    Skin Rescue

The good news for many suffers of chronic skin disorders is that complete diet revision will often improve and sometimes resolve skin disorders.

The three management strategies are

  1. Food Holiday with Alpha ENF

  2. Complete, Comprehensive Diet Revision

  3. Supportive skin hygiene, protection and optional medications
     

The Solution - Diet Revision and Alpha ENF

In severe  skin disease remission of the disease may be achieved by taking a  food holiday on  Alpha ENF.  For example, Villaveces and Heiner reported remission of symptoms in six patients with severe atopic dermatitis by replacing food with an elemental nutrient formula for at least a week and then reintroducing foods to determine reactivity.
Ratner et al reported similar success in 16 children and 14 adults with moderate to severe eczema. Sixty percent achieved significant remission after 3-12 days on an elemental nutrient formula. They noted that half the food challenge reactions were immediate and the other half delayed.

The Skin  Rescue Starter Pack includes

One Alpha Nutrition Program

The book,  Skin in Health and Disease 

One 500 gram of Alpha ENF

The 500 gram jar of Alpha ENF represents 10 servings ( about one meal of nutrient value per serving). Alpha ENF is included so that you can try it and decide if you want to use the formula on a daily basis. If yes, you order a larger quantity.

We recommend complete diet revision to people with

Moderate to severe eczema

Persistent or recurrent hives of more than 4 weeks duration

All skin disorders associated with digestive disorders.

All skin disorders associate with inflammatory arthritis

All skin disorders associated chronic ill-defined illnesses.

Dermatitis Herpetiformis

Moderate to Severe Psoriasis

In moderate to severe eczema and  chronic hives (urticaria)  multiple food factors are involved and there is no reliable test to identify them. Diet revision is both diagnostic and therapeutic.  To solve a severe skin problem, consider doing diet revision using the Alpha Nutrition Program with the option of supportive medication for the first few weeks of recovery.

The proper evaluation of the role of food as the antigen source may require a food holiday on an elemental nutrient formula. If the skin triggers were in the food supply, the skin inflammation should diminish. Slow food reintroduction is then required to screen returning foods for skin activity.

The Decision to do Diet Revision In Children

The decision to modify the child's diet is made when eczema is moderate to severe, especially when there are other problems suggesting food allergy.  With more severe, prolonged or complicated eczema,  skin tests are never adequate to determine a new diet for the child and complete diet revision must be carried out. Follow the Alpha Nutrition Program. Often, a retreat to phase 1 foods is adequate to improve the skin condition, although 2 to 3 weeks is required for healing to occur.
