PANDEMIC
Eczema Prevalence in the United States
A substantial proportion of the US population has symptoms of eczema; 31.6 million with eczema, and at least 17.8 million with moderate to
severe eczema or atopic dermatitis. The prevalence of childhood eczema/atopic dermatitis in the US is 10.7% overall and as high as 18.1% in
individual states and 21% across various countries. Approximately one out of every three children with eczema/atopic dermatitis has moderate
to severe disease. A recent study found that the prevalence of eczema in adults could be as high as 10.2%, which suggests that most children
with eczema/atopic dermatitis continue to be affected even in adulthood. Three percent of US adults have moderate to severe eczema/atopic
dermatitis requiring systemic therapy. These numbers are much higher than for psoriasis, a disease that now has many good-targeted
treatments for moderate to severe patients. Yet, there are still very large unmet needs for the treatment of patients with eczema / atopic
dermatitis.
This discrepancy between the higher prevalence and lack of good treatments for moderate to severe eczema stems, in part, from an
incomplete understanding of the disease. For many years, there was an active debate whether the primary defect is in the skin barrier or an
immune abnormality.

THE IMPORTANCE OF USING DOUBLE-BLINDED
PLACEBO CASE STUDIES

QUICK DEFINITIONS
▪ Epidermis
▪ Stratum Granulosum
▪ Stratum Corneum
▪ Atopic Dermatitis
▪ Eczema

▪ Epidermis - The upper or outer layer of the two main layers of cells that make up
the skin. The epidermis is mostly made up of flat, scale-like cells called squamous
cells. Under the squamous cells are round cells called basal cells. The deepest part
of the epidermis also contains melanocytes. These cells produce melanin, which
gives the skin its color.

▪ Stratum Grandulosum is one of the layers of the epidermis, situated just below the
stratum corneum except in the thick skin of the palms of the hands and the soles of
the feet, where it lies just under the stratum lucidum. The stratum granulosum
contains visible granules in the cytoplasm of its cells, which die, become keratinized,
move to the surface, and flake away.

▪ Stratum corneum - The stratum corneum refers to the outermost layer of the
epidermis, which is itself the outer layer of the skin. The full name of the stratum
corneum of the skin is the stratum corneum epidermidis. The other stratum
corneum, the stratum corneum unguis, is the horny compact outer layer of the nail.
In Latin "stratum" = "layer" and "corneum" = "horny" so stratum corneum = horny
layer.

▪ Atopic Dermatitis - A skin disease characterized by areas of severe itching, redness,
scaling, and loss of the surface of the skin. Atopic dermatitis is the most common of
the many types of eczema. Atopic dermatitis is frequently associated with other
allergic disorders, especially asthma and hay fever. A defect of the immune system
within the skin has been detected in patients who have atopic dermatitis, but the
reason for the defect is unknown.

ILLUSTRATION OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS

OUTSIDE – INSIDE – OUTSIDE HYPOTHESIS FOR THE
PATHOGENESIS OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS

▪ Eczema - any superficial inflammatory process involving primarily the epidermis,
marked early by redness, itching, minute papules and vesicles, weeping, oozing, and
crusting, and later by scaling, lichenification, and often pigmentation. It’s a common
allergic reaction in children but it also occurs in adults, usually in a more severe
form. Childhood eczema often begins in infancy, the rash appearing on the face,
neck, and folds of elbows and knees. It may disappear by itself when an offending
food is removed from the diet, or it may become more extensive and in some
instances cover the entire surface of the body. Severe eczema can be complicated
by skin infections. Childhood eczema may persist for several years or return after
the child is older. Persons suffering from childhood eczema may develop another
allergic condition later, most often hay fever or asthma.

RESIDENT SKIN FLORA
The resident skin flora is the physiological skin flora, also
known as colonizing flora. It comprises bacteria such as
Staphylococcus epidermidis, propioni and corynebacteria,
which do not have a pathogenic effect on the skin. The
microorganisms have important functions: their metabolism
inhibits the growth of non-resident bacteria and fungi, and
maintain the balance between the colonizing microorganisms.
Around 80 per cent of the resident skin flora is on the surface
of the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis.
Particularly high concentrations of microorganisms are found in
body regions rich in sebaceous glands, e.g. scalp, forehead,
axillae, front of the chest, and the area between the shoulder
blades. 20 per cent of the resident microorganisms are found in
the sebaceous glands (up to 0.3 mm deep). On non-intact skin,
such as wounds, the microorganisms of the resident skin flora
may trigger infections.

Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive, round-shaped bacterium that is a
member of the Firmicutes, and is frequently found in the nose, respiratory tract,
and on the skin. It is often positive for catalase and nitrate reduction and is a
facultative anaerobe that can grow without the need for oxygen. Although S.
aureus is not always pathogenic, it is a common cause of skin infections such as
a skin abscess, respiratory infections such as sinusitis, and food poisoning.
Pathogenic strains often promote infections by producing virulence factors such
as potent protein toxins, and the expression of cell-surface proteins that bind
and inactivate antibodies. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of S.
aureus such as methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is a worldwide problem in
clinical medicine. Despite much research and development there is no approved
vaccine for S. aureus.
An estimated 20% of the human population are long-term carriers of S. aureus
which can be found as part of the normal skin flora, in the nostrils, and as a
normal inhabitant of the lower reproductive tract of women. S. aureus can
cause a range of illnesses, from minor skin infections, such as pimples, impetigo,
boils, cellulitis, folliculitis, carbuncles, scalded skin syndrome, and abscesses, to
life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis,
endocarditis, toxic shock syndrome, bacteremia, and sepsis. While S. aureus
usually acts as a commensal bacterium, asymptomatically colonizing about 30%
of the human population, it can sometimes cause disease. S. aureus is extremely
prevalent in persons with atopic dermatitis. S. aureus infections can spread
through contact with pus from an infected wound, skin-to-skin contact with an
infected person.

OPTIMAL DIET FOR ECZEMA SUFFERERS: 75%
ALKALINE 25% ACIDIC

BENEFITS
How an Alkaline Diet Works
Here’s some background on acid/alkalinity in the human
diet, plus key points about how alkaline diets can be
beneficial:
•Researchers believe that when it comes to the total acid load
of the human diet, “there have been considerable changes from
hunter gather civilizations to the present.” Following the
agricultural revolution and then mass industrialization of our
food supply over the last 200 years, the food we eat has
significantly less potassium, magnesium and chloride, along
with more sodium, compared to diets of the past.
•Normally, the kidneys maintain our electrolyte levels (those of
calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium). When we’re
exposed to overly acidic substances, these electrolytes are
used to combat acidity.
•According to the Journal of Environmental Health review
mentioned earlier, the ratio of potassium to sodium in most
people’s diets has changed dramatically. Potassium used to
outnumber sodium by 10:1, however now the ratio has dropped
to 1:3. People eating a “Standard American Diet” now
consume three times as much sodium as potassium on
average!
•Many children and adults today consume a high-sodium
diet that’s very low in not only magnesium and potassium, but
also antioxidants, fiber and essential vitamins. On top of that,
the typical Western diet is high in refined fats, simple sugars,
sodium and chloride.
•All of these changes to the human diet have resulted in
increased “metabolic acidosis.” In other words, the pH levels of
many people’s bodies are no longer optimal. On top of this,
many are suffering from low nutrient intake and problems such
as potassium and magnesium deficiency.
•This accelerates the aging process, causes gradual loss of
organ functions, and degenerates tissue and bone mass. High
degrees of acidity force our bodies to rob minerals from the
bones, cells, organs and tissues.
Alkaline Diet Benefits
1. Protects Bone Density and Muscle Mass
Your intake of minerals plays an important role in the
development and maintenance of bone structures. (5) Research
shows that the more alkalizing fruits and vegetables someone
eats, the better protection that person might have from
experiencing decreased bone strength and muscle wasting as
they age, known as sarcopenia.
An alkaline diet can help balance ratios of minerals that are
important for building bones and maintaining lean muscle mass,
including calcium, magnesium and phosphate. Alkaline diets
also help improve production of growth hormones and vitamin D
absorption, which further protects bones in addition to mitigating
many other chronic diseases.
2. Lowers Risk for Hypertension and Stroke
One of the anti-aging effects of an alkaline diet is that it
decreases inflammation and causes an increase in growth
hormone production. This has been shown to improve
cardiovascular health and offer protection against common
problems like high cholesterol, hypertension (high blood
pressure), kidney stones, stroke and even memory loss.
3. Lowers Chronic Pain and Inflammation
Studies have found a connection between an alkaline diet and
reduced levels of chronic pain. Chronic acidosis has been found
to contribute to chronic back pain, headaches, muscle spasms,
menstrual symptoms, inflammation and joint pain.
One study conducted by the Society for Minerals and Trace
Elements in Germany found that when patients with chronic
back pain were given an alkaline supplement daily for four
weeks, 76 of 82 patients reported significant decreases in pain
as measured by the “Arhus low back pain rating scale.” (6)
4. Boosts Vitamin Absorption and Prevents Magnesium
Deficiency
An increase in magnesium is required for the function of
hundreds of enzyme systems and bodily processes. Many
people are deficient in
magnesium and as a result experience heart
complications, muscle pains, headaches, sleep troubles
and anxiety. Available magnesium is also required to
activate vitamin D and prevent vitamin D
deficiency, which is important for overall immune and
endocrine functioning.
5. Helps Improve Immune Function and Cancer
Protection
When cells lack enough minerals to properly dispose of
waste or oxygenate the body fully, the whole body
suffers. Vitamin absorption is compromised by mineral
loss, while toxins and pathogens accumulate in the body
and weaken the immune system.
Research published in the British Journal of
Radiology showed that cancerous cell death (apoptosis)
was more likely to occur in an alkaline body. (7) Cancer
prevention is believed to be associated with an alkaline
shift in pH due to an alteration in electric charges and
the release of basic components of proteins. Alkalinity
can help decrease inflammation and the risk for
diseases like cancer — plus an alkaline diet has been
shown to be more beneficial for some chemotherapeutic
agents that require a higher pH to work appropriately.
6. Can Help You Maintain a Healthy Weight
Limiting consumption of acid-forming foods and eating
more alkaline-forming foods can protect your body
from obesity by decreasing leptin levels and
inflammation, which affects your hunger and fat-burning
abilities. Since alkaline-forming foods are anti-
inflammatory foods, consuming an alkaline diet gives
your body a chance to achieve normal leptin levels and
feel satisfied from eating the amount of calories you
really need.

ANTI-OXIDANT RICH FOODS
Antioxidant sources, like antioxidant foods, herbs, spices and teas, reduce the effects of free radicals, also called oxidative
damage/stress, which plays a major role in disease formation. The leading health problems facing us today — including
conditions like heart disease, cancer and dementia — have been linked to increased levels of oxidative damage and
inflammation. In simplest terms, oxidation is a chemical reaction that can produce free radicals, leading to other chemical
chain reactions that damage cells.
Sources of antioxidants in your diet offer much-needed help in counteracting the damage done by things like blue light or
sun exposure, a poor diet, smoking or using other drugs, taking medications, toxicity or chemical exposure, even high
amounts of stress and other natural factors that increase the risk of age-related problems. In the process of fighting free
radical damage, antioxidants protect healthy cells while halting the growth of malignant or cancerous cells.
Today, the level of antioxidants in any substance or food is evaluated with an ORAC score, which stands for “oxygen radical
absorption capacity. ORAC tests the power of a plant to absorb and eliminate free radicals. These measurements were
developed by the National Institute of Aging and are based on 100 grams of each food or herb.

VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTS
It’s well-documented that Vitamin D is
essential for the proper synthesis of
calcium, and it’s been shown to greatly
reduce fracture risk in two ways. First, it
helps with the formation of stronger bones;
second, Vitamin D actually helps improve
balance and prevent falls by enhancing
muscle contraction.
For rejuvenating your bones, it’s vitally
important that you avoid Vitamin D2, and
choose a bioavailable form of this important
vitamin to avoid deficiency.
If you live in an area where it’s difficult to
get sun exposure or if you can’t spend 20 to
30 minutes outdoors a few times a week,
then you should be taking at a minimum
600 IU of Vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol daily.
But to achieve and maintain desirable
levels, I recommend taking 2,000 IU once a
day. Don’t worry that you may have too
much Vitamin D if you also sunbathe.
Remember that there’s no risk of
overdosing from the sun.
Source: https://saveourbones.com/the-huge-
difference-between-vitamins-d3-and-d2-and-why-
you-should-never-take-d2/
There are several biological mechanisms that contribute to the
superior absorbability and efficacy of Vitamin D3. In the liver,
thanks to a particular hepatic enzyme, Vitamin D3 is more readily
metabolized into a bioactive form of D that is easily converted to
its hormone form in the kidneys. It takes much longer to make
this hepatic conversion with Vitamin D2.
In fact, D2 and D3 are metabolized so differently that they result
in “the production of unique biologically active metabolites.”
Clearly, these forms of Vitamin D are simply not the same. Hence
the study’s conclusion that ergocalciferol should not be used as a
supplement.
You may be wondering how Vitamin D2 supplements came to be
the mainstream protocol in the first place. We need to go back
almost 100 years to find the answer.
Back in the early 1920s, scientists discovered that exposing foods
to ultraviolet light produced Vitamin D2. Thus the manufacture of
this vitamin was born, and the process was sold to what would
become Big Pharma. Drug companies then produced and sold
this medicinal form of Vitamin D to the public and to doctors.
Less than 10 years later, around 1930, scientists noticed that
Vitamin D2 did not seem as effective in the treatment of rickets
in children (the primary use of the vitamin in those days) as the
Vitamin D in cod liver oil. Subsequent studies showed mixed
results, and not surprisingly, in 1949 the World Health
Organization declared that differences between the two forms
are “minimal”. But recent research clearly shows that they could
not be more wrong!

QUERCETIN
Quercetin
Quercetin is an antioxidant found naturally in onions,
apples, and other produce. Several studies have
demonstrated the antihistamine effects of quercetin.
One found that it even lessened the respiratory side
effects of allergies in rats by reducing inflammatory
response in the airways. You can purchase quercetin
as a supplement or simply add more quercetin-rich
foods to your diet.
Quercetin Strength is designed for anyone
who regularly suffers from allergies. It is
particularly helpful during the winter
months and throughout the allergy season
to help support healthy histamine levels
and promote a healthy allergic response.
Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant
naturally found in a wide range of fruits,
vegetables and legumes. It supports the
immune system and helps maintain the
body’s response to allergens such as
pollen, dust and smoke and pathogens like
bacteria. It also helps to support an
already healthy inflammatory response in
addition to nourishing the cardiovascular
system and promoting cellular health.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. ...Quercetin, a naturally occurring polyphenol,
shows antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiallergic activities. Several recent clinical and preclinical findings
suggest quercetin as a promising natural treatment for inflammatory skin diseases.
Highlights
• Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic
inflammatory skin disease.
• Multiple signaling pathways may
combine to produce pathological
changes in AD.
• Quercetin is a potent pleiotropic
molecule that regulates multiple
pathways.
• Quercetin bioavailability limits its
usage in clinical settings.
• Various approaches to improve
quercetin pharmacokinetics are
addressed.

DERMAWHEY
DermaWhey 400 mg, 60 capsules There are few consistently effective options for the millions of men and women who suffer from certain skin
problems. Recent studies suggest that nutraceutical skin care products containing a whey protein extract, when used alone or in combination
with conventional medical treatments, provide significant relief for people suffering from mild to moderate skin inflammation. SkinGest PSOR
is a new generation of oral dietary supplements for natural skin care. The concentrated bioactives help support the skin's natural immune
response essential to maintaining the skin's healthy integrity under assault from the pro-aging ravages of environmental and internal stressors

WHEY PROTEIN
Whey protein can be bought as a concentrate (which contains small amounts of lactose – the milk sugar – and fat), whey isolate (a form which is
processed to remove the lactose and fat) or whey hydrolysate (where the protein chains are broken down into smaller units).
What do we know about whey protein and psoriasis?
Whey contains a number of smaller proteins that may influence psoriasis via their effects on the immune system and the growth of skin cells.
For example, lactoferrin (one of the small proteins found in whey) has anti-bacterial properties, and has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory
effects in humans and in animal studies. Whey protein extracts have also shown to slow the release of interleukin (IL)-2, a signaling molecule
which stimulates the overgrowth of skin cells in psoriasis. Some of the proteins in whey also exert positive effects via antioxidant activity. People
with psoriasis tend to have low levels of antioxidants together with high levels of oxidative stress, which may contribute to inflammation. Whey
is rich in cysteine, a small protein which is converted to a potent antioxidant known as glutathione. Studies show whey protein supplements can
enhance antioxidant defenses in a range of diseases 12 and potentially in psoriasis.
What does the science say?
Studies into the effects of whey protein in psoriasis have looked at whey protein extracts, whey protein isolate and topical application of the
proteins found in whey.
Whey protein extract
Several studies have shown the benefits of a whey protein extract (known as Dermylex) in the treatment of psoriasis. In one double blind
placebo-controlled study (considered the most rigorous type of clinical study there is), patients with mild-to moderate psoriasis were
randomized to receive either a daily dose of 800 milligrams of Dermylex or a placebo (dummy) supplement for a period of 56 days.
During the study period patients in the Dermylex group experienced a significant improvement in psoriasis severity, itching and self-reported
quality of life scores (which assess how much symptoms have affected daily life) when compared to the placebo group.
Similar to these findings, two earlier studies found that both 5 and 10 grams of Dermylex taken as a powder mixed into juice or food improved
psoriasis severity, although the larger doses were not found to be any more effective than the 800-milligram (0.8 gram) dose.
Whey protein isolate
In another small study from Canada, seven patients with moderate to severe psoriasis vulgaris consumed a daily dose of 20 grams of whey
protein isolate together with their usual treatments, which included topical steroids or UVB light therapy. After three months, the five patients
who had completed the study experienced a significant improvement in psoriasis severity, with no other changes in their treatment.

NATURAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND SKIN REPAIR

JO LAUREN BABY COLLOIDAL OATMEAL BATH BAG

LIPID/CERAMIDE MOISTURIZERS
The extraordinary Derma-Membrane-Structure (DMS) in PHYSIOGEL® Cream, produced
with high-tech methods, is modelled after the natural skin barrier. PHYSIOGEL® Creme is
able to deliver into the deeper layers of the epidermis (upper skin layer) the lipids and
ceramides in the cream, which are developed from skin lipids and skin ceramides, and
thereby reduce moisture loss. The protecting skin barrier achieves long-lasting
regeneration. No "wash-out" effect. Thanks to an exceptional manufacturing process,
PHYSIOGEL® Creme possesses no conventional emulsifiers. Emulsifiers can accumulate in
the skin and during washing, the crucial skin lipids dissolve and are washed out of the skin,
making the skin dryer. PHYSIOGEL® — hypoallergenic — Cream is free from: * Perfumes *
Preservatives * Dyes * Conventional Emulsifiers * Silicone * Mineral oil (Paraffin)
A skin care system researched and developed by the international dermal institute. A unique
anhydrous (waterless) moisturizer that melts gently into sensitized skin to help soothe irritation
caused by environmental aggressions such as pollution, temperature extremes, irritating
cosmetic products, harsh detergents, chemical exposure, stress poor diet or hormonal factors.
Formulated with Dermalogica's exclusive anti-ozonate complex to help shield skin from reactive
ozone. Oil of evening primrose and emollient silicones provide a velvety feel, while helping to
strengthen the skin's natural lipid barrier to resist future damage. Shea butter, Vitamin C and
Bisabolol. help maintain skin moisture balance while scavenging potentially damaging free
radicals. Fragrance free.

PH BALANCED BODY WASH AND LOTION
The protective acid mantle or hydrolipid film which covers
skin’s surface is slightly acidic. The average pH of around
5.4-5.9 is important for the activation of protective enzymes,
which regulate bacterial growth and support desquamation,
or skin shedding. In sensitive skin, the protective mantle
loses its acidity, weakening skin’s natural boundary
functions. pH5 Citrate Buffer helps restore and stabilize
skin’s natural pH, encouraging enzyme activation and
protection against irritations.
Dexpanthenol, which derives from panthotenic acid (also
known as Vitamin B5), is an extremely effective moisturizer,
improving hydration of the outer most layer of the skin, to
help reducing transepidermal water loss and maintaining
skin softness and elasticity.
Glycerine, also called glycerol, is a humectant, which means
it helps attract water thereby trapping it in the skin. This
makes it a very effective moisturizer, as it both smoothes dry
skin and gives it long-lasting protection and care.
