Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis
Last year, I was diagnosed of toxic epidermal necrolysis but as of now, i'm on my recovering period about the scars on my skin. my parents can't afford bringing me to a dermatologist since they prefer a homeopathic treatment. I accidentally landed on this this very informative site, Earthclinic and was very grateful about it. I doing the oil pulling therapy to completely detox my body from toxins. Sometimes, i really felt like giving up since i wasn't going out of the house for almost a year because of my skin condition. it really lowered my self esteem. The scar's disappearance is very slowly in progress. Im not taking any drugs as of now..just doing the detox every day... i really wanted to be normal again, go to school, and do anything under the sun.
Toxic epidermal necrolysis maybe of a staphylococcus' bacteria, since this is the only bacteria I know of that are flesh eating. Therefore the treatment is straightforward, magnesium citrate supplements 250 mg/day for days out of a week, baking soda 1/2 teaspoon in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day, 50 mg of zinc gluconate taken once or twice a week. That's what I would do. A condition such as this is a magnesium deficiency, and the body is in a state of acidosis. Some remedy such as one whole lime freshly squeezed (about 8 teaspoon) plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda taken twice a day is one possible alternative besides the baking soda alone can also be of help. The conditions is life threatening, as bacteria may penetrate causing a gangrene skin condition. What I would do likely in this case is to apply very lightly the use of Milk of Magnesia (please read the ingredient and make sure they have no additive aluminum compounds, just water and magnesium hydroxide and sometimes peppermint oil) Aluminum is extremely toxic - so absolutely no aluminum! Then after the application, get a petroleum jelly plus a small amount of aloe vera oil(optional), then this is applied to the open fresh wound scars. Do not rinse the Milk of Magnesia (make sure you shake it well before using!), and apply lightly before applying the petroleum jelly. The wounds should dry up within the next days, as to the scars, perhaps colorless iodine or potassium iodide solution apply may help remove the scar. The remedy mentioned may be a bit too strong on baking soda, however, it is always best to start with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water two times a day (at least) and if no problem the dose can go to 1/2 teaspoon. This is necessary to discourage staph growth, which is the key bacteria I have seen to cause this kind of condition.
