It is difficult to stand up to doctors. After all, we are trained from the earliest ages to submit, believe, and respect people in authority. For decades people (particularly women) have simply believed every their doctors said. Too bad because doctors are often overworked, overwhelmed, disinterested and WRONG!
At Healing Leaf LLC we are often inundated with stories of incorrect and dangerously mistreated skin conditions. When it comes to eczema and psoriasis (and other skin conditions) those numbers sometimes feel stratospheric.
Therefore, it becomes increasingly important to do your own research, to doubt and to seek other opinions. A woman we heard from told the following story:
“My hands were a mess. The lines split, cracked and bled. The skin on my palms became think and crusty. I thought I had an allergic reaction so first went to an allergy doctor. He could
find NO evidence of allergy, even after exhaustive tests and countless needle pricks. So I decided to try a dermatologist. My first appointment she said I had eczema. She did, however, give me an ointment that actually helped. Several weeks later I returned to her so I could score some more of that miracle prescription. Hmmm. This time she said I had psoriasis. When I pointed out the discrepancy, she mumbled, ‘Look they are sort of the same. I treat them the same. What difference does it make? Here’s the thing, your condition is chronic, there is nothing we can do about it and you are going to have it for the rest of your life.’ Are you kidding me? I knew I deserved more of her time, a little compassion and certainly at least the appearance of a thoughtful diagnosis.
So I decided to try an alternative practitioner. Going to a naturalist I underwent several tests and the FIRST diagnosis was dehydration. I drank coffee all day. Had wine with dinner. Thought I was taking in plenty of fluids. I did NOT know that both coffee and alcohol work as diuretics, depleting the fluids in the body. In a way, I was worse off drinking these liquids than if I’d had nothing. I was also low in calcium, magnesium, potassium and other metals.
So I faithfully changed my habits, drinking close to 100 ounces of water each day and taking supplements. No prescriptions. No lifelong suffering plan. No hopeless dismissal. And guess what? I began to feel better. The cracks, bleeding palms and dry skin disappeared. That has been three months and I have not had a single recurrence.”
The reason we love this story is because it is filled with hope. It reminds us no one should blindly listen to tired, overworked physicians who are overwhelmed by disease, time constraints and non-cooperative patients. 
Healing Leaf LLC’s X-zema® is a soothing blend of healing herbs and oils that brings comfort and relief to patients as they go through the process of unraveling WHY they have developed their skin conditions. There is ALWAYS a cause and a reason. Do not suffer unnecessarily as you get to the bottom of your particular case and do NOT give up. There are so many enzymes, adrenals, metals, minerals and vitamins that go into having a healthy and well-balanced body. Every single patient deserves the thought and care and concern that delineates the difference between a hopeless diagnosis and one that lifts the body to new and exciting health and wellness.
