More Updates

I spoke with Linda again today.
The rash has stopped spreading from her
feet all the way up to her legs, with
just a small amount on her stomach and
back.

However, her face got overtaken by
the rash in a big way! Her eyes were
almost swollen shut, her mouth is
swollen, and her neck has been
especially itchy.

She called me today in frustration,
but I reminded her that the body
heals from the bottom to the top.

I asked her how her appetite has
been these last few days, and she
said that yesterday was the first
day she felt like eating. So she
make herself vegetable soup.

She was complaining that the itchiness
on her face and neck was totally
unbearable and is there anything she
could do?

Well, with limited supplies, I
thought about her choices.

I knew she had protein powder at
home so I suggested she drinks
a big glass, with half a scoop
of protein powder every 2 hours.

Why protein?

Because when there is inflammation,
itchiness, redness, infection of
any kind, the body needs lots of
extra protein to repair itself.

It's like running out of nails
when you're building a house!
No nails, no house!

Linda drank her protein shake
faithfully every 2 hours and reported
that the itchiness AND the swelling
had reduced greatly. She was happy!

I had drink the protein instead of
eating it since she had not been
eating much the last few days. A
steak would have been difficult on
her digestive system.

Soon, I'll let you know how fast
the rash, and any disease, can heal.

Until next time,
Dr. Judy
