Getting Rid of Eczema Forever | Baby care | Health and Fitness ...

Posted by Diana on May 23rd, 2012 04:35 AM | Eczema??

For people suffering from eczema nothing would please them more than getting rid of their eczema forever.

Unfortunately there no cure for eczema and very few quick and easy treatments to help make the symptoms go away.

Eczema is commonly known as an irritating skin rash, but for patients it is painful, embarrassing and can lead to bleeding, oozing cracked skin. The near uncontrollable itching often leads to scarring of the affected areas and possibly spreads the outbreak to unaffected areas of the skin.

There are a number of ways patients use to get rid of eczema but most of these center on relieving the symptoms. The swelling, bleeding, embarrassing effects of eczema are what the patients truly want to get rid of.

Cortisone Treatments

Doctors will often prescribe a cortisone treatment to help relieve the itching, but patients report that although the cortisone does indeed relieve the itching it does not prevent further outbreaks or get rid of the eczema. In fact, some patients report that the cortisone treatment often leads to more pronounced outbreaks with more severe symptoms once they stop using it.

Many patients claim that the best way to get rid of eczema is to start by identifying exactly what is causing your outbreaks in the first place. Some doctors believe eczema is caused by an over reaction of a patient?s immune system. This over reaction is made evident in the swelling, cracking, itching and bleeding skin. By identifying what is likely triggering the immune system over reaction you can remove the root cause of your eczema.

Start by thinking about the foods that you eat. Some patients report that by eating healthy, avoiding junk food, sugary sweets and soft drinks they can keep eczema outbreaks from happening or at least reduce the severity of the symptoms when they do have an outbreak.

Patients often report that by improving the overall health of their skin, either by increasing their intake of vitamins through a supplement, or by applying a cream or ointment high in vitamins directly to their skin is another great way of getting rid of eczema.

Avoid Irritants

It is also a good idea to avoid, as best you can, aggravating the eczema outbreaks. Try not to scratch the affected areas or wear scratchy clothing over the outbreak if at all possible.

There are a number natural, herbal remedies which some patients have reported has helped them get rid of eczema. These should be considered only on a trial basis as not every patient is the same and may not react the same way to the same treatment.

It is also important to remember that herbal treatments have not been thoroughly tested by the Food and Drug Administration. Be certain to record exactly what herbal remedies you are trying to get rid of your eczema so you know what works, what you might want to try again and what you might want to avoid in the future.

There is no cure for eczema but there are a number of ways in which you can help alleviate the symptoms and prevent further eczema outbreaks.

There are currently many products available on the market professing to provide the best treatments for eczema. However, the key features to look for include: effectiveness, the overall safety of the product, the speed at which the product aids in giving skin relief and the composition of the product itself and ultimately the cost of the product.

Commercial space race gets crowded behind SpaceX

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A privately built space capsule that's zipping its way to the International Space Station has also launched something else: A new for-profit space race.

The capsule called Dragon was due to arrive near the space station for tests early Thursday and dock on Friday with its load of supplies. Space Exploration Technologies Corp. ? run by PayPal co-founder Elon Musk ? was hired by NASA to deliver cargo and eventually astronauts to the orbital outpost.

And the space agency is hiring others, too.

Several firms think they can make money in space and are close enough to Musk's company to practically surf in his spaceship's rocket-fueled wake. There are now more companies looking to make money in orbit ? at least eight ? than major U.S. airlines still flying.

Private space companies have talked for years about ferrying goods and astronauts for NASA, but this is the first time one is actually in orbit and about to make a delivery for the space agency.

"Dragon is not the only entrant in commercial cargo," said Jeff Greason, president of XCOR Aerospace, which specializes in the also busy suborbital marketplace. "They have competitors nipping at their heels."

Still, Dragon's launch is "the spark that will ignite a flourishing commercial spaceflight marketplace," said Michael Lopez-Alegria, the president of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation and a former astronaut.

Hiring Musk's SpaceX and other private companies is a key part of NASA's plan to shift focus. Instead of routine flights to the space station with the now retired space shuttles, NASA is aiming further out to places like asteroids and Mars. After this test flight, SpaceX has a contract with NASA for a dozen delivery runs.

The idea is to "let private industry do what it does best and let NASA tackle the challenging task of pushing the boundary further," NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver said last week.

NASA has given seed money and contracts to several companies to push them on their way. But eventually, space missions could launch, dock to a private space station or hotel and return to Earth and not have anything to do with NASA or any other country's space agency.

Earlier this month, the Hawthorne, Calif.-based SpaceX signed an agreement with Bigelow Aerospace of Nevada which is designing inflatable space stations for research and maybe even tourists. SpaceX and other companies will provide the transportation ? like airlines ? and Bigelow the place to stay. There are already eight different licensed spaceports in the U.S. where companies can launch from and most of them have no connection to NASA.

Another space launch-and-tourism company, Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic is working separately from NASA and the space station.

If NASA isn't involved, there is one federal agency that is. The Federal Aviation Administration has a commercial space office that licenses private space missions and works with NASA to set safety standards.

An update on some of the closest competitors to SpaceX:

? Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., is in the cargo-only business, but it is closest to launch. It has a NASA contract for $1.9 billion for eight cargo flights to the space station once its rockets succeed. The early versions of its Antares rocket and Cygnus spaceship are already built, but the company is waiting for its launch pad to be finished at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. A stay-on-the-ground test is aimed for late July, a launch test in the fall and trial run to the space station around November, said spokesman Barron Beneski.

? Alliant Techsystems, headquartered in Arlington, Va., isn't funded by NASA's commercial space program, but has developed the Liberty rocket and passenger spacecraft system. Most of the rocketry and capsule systems have been tested. A key structural test of the rocket's second stage is scheduled for early July, with the first unmanned test flight in 2014. Tests with a private crew aboard would be in 2015 and it would be ready to ferry NASA material and astronauts in 2016, according to Kent Rominger, a former astronaut and Liberty's program manager.

? Boeing Co. of Chicago has nearly $113 million in NASA commercial crew funding and just finished its second parachute drop test in the Nevada desert. It has completed 46 of 52 milestones needed before flights, spokeswoman Susan Wells said. A landing airbag test is targeted for the fall. The Boeing space capsule, called a CST-100, will carry astronauts and cargo with three test launches aimed for 2015 and 2016, the last one with a crew on board.

? The Sierra Nevada Corp. of Sparks, Nev., with nearly $106 million from NASA, is building a mini-shuttle crew vehicle called Dream Chaser with a first flight targeted for 2016 or possibly 2017. The company this year finished landing gear tests and has a full-scale ship for flight testing attached to a helicopter this fall in California.

? The most secretive of the companies, Blue Origin of Kent, Wash., is run by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and has received $22 million from NASA. Its crew and cargo vehicle, called New Shepard, would also take tourists to suborbit. Its shell passed wind tunnel tests and its engines are now being test fired at NASA's Stennis Space Center.

HBT: Selig says little pressure for more replay

While speaking at a ?sport and society conference? in Wisconsin today MLB commissioner Bud Selig said that he doesn?t believe additional video replay is needed beyond the current system.

In explaining that opinion Selig said: ?I?ve had very, very little pressure from people who want to do more.?

I?m not sure who Selig has been talking to, but clearly it isn?t the average fan. Spending one night on Twitter reading the reactions to various blown calls around baseball might give him a much different perception of the issue.

PFT: Bucs trade Winslow to Seahawks

Lions Titus Young catches a pass in front of Tim Jennings of the Chicago Bears in the second half during their NFL football game in ChicagoReuters

Officially, the Detroit Lions are not commenting on the sucker punch that receiver Titus Young threw at safety Louis Delmas last week, or explaining why Young did not participate in the first day of Organized Team Activities. But they?re informally putting out word that Young is not suspended.

Tim Twentyman, who works for the team as the lead writer at DetroitLions.com, took to Twitter on Tuesday to acknowledge that Young and Delmas had a scuffle but say Young is not suspended.

?The reports from yesterday that Titus Young is on suspension from the Lions is inaccurate, according to multiple league sources,? Twentyman wrote. ?The incident with Delmas did occur last week, but Young is not on any type of team suspension.?

Twentyman doesn?t specify which reports are inaccurate, probably because he can?t name any reports that actually said the Lions had suspended Young: What the reports said is that Young was told to stay home from voluntary Organized Team Activities. That?s not the same thing as a team suspending a player, which entails a formal process outlined by the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Twentyman also doesn?t explain why Young was absent from Organized Team Activities, or why he was the only receiver who didn?t attend the Detroit Tigers game last week when Calvin Johnson threw out the first pitch. When Johnson was asked about Young?s absence, he said, ?We can?t talk about that.?

Regardless, the Lions clearly have a discipline problem on their hands with Young. They took him in the second round of the NFL draft last year despite questions about his maturity after a college career at Boise State that featured two team suspensions totaling 10 games. Those questions about his maturity continued into his rookie season with the Lions, when he was flagged for some stupid penalties, and now those questions are continuing into the start of his second year in the NFL. The Lions haven?t suspended Young yet, but if they want him to change his ways, maybe they?ll need to soon.
