Alex- Shares Her 5 Week Eczema Update!

A little backstory. This part could be 1000 pages long but I’ll try and keep it short.

I have had extreme eczema for about 5 years. In total 9 years but the extreme part probably 5 grouped together. It literally came out of nowhere when I was 18. I had never had it as a child but as a child I ate terribly. 

I recall eating frozen ravioli, mac and cheese, sugary cereals, etc. So from a very early age I was set up for failure. On top of that I was a C section twin, not breastfed. 

When I turned 14 I went to a nutritionist because I was having constipation issues. 

The nutritionist said to cut dairy and meat and actually “just follow a vegan diet for 3 months”. So I start to do this and I was like “wow…there is dairy in everything” in my cereal, in my bread, in my snacks, etc. 

I start researching and get into a more healthy lifestyle. This handles my constipation for the time being and I adapt this healthier lifestyle. Overtime I learn more, about gluten, about grains, sugar. So by the time I’m 18 I’m gluten free dairy free and mostly sugar free. 

But then the rashes start. 

When they first started I thought I was going to die. I thought my body was going to rot from the outside in. My entire body just wet, oozing puss. There was a point where I would only get up to take a shower. The shower hurt so bad it felt like a million shards of glass were being thrown at me while going 100mph. 

When I talk about extreme eczema this is what I’m talking about. 

Extreme eczema is waking up with your body stuck to your sheets due to puss. Extreme eczema is not being able to bend your limbs or get dressed. So many days where I would dread waking up because I would have to walk 10 steps to get straight into my bleach bath. Going to the dermatologist every single day.

Anyways, after a few years of this I’m like…WTF do I do..I’m going to have to take drugs, I clearly can’t heal this naturally?? 

I have tried AIP, paleo, carnivore, keto diets and have tried thousands of supplements. I have tried UVBig therapy, stem cell therapy, allergy testing, acupuncture, I’ve done every test I can do. But everything comes back perfect?? 

I decide to go the pharmaceutical route and use steroids, topically and orally. Only to find out about a year later that they aren’t safe and now I’m addicted to them. Now I can not get off of these steroids. Not to mention even the strongest ones aren’t working for me anymore? What is happening??? 

Now I’m screwed. I can’t even go to work and I am literally miserable. I’m suicidal. I’ve never been in so much pain in my life. I actually can’t imagine a worse pain than this. 

I try biologics. I try Dupixent only to get a horrible fungal reaction after 4 doses. 

I try Taltz. 

I try Cosentyx. 

None of those worked so for about a year I literally just survived. I just dealt with it. Every single day I would wake up and cry. And then in 4 hours , cry again. 

But then one day I was on Instagram, I follow a girl named Juli (@Paleomg) and I saw her post something about it and how it cured her acne. 

I thought it was interesting so I bought the course. As I was reading the course I was blown away. Everything in the course made perfect sense. Right before the TBP the nutritionist I was working with literally had me on the highest fat diet and taking bile!!!! The Everyone had always put me on a grain free and high fat diet. High fat because “dry skin”. No wonder I was so messed up. I was probably sleeping 3 hours a night for 7 months. 

All of my toxins were just circulating within me. By week 3 of TBP I could see incredible results. I was shocked. I’m on week 5 now. I followed (and still do) strictly. I am 95% less itchy. Now if I do flare, it’s minor and I don’t even notice it until afterwards. I still have a lot of healing to do but WOW I will never be able to express my gratitude enough to Unique!!
