In Just 4 Months: How Penelope Conquered Severe Eczema (Before & After Pictures)

Updated: Sep 26


Penelope, a three-year-old with severe eczema, began her journey to healing using a root cause, holistic approach that has yielded incredible results. What many experts claim to be a condition without a known cause, Penelope’s journey sheds light on the emerging studies that link eczema to gut and immune dysfunction. This promising new perspective not only cleared her skin but improved her overall health as well.


Identifying the Root Causes

Penelope's condition wasn't merely surface-deep. Through detailed root cause testing, we identified several underlying issues:

  • Inflamed and Leaky Gut: Her gut showed high levels of bacterial, fungal, and parasitic overgrowth.

  • Gluten Sensitivity: A significant contributor to her inflammation.

  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Low levels of Vitamin B2 and Vitamin D.

  • Detoxification Challenges: Due to high bacterial burden from strains like Pseudomonas, Staph Aureus, and Strep spp.


The Holistic Approach

To address these root causes, a comprehensive, multi-faceted plan was vital. Here’s a step-by-step outline of Penelope's treatment:

  1. Antimicrobial Herbs: Targeting and reducing bacterial, fungal, and parasitic overgrowth.

  2. Nourishing Supplements: Correcting nutritional deficiencies and leaky gut with targeted supplements.

  3. Dietary Modifications: Avoiding foods that she had sensitivities to and incorporating gut-healing foods.

  4. Lifestyle Changes: Lowering her toxic burden from things that were contributing to her systemic inflammation.

  5. Detoxification Support: Providing supplements to help lower the body's toxic burden.


Incredible Results in Just Four Months

In a mere four months, Penelope’s skin has almost completely cleared up.

Beyond Skin-Deep Benefits

The benefits of this holistic treatment extended beyond clearing up eczema. Many parents of my patients report additional improvements such as:

  • Better Behavior: Enhanced mood and manageable temperaments.

  • Resolved Constipation: Improved digestive regularity.

  • Fewer Sick Visits: A generally healthier and more resilient immune system.


Understanding Eczema and Gut Health

While conventional medicine often emphasizes symptomatic treatments for eczema, emerging research illuminates a different path. By focusing on treating the root causes, especially gut health and immune function, we can uncover a profound method for not only managing eczema.


Empowering Parents with Information

For parents seeking effective eczema solutions, understanding the intricate link between the gut and skin health is empowering. The remarkable transformation seen in Penelope is a testament to the power of holistic, root-cause-oriented treatments.
