I used to get eczema. I use vitamin D to get rid of it. A lot of black people are vitamin D deficient b/c our skin is designed for life near the equator in Africa.

Eczema first started being a problem when I moved to a city that didn't get a lot of sun (and I used to live in Cali). So I take 5,000 IU everyday and the eczema went away. Other benefits I notice are that my strength increased and I got fewer colds. I think there is a book that talks about how many black health issues can be linked to vitamin d deficiency.

Holy shyt dude or lady I never thought or heard about that before. I'm out here gettin torched by the sun after 1 hr of being outside. I got that nice prebase tan goin on so I'm glowin pretty fukkin golden at the minute.

I always preached drinkin a shyt load of water each day. An uncomfortable amount even. The benefits of being hydrated are sooooo huge that I carry around a 1.5 liter bottle around with me and fill it up on the reg. passing clean as fukkin, sweatin toxins on the reg, haven't had a dry shyt in about two years.

Smoke weed for the brain and spirit and don't eat red meat daily. I ain't no vegetarian but I think moderation plays a large role in being generally healthy. Vary fruits, vary veggies, vary meats...keep head fakin that stomach so it produces enough bacteria to break down anything u throw at it efficiently.

Obviously exercise and try not to eat shyt that comes in a box or plastic wrapper too often.

Furthermore, homies don't fukkin stretch enough. I'm not sayin go full lotus pose but when u get up in the morning. Take ten minutes to limber up and get the blood flowin.

Aloe Vera........ Not the commercial kind.. I mean the actual plant/stalk... Any Mexican or possibly Asian grocery store will sell them.. Hell Whole Foods even sells them now...

You gotta cut off the edges to get to the gel/sap.... Blend the gel up in a smoothie or something... Its good for your blood and digestive system. Rub the leaves on areas where your skin has issues....

we have one in our back yard area of the jects,so if we can do it ya'll can..thy read somewhere that they're actually fairly easy to grow because they're an invasive species or some shyt..

aloe clears/clarifies your aura/bio-magnetic fields too,and if you have a bad burn/cut aloe will clear it up faster..thy just cut the gel out and dump it in thy lemon water too

I live in Northern VA too! Summer is going to cook this year. I'm not ready for 89 degree at 11PM sticky heat we be getting:whew:. Even though it is sunny here I still don't get a lot of sun. I get in my car that's in the garage and drive to work where I park in the garage and eat lunch in the bldg.
I'm in the 757 so I'm not in northern va but lawd i hate this heat. I remember when my cousins from Vegas would come down complaining about "va heat" cause it was diff from their dry heat

:banderas: I am a believer

Blood pressure was 154/95 in Aug 2012

Doc: :shaq: got a scrip for ya.
Me: :whoa: I'll do some research on some natural remedies and come back. I don't like drugs unless absolutely necessary
Doc: :mjlol:
Me: :dwillhuh:

Left out and researched...found apple cider vinegar. Brehs and brehettes this shyt is the cure for everything So I took 2 teaspoons straight (no diluting) at night, every night for 3 weeks without changing my diet. Walked into the grocery store in Sept to check my pressure at the little machine and thought it was broken.

:ohhh: 122/83, no way

Called up the Doc for a follow up. Sept. appointment, my pressure was 179/81. I ended up changing my diet because I never got used to taking the ACV. Shyt is powerful when you take it straight.

i have had eczema since i was like 6 and i'm 23 now, everyone is right when they say it's internal. If you have a skin issue, that means your blood and/or liver needs to be cleansed.

Do you have an herbal shop near you? If so, you need to go get some burdock root, yellow dock root, dandelion root and sarsaparilla. Put a tablespoon of each into the same saucepan, put 2 bottles of water in there, bring it to a boil then cut off the heat and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then drink that tea blend (don't drink the herbs lol) You can re-add water and boil the herbs 2 more times to make more tea. I drink 2-3 cups of this a day and i swear, it got rid of my eczema in 3 days, plus overall cleared my skin up too. Did better than any cream the doctor gave me. My herbal shop sells this already mixed together, but you can buy them separately and mix. them yourself. but i usually mix it with this liver cleanse tea that has oregon grape root, burdock root, and dandelion. Or just ask them for a blood purifier tea.

Other than that, like someone said change your diet. Cutting out dairy would get rid of it as well.

:ohhh: are you serious?


tree tea oil and cocoa butter mixed in or castor oil has been working on mine, even the antibiotic I was prescribed didn't work really do anything for it which is on my left foot.

I use it sparingly because iit's so greasy but it works after I exfoliate

thy used to take ACV daily/every other day,need to get back on the grind with that shyt cause it cleans you out&gives you energy(gotta buy the real shyt dough,like Bragg,not that Heinz or generic bullshyt)and its also good for your skin as well..
