Dr. I have eczema on just 1 foot, flares up bad in winter, not so bad in summer, I am sick of steroid creams, I would rather it look feral then use them anymore. I am vegetarian (milk cheese okay, no egg ect) I take flaxseed oil for my omega's

what would you recommend help my foot look better, I am used to the itching I dont even know it's there anymore

[mercola]

@seinfeld11123 Listen to your body and eat some animal protein. Flaxseed oil is absolutely terrible, and you clearly have not read anything I have written on it. Krill is much better and in addition to animal proteins and fat would get some tanning on your body through a safe tanning bed in the winter and sun in the summer

@mercola so dont grind up flax seed? what is the difference between extracted oil Vs grinding up seed? and what about chia seeds?

I also add sunflower seeds to my morning protein shake, which is Whey, its organic, I buy it non commercial its isolate I add 25% WP Concentrate to it I use Organic non homogenized cows milk (its hard to get raw milk in Australia, I get it once a month roughly its alot better. I eat nuts, 2-3 serving of fruit, I usually eats soups/juice as I get big doses of vegies

@seinfeld11123 Ground up flax is fine but you said you were taking the oil. Whey isolate is crap you need the concentrate. Add krill like I said and since you are in Australia it is summer so get plenty of sun on the area and eat some animal protein.

what is ccof certified? is that not a good certification?

[jamvaru]

all natural ingredients also mean naturally processed, like ground flax seed vs extracted oil

I like frozen veggies for freshness over 'fresh' veggies... I just thaw to room temperature, eat with rice (thai jasmine or japanese sushi)

Does anyone else think there's a potential conflict of interest? Who can sell their own anti-sun moisturizer and not be tempted to exaggerate the ineffectiveness of and damage done by current products?

Mr Dr. Mencola you mention in your website that Peg is a hazardous ingredient and that dioxane can be hidden in ingredients like Peg.... peg is not safe but are all the ''family'' of beg unsafe too? particularly is peg-8 unsafe ...i know that korres uses this ingredient in skin care (korres is an company that produces natural products)

thanks for the great information yoy sharing!!!!!!

How can I see your skin care products

@uhhuhcheckit just stop washing your hair and skin everyday, and as cool as possible water allow your body to make its fat layer on top of the skin, you wont have any of those problems. My hair was really dry, I used "mild" shampoo but still did it, until I researched that no matter WHAT SOAP U USE IT IS A STRIPPER of essential oils, so less the better, just condition your hair everyday with "natural organic conditioner" shampoo twice a week, your hair will get a nice fragrance (if ur healthy)
