As long as I have dealt with my son’s eczema I have heard many myths about this disorder that it was time to help you learn the truth.
The first myth is children outgrow eczema. We are made up of energy and one thing I know for sure is that energy cannot be destroyed it can only change form. So when someone says to me their child just outgrew the eczema I then ask if their child have seasonal allergies. Most often they say hayfever or severe allergies to the environment. Some even say that their child went from eczema to asthma. Makes you wonder if the parents did nothing to help their child’s eczema and their child outgrew the eczema then maybe the energy form changed from eczema into something worst (i.e. hayfever, severe allergies, asthma). Maybe you should do something more about it before it does. Your child does not have to suffer in this way.
The second myth is if your child still have eczema beyond age 2 then he/she will have it all his/her life. My son had eczema until he was 4 years of age. He is currently eczema free. When you understand what eczema is and what your child’s body is communicating via his/her skin you can stop the eczema no matter what age your child is.
The third myth is focusing only on the skin can stop the eczema. This is probably the biggest myth I have come across. Our skin is a double sided organ that reflects what our body is experiencing from the inside. It makes sense to figure out what is going on inside the body to stop the eczema yet support the damaged skin with the proper skin care products.
As a parent you are the sole care giver of your child and the only person that knows your child better then you is your child him/herself. Find support from those who truly wants to team up with you to stop your child’s eczema.

Google the word Ganoderma, and put what ever illness you want after it. Then see what pops up. For example: Ganoderma,Exzema

Sadly, no matter waht we do we can’t seem to heal my daughter’s eczema. Interesting article though. We have been dealing with her eczema for almost 6 years now. She began to first break out when she was merely one month old. She now also has asthma. I am not so sure about the energy thing stated in your article. Most of the time eczema is caused by an allergy and 50% of children with eczema develop asthma. We have done nothing but try to treat and cure my daughter. Eczema has no cure and yes some children do outgrow it and never have problems with it later. Others are not so lucky.

Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for sharing. My son did not outgrow eczema it is completely gone because I refused to give up and believe there was no cure. I went the holistic route and sought out help from more knowledgeable people who knew exactly how to help my son. My son’s liver and colon were his main issues that caused his skin to take up the slack. We got his liver and colon working and then we were able to work on his digestion. Namely all the foods he was reacting to as well as environmental allergies.
My suggestion is to start with hydration. Asthma is directly related to dehydration. But the water you want to use is one with a pH of 7.0 or higher such as Mountain Valley Spring Water.
When you sign up for my free newsletter you get more information on other areas that are possible causes plus techniques for caring for her skin.
Thanks again for sharing and let me know how I can help you and your child stop the eczema.
