This post is about my survival and recovery from a rare illness called Stevens Johnson's Syndrome.  I learned about it after struggling with a chronic form of the illness for over three years from a client no less!!!  She knew about it because a young child in her neighborhood had gone blind from the illness.

 

Not much is known about Stevens Johnson's syndrome other than it is a severe skin inflammation that turns into a systemic inflammatory disorder. The immune system goes ballistic usually due to a prescription or over the counter drug.  In my case, using neither...it was a sunscreen...but it can be any substance that creates an immune overkill response.  The most common cause is antibiotics and many victims are children.  The affected skin becomes very inflammed and just falls off. Mine appeared to burn and then peel off and itched just horribly both from the inflammation and then when the affected skin was peeling off.  My scalp was very much affected and I lost alot of hair, and had bald patches.  My scalp has been the most difficult area to heal.

 

 

I had no idea what actually was going on and neither did the dermatologic experts I consulted. They were incredulous that a sunscreen could do such a thing or that any substance could be absorbed into the body through the skin...guess they never heard about dermal patches, huh?

They did want me to get on intravenous cortisone but I refused this. As it turns out, the jury is out on whether this helps or hurts the situation.  Most of the time I felt unbelievably toxic and like I had swallowed a hot poker. People could feel the inflammation coming off my skin and scalp and my skin looked burned and leathery after repeated burns. I also constantly complained about my eyes and they appeared red and irritated.  Hence the term, auto incineration syndrome.  While, I had  an overactive immune system in many ways, it became tired very quickly and I was quite susceptible to infections of all kinds for years.  Believe it or not I am actually still recovering!!!  I am,  I think about 85% recovered but I still have bouts when I come into contact with things that antagonize my immune system such as allergens, chemicals, toxins viruses, and other health stressors such as lack of sleep.

 

Due to the problems inherent from this illness I learned alot about the immune system and how it functions and the many factors that influence it.  I also learned a tremendous amout about skin health and how to regenerate the skin organ.  Most importantly, I learned not to fear illness and death, and to have even more compassion for my patients and clients who were in crisis and afraid and suffering.

While I have always been a compassionate person, I didn't really understand fully what it was to really suffer.  I also had no real idea how long it takes to get better and how confusing that path can be at times.  I really didn't start to feel consistently better for almost two years and even then it was touch and go.  I also did not fully appreciate how lucky I was to recover at all until my client told me what I had, about her neighbor child and I did my own research.  Another aspect of it was how toxic drugs and chemicals are to some of us...I ahve always understood somehow that my vibration was somehow "different" and I did not respond well to drugs even over the counter safe drugs like benedryl.  By the time I had my wisdom teeth pulled at age 15 and nearly died from the anesthestic I knew that drugs were somehow not an option for me and that knowlege led me down this healing path.

 

The things that helped me were acupuncture, flower essences, diet therapy and rebuilidng the body's ecology via the gut....and I am still doing all this!!!  Now though, I feel grateful to be alive, vibrant and able to share my story with others.  You may want to visit my store aisle for recommendations of awesome natural skin products.

 

Hey regarding being alive, I am going great guns with my songs got aired on UCLA radio today and much more and I have a show Saturday 10/9...sorry I am going to be closed due to that.  If you are so inclined I have a tuneplayer at the very bottom of this page and in the contact us portal where you can check out my songs!

 

Thanks for being in my life!

 

Best of Health!

I have decided to add a bit of humor to each week's topic by adding a health cartoon to try to lighten things up everywhere...I hope it makes you smile!!! :)

 

A couple quick things before I get to this week's topic...I will be closed on 6/22 this Tuesday taking a vacation day before my show at the Cubby Bear...I can do that right????  If you need to pick something up NO Problem that can be arranged...so just contact me, Thanks.

 

I have some free gifts with supplement purchase this month so remind me, we have a new product catalogue in progress and an Anatomy of Nutrition seminar coming.....early July.

 

This week's topic is about natural help for skin disorders.  The skin is the body's largest organ and provides some important roles in immunity and detoxification!  Many of you will recall a few years ago my terrible debacle with a sunscreen product which led to my battle with seborrheic dermatitis...it has just sucked, and long before that happened to me I will tell you that both in my naturopathic training as well as acupuncture chinese medicine training sages in both fields would really shrug when people appeared with chronic skin problems because they were so difficult to get rid of...

 

I have found that to be so myself, clinically and personally....I finally think I have figured out why and I believe it's that the human body is so intelligent it tries to keep pathogens and toxins at the skin level away from more visceral organs but this makes it hard to resolve.

 

In a health process view, I have found  skin problems to fall into categories of: bacteriology or toxicity...IE acne,  Digestion: IE Rosacea, eczema, Psoriasis...can all result from bacterial imbalances in the body which affect immunity and create skin inflammation, Immunity: Eczema, Psoriasis, Sebborrhea....due to low immunity, chronic allergies or toxic triggers from the environment...Emotional Disorders: Hives, rashes dermatitis, eczema.

 

Oftentimes, to make things even more difficult several issues occur simultaneously...

 

In my case....a known toxin triggered an amazingly strong inflammatory response in my body....my body's immune system became overactive initially creating tons of inflammation and then hypoactive leading to eczema and finally psoriasis, as things worsened.  Finally, again in my case, as I rebuilt my immune system, I had to finally address the chronic anxiety I experienced from not knowing how I would feel from minute to minute which then created a viscious cycle of itching and anxiety...addressing all these pieces has allowed me to recover to a great extent, and I continue to improve daily.

 

I have seen many people recover the health of their skin and their overall health has benefited significantly as well....there is no need to suffer.

 

 

Sincerely,
