Is Your Eczema Coming from a Salicylate Sensitivity? – Dr. Berg On Atopic Dermatitis

In this video, Dr. Berg talks about one common cause of eczema: Salicylate sensitivity. This is a natural acid present in plants, spices, and nuts. It's a protective mechanism for plants. I would recommend just avoiding all these triggers for 1 week and see if your skin improves to know for sure if you have this problem.

I literally come to dr berg for everything

I had some sort of rash on both my shins for almost a year. Started taking vitamin D3, K2, and C. Rash went away in about 2 weeks. Stopped taking it and rash started coming back after a few weeks. Now I take them every other day. No more rash and my rough skin is super soft now. Big thx to Dr. Berg !

So basically eczema is punishment for enjoying food.

[adrianmefford]

He’s not saying to avoid them forever, just for a week to see if you are sensitive to them. If you find that you are, then you can take steps from there to desensitize yourself. In order to do that, you have to figure out WHY these foods are causing issues for you and address that root cause.

I had eczema until I was about 25. It was chronic at school and I was bullied for it. I cured it finally by keeping a food diary and comparing it with flare ups. What did it for me was tap water and milk.

Dr B: Would be really good if you could do a vid or series on all the major skin conditions seb derm, psoriasis, etc.

Nothing could help me with eczema, I had roughly 70% of my body covered with spots, I mean... my whole hand was an eczema and rash, I was just sitting and thinking of a time when I die because it was unbearable, but then I got to the proper clinic/hospital and gone though the steroid, hormone and antibiotic treatment with no food for 3 weeks. Next were adsorbents, antihistamine and a very strict diet. It took 1 year to recover and get rid of any mark from my condition. Once you've passed a certain moment you can't stop the eczema or related causes naturally, only intensive medical treatment, don't wait untill your DNA gets mutated and your eczema become chronic or autoimmune.

When making videos like this listing foods to avoid, you should give sample meal replacement ideas to lessen the overwhelm of losing such staple foods in ones diet.. being paleo I can’t imagine loosing squash and sweet potatoes, almonds, zucchinis, cinnamon or broccoli.. but I have a really itchy bothersome scalp, low horomones and hair loss... at a loss for what to do.

This is probably the third time I was about to ask something to Dr. Berg and suddenly he posts a video about it.

I haven't had flares for sometime. Ketovoire now. It is connected to asthma. Twice when having a family disagreement (1 with Mom; 1 with child.. ) my palm began itching and had immediate flare up ! Sunlight helps clear it up, so is there a D3 connection? I take Berg's D3K2 everyday; have for 4 years. I had covid Feb 2022; doctor: "Your lungs are good and all your organs are fine." This was day 10. I was nauseous and dehydrated but had no breathing problems. In 2012 doctor told my alveoli were collapsing and they didn't know why. I know why: overweight and "prediabetic." Not anymore! Haven't needed inhalers for almost 4 years! Thank you, Dr Eric Berg and may God on High lead you into all Truth and bless you and your family!

Dairy and sugar were my triggers...no more eczema dermatitis for years now.

[pkk]

My eczema seems to flare up more when I'm at work so I think it's stressed related.

[carmelmullery-mcloughlin]

Just to let you know epsom salts baths are very good for helping salicylate clear from your system when there is a build up in the body..

[templestone]

How do you get immune to these foods? avoiding all these is hard!!

[kennethkrysiak]

The list doesn't mean you have to remove all of them. Keep a food, area, activity log. See if you see a correlation with flare ups. Can use list provided to eliminate what can be causing making it worse.

[sandratait]

YOU are unbelievable!!! I literally was just about to review your videos on eczema! Thank you! Not super happy about the long list of what I can’t eat but will follow your suggestions.... Keto and IF have helped!

[SuperCheeseUs]

My eczema was caused by sulfates in soaps, including shampoo. I'm also horribly allergic to sulpha drugs.

[amyhi]

Just what I needed for my son I will try it hope it will work. thanks!!! 🙏

[orlando]

Might as well they stop eating food because those are actually foods that are vital for good health. i treated mine with vitamin D.
