Eczema...Gone For Good!

I've got another great story about my daughter. Not only has she felt better since she started taking the Energizing Soy Protein/ Physique Shakes and her Shaklee Ocean Wonders Children's Vitamins, but we have discovered something to help her skin. Since the time she was born, she has had extremely sensitive skin. We've tried everything to help her with this issue and nothing has worked. It got to the point that throughout the dry winters and during the hot sticky days in the summer, she would spend those days with bright red patches on her shoulders, arms, back and legs. It was painful, itchy and very irritating for her. In the summer she was embarrased to wear her summer clothes because of the red patches. We tried slathering her in Vasoline, Eucerine, Lubriderm....and other expensive lotions and it would either burn on her skin or just sit there and do nothing.
Then finally this winter, I heard a recording of a pediatrician who is now prescribing Shaklee products to her patients with great success. She mentioned that for the children she saw with skin conditions and rashes, she would tell the parents to put the kids into a Basic H bath. I was surprised by this because I knew Basic H was a great all purpose cleaner that Shaklee created years ago, but never knew that it was good for the skin. Well, we were desperate enough this winter to give it a try. And guess what? Within a day or so of showering with just Basic H, her red patches started clearing up. She stopped itching and the redness never returned. She uses Basic H faithfully now for her regular showers and she will immediately go in the shower after swimming to wash off the chlorine. And yes, the children's soap we bought at the store went directly into the garbage. She is a true Basic H believer! She will shower with nothing else now! She has been clear of eczema symptoms for six months now. Incredible! She spent 10 years of her life struggling and suffering with this skin condition and within two days it cleared up with Basic H.
I also use it in the shower for cleansing and shaving. Yes, it's also a great shaving gel. My skin is softer and smoother. Come to think of it, in past years, I always got a kind of heat rash on my legs and elbows and that has not appeared this summer and I'm living in hot, hot Texas! What does that tell you?

The coolest thing is that Basic H is completely natural, biodegradable (so yes, it's environmentally friendly), and incredibly versitle. Versitle does not even describe what Basic H can do. If you purchase nothing else from Shaklee, just get yourself a supply of this stuff.
So, if you're looking for an all natural, inexpensive wonder cleaner/shower gel/skin healer/pet shampoo that's great for the environment...Basic H is the product for you! Until next time...."Here's to your health!"
