When I was a child, people used to comment on my skin, because it was flawless. None of the children in my family had skin problems. People in the 1930s, 40s and 50s did not know how blessed they were not to have money. There weren't drugstores on every corner selling products. We had no money for products and not even money for much food. it was a blessing, because my parents knew nothing about nutrition. We were skinny, but we were five healthy children.. It is amazing, four of us are still here. The only one who is gone...took the vax!

Yes, correct.

Wealth often does not equate with health - it often leads to temptation to indulge in things like perfumes, cosmetics, alcohol, super tasty food, etc.

The habit of eating soup is in swift decline.

I'm sorry for the sibling that isn't with us anymore.

So how to do it differently? Most, and I mean from my experience, - 99% of dermatologists are a waste of money except for skin checks for cancer which a friend could do. As soon as you introduce gut or hormones or immune system- they say not my area.

I have been to many dermatologists in the past. They are ignorant mindless bots, very dangerous. I developed a small melanoma lesion and the dermatologist at the time urged me to use chemical sunscreen every day forever. That was her only suggestion. I showed her info on sun avoidance INCREASING melanoma risk, and she was too stupid and too afraid to engage with this.

one more comment about dermatologists. .right.. I went to see one years ago. about that small sebaceous cyst it was on my chest area.. and he said "Oh you don't surgery.. and showed me a HUGE Cyst on the side of his face.. I MEAN IT WAS the size of nickel and big.. about then is when I heard about Dr Pimple Popper.. (ROFL) who actually told me more than I wanted to know .. about Cysts. versus. .pimples.. I am grateful that I have had good skin.. :)

My partner had a stage o melanoma excised and the surgeon recommended him to use Vasoline on the excision site and then a bandage. I was appalled, and asked him why would he recommend a petroleum byproduct vs something like organic coconut oil. The look on the doc's face told me everything. He then added a store to buy sun-blocking clothing that my partner would be required to wear for the remainder of his life of absolutely no sun exposure. (literally impossible living in southern Arizona). Fortunately I read several articles on the cause of melanoma being lack of sunlight and we walk our dog daily between 10-2 for 1 hour a day. We now live in northern AZ and it is easily 25-30 degrees cooler here. Our vit D levels are great without using sups. I need to do some research on sun tanning booths and see if we can use that in the winter here as our area is a 4 season area. We still walk daily in the winter but with considerably more clothing.

And then they prescribe you red or pink pills - the dye in the pills causes you to get an allergic reaction! I agree with LoIs - just like pediatricians, dermatologists are useless eaters. Teach house doctors properly again, have them go to the house again, let them look how families live and eat, and most illnesses will be healed instead of eternally treated.

PS thanks to your articles my dog who had a severe skin problem is almost healed up. The vet gave anti-itch meds and we gave her Echinacea, Collustrum and several other herbs and supplements. Her fur, just as the book says, after 2 1/2 months is shiny again and I brush her every morning, with only the normal hair loss! To think that 3 months ago she had bare spots the size of an egg. THank you thank you thank you!

Another brilliant in depth article from Unbekoming. I have some sun damage on my forehead. Had it years. Caused by playing football in very sunny conditions. Just very small patches of dry skin. They can go red and become a bit unsightly. The doctor gave me a cream which basically burns them off slowly for new skin to grow. Should I try it? I’m 63 and on no meds. Or see if it resolves naturally.

I found https://www.calciumtherapy.com/ and use their calcium skin "lotion"...also the tallow cream that I make with calcium carbinate added...

Look up the side effects of the ingredients. Then decide.

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

I ordered Jewelweed salve for my dog and that seems to have done very well. If you use the doc's prescription make sure you know what the ingredients do. Since I worked in a lab that made basics for beauty products I always carry a magnifying glass to read ingredients of shampoos. That is about the only chemical I still use.

As usual, the modern stone age medical mafia is 100% backwards. That means you must go in the opposite direction and forget about the fools.

Many thanks. It is so obvious really.

Tell it to a sixty year old.

Good discussion. Light therapy was used prior to antibiotics to treat skin conditions. Totally ignored today. Correct? Vietnam veterans who were injected with experimental vaccines and subject to toxic chemicals in Vietnam including agent orange struggle to this day with skin eruptions.

Ray Horvath, "The Source" :)'s avatar

As all "vaccines" are exclusively toxins, I wonder what those experiments were all about. Well, probably "only" parts of the long-term sickening project, but who knows what else?

Ok the timing on this is crazy so I have to post it. I just read this article this morning before work, I’m a medical massage therapist in a chiro office.

My 2nd client comes in, I start working on her and notice that her back looks irritated, but that can happen. Marks from scratching, bra strap, etc. As I went on it got worse, blotchy all over and looks like a systemic allergic reaction. Note that I’ve massaged this woman for at least 7 years, this has never happened, and we’ve always used the same lotion.

So I told her that her back looked irritated today and asked her how it felt. She said everything has been bothering her skin lately, clothing tags, bra straps, etc. It’s been going on for a year or so but it’s intermittent.

I asked her if she’d tracked her food, maybe something she was eating was causing it, she said she’s done that. Eventually we talk about her meds. She’s 65 and on blood pressure meds, Accutane (?!), and tirzepatide, and has been using steroid cream ‘and it feels better right away’ when she uses it.

I gently suggested that the medications might be too much for her system, since it was a systemic reaction but she told me how she’s been tested for food allergies, autoimmune, etc and everything came back negative.

Anyway, I ended the massage after 15 minutes and suggested that she see a doctor. But how weird is that when I JUST read this article? Thank you for the perfect timing.

Judy'sfavoriteDr.'s avatar

perhaps skipping the doc and letting it run it's course would be best-no pain no gain-could be the her meds, accutane or tirzepatide or all of them...you may want to send her this article

Valerie's avatar

She’s one of those who will do anything her doctor says, and she thinks she’s covered all the bases already. I would love to make some other suggestions but it’s outside my scope as a massage therapist.

Beth C Coddiwompler's avatar

Love it when synchronicity happens like this. It happens to me a lot.

You might suggest the bentonite clay remedy in my other comment here. For a large rash, it can be applied thinly.

Valerie's avatar

Great idea! This one would never do it, though, she’s prescriptions only. 🙄

Andrew N's avatar

Blood pressure tablets, side-effects listed are itching, rash and hives another case of one medication causing another "disease" that needs more medical intervention.

Judy'sfavoriteDr.'s avatar

proof the blood pressure pills are the culprit in plain site-once you see it, you can't unsee it and you get to be a pro at it and it does not take long!!! been a pro for a long time now lol

Thank you again, UNBEKOMING, for this amazing article, which I have forwarded to my brother, who suffers from a lack of knowledge, and psoriasis/eczema. He still believes eczema is a moisture deficiency issue. He took one Covid jab on his wife's insistence, and aged 10 years, overnight. He tends to trust me. I hope to convert him to terrain theory, and educate him on the reality of "vaccines" and that fraudulent enterprise. He is well underway on the path to the truth of everything. Although he smokes cigarettes, drinks alcohol, and works in dusty, toxic conditions often (in the construction industry), with multiple exposures daily to dangerous chemicals, perhaps he can be saved. Thanks for helping out. God bless you.

Honest question: what about mineral sunblock to prevent burning? I don’t consume seed oils but I burn in intense UV light without sunblock.

Mog's avatar

You must be eating too much sugar/carbohydrates. You are caramelizing in the sun.

Use your common sense.

I get that and will continue to wear the sunblock, it’s that there’s that paradox I’m curious about of getting sun exposure but I wouldn’t stay outside for a long time without applying sunblock.

STH's avatar

I compromise. I golf 2-3/week April-Oct. I always wear a hat and two golf gloves. Mineral sunblock on my nose, back of my neck and ears. SPF 50 shirt for my arms and chest. Nothing but aloe Vera lotion on my legs.

For that matter, dermatologists are the laughing stocks among "doctors."

"Treating" the symptoms is pretty universal in "Madicine." (sic!) Diagnostics is a disaster:

https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/how-do-you-know-you-are-sick-or-how

Dermatology is a result of mil-tech-level compartmentalization, in which the human body is cut up into parts like a cow in a butcher's shop:

Now Dupixent has many other indications besides eczema - asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, eosinophilic esophagitis, prurigo nodularis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Perhaps more in the future. So many customers...cha ching!

Unbekoming, when are you going to publish a handbook on Borax?

vague life-form's avatar

I think that title for the article is a rather misleading example of clickbait. It implies that the dermatologist was trained or taught to not say these 12 things. It’s as if the dermatologist went to class and said one of these 12 things and the professor said “Bad dermatologist shame on you. You don’t say these 12 things.“ A better title might be, “12 things your dermatologist was not taught and does not know to recognize.” However, I’m sure that title would get fewer clicks.

Bigodog's avatar

Please, in the first paragraph Unbekoming states explicitly that this is how your doc was trained and also that is what is profitable. She doesn't blame your dermatologist. And by the way most docs are in it for the money with absolutely NO curiosity about the root cause. A cured patient doesn't return. A natural remedy doesn't pay to keep the lights on.

If you can't handle sunshine, increase your natural vitamin A intake through liver -- beef liver with onions & bacon if you eat bacon, is delicious!, likewise chicken liver pate with butter, mushrooms & onion, or lots of grass-fed butter and cream, maybe a bit of cod liver oil regularly. The so-called vit A in vegetables in merely the precursor, and the body doesn't use that efficiently if at all. IOW b-carotene is not the same as vit A. (If you think you don't like liver, just hide it in meat loaf or casseroles in small but increasing amounts.) Having adequate vit A (the fat soluble, usable form) lets the body metabolize as the Designer/Creator intended, so you'll be less likely to burn. Also, (doh!) start with shorter exposure times, increase gradually. Your whole body - even in areas you might have overlooked -- will thank you for it.
