Hi Jennifer-

Its good to hear that your child is doing better. We did homeopathy, but not through the forum, through a local doctor. He gave Max a remedy very specific to Max's condition, arsenicum (or something like that). But the forum I posted in the thread from Josie has some people who give great advice. Post your situation and see who replies. I think Josie had great luch following someone's advice there....

For Max, its very hard to know exactly what is working, the homeopathy, the sunlight, the clean diet, the BRT treatments from our natural doc, the breastfeeding... or all of the above. and, there is one more thing... and I really don't expect you to jump at this one, but, I would ask that you keep an open mind... urine therapy. very powerful for us. it was very surprising for me. I don't like to publicize it, but don't feel its very honest to keep it a secret either from other people who really are looking for information.

My daughter scratches when she sweats, too. I know that there different kinds of eczema (ie, dry, oozing, etc) and that different kinds are treated with different remedies.

My daughter was on Sulphur. She's taken a few doses over the course of the last few months. She also took something called Calcarea carbonica, but that was very recently.

I think if you want to try homeopathy, you've got to try to find a good classically trained Homeopath in your area.

John Stanton, on that other board, took our case and helped me entirely through email. I took a huge chance, taking advice like that, but it worked out perfectly and he took a lot of time to understand my daughter's case before he suggested a remedy. Some days we emailed back and forth 20 times. It was very time consuming.

But, as you read, my daughter's eczema is gone, so the chance I took paid off well.

Let me know if you want or need any other information.

I'm so glad to hear that your daughter is doing so much better, too. I wanted to follow Donia's advice, but the supplements she suggested contained corn and that's the only thing that we're trying to continue to avoid for my daughter. I'm glad it's worked out for you, though. :)
