excema cure

134 replies

roneef · 24/05/2009 22:46

My daughter had really bad excema from about 4 months to 1 - 1.5 years. It disappeared overnight with this treatment.

We were in utter despair, for ourselves,
(no sleep, anxiety, peoples awful comments)and the poor babys suffering. We tried lots of things, as you do.

Miracle cure worked within a week. Basically you get curry leaves. You can get them from any asian grocery shop. They came in a big plastic packet. Boil a good handful in a big pot. Let it cool.

After bathing your child. Stand them up and from a clean bucket poor this liquid over them. It should be the last thing your child is rinsed in.

Dry them thoroughly and apply usual moisturiser. I used aveeno.

This worked in a week. He had perfect skin. The person who told me had a little boy with the WORST excema . He is a totally different boy, really beautiful skin.

Recently I heard its an ancient ayurvedic cure. All I know is it helped us and several other people.

I really hope this helps others with excema. Would love to know if it works for anyone else.

Good for you Roneef. Have mum of the year award.

I claimed it for my DD too. She was dying of cancer. It was fucking great. Double whammy, loads of money.

Please don't drag up things I know nothing of.

I could play the victim card too.

Stick to the point.

But surely, dear, it was you who wrote:
'Nightcats DLA theories are seeming increasingly, depressingly realistic'

You really are a charmer, aren't you?!

You are beneath contempt. How dare you accuse someone who is grieving for her child of playing the victim card. Unbelievable.

twinmam · 10/06/2009 20:31

You said that nightcat accused people of not trying to help their children so they could claim DLA.

You said that nightcat's theories are realistic.

Do I need to spell it out even further?

To be honest, keep on with the DLA accusations. They are at least far, far less offensive than your crass disgusting comments to Chegirl.

trellism · 10/06/2009 20:33

I had severe eczema as a child. I still do. Unfortunately some kids don't grow out of it, but a lot do, hence the popularity of crackpot remedies for it - a lot of them appear to work.

The kid I'm having (20+5) will probably have it too. I lived through it and he/she will probably survive. I understand it's distressing though. Do people still try and put mittens on children's hands to stop them scratching?

I have a gung-ho attitude to my eczema. We have reached an agreement over the years: I keep my nails short and it won't spread to my face. So far we've mostly kept to our respective bargains.

chegirl · 10/06/2009 20:33

Oh please. You are genuinely sorry for my loss but accuse me of playing the victim. I am not a victim and nor was my DD.

The point is, however busy you think you were caring for your itchy child, it was nothing like as busy I was caring for my terminally ill one. Yet I still managed to fill in a form.

Maybe your child's eczema was not severe enough to warrent DLA anyway. Or maybe you have enough money to not bother.

Either way, good for you.

Twinman, thankyou but I would step away if I were you. She is simply not worth the words.

littlelamb · 10/06/2009 20:37

ffs roneef
I'm beginning to think you're a regular who is namechanging to cause trouble. You're not around for a good old stretch but always seem to be back on this thread to answer any doubters
You sound a real charmer

BlueBumedFly · 10/06/2009 20:41

Chegirl, I am really sorry for your loss and sorry that it has been aired in such a dreadful upsetting manner in this thread. I feel very bad that this thread is so hideous and you were accused of playing the victim card. NO stupid argument on MN is worthy of bringing someone's personal life into a matter of flippancy no matter what your opinion.

chegirl · 10/06/2009 20:41

trellism gave up on mittens years ago. DS has got special all - in - ones but he bit through the hands! £36 a pair well spent then .

We find yelling at him STOP BLOODY SCRATCHING works really well though

Ok ok only joking!

chegirl · 10/06/2009 20:44

BlueBum thank you for your support. Roneef's comments are so crass they only serve to show her for what she is.

Unfit to lick my DD's boots.

SarahL2 · 10/06/2009 20:48

I'm sure I've seen Roneef posting before and I'm sure whatever she posts, it's always hideously offensive to someone... She's either a troll or just a deeply horrible person.

Ignore her Chegirl She's not worth the effort and certainly not worth even knowing about your beautiful daughter.

BlueBumedFly · 10/06/2009 20:48

Chergirl - you are most welcome. I am horrified that someone who has a child themselves could stoop so low to win an argument to make such a disgusting comment.

I very much hope your DS gets some relief from his itching soon.

Excuse me.

This is what I detest about mumsnet.

Please quote where I have mentioned chegirls daughter or anyone else in her family.

I was saying I honestly didn't know you could get DLA for excema.

she dragged her dd into it. Ofcourse she got DLA for terminal illness.

I challenge anyone to prove otherwise.

I did mention 'victim' and also apologised if I sounded off.

All I meant was stick to the point. Excema/Dla.

Not relevant, but I have also lost a baby to meningitis.

10 mths old.

As I said, devastating for me but irrelevant to the issue.

'Please don't drag up things I know nothing of.

Hmmm. Very sorry for your loss as well but you cannot fling the words 'victim card' around when someone mentions the loss of a child and not expect to get flamed.

Why not? I didn't insult anyone. I just said 'stop'.

Even apologised if I was abrupt.

No one sees that, do they?

I am not a troll btw. I post quite regularly now.

Chegirl has a chip on her shoulder anyway. She isn't fit to lick my sons boots.

This is totally irrelevant but I have to say it because of the way this post is going. I logged onto mumsnet last year, had a couple of problems with ds and moaned my head off, sometimes for hours and not one person attacked or criticised me or anyone that gave me good honest advice (even if i didn't agree with it. I guess what i am trying to say is we are all entitled to our opinion wether it is right or wrong in others eyes. Lets all be there for each other. You guys certainly kept me sane when i needed it.

Good point maidenvoyage.

Someone will come along and pick holes in your statement, typos and generally misquote.

Maybe accuse you of being a troll!!!
