even the last one was steroids. Nothing works. It even made worse on her. She wasn't sleeping well, skins irritating her all day. She is a HUGE water lover, loves to swim, etc. Unfortunately swimming made her skin worse, itchy and red. We wouldn't be able to give her baths regularly, she would bath once a week. I hated to see the pains and sufferings she had. I got to the point where I have had enough. I then decided to take action and RESEARCH.

We also went through new changes with our eating habits by eating healthier, eliminating food triggers and others.  Eliminating wheat, eggs and dairy from our diet helped and improved.  A while later, I researched holistic approaches/practices and immediately like what I was seeing and hearing.

I called and scheduled our first holistic doctor appointment. We were impressed with our holistic doctor, the time she spent with us for appointment and how serious she takes on her patient & explain depth throughout with you. We explained what our lifestyle is like, and what we have done. She listened carefully, taking notes then explained options for us with our daughter's eczema.

Paid our visit and the holistic medications & supplies for eczema treatment for our daughter. Pricey, yes but there's no prices on health! We were excited and put our hope and faith in that this will work.

We started our first journey with holistic approaches/practices. Our Day 1 was June 3, 2013. We did before/after and the progress of treatments we did for her eczema to Day 30 on July 3, 2013. Huge, huge difference.

All we did was castor oil treatment, multivitamins, flaxseed oil, eat clean foods (eliminated more) and using coconut oil as moisturizing lotions.

We'd like share our treatments that may benefit others. 

We brought kids' chewable vitamins that are vegan friendly, tooth friendly, no artificial sweeteners/flavors, no fructose nor sucrose. The best purchase we invested for our kids, especially our daughter with eczema. Children's chewable multivitamins was to help replete vitamins that may be deficient (especially vitamin A, vitamin E, and zinc.) We ordered bulks of them through Amazon. If you are prime member of Amazon, this is worth your investment in your children's health!

We also brought Barlean's Fresh Organic Flaxseed Oil from Whole Foods. Take 1 teaspoon daily, gradually now to 3x week. It helps to decrease inflammation. 

Our holistic doctor gave us this castor oil to decrease toxicity and inflammation, help improve liver and lymphatic system that helps for eczema (can purchase castor oil anywhere.). We put castor oil on flannel cloth then placed on right upper abdomen (over her liver), then hot pad over the oil for 10 minutes. We did it every other day, gradually cut down to once a week. Now once a month.

This is our daughter's recommendation list. We did everything except HMF Natogen as it's not vegan friendly (our holistic dr stated without it can be effective however with HMF Natogen is highly effective.)

The next couple pictures attachment you will see are foods recommendations for healthy foods and help replete vitamins that may be deficient especially vitamin A, vitamin E and zinc, and help for healthy skin & help eczema. 

This is our daughter's Day 1 and Day 30 progress. From June 3, 2013 to July 3, 2013.

As of July 16, 2014, I'm proud to say my daughter's eczema is 100% gone. We still do flaxseed oil (3x week), multivitamins, and coconut oil as moisturizing lotions. She is much HAPPIER! She's happy girl when it comes to swimming! No problems afterwards, no skin irritations or inflammations. She loves bathing and would take baths almost everyday. 

There is NO price on our healths! It's TIME to take charge and take care of your body. You can lead a healthy lifestyle.

TRANSCRIPTS below on the vlog!  Read and ENJOY!




Welcome to my FINAL journey of 21-Day Ultimate Reset!

Hello! I want to share with you all on my FINAL results on my Ultimate Reset.  I completed 3 weeks two days ago on June 12th.  Yesterday was my first day of post-reset.  I feel G-R-E-A-T!!  My energy levels still are CHAMP unbelievably high.  I feel completely so CLEAN inside.  I feel the energy boosts of doing things, getting up in the mornings high-motivated, and feeling so GREAT.  I’m so GLAD to be back on my normal, daily routines with my workouts/trainings, my eating routines – not having to follow any specific, strict meal plans.  My 3 weeks with the U.R. meal plans is finished.

I did my workout in this morning; it was CHAMP, felt good!  We are doing moderate workouts around 50%.  Since we are in our post reset, it’s highly recommended to do 50% moderate workouts after reset for 1 week.  Right now, we’re doing Insanity Core & Balance.  That workout is fine and moderate, it gives me good heart beats, it’s not like head-rush, hardcore & sweaty trainings.  No, it’s moderate, good start for us to do until we return back home from Las Vegas.  We will pick up speed and get back on intense trainings 100% finishing up Insanity.

Back to the point on my experience, I want to share with you all.  3 weeks has gone by so FAST!  It went like BOOM!  I learned so MUCH through the journey, about everything including foods, emotionally & my physical appearance.  Several of my goals that I doubt, I never thought I would achieve.  I eventually ended achieving my goals from Ultimate Reset results.  Foods… Foods are unbelievably champ and DELICIOUS!  So many vary new foods that I never ate nor like, especially with the looks.  With the patience and learning, I bear trying and eating, end up LOVING them, champ and DELICIOUS!  It had changed my perspective on foods.  I learned a lot and definitely will add those recipes with our regularly meals for the family in near future to enjoy.  Plus, very HEALTHY!

Emotions… The feelings of temptations, you will struggle with cravings since you are used to your previous eating clean routines like junks or others.  Like I mentioned in my last vlog on kids, how I clean and eat up their leftover foods, eating some extra off from their plates.  Those are one of those things that changed my perspective, change my habits and shifted me in a right path with eating clean & follow portions.  It is also a GREAT experience with temptations.  First week wasn’t too bad, 2nd and 3rd week were hard.  There are some times I would want to eat the foods I used to eat before reset.  It definitely is a learning experience about eating raw.  Yes, many raw are good foods.

Physical appearance… Most of you know that I’m a mom of 4 kids.  I have had the post pregnancy pouch, look like a kangaroo pouch hanging out for 8-9 years.  I’ve worked so hard for past 2 years with serious trainings, serious meal plans/eating clean.  I still have the pouch, it slowly changed.  I still struggled for so long.  Many people, friends and trainers would tell me be patient, have the patience, keep up with hard work.  In my mentality, I would eventually achieve that goal in a very long time, not that very soon.  Ultimate Reset proved me wrong.  My entire post pregnancy pouch truly is GONE!  Absolutely GONE!  I have no pouch, it isn’t there anymore.  I am THRILLED!  I will show you my results from Day 1 – you definitely can see the pouch right there.  On my 21st day, you wouldn’t find it and ask, “Where is it?”  I’m IMPRESSED!

My total results, I lost 7.8lbs and 6 ¾ inches.  BIG difference.  Plus, it seriously did deep detox, cleansing toxins out of my body.  I felt GREAT!  Back to my routine, eating clean and working out regularly and continue to enjoy the rest.  It is a GREAT experience.

I definitely highly recommend this to anyone! Try and experience!  It’s a LIFE-CHANGING experience.  Especially for most of you who are parents, I recommend Ultimate Reset.  If you are curious, have some questions, want to know more information, contact me! 

I want to add few things about my experience during the 3 weeks journey: tiredness, muscles soreness & tickling, burnt out, legs shaking and numb, soreness, muscle stiffness.  You would need to keep going and moving, stretching, take Epsom salt bath, or use hot tub with jets.  Keep moving and be active.  Do yoga and stretching.  No headaches.  Bearable, facing temptations and several others.

GOOD NEWS! I’m hosting a small group of 5, starting in July.  Only 5 serious and commit who are READY to reset your bodies and serious detox cleansing for 3 weeks.  Join my group, only 5.  I will be working with all 5 of you in a group.  The group will include interaction, feedback, accountability, motivations, supports, encouragements, sharing our experiences.  It is fun, good experience.  All 5 of you will go through together, understanding each other since you all will be experiencing together same time.  I already experienced, so I know how I can help and assist you better ways I can.  So, contact me soon!  Enjoy seeing my results that I’ll be posting next.

Thank you for watching my vlog!

My Ultimate Reset Journey - Week 1 (Day 1-7)

My VLOG

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngB8s6G3teo&feature=youtu.be

Hi!!!!  I want to share my experience journey with Ultimate Reset with you all.  Today, I am on Day 8.  I just finished Week 1 yesterday.  WOW, one week went by so fast and 2 more weeks left!  I am so eager and looking forward to my end results.  My overall journey so far, for 1 week, the experience is CHAMP UNBELIEVABLE!!  W-O-W!!  I feel AWESOME!  I feel GREAT!  I feel so motivated, so eager, better focus, more ALERT, more energy – I’ve never had been this so HIGH energy before.  Always on go-go-go and constantly doing something.  All the foods this week I’ve never had tried before (except for few) most of foods I’ve never tried – SO DELICIOUS!  CHAMP! It has all foods, meal plans, everything in the book.  It really is a good experience for me.  It’s unbelievable I’m done with week 1, I’m looking forward to week 2 and week 3.

What is Ultimate Reset?

It’s a 21-day detox, cleaning toxins out of your body to a new body, new person – happy and healthy.  You know, I don’t need detox if I’m eating clean and working out regularly.  No, it’s not true.  You get environment toxins.  You get toxins from the air you breathe, foods you eat, water you drink (it could be pollute water), really it’s everything in environment.  It’s everywhere!  21-day detox is NOT starvation diet.  You do eat real foods; you will follow the schedules of taking your supplements and eating foods (meal plan/diet from Ultimate Reset food plans) schedules.

Ultimate Reset has everything you need to start with your 21-day detox journey.  It comes with a book, DVDs, supplements, and few others that I will show you.  When you receive your Ultimate Reset, you will receive a package look like this.  The book has meal plans, what to expect and prepare before starting your detox journey, daily regimen and menu, recipes, ingredients, FAQs and post reset. It also comes with Quickstart Guide.  You will have a caddy – if you work, travel or bore to lose supplements in your purse or else, the caddy can hold everything you need to put in. Also, you will have Schedule Guide to follow to take your supplements during Week 1, Week 2 and Week 3.  You will also have DVDs – one to watch before you start Ultimate Reset – How to Reset your Health in 21 days.  Also you will have another DVD to learn cooking class – making easy, delicious meals, good guide if you don’t know how to cook.  You will have 6 supplements – Alkalinize, Detox, Revitalize, Optimize, Oxygenize, and Mineralize.

That’s all in one package for your Ultimate Reset journey.

Beachbody Ultimate Reset - Every Body Needs a Tune-Ups (check the video by click the link below - there is closed-captioned for Deaf and Hard of Hearing - click CC on the video)

http://beachbodycoach.com/esuite/home/ThriftX?bctid=1534876093001

Why Reset?

Our environment has become more and more toxic. Our bodies absorb pollution and harmful chemicals all our lives, along with the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. These toxins can get stored in our bodies, clogging our cells and slowing down their natural functions.

It's not enough just to work out and eat right. At Beachbody®, we realized we had to take a break from the everyday and find a way to get those toxins out of our bodies. Along with getting in shape on the outside, we had to start getting healthy on the inside. We decided it was time for a Reset. 

What is the Beachbody Ultimate Reset?

The Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a complete, three-phase, 21-day program that provides everything you need to:

• Phase 1: Balance Body Chemistry Reclaim your body's natural balance. Constant consumption of preservatives and chemical-laden foods along with exposure to toxins and pollution impair normal body processes. During Phase 1, you’ll balance your body chemistry with four of the six supplements in order to optimize its systems. This will also reduce cravings or dependencies on items such as sugar or caffeine
• Phase 2: Remove Toxins & Reset Digestion Release the harmful materials you may be storing within you. In Phase 2, you’ll be reversing the effects of poor habits, unhealthy foods, and environmental toxins. You’ll modify your diet so that your digestive system won’t have to struggle, and digestive problems you may have experienced before such as bloating and indigestion will be significantly reduced as your gastrointestinal tract is cleansed.
• Phase 3: Rejuvenate Your Health  Restore your system to its maximum health.  When you reach Phase 3, you will experience a profound positive change in your mood and energy level. During the final week, you’ll eat foods of high-nutritional value whose nutrients are easily absorbed and return healthy bacteria to your freshly scrubbed digestive tract with pre- and probiotics. This will set you on the path to long-term healthy living.

What are the benefits of the Beachbody Ultimate Reset?

In just 21 days, the Ultimate Reset can help you gently restore your body to its original factory settings," to help you:

• Have more energy and greater focus
• Experience better digestion and a more positive mood
• Enable your body to function more efficiently
• Lose weight
• Improve your overall health

What the Beachbody Ultimate Reset is NOT:

• A starvation diet. (You'll eat three filling, healthy meals every day.)
• An abrupt cleanse that's hard on the body. (The supplements work together gradually to gently shift your body's internal settings.)
• A laxative-based, colon-focused cleanse, which fails to truly detoxify the whole body. (You won't be running to the bathroom every hour!)

What's included in the Beachbody Ultimate Reset?

• Alkalinize – Helps maintain alkalinity.
• Oxygenize – Helps provide supplemental oxygen to the body.

How is the Beachbody Ultimate Reset different from other cleanse programs?

• The Ultimate Reset isn't a crash diet or a synthetic meal replacement.
• It's an integrated, whole-body reset solution—a step-by-step program that lets you have real food, provides specially formulated supplements, and teaches you conscious living techniques that work to detoxify and restore your body.
• You'll not only help return your metabolism to optimal function, but you'll learn conscious self-care behaviors that can help you maintain better health, even after your Reset.

Is the Ultimate Reset For YOU ????

5 Signs Your Body is Toxic....Some GREAT information!!!!

Do you sleep 8 hours but wake up groggy? Are you perpetually grumpy? Do you crave sugar? Are you gaining weight even though you’re exercising regularly? Is your cholesterol through the roof even though you think you’re eating right?

If this sounds a typical day for you, your body may be overloaded with toxins. Toxins that are causing you to gain weight, feel fatigued, and crave all the wrong foods. How did this happen?

1. You have a hard time losing weight.
Possible Cause: In modern society, toxic chemicals are everywhere. They’re in the processed food you eat, the plastics you handle, the cigarette smoke you breathe in, and more. Some of these pollutants may trigger disruptions in the body’s endocrine system and this can cause you to gain weight.

Solutions: The harsh truth is that ridding your world of all toxic chemicals and pollutants is nearly impossible. But, you do have some control. Choose to eat more whole foods. Package and reheat your foods in glass instead of plastic. Stop smoking. These solutions do require some effort, but once you start to see the numbers on the scale go down, you’ll feel rewarded for it.

2. You’re always tired.
Possible Causes: Toxic chemicals in the environment and in the foods you eat could be the culprits here too. If you’ve been feeling severe fatigue for more than six months, you could have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Other symptoms may include forgetfulness, joint pain, irritability, depression, and achy muscles. Another possible cause for your exhaustion could be mercury poisoning if you eat a lot of fish or shellfish or have mercury fillings in your teeth.

Solutions: Once again, you’re not going to be able to avoid all toxic chemicals, but you can stop smoking, choose glass and other products over plastic, and eat less processed food. If, your doctor determines that you have mercury poisoning, steer clear of fish and shellfish for some time and have any mercury filings replaced with a non-toxic alternative.

3. Your cholesterol is too high.
Possible Causes: If you are overweight or obese, your weight is one cause for your high cholesterol. Obesity can decrease your HDL (good cholesterol) numbers and increase your triglyceride numbers. Triglycerides are particularly dangerous as they can increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. If you are in good shape, your high cholesterol may be due to certain medications such as beta-blockers, estrogen, and corticosteroids.

Solutions: To put it simply: lose weight. If that’s not an issue but you can’t ditch the medications that are causing your elevated cholesterol levels, eat foods–such as oatmeal, fish high in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon and halibut, nuts, and olive oil–that can help you in your battle against those numbers.

4. You crave coffee, sugar, or junk food.
Possible Causes: The foods themselves. When you eat caffeine, sugar, and other unhealthy foods, they often cause your serotonin and/or your sugar levels to spike…and then sink to lower than they were before you ingested that food. Talk about creating an unhealthy cycle!

Solution: Kick your junk food habits. Expect a withdrawal period during which you’ll be cranky, have headaches, and feel fatigued, but this will likely subside within a day or a few days.

5. You’re grumpy.
Possible Causes: Likely, your irritability is caused by a combination of the environmental and food toxins that might be causing your other issues as studies have revealed that chronic exposure to low levels of environmental toxins can lead to depression, anxiety, and mood swings.

Solution: The best way to feel better is to eat better, lose weight, exercise (it boosts the serotonin levels in your brain that help keep you happy), and make smarter decisions when it comes to what chemicals your exposure yourself to.

Admittedly, making major changes to your lifestyle is difficult. But, we also want you to feel healthier and happier. That’s why we recently launched the Beachbody Ultimate Reset. It’s a 21-day program that will help you curb your cravings, lower your cholesterol, feel more well rested, and more. Isn’t it time to stop feeling toxic and start feeling better?
