Hey Everyone,

Well I'm up to 25 drops 3x daily of Japanese Knotweed, 1 500mg of Cats Claw 3x daily and just starting a couple of drops of Goutang on the Buhner Protocol. Not feeling much different yet, maybe my head feels a little weird and sleep still stinks.

I have noticed I now have very dry skin???? Is that normal....please advise.

I don't know if that is related to your treatment.

What's the weather like there?

I rarely have dry skin, but for the last week I have. Our weather has been colder than usual...and it's also been dry the past several days now.


Have you been detoxing? (You want to keep ahead of those toxins from treatment causing die-off)

I can suggest drink more water, which is really good for dry skin this time of year because our indoor heat supplies pull moisture out of us like crazy.

And for particularly dry spots, dry organic coconut oil.....it's been helping me.

Thx, all I drink is water and yes I guess your right the weather here in Indiana has been crazy...61 with Sun followed by 17 and snow flurries. Not only is my skin dry but itchy too???? Do both go hand in hand? Don't know that I've dealt with this before???

Yes, sometimes dry skin can be itchy as well.

An alternative practitioner once told me that dry skin meant dry brain - meaning, needing more EFA (essential fatty acids). Not sure that's true, but I thought I'd mention it in case you were low on EFAs.

That's probably true Daisies! And it ties in with my suggestion of coconut oil! You can use it topically or ingest a teaspoon of it every day. I'd use it in cooking something though....it makes me gag, lol.

FWIW - We actually use coconut oil soap (with a foam pump). Ever since that, we've had less skin issues over the years. Previously, my oldest kid would have really raw and dry hands over the winter. He hasn't had that issue since we switched to coconut oil soap in a foam pump (we buy the soap, dilute with water, and put in a foam pump).

My husband says the same thing - when he sees me eat a Tbsp - i actually like it.

But, I buy the Organic Virgin coconut oil. my husband bought a different one once...and it tasted horrible.

I got the organic virgin....it's just the oily factor I have yet to get used to. I do oil pulling with it though, but barely use a teaspoon. I don't think I could swallow it by the spoonful. LOL. I need to get more, it's clearing up some rough spots on me. It is super dry in my room. Practically have to water the plants every day.

Traveler said it's great for hair when it's dry. She applies it to her hair and then wraps it ..and I believe sleeps with it on.



It's odd actually that I do like it...because I am very very fussy about what I can eat without gagging.

I grudgingly put coconut oil in my coffee. I say grudgingly because it makes me have slick lips.

I do it because I have to ingest it somehow and that is how I figured out to do it.

But I do put it on my body as a lotion. I love the feel of it.

I have put it on my hair before also. It was when I went through the color phase and the coloring dried my hair out so much. It worked okay. I found Olaplex works a lot better for my hair. But it is pricey.

And I hear the Lyme bugs love to eat it also.

The only thing I know of that gave me dry itchy skin is when it was suggested that I take Borax internally.

I dont use it anymore.

When I got sick I thought my skin got really dry. What happened is
my skin became really allergic to many clothes I had worn for
years. Pay attention to what you wear

Isn't it possibly related to thyroid ?

Dry skin can be a symptom of hypothyroid.


In my case it's not...it's just we've had a long, cold winter this year.
