how long does it take?

my son has been undergoig homeopathy treatment for his eczema for the last 6months. although his oozing has subsided, his skin is rough, itchy, bleeds and cracks. it feels like sandpaper and he says it itches all the time. he is restless and cries a lot. i put castor oil, neem oil, eucerin and aquaphor. try to keep him lubricated all the time but it gets absorbed like sponge soaking up water.

can anyone please tell me how long does it take for eczema to disappear? what else can i do to improve his skin and give him some relief?

he has become mentally very unhappy and depressed. we have been givig him bach remedies (crab apple and larch) to help him mentally. he is 5 and a 1/2 yr old.

any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. can anyone please suggest any homeopathic remedy to help his skin condition ? does it usually take this long to get relief?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
i am so suprised ---- i have always recieved ecouraging respose from doctors in this forum. at this moment, i am a mother who feels helpless seeing my son suffer. my other options are to go back to steroid creams which does not cure the ailment.

please help me out.

emotin mental is of importance in eczrma treatment asto validate improvement or -not....as far as lengt of time to be cured--this s not certain but improvement shall be have seen in 14 days from commencement of treatmen--not necessarily cured but improvemen--this is alos in consideration of any aggravation thatmay occur before the improved state....also dietary conditions need be considered as possible impeding action in case...this all based on if proper treatmen is being given....and aslong as no new more serious ailments occur during treatment--giving indication of wrong treatment....also if vaccinations or other medicines ben used in health history--ills had in past ...etc ..all this is needed in consideration of treatment...any more than this i dont know--withouttaking the case....

I believe you did not receive any response to your post because you had entitled it as you did:
'how long does it take?'.

I saw it myself on the day you first posted but did not feel that it was of any interest to me and did not therefore respond. Suggest that you indicate the ailment like --' Eczema in a 5 year old ' in future for immediate response.

I have read your post about your son's Eczema and you may like to know that I have helped many cases with Arnica 6c in the Wet Dose.

The wet dose is made by inserting 3 pellets of the remedy into a 500ml bottle of spring water and it is succussed (shaken hard to ensure bubbling) every time before a teaspoonful is given to your son twice daily.

You can expect some positive response within a week when you can report your son's response on this forum.

Please stop all other medication that you may be using today.

dear joe,

thank you for your response. i have seen my son suffer so much in the last 8months that i have nothing to lose. i got arnica 6c today and will start it tomorrow. i will report his condition after a week.
i have a few things to ask before that :
1. will this remedy cause more aggravation? he is already in such an aggravated state that i am scared to try anything new.
2. i have seen you prescribe arnica in the wet dose for many skin condition which i have not seen other doctors do till date. can you please explain how you think arnica might help in skin disorder? i am curious to know how 3 tiny pellets in 500ml of water can create a remedy and successfully treat something as severe as my son's eczema.
3. bach remedies have helped him to some extent in overcoming his depression, i would like to continue that. will that be alright?
4. as i said earlier, i need to keep his skin moist with the oils and moisturisers, do u suggest i use anything else with it as well?
5. can i give him a bath everyday?

his skin looks black and bumpy like leather right now. it oozes from scratching. it bleeds too. do you think arnica will help him to fight that?

i have seen your boundless faith in arnica and i am sure you have your reasons. please help me in my son;s recovery.

You have no reason to fear any aggravation by using my therapy which has helped many hundreds perhaps even unknown thousands who like you have read of this incredible way of healing that I have promoted on this and other homeopathic forums. It seems such a pity that you did not use my therapy even before you posted which you did under a title that did not attract the response that it deserved.

I too must admit that I am still mystified as to how just 3 pellets in a 500ml bottle of water can possibly help a patient but this is the mystery of Homeopathy which I hope will also help cure your son. Remember to succuss the bottle over 10 times before each teaspoonful is given even thrice daily for the first week and twice thereafter.

I would prefer that you do not use any other remedy including the Bach's you are now using as I would like to let the Arnica 6c to help him alone. No other oils and moisturisers are necessary and you should expect to see some results within a week or even earlier.
Many have seen the difference in just 3 days and these were chronic sufferers for over 25 years and has spent fortunes to help their condition unsuccessfully.

You can certainly soak his skin while bathing but I would not like you to scrub it with soap. Let the water soak the skin as this can also help in the process of recovery.

I shall be delighted if as I hope my therapy helps your son and I shall await your reports of progress even daily.

I shall be interested to learn what remedies and drugs have been used by you for his Eczema so far.

dear joe,

looks like my posts are not getting enough response coz of my titles. will try better next time.

i know you have asked me earlier to try arnica for my son and although i was curious to try it, i never did. i will try to explain my reasons. we stay in the US where my son is undergoing homeopathy treatment presently. he has a good reputation and we are paying out of our pocket as insurance does not cover it. well, he keeps telling us that this aggravation is normal for skin problem. i did not know aggravation can be this severe, his skin is like aligator skin right now, black, bumpy and rough. he has stiffness in his joints. this has been going on for 8months. he is depressed, cries a lot and cranky all the time. he was a sweet natured boy before we started treatment.
since we were already following a line of treatment, i did not want to deviate. this is the reason i wanted to know the length of successful treatment.

ufortuately, i cant tell you the names of the medicines coz the doctor does not disclose it. but i know he was given sulphur and arsenic album. he also had asthma. he was given graphites to control the oozing. i know he has been giving other medicines but i dont know the names.

i have started arnica today. i got it from BOIRON but it did not create the bubbles in the bottle although i shook it 10 times before giving it. will this affect the treatment?

thanks for sharing and helping.

I am indeed surprised to learn that your 'reputed' homeopath could only offer you the lame excuse that the aggravation was normal for 8 months ! When did he estimate that this aggravation would stop ? I am also very surprised that he did not disclose the names of the remedies that he gave your son which you had every right to know.

This fact alone shows the depths that some homeopaths have descended not only in the US but in other countries as well to make a quick buck. And to think that this was done for 8 whole months to a 5 year old boy is just too horrible.

I can only hope that the remedy that you have now started your boy on, Arnica 6c can help as it has done many other patients who have been cured of their chronic eczema.

You also mentioned in passing that your boy has Asthma. It is said that both Asthma and Eczema are connected but it is rarely that both ailments are manifested at the same time.

I have helped many to overcome their Asthma but in your boy's case I feel that we should await some positive response of his Eczema which I feel requires immediate relief before we treat his Asthma.

JOE : i am still looking for some answers.
1. i read in one of ur posts about skin condition after using arnica 6c to treat eczema, 'The skin condition after this time resembles Vitiligo especially in the chronic cases which had eroded the melanin in the skin which does not regenerate but there is no discomfort or itchiness.'
my son;s eczema has reached the chronic stage after homeopathy treatment, so what are the chances that his skin might also look like VITILLIGO?


2.i got the Arnica from BOIRON but it did not create the bubbles in the bottle although i shook it 10 times before giving it. will this affect the treatment?

i have started giving him arnica and will post you any new development that might happen.

The skin condition was not due to the Arnica. It was due to the long period that the patient had been suffering from Eczema for about 75 years (He is now 88).

Your son too runs a good chance of suffering from discoloured skin due to his experience with the remedies that other homeopaths have prescribed which have left his skin as:
'his skin is like aligator skin right now, black, bumpy and rough. he has stiffness in his joints. this has been going on for 8 months'

We can only hope that since he is a five year old that his skin will not be permanently disfigured.

You did not observe bubbles as your bottle was too full. Please note that the 3 pellets will not efferversce. It is the bubbling that you will observe if you decant about a inch of the water from the top that is succussion and this raises the potency of the remedy slightly which makes it more effective to heal the patient.
