I went to the doctor a week ago about my lips, they started out chapped. Then they became ichy and swollen. This went on for about three weeks. The third week they were wrinkled and swollen. The doctor said I had excema on them!! I've had excema on and off on my hands for about 10 years. It cleared up when I started the NCD. I've never had it on my lips. What would be good to put on them? My doctor prescribed reta A cream and told me to mix it with kids cortizone cream. I'm hard headed when it comes to listening to doctors. I went to a heath food store and bought mira cell oil. It has helped some but I still have what it looks to be blisters. My lips are still wrinkled but not as bad!! I even have the small bumps or blisters on the inside of my lips. I started spraying them with silver. I thought that maybe I was going through a healing crisis but I read that they don't last this long!!
In the beginning I felt like food was getting caught in my throat, I was told that my digestive system could be affecting my lips too. I took some digestive enzymes and it seemed to help. I have experienced this when I was first mercury poisoned!!!
Any insight would be helpful <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Also I forgot to say that I'm taking a parasite cleanse and for one day my tongue had a white coating. This is gone now!!

Not sure I totally buy the excema diagnosis either. I'd also be wary of metals in any OTC excema creams, many contain mercury as a preservative. But I'd stick with the parasite cleanse for sure and follow it with the hulda clark liver cleanse. I'd also take lots of Vitamin C.

You may be having some sort of die off reaction from the parasite cleanse which the C will help a lot.

My lips got really dry and started cracking with 2-3 days of a dentist putting some wierd plastic resin filling material into a tooth in my mouth. I had them remove it... the dentist was pretty rough and angry at me that day for implying there was a problem with the plastic filling material, I also had an ulcer like sore form on my gums next to that tooth. Anyway, it all cleared up within a couple days after the filling material was removed. My throat was also slightly swollen, like it sounds yours is/was. I'd say you are having an allergic reaction to something in your mouth and should proceed with caution because too much of it and you will literally suffocate not just get food stuck in your throat. If you are wheezing, lungs feel loaded/heavy that's another sign.

My dentist... I had written on the patient info form that I was sensitive to some plastics and to cover themselves they simply cut that part of the form off and said I never filled it in.

gotta love dentists. Joke of the day is that they lie through their teeth. A good kick in the teeth is the cure for that.

I think there's something definently wrong with my digestive system. After I eat I notice that I burp!! It feels like I have a lump in my throat at times.
Thank's for the info, It's always appreciated!!
I haven't taken anything that the doctor prescribed!! I don't trust doctors!!!
I wanted a diagnosis, so I could treat it!!
Thank's,

Get a papaya and eat the fruit with a good number of the seeds too, great for digestion, very compatible with your parasite cleanse.

i really like the hulda clark liver cleanse after the parasite cleanse, really smoothed out my stomach. I think a lot, I mean major lot, of toxins came out with that too.

you might also add a tablespoon or two of Apple Cider vinegar, bragg's organic is the best, in a glass of water daily. Good for digestion, cleanses.

though if those were my lips I'd swear it was plastics and i would suspect fillings. Only plastics are capable of doing that to me. I get the worst rashes and hives from certain types. The rashes on your hands that appear to be excema could be the same thing. My hands and arms and face will rash generally, get very very dry also, from plastics and resins, some plant resins too. Will also be itchy.

If anti-histamines help, it's an allergy.

can't stand doctors generally myself though I did like the integrative med that chelated me.

I was just saying to a friend yesterday, after all i have experienced, it would seem that any good doctor should ask a few simple questions first... have you ever done a parasite cleanse? Have you ever cleansed your system of gallstones? because those two items right now seem to have made a really big difference in me and I was feeling pretty much ok or so i thought previous to doing them within the last month. I can really feel a big difference after the liver cleanse that helps pass all the gallstones. Was a lot of bacteria in there I think... I have been using a little bit of goldenseal root extract all week which seems to have helped a lot with that too.

I appreciate the feedback you have given me!! The only thing plastic that is around my mouth is a water bottle. I drink lots of water.
I thought maybe our new pergo flooring might be causing my lip reaction?? It's soo hard to pin point anything when you have soo much going on with your body.
I bought a mango the other day, I read that they were good for your digestive system.
I think I'll try the vinegar too, Thank's!!
I still have two silver fillings left in my mouth. As soon as I have the money I'll have them removed!! I've had six removed two years ago. I feel almost human again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Thank's again for your insight.

You might need some oiling from the inside...? Mercury is really bad for depleting essential fatty acids which can cause the dry skin problems (lips included). So that is another thing you might want to look at. Candida can do it as well, so be careful of sugars in your diet (even natural ones).

I make sure I have enough fats in my diet (the right kind) like fish oil (mercury free brand), flaxseed oil (I just add a teaspoon to my yoghurt and stir it in), butter, olive oil and things like that.

Mercury can really cause dry skin, so sometimes you have to counteract it's action by oiling yourself up internally. Other than that, not sure of the answer.

Bex,
I take the super omega 369 oils. I'm wondering if I should take more than one capsule a day?
I was reading today about what parasites can do to you, one of the things was excema! Those parasites can do as much damage as mercury!!
Thank's for the info

Yeah, it's hard to say what is doing it. It could be mercury directly (allergy/toxicity), or mercury indirectly by it's action inside you. Same for candida yeast and parasites as you mentioned. Both of them feed off sugars in the diet and high carbs (fruit, potatoes, beans/peas, honey, milk, sugar) and yeasty foods can cause problems as well. I'd stay off these things completely. High yeast apparently can methylate mercury and make it more toxic. High yeast can also allow mercury to do even more damage due to weakening the body, overloading the gut and liver with yeast alcohols/toxins. In fact candida alone, can cause so much misery that some have been known to commit suicide from candida. THe toxins from it affect the brain. So it's no small issue.

You could try upping your fat intake for sure. I get the oil straight and everytime I have my yoghurt, Im mixing in a teaspoon of flax oil in it. This might be 3 times a day or so. And on top of that Im having butter in my meals and when I cook I have butter and olive oil. Salads, I have olive oil. I even eat fat on the meat with the meat. It may sound "bad" because of the bad press fat gets, but these animal fats are doing fine with me and are advocated by the likes of Dr weston Price who has studied the healthiest cultures/specimens around the world for many years.

But again, I am eating very healthy foods too. Also Im sure the cultures Dr Price studied were probably much more active than most of us and burned things off sufficiently.

Fat and proteins are also advocated by Dr Hal Huggins (one of the mercury pioneers). He mentions that in his book and recommends steering clear of caffeine, sugar, etc and consuming enough meats, butter, etc. I would say balance that out with vegetables! Fruits are great as well, but for someone with high yeast, it may feed on that too much.

anyway sorry for the lengthy response!
