For the past couple of weeks, Kay is experiencing red patches on her face, neck and arm areas. And she is feeling very itchy from time to time. We thinks she might have something called seborrheic dermatitis (one of those big-words). Following the recovery from Christmas flu, she had chocolate every day to “recoup the lost pleasure” from the sickness. It looks like excessive white sugar might be the culprit.
Since we read the Nourishing Traditions, we have cut down on white flour and white sugar. And we found that we are now quite “sensitive” to the processed food, commercial bakery product or restaurant menu: we don’t feel right after we eat them. It is like the body is trying to “repel” those chemicals, preservaties and artifical ingridients in the food.
Kay has been applying solutions onto the skin containing comfrey and yarrow. She drinks herbal tea of burdock, alfalfa, yarrow and chamomile. She is also taking garlic to boost immune system. I have to tie her sleeves before sleep so that she would not scratch the skin during dreams. She has to wear gloves as well. It is just tough.
Please pray for her and ask the Lord for healing.
