Eczema

22 August: Atopic 29 year old female. Inflamed, roughened skin with chronic atrophic changes due to prolonged topical steroid usage (triamcinolone). Steroid use was discontinued and wheatgrass extract was recommended three times daily.

27 November: Three months after ceasing topical steroids. Apart from some residual dryness, the patient now considers her skin visually “acceptable.” Patient used wheatgrass spray only twice daily. By January, her skin was almost normal.

Commentary by Dr. Chris Reynolds

"This particular young woman has suffered from severe, generalized atopic eczema since childhood. Her skin has caused her great distress and social isolation over the years. I am now using only the wheatgrass spray on the numerous eczema patients I see every day. The results have been outstanding. Mild to moderate cases almost invariably improve without the need for topical steroids. Some recover in as little as a week, but most of them take a month or two for their skin to stabilize. The strongest topical steroid I will ever use is 1% hydrocortisone. In the most severe cases, I add oral prednisolone in reduction dosage, usually starting with 15--20mg daily."

"For steroid-dependent eczema, again the great majority are able to dispense with their topical steroids. I have even had patients taking cyclosporins for eczema that I was able to cease and gain excellent control of their affliction. I am talking about thousands of eczematics, not just a few, who have benefited in this way."

"Wheatgrass, in cream or liquid form, is a safe, general purpose active healing agent that can significantly facilitate the work of hands-on health professionals. Taken orally, it can significantly boost the immune system and help prevent disease."
