Eczema in babies and kids is becoming more and more common these days. Eczema (plus asthma and allergies) has increased tremendously over the last 50 years. It was rare only a couple of decades ago. The answers to these diseases can often be found in the many dietary and lifestyle changes.
Eczema is now considered the most chronic disease in children and is also considered as an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune conditions develop due to continual reactions against foreign proteins that leak into the bloodstream from the intestines. The immune system reacts which results in conditions such as eczema. The leakiness is referred to as a leaky gut.
Focus on healing must be placed on:
1) Sealing and healing the gut lining
2) Healing the micro flora of the gut
3) Healing the micro villi of the gut
