Our story
When my son was a few weeks old I got mastitis. I tried to kick it naturally but ended up on an antibiotic. A couple months later I got mastitis again, and had another round of antibiotics. When my son was 4 months old he started to get a rash on his back and over the next month it continued to spread over his entire body. I tried every cream, switching laundry detergent, putting breast milk on it.. nothing was helping. I took him to a dermatologist who told me nothing caused it and that he’d have eczema the rest of his life! He told me to use a steroid cream. I refused to believe this was our only option. I began to heal his gut, reduce inflammation in his body and provide his body with vitamins and minerals… 8 weeks later his eczema was 95% gone and has never came back. I wrote out the things I used and my top recommendations from what i have seen with my own eyes heal my babies body. This is a mamas perspective, not medical advice.
1. History
I began going through my son’s history - what has he been exposed to? What have your kids (or you) been exposed to that could have negatively affected their body and had side effects. My son was exposed to multiple rounds of antibiotics through my breast milk and a few months later his eczema started, read more here. Research anything and everything that your child has had in their body. Vaccines can also have links to eczema - more info here. Think through their history!
2. Food
Processed food & sugar cause harmful inflammation in the body and overproduction of bad bacteria which damages the gut lining and can cause eczema. I eliminated all processed foods like dairy, sugar and grains from my sons diet to see if it would help. I whole heartedly believe food is the FIRST healer. We could use all the supplements and lotions in the world, but if the diet is not mainly Whole Foods, nothing else will matter. Food heals the body.
Supplements to help the body heal
3. Acemannan
Acemannan is an extract of an aloe vera plant and is incredibly healing to the body. It helps nourish good gut bacteria, can help heal intestinal lining, enhances immune cell response to viruses, bacteria and aberrant cells. There a lot of links between a faulty immune system and eczema, this supplement helps to balance the immune system. It enhances the production of glutathione (body's own antioxidant) by 50% which can help reduce inflammation and it helps to Increase stem cell inflammatory responses.

4. Betalains
Hyper-infl ammatory damage is the root cause of almost every type of adverse health condition. Most beet root extracts contain non-standardized levels of betalains and up to 70% (pro-inflammatory) sugar. Limitless utilizes a patented extract that removes 100% of the sugar and standardizes efficacious levels of these powerful betalains. Purified betalains have been clinically shown to reduce the biomarkers of infl ammation by 47% and improve the feeling of energy more than 120%.
I gave my 10 month old 1/2 a capsule a day.

6. Get rid of toxins
Our environment is ridden with toxins that lead to skin issues and lots of other medical problems. As much as you can, look at ingredients on everything that touches your babies body or that they are exposed to… soap, laundry soap, lotions, air fresheners. Make sure these products are non toxic.
