With a second show less than a month away, ProElite hit its first snag. UFC veteran Pedro Rizzo (19-9) has pulled out of his headlining bout against Tim Sylvia (29-7) at ProElite 2, citing a partial tear in his triceps tendon suffered while training in Holland. Rizzo announced the news on Monday via Twitter.
A replacement headliner has yet to been announced by promotion officials at this time. Rizzo was scheduled to compete against Sylvia in the quarter-final round of ProElite's inaugural, eight-man heavyweight tournament, also featuring Andrei Arlovski, Travis Fulton, and Mark Ellis.
The bout was to be Rizzo's first since July 2010, when he chopped down UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock for a TKO victory at Impact FC 2. The performance capped a three-fight win streak for the 37-year-old, including a second-round TKO over Gary Goodridge and a hard-fought unanimous decision over Jeff Monson.
ProElite 2 is slated for November 5th at the iWireless Center in Moline, Illinois. Along with the heavyweight tournament, the card features Reagan Penn -- brother of B.J. Penn -- and top-10 women's flyweight Tara LaRosa.

{ "id": "TgAWFmyTSu", "type": "myToolImages", "data": { "data": "" } }
HÀ NỘI - Science and technology create new vitality for rural areas, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Lê Minh Hoan has said.
Speaking at a conference reviewing the Science and Technology Programme for New Rural Development in the 2016-2021 period and plans for the next five years, Hoan said on Monday that agricultural land could be narrowed as more land and resources would be used for other industrial and infrastructure projects.
"The productivity of agricultural areas will eventually reach its limit. If it is not possible to increase productivity and output, there is no other way but to increase the value of agricultural products," he said.
To promote the implementation of the National Target Programme on Building New-style Rural Areas, the Prime Minister approved the Science and Technology Programme in early 2017.
The programme is implemented continuously with the first phase starting from 2016 to 2020 and the second phase from 2021 to 2025.
Under the programme's second phase, 84 science and technology tasks were identified to serve the National Target Programme on Building New-style Rural Areas in five major content groups with a total implementation cost of nearly VNĐ586 billion.
Science and technology played a crucial role in agricultural production and new rural area construction, Hoan said, emphasising that the science and technology programme must go in line with Central Party Committee's resolution No. 19-NQ/TW, dated June 16, 2022 on agriculture, farmers and rural areas to 2030 with a vision to 2045 to transform agricultural production thinking into agricultural economic thinking.
"Each scientific research project for the construction of new rural areas not only focuses on technical factors, but also needs to increase the content of knowledge along with agricultural economic factors and market factors to optimise the value of agricultural products and reduce production costs," Hoan said.
"Scientists not only transferred science and technology models to farmers, but also opportunities to help farmers improve their knowledge, increase productivity, and create new momentum for agriculture and rural areas."
The science and technology programme helped tighten the connection of resources between the sciences, theory and practice, and research and transfer to meet the requirements of the development of new-style rural areas, Hoan said.
Prof. Dr. Nguyễn Tuấn Anh, Programme Manager, said the programme contributed to promoting the development of commodity agriculture, connected and modern agriculture, and ecological and sustainable agriculture.
He said it also helped boost supporting industries for agriculture; economic restructuring, and rural labour.
The programme created many practical scientific products, many models of transfer and application of technical and technological advances to agricultural production, he said.
Over the last five years, under the programme, 97 production processes and technologies were transferred, and 208 effective demonstration models were conducted.
"In cultivation, the programme generated results that helped increase crop productivity by 30-35 per cent for vegetables, 10-15 per cent for rice, and increased the income of participants by over 25 per cent," he said.
Thanks to the restructuring of farming in production linkage models, the value of agricultural land use reached VNĐ133-500 million per ha per year, Prof. Dr. Tuấn Anh said.
In animal husbandry, high-yield and high-quality breeds were used widely, including pigs, chickens and geese.
In addition, typical factors that increased economic efficiency with different levels contributed to total additional productivity, such as changing crop structure contributed 12.1 per cent; integrated disease management (IPM) 15 per cent; irrigation 35-40 per cent; new plant varieties 25-30 per cent; new livestock breeds contributed 16.8 per cent; while fertilisers and other technical measures contributed 25-30 per cent.
Vũ Thị Vân Phượng, representative of VietRAP Investment and Trade Joint Stock Company, said that from scientific research, the company organised links with people in many northern mountainous regions to apply and effectively use resources under the forest canopy.
Science and technology were applied to ensure rational cultivation of medicinal plants that are used to make commodities with higher economic values, she said. VNS

The rocks and roadblocks on Thailand's path to a new Constitution
The road to democracy is never easy, but the path is particularly steep for Thailand in its journey to amend the Constitution and eradicate the legacy of the junta. Analysts believe the country will have to wait until at least 2022 before it has a new supreme law.
After delaying the job for a few months, lawmakers last week passed two charter amendment drafts proposed by the coalition and opposition parties respectively in the first reading. The drafts pave the way for a Constitution Drafting Assembly (CDA) to write a new charter, but they leave chapters one and two on general provisions and the monarchy untouched.
A 45-member parliamentary panel was set up to vet the two drafts and is expected to report the results to Parliament within 45 days for second and third readings late next month or early 2021.
Although the two bills deal with the same subject, they offer very different versions of the CDA and the amount of time it can spend drafting the charter.
While the government's bill proposes a mix of 150 elected and 50 selected members with a 240-day deadline, the opposition has proposed that all 200 members be elected and the job be done and dusted within 120 days.
The move to amend the Constitution comes amid mounting pressure on the government from youth-led protests calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, a more democratic Constitution and reform of the monarchy.
Critics say certain provisions in the charter are "undemocratic" and designed to enable Prayut to retain power following his 2014 coup as Army chief.
More than a year away
Though an official timeline for the new charter has not been set, Thailand is expected to have a new one in 2022 at the soonest if no legal hurdles get in the way.
Prayut said last month that the third reading for charter change motions should be completed in December.
For a bill to win parliamentary endorsement in the third reading, it needs support from more than half of Parliament or 376 votes, including at least 84 senators and 43 opposition MPs.
If the draft passes its third reading, it must then be put to a national referendum as it involves changes to the process of amending the Constitution. A new referendum bill will be considered in Parliament on December 1.
According to Deputy PM Wissanu Krea-ngam, who oversees legal affairs, the referendum process should be completed by April next year.
If the majority of citizens vote "yes", the bill will be submitted for royal endorsement. If not, it will be rejected.
Once the amendment comes into force, the process of setting up a CDA, which takes around 90 days, should begin in June and the CDA could start writing a new charter in September – October.
According to the coalition-sponsored bill, the CDA must have the new charter ready in eight months or by June 2022. Then, the national referendum will have to be held within 45 to 60 days or by August.
The monument at the heart of Thailand's battle for democracy
If future generations feel no obligation to respect, "it's just a question of when"
New hurdles
However, the door to charter change may be slammed shut by legal moves taken to block the bills that were passed last week.
A group of senators and ruling Palang Pracharath MPs have submitted a parliamentary motion seeking a Constitutional Court ruling on whether amendment drafts paving the way for a new charter are constitutional – a move seen by many as a delaying tactic.
The group claims the current Constitution allows the amendment of its articles, but does not allow the drafting of a new charter. Any action to allow the writing of a new charter would therefore be unconstitutional, says the motion, which is added to the parliamentary agenda on December 1.
Observers say if lawmakers agree to seek a court review, charter change will be delayed by at least another month.
Chaithawat Tulathon, secretary-general of the Kao Klai (Move Forward) Party, said the motion was designed to block the writing of a new document to replace the junta-sponsored charter. If lawmakers supported the motion, it would shut the door for charter amendment under a democratic regime, he added.
"A new charter may only be possible through a coup. This motion, which is aimed to protect the junta-backed charter forever, will 'freeze' Thailand," he said.
Seeking the court review further complicates an already tense political situation as it will anger the protesters, said Yuthaporn Issarachai, a political scientist from Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University.
Wissanu, meanwhile, said he does not think the charter amendment bills are unconstitutional, but believes it's better to seek clarity on the bills now rather than later.
He said the charter amendment process in Parliament could continue pending any court ruling.
Some critics say the court may not even accept the petition as the Constitution does not clearly say whether such a petition should be filed before a so-called unconstitutional action takes place. If this is the case, then the draft bills must pass the third reading before a court review can be sought, critics say.
However, if the court refuses to accept the petition citing the above reason, then lawmakers have the option of waiting until after the bills pass the third reading.
If the court agrees to accept a petition now, after the first reading, or later after the third reading, a ruling should come in around 30 days.
If it rules that a new charter can be written, then parliamentarians can continue the charter-change process. But if the court rules that Parliament is not authorised to write a new charter, then the two drafts will be voided and the dream for a new charter soon will be shattered.
Parliamentary rules say motions that share the same principles as those that have failed to pass cannot be reproposed in the same session. So, if the drafts fail, lawmakers will have to wait until Parliament reconvenes in May next year to submit new amendment motions.

We had been here for almost 2 years before we finally broke ground on the brewery building near the end of 2011. Well, actually it is a Total Span shed.
Over the next 2 years the building took shape and we added the chiller, front veranda, retaining wall and walkways. Also it needed power and water supply. The water comes from our bore and we also utilized the roof to collect rain water.
When the building was complete Godfrey moved onto finding the right brew house.
We wanted quality and Premier Stainless Systems had New Zealand representation and answered all of Godfrey's endless questions!
As it turned out our building was on the small side! They did some modifications to the specs in order for all of the tanks to fit. Rachel spent a lot of time with a tape measure and the order was finalized.
One sunny day in October 2014 a couple of trucks came through the paddock.
It took a nerve racking three days to unload and install. The boys from B-line rigging did an amazing job and got it all in without a scratch!
We now have an 800L combi HLT (hot liquor tank) and mash tun with a direct fire LPG kettle. Our 4 jacketed fermenters and 3 bright beer tanks give us a cellar capacity of 6000L. Woohoo!

1993 Worlds: A Look Back Through Video
Here's a raw, unedited video from the 1993 IDNIYRA World Championship from Andre Baby, the Montreal Iceboating Association, and Jeff Kent. The 1993 Worlds was memorable for being one of the biggest, with four fleets and over 170 competitors, and sailed on Geneva Lake in southern Wisconsin. The video is typical 1990s VCR quality but still worth a look. Pay close attention, and you'll see many familiar faces in the opening ceremony and the trophy presentation. There's racing footage in between the opening ceremony and the prize giving. Happy New Year from the IDNIYRA.

I read a lot about the game of baseball. On a daily basis, I'm reading articles from every corner of the internet and working on finishing some baseball-related book. The reason for this is simple, I love the game and the more I read the better I believe I become as a writer. I don't agree with everything I read, nor do I like every article or book that my eyes pass over. However, it's very rare that an article manages to make me mad. That happened twice last week, and both times it was related to the same topic.
No one in their right mind would deny that Major League Baseball is the top of the mountain as far as professional baseball is concerned. If you are playing in MLB you are the best of the best when it comes to being a professional baseball player. That being said, MLB isn't the only professional baseball league in the world. There are many different professional leagues that span the globe. There are professional leagues everywhere from Taiwan to the Netherlands. One could imagine my consternation then when not one but two articles published a mere day apart both referred to various professional leagues as not being professional.
The first article I read came from FanGraphs, and it dealt with the idea of expanding MLB and adopting a relegation system similar to what we see in football (the worldwide kind, not the American brand). It's an idea I've often toyed with myself and something I would honestly love for MLB to adopt. However, a few paragraphs in the article's author makes a passing reference to Mexico's summer professional league, Liga Mexicana de Béisbol (the article, of course, couldn't be bothered to use the actual name of Mexico's pro summer league), before he quickly instructs his readers to leave the league be while his plan will bring baseball to the apparently baseball-less city of Mexico City (sorry, Diablos Rojos del México you aren't professional enough to exist I guess). This is then followed up with the odd statement that his plan would make the current Triple-A level of Minor League Baseball into a professional league of its own. Not to possibly be misinterpreted the author hammers home his view of the minor leagues in the next paragraph by stating that his plan would restructure it so that Double-A was the highest level of minor league baseball before the pros.
That following day I came across an article from The Orange County Register discussing Nicaraguan players in the MLB and MiLB ranks. This article immediately drew my interest because I am a fan of both of Nicaragua's professional leagues: Liga Nicaragüense de Beisbol Profesional in the winter and Campeonato German Pomares Ordoñez in the summer. Midway through the article, the author cites a statistic from The Baseball Cube that suggests only 54 Nicaraguan born players have ever played professional baseball. Problem is that the page linked to in the article says nothing of the sort and in its listing of Nicaraguan players the number totals far more than 54. I'm not sure where the author got 54, or how he decided that the two professional leagues that have existed for years in Nicaragua (with thousands of players having spent time in them) don't count as professional?
These two articles combine to form a microcosm of the problem with the way MLB has branded itself, how we discuss MLB as writers and fans, and the disrespect shown to other leagues. There are a lot of sub-issues off of this main issue that merit time of their own. Heck, the lack of respect given to any of the Negro Leagues, both major and minor, by major websites when they discuss major league baseball history is a series of articles all on its own. The acute problem with these two articles is that they present the clear idea that MLB is professional baseball and everything else is amateur hour figuratively and literally.
As I stated earlier, MLB is the top of the mountain. It is the lone major league left standing (well, technically the American League and National League are the only major leagues left standing and MLB is but a governing body that oversees the two leagues) and that won't be changing anytime soon. That doesn't mean that other professional leagues are any less professional or that they aren't providing professional baseball for their fans on a daily basis. If you are someone who writes about the sport of baseball do yourself a favor and give those leagues the respect they deserve. Research the history of other baseball playing countries, treat the leagues that makeup MiLB as the professional minor leagues that they are. This isn't hard to do, and the more that discussions of MLB treat it like it is all there is to baseball the more fans of other leagues across the globe feel alienated from the greater baseball culture. If we are writing about the game of baseball on a global scale then from FanGraphs to The Orange County Register we need to do better, there's no denying that.

OPINION: More and more, it seems that smartphone manufacturers are turning away from making glossy-backed devices. Is this a good thing?
No-one could deny that the Oppo Find X5 Pro looks strikingly beautiful. The smooth contours are very easy on the eye, and the shimmering metallic finish is just dazzling, reflecting all the light that falls upon it like a perfect mirror. However, this beauty comes at a price; the minute that you touch it, it's ruined.
This may sound like a curse, some sort of strange inversion of the Midas touch, but it's true. The surface is so incredibly glossy that as soon as a finger comes near it, the gorgeous sheen is smudged and disfigured, retaining only a fraction of the appeal that it does for that brief moment you take it out of the box for the first time. And just imagine what it looks like when you're carried it around for a full day!
For this reason, more and more manufacturers are eschewing the glossy look in favour of a matte finish on the back panels of their phones. Just take a look at the OnePlus 10 Pro, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, and the Xiaomi 12 Pro for instance. All of these top-class flagships have dull backs that don't catch the light at all, yet they're highly practical and stay looking the same no matter how many greasy chips you've been snacking on during your lunch break.
To me, this kind of design also embodies a feeling of self-confidence; these phones don't need to shout aloud how good they are or draw attention to themselves with flashiness, but rather they just let their performance speak for itself.
Not only that, but a switch away from shininess does not by any means necessitate an end to dramatic designs, just take a look at the rather ingenious Realme GT 2 Pro.
The rear panel of this handset is made of a "bio-based polymer" (i.e. plastic), and normally this would be a disappointing substitute for glass on a premium phone. However, it certainly doesn't have the cheap look that this kind of material can often engender, because in conjunction with the Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa it has been given a finish that feels exactly like paper to the touch.
It doesn't just feel like that, but if you're brave enough to take a pencil to your new phone then you can even write or doodle on it, before erasing it just as you would on a real pad of paper – just see the tweet below.
Generally speaking it's always good to have a wide diversity of choice in the market, and different designs will naturally appeal to different audiences who have unique tastes. However, I do think that the Oppo Find X5 Pro could well be the nail in the coffin for shiny smartphones for quite some time, especially coming as it does during a time period where matte options are rapidly gaining in currency.
A phone that only looks good when you don't have your hands on it seems to utterly defeat its own purpose, evoking that Shakespearean metaphor of a gilded butterfly. Many of today's flagships prove that phones can look good and be practical at the same time, while Realme has already take this concept to a new level of intriguing innovation. I think it's time to wave goodbye to gloss, and instead roll out the welcome matte.

Air Charter Service has announced the promotion of Thomas Howe to president of its US west coast operation.
Mr Howe, formerly VP of the office, joined the company's cargo division in its London headquarters and soon built up a strong reputation within the industry. He later transferred to Los Angeles to start up the cargo department on the west coast and has built it up from scratch into a very successful part of the business. Mr Howe will now be responsible for the company's operations in California across both the cargo and passenger divisions.
Justin Lancaster, ACS Group commercial director, commented: "This was the natural next step for Thomas – he has displayed excellent management in the cargo division, both in the London office and since he has been here in California and I know he is relishing the opportunity to continue the office's expansion in the market." Mr Howe started his new role at the beginning of December.

When you want to advance your finance career, you have many certifications from which to choose, some of which are highlighted below. Earn one or more of these certifications, and your career in finance is sure to soar!
Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)
The CFA charger is essential in organizational money management and private wealth management, especially for those dealing with a more sophisticated clientele.
Earning your CFA takes a lot of time and effort, but excellent online CFA exam prep programs are available to make it easier.
A CFA needs to satisfy several ethics requirements, have a minimum of four years of relevant finance experience, and complete three tough exams in portfolio management and securities analysis.
The CFA Institute has a Council of Examiners that keeps the CFA curriculum up to date and relevant to current challenges in the finance world.
This is one of the best certifications to earn because most large financial services employers list the CFA as mandatory or highly preferred.
Certified Financial Planner (CFP)
Finance professionals interested in a slightly different approach to financial planning may want to become a CFP; money management is just one aspect of this program.
The CFP curriculum is multidisciplinary, and the certification covers education, asset management, insurance, employee benefit, tax, and estate planning.
To become a CFP, you need to have a college degree, complete the CFP coursework, have at least three years of related work experience, and pass a six-hour board examination. Once you finished your convocation with a graduation gown you will prepared for your next step of a career.
CFP certification is often the choice for fee-based financial planners who want to have a larger-picture view of their customers' finances.
Most CFPs are in the US, but the CFP Board Of Standards has made the certification more globally relevant by setting up the examination outside the US with the Financial Planning Standards Board.
Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
While this is not a certification, earning your CPA license is a significant asset in business planning, tax preparation, and financial analysis. Other than a CPA, only a lawyer or enrolled agent can represent clients in front of the IRS.
Also, CPAs often achieve notable operational roles in large corporations. Some of the top occupations in finance with a CPA include chief financial officer and chief operating officer.
CPAs are highly knowledgeable in the double-system entry of accounting, which makes them experts in financial statement analysis.
Chartered Life Underwriter/Chartered Financial Consultant (CLU/ChFC)
The CLU and ChFC are two of the oldest certifications in the financial services industry. Both are rooted in the insurance industry and are offered by The American College.
Both certifications cover material that somewhat overlaps with the CFP examination, but insurance planning is stressed more. To attain the CLU and ChFC, you need to pass eight multiple-choice exams on estate planning, taxation, and investment management.
Note that both certifications are intended mainly for securities and insurance producers to boost sales via improved knowledge on many topics.
Three years of related work experience is required to sit for both examinations.
Chartered Mutual Fund Counselor (CMFC)
If your career is focused on mutual funds, you may want to earn your CMFC. To achieve this certification, you need to take a 10-week course and pass several examinations overseen by the College for Financial Planning.
The curriculum prepares you to understand the intricacies of the mutual fund field and related investment products.
Certified Management Accountant (CMA)
Professionals with their CMA are experts in management accounting and often work in corporate management accounting instead of private accounting. CMA holders use their skills in management and accounting to make critical financial business decisions for their employers.
If you decide to earn one or more of these desirable certifications, you'll likely enjoy better career prospects and salaries for years to come.

A University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center molecular epidemiologist is working on an initiated coronavirus study aimed at understanding why certain individuals and racial/ethnic groups are more prone to the infection, and may suffer more severe symptoms of COVID-19.
The study by Maarit Tiirikainen and Hawaiʻi-based genomics company LifeDNA, Inc. will initially focus on the multi-ethnic population of Hawaiʻi and genetic variants of the ACE2 gene as they relate to infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19.
"There have been major differences in the rates of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the severe disease between the different geographic regions since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, even among young individuals," said Tiirikainen, an associate professor at UH Mānoa.
"Epidemiological studies.indicate that populations carry different variants of the ACE2 gene. This variation in the gene coding for the ACE2 receptor may have an effect on the number of ACE2 receptors on the lung cells, as well as on how effectively the virus binds to the receptor. There may also be genetic differences in immunity and other important genes explaining why some people get more sick than others," she added.
The genotyping for the study will be done at the Kakaʻako Genomics and Bioinformatics Shared Resource, co-directed by Tiirikainen and Youping Deng, professor of quantitative health sciences at the UH Mānoa John A. Burns School of Medicine.
LifeDNA, Inc. expects the results of the study will help identify the most vulnerable individuals and populations ahead of time in future SARS virus-family outbreaks. The company also envisions pharmacogenomics collaborations on life-enhancing and lifesaving preventive therapeutics.

And here, this slot game focuses on money as its main theme. There is a little more to it than that though, because it is all to do with Funny Money, hence the title. You will see bags of money, a safe with a busted door and a gangster's moll too, so it becomes clear what the theme is here. There's also a newspaper as another symbol, but will you be making headlines with a big win from this game? What can you expect from the game's reels and paylines?The game from Wager Gaming has been designed to offer you 25 lines to bet on. You can also consider the likelihood of winning with each spin if you have five reels to move each time.

The State of Nevada has posted (here) some FAQs about the tampon tax in that jurisdiction:
When is the exemption effective?
The exemption became effective January 1, 2019.
If my business sells feminine hygiene products, what do we need to do?
Your business should no longer collect sales tax from consumers on purchases of feminine hygiene products.
What is considered a feminine hygiene product?
For the purposes of the tax exemption, and as established in statute, the definition of "feminine hygiene products" includes sanitary napkins and tampons. (NRS 372.7297 and 374.734)
Why are these products now exempt from sales and use tax?
The Sales and Use Tax Act of 1955 imposes taxes on the gross receipts from the sale and storage, use or other consumption of all tangible personal property in Nevada unless the property is exempt from such taxation. Because the Sales and Use Tax Act of 1955 was approved by the voters at a referendum election held under the Nevada Constitution, the Act cannot be amended, annulled, repealed, set aside, suspended or in any way made inoperative unless such action is also approved by the voters at an election. Question No. 2 was approved in the November 6, 2018, State General Election. The ballot measure amended the Sales and Use Tax Act of 1955 by creating an exemption from sales and use taxes for feminine hygiene products.
Does the exemption expire?
Yes. It expires on December 31, 2028. Under existing provisions of the Nevada Constitution, when any measure enacts exemptions from sales and use taxes, the measure must provide for a specific date on which the exemptions will cease to be effective.
Well done, Nevada. The no-nonsense advice for businesses is priceless. What should a business do if the business sells menstrual products? Don't tax them! Simple.
Hearts out to Nevada, where tourism-oriented businesses are suffering financially.
And speaking of Nevada, eyes on State Senator Yvanna Cancela, a grad-to-be of UNLV's Boyd Law School for great leadership to come!

UNITED STATES—Help Toni: I'm turning 65 in July and last week I tried to open a "My Social Security" account to enroll in Medicare online, but my Social Security account is blocked. Two years ago, someone falsely filed for a tax refund with my Social Security number and now anything to do with my credit report, Social Security number or IRS information is blocked.
Please explain how I can enroll in Medicare if I cannot open a "My Social Security" account? Jodie from Sacramento, CA.
Great question, Jodie: Big surprise hit America regarding applying online for Medicare with absolutely no warning! There is a new Social Security link to apply for Medicare online at www.ssa.gov/benefits/medicare to enroll for your Medicare to begin the 1st day of the month you turn 65.
Now when one is not receiving their Social Security check, turning 65 and you or your spouse are not working full-time with company benefits, then you should enroll in Medicare online. You will need to open a "My Social Security" account to apply for Original Medicare at least 90 days prior to turning 65 for your Medicare to begin the month you turn 65.
Someone turning 65 in June, had a Medicare consultation at the Toni Says office and when he was enrolling in Medicare, was locked out of his Social Security account because his credit/IRS file was locked due to someone also making a false IRS tax filing.
To apply online when your Social Security account is locked or because of IRS/Social Security account locked account or you cannot open a "My Social Security" account and have a suspended account…Click on the EXIT button (do not click off the page) and proceed to the Medicare enrollment application page. This information cannot be found on any Social Security information on "How to Enroll in Medicare."
If you cannot proceed with applying for Medicare without opening a "My Social Security Account" than what? Go directly to your local Social Security office and inform the Social Security agent that you are not able to open a Social Security account and are locked out and you need help.
Let's go over the process of enrolling in Medicare at www.ssa.gov/benefits/medicare. Social Security will ask if you have a have a "My Social Security account."
If you do have a "My Social Security account":
- Please have your user name and password handy to begin your Medicare enrollment in Parts A and/or B application.
If you don't have a "My Social Security Account":
- Jodie starting a "My Social Security Account" does not begin your Social Security check.
- Please register yourself and your spouse now for a "My Social Security Account" months before applying for Medicare to be prepared when you are ready to apply when turning 65 and need to apply for both Medicare Parts A and/or B with an account by visiting www.ssa.gov/myaccount.
- You should know your credit history because Social Security will pull credit information from your credit history to verify that this information is unique to only your and/or your spouse's credit file. Don't worry this confuses many. If you cannot open a My Social Security account, then click EXIT and proceed to the Medicare enrollment application.
- If your credit/Social Security number or IRS information has been compromised and the My Social Security account is locked, then click EXIT and proceed to the Medicare enrollment application.
For help enrolling in Medicare contact the Toni Says® office via email firstname.lastname@example.com. Toni King, author of the Medicare Survival Guide® is giving a $5 discount on the Medicare Survival Guide® Advanced book for the Toni Says® readers at www.tonisays.com.

Disney's Finding Dory made quite the splash at the box office. The film franchise that started in 2003 with Finding Nemo has made a pretty big impact in the worlds of family entertainment and marine ecosystems. Will Finding Dory impact marine life?
Disney is no stranger to movie-making magic. This is a massive economic industry. The films gross huge amounts of revenue, but so do the affiliated products like roller coasters, franchise series, and merchandise, of course. The Star Wars franchise is estimated to be worth around $30 billion alone. This includes Yoda cookie cutters, Chewy mugs, R2 mouse pads, and so on. Similarly, movies like Finding Nemo and Finding Dory encourage another type of "merchandise," the fish themselves!
In 2003 when Finding Nemo came out, the world saw a massive spike in the sale of clownfish. Disney's distribution hits nearly all parts of the globe which is why it's no surprise that demand for clownfish in personal aquariums was felt all over our planet. Having an aquarium is a great way to understand more about the many aspects surrounding fish and marine systems, but there's a trade-off to be considered as well.
Nearly 90% of the clownfish sold during the box office rein of Finding Nemo were pulled from the wild. This put a massive strain on the ecosystems where these clownfish were naturally found. Each species plays a vital role in their ecosystem and tampering with that fragile balance can have long standing impacts. Captured breeding programs have already been set up to address the demand of blue tang fish, like Dory. These programs have been put in place to avoid having large populations of these fish disappear from their natural habitats where they play a vital role in keeping the balance of that ecosystem.
Behavioral ecologist Culum Brown has a word for families excited about the movie and looking forward to their first attempt at a salt-water marine aquariums, "don't." A salt water aquarium is not the easiest for a beginner. Also, in addition to difficulty, there is an additional issue of legality. A lot of these exotic fish are collected illegally with environmentally destructive practices. The hope is that between captured breeding programs and enforcing strict guidelines on how these species are sold, we'll be able to minimize the environmentally harmful effects that were made noticeable in the Finding Nemo days.
But wait, there's more! These movies are not the only way we're seeing an impact on these precious marine systems. Every day we see more effects from climate change including new behaviors in species as well. In a recent study different species of clownfish were found living together. As the bleaching of corals continues, some of these fish are finding roomies and working out shared living arrangements. The dominant species would take the core (or safer) part and the subordinate species will settle for fringe living spaces. Observing this information is vital to knowing how these species may adapt to the many changes facing the world's oceans. These studies will also serve as valuable means by which conservationists can plan and coordinate efforts.
There are many problems that we seem to be facing here, but there is some hope as well. Environmental protection fans sent Disney a message, loud and clear. A petition was created to make sure that Disney will run important conservation information on the big screen before the movie starts. The goal here is for audiences to be brought up to speed on biodiversity and the role that these fish play in the natural world. The petition has almost reached its goal but needs a few more supporters. Get involved!

hi i know of a great herbalist in fla. her name is beatrice duphea. i have been helped by her ,my family , friends and strangers. tell her A. s. sent you. ph ###-###-####. you are doing a great job to find the culprit
Hi- My nearly 6 year old daughter has had chronic eczema behind her ear since she was 3 years old. We have tried many approaches to heal it: homeopathy (myself through books) - healed it for 6 months or so, gluten-free diet - only managed 3 weeks on it to no effect, steroid cream from my dh's dermatologist (reluctantly out of desperation) - caused it to spread to the other ear & scalp. I tend not to believe that a dermatologist can heal with steroids - they just supress symptoms. Steroids have never helped anyone in my family, in fact, made things worse. Now we just maintain the terrible oozing & flaking with a natural ointment (Burt's Bees Res-Q), but it never goes away completely, just helps soothe & prevent the extreme bleeding/oozing. She also takes probiotics, cod liver oil, sometimes evening primrose oil. We have just begun to eliminate cow dairy products as a last resort, replacing with goat dairy. Many have told me it could be cow dairy. I really had put off trying this because dd loves dairy items, but luckily, also goat (so expensive though!) Elimination diets are SO difficult because my dd is VERY particular about food and there is so little she will eat. I was thinking also to try a clay bath detox I have seen. Anyone been through this? Dd would love to have her ears pierced, but it's impossible the way her ear is now. Can anyone recommend an alternative health practitioner with proven success with eczema in children? We're leaning towards NAET, as recommended by my dd's doctor, but we don't know who to see - we're on a limited budget right now so a referral to someone who can definitely help would be appreciated. (to avoid trial and error) Thanks so much! A. PS - We also use unscented, pure soaps/shampoos, including laundry soap, dd showers 3x per week to minimize soap irritation.

Hi i am the mother of 12 year old twins and a 14 yr old. One of my twins has a problem similar. It started on her scalp and is around her ears as well. i found out about the Melaluca company and heard wonderful stuff about the Renew lotion. If my daughter uses it like she is supposed to it eliminates the problem. I love it better than anything ive ever used. They also have a shampoo as well.This company replaced me going to target or walmart. they have chemical free products i now dont worry about my kids helping me clean the house or having asthma flare ups. (Call me if you want more info. ###-###-#### L. cajias) I also have an herb farm. I grow different herbs , Calendula is used for skin problems too. i have that fresh out of the garden. If you are interested let me know and i will share info! L. Cajias- L.'s Edible Garden Escalon Ca ###-###-####
My nephew had really bad eczema. My sister couldn't get it under control with anything. I started selling Arbonne skin care products about 4 months ago and the baby care line is great for his eczema, he also uses the skin conditioning oil and rejuvanating cream and he hasn't had any problems with it since. I can send you some free samples if you would like to try it out and see if it works.
Has anyone raised the possibility that this could be a fungal infection rather than eczema? Fungal infections can look remarkably similar, and can be reluctant to clear up on their own. And steroids would not help a fungal infection at all. Since you've tried so many things, what's another topical cream, right? When I was a kid, I had a spot on my face that continually cracked and oozed, sometimes would heal, sometimes would come back, for years. My mom (who is a nurse) finally cured it with an over the counter anti-fungal cream.
Hello A.,
Are you familiar with Arbonne's products? They are botanically based, dermatologist & pediatrician tested. We have a baby line that works very well for eczema and is very gentle on the skin. I am an independent consultant and I can send a free sample pack for you to try. No obligation to buy but I would love to be able to help your daughter feel better (and get her to a place so she can get her ears pierced!!). Drop me a line if interested. You can also look at all of our products at arbonne.com.
Hi A.,
My brother had severe eczema for years as a kid (he's 34 this year and eczema free). It was caused by a milk allergy. My parents tried every version of milk available including goat milk. The one milk he could drink was non-fat powdered milk. I want to say they used "Keri lotion" or "Keri oil." It was really oily and clear. My own kids (one with milk issues) have not had eczema though.
Good luck!
I have had great personal experience clearing up eczema with blue chamomile essential oil. It is a little pricy, but you only need a drop a day rubbed on the eczema. I would recommend that you buy a quality rand like Simplers or Young Livingl It is great for all kind of skin things.
We had the same exact problem with my daughter. We also tried the steriod creams which only worked for a short time before the symptoms returned. We finally found Dr. Helen Thomas, an excellent dr. in Santa Rosa who practices NAET and Ayurveda. She can be reached at ###-###-#### or www.drhelenthomas.com We no longer have issues with eczema. Good luck!
I personally have had great success with flaxseed oil. You can mix it into food, you just can't heat it. Take it everyday. Also, licorce root is a great alternative to steriod creams. It is considered a natural steriod. I received all of this info from the herbalist at my local herb store. I never found any permanent success with the steriods from the determatologist.
My daughter's eczema is kept in check only by eliminating soy from her diet. We took her to an allergist, and she has no known allergies, but boy, does that soy trigger the eczema. It's really hard to eliminate because it's in pretty much every processed food, even bread.
good luck.
Try pure kukui nut oil. My daughter and I both have eczema and this has really helped us. There is no cure for eczema, just treatment, but I agree with you to stay away from steroids if you can!
I am an adult who had severe eczema as a child which included the eczema behind the ears. As an adult my eczema is pretty minimal. When I was a child, I saw dermatologists & used Cetaphil, phisoderm, neutragena soap (before anyone knew what neutragena was) & Alpha Keri bath oil (left a ring in the tub). These help with symptoms, but didn't really eliminate the eczema. What I learned when I became an adult was to never use deodorant soaps, stay away from wearing strong perfumes, not to use lotion except shea butter.
Regular Lotions are toxic to my skin. They cause sores even from a single use. I do not drink milk as I do also have a milk protein allergy. I use baby bath to bathe with. It is cheaper than hypoallergenic items and works just fine. It is the mildness that is important. Be careful that the detergent that you are washing clothes with is not especially perfumed. All free & clear is inexpensive & works well. These are simple things that I figured out on my own & work great. Also, I don't use strong air fresheners or carpet fresh type products in the home. None of my kids have had eczema. I think getting rid of the typical perfumed products might help. I was adopted so my adoptive mom didn't realize these items might be affecting me. Many people just think of smoke, pets and dust when it comes to people with allergies, eczema & asthma, but it can be more specific than that. Also, I agree that mainstream medicine often treats symptoms rather than the cause.
Good luck! R.
Hi A.,
My son has mild eczema (no oozing, just flaky and itches) on his legs and torso. I have managed to keep it at bay by using Aveeno's Baby Soothing Relief Moister Cream. Like you, I have tried so many things and this is the only cream that I found that works for him. Also, his soap, shampoo, and laundry detergent are all fragrance and dye free.
You can also try Omega3. One of the many wonderful things Omega3 is good for is reducing inflammation.
Anyway, I hope this helps and good luck.
I would suggest that you ask your pediatrician for a referral to a dermatologist -- they specialize in anything having to do with the skin, and if you aren't comfortable using medication on the rash (everyone, literally everyone, in my family has suffered from eczema and sometimes its takes trying a few different, prescribed ointments to find the one that works best for your particular type of eczema) he/she can still suggest the BEST homeopathic way to keep it under control. I would give you the name of the dermatologist I have seen almost my entire life, but she works out of Palo Alto here.
Taking advice from anyone BUT a dermatologist on your child's eczema is a risky thing - everyone has their own opinions on what works and what doesn't, but a dermatologist is trained and experienced on all varieties of this particular rash and is knowledgeable about nearly all the different treatments that can be used, and tailor it to your and your daughter's specific eczema needs. Skin is their specialty, and you won't find any other doctor, alternative or no, that knows more about skin - most dermatologists, unlike many pediatricians, are much happier to venture into the natural, homeopathic realm when treating skin issues because, well,sometimes nothing BUT natural treatment works for some people and their skin issues.
Call your insurance company or pediatrician and ask for a few different numbers of dermatologists in your area - call them, and see which one of them seems more your "style".
Oh, do I know eczema! My sweet 6 year old son has had it all over his body since he was just a newborn. We went through all the methods natural, and otherwise. We did try the NAET technique and had no result. It is very frustrating to spend so much money with no result! So I understand where you are coming from. I think trying the diary elimination is a good idea. We did a lot of eliminations as well.
The only thing that has helped my little guy, besides steroids is a high antioxidant juice known as Monavie. He took it for a little over a week and I was already noticing that I did not have to put steroid on him. He has now been off the steriods for about 2 months. He is not 100% better, but I would say 90%. He still flares up at times when we have not been consistent giving it to him.
Another great thing about Monavie is that it covers their recommended daily allowance of fruit/veggies. It also covers their RDA of antioxidants which can help deter many known diseases. It is also organic.
Hope this helps. Please feel free to email me with any further questions.
I have a light case eczema, and the soap I use makes all the difference. I can only use Caress (the good old pink stuff) nothing else or my eczema comes right back, even with gentle or pure soaps. Also I think kids tend to not rinse well enough behind their ears - even when they think they have.
So my suggestion: try a different soap and make sure behind the ears is rinsed with no residue. Good luck!!
My daughter and son had eczema, my daughter is 8 now but we tried so many things when she was young, including steriods which I was not crazy about either. I was determined to find something that worked for my kids and Xango has done amazing things for my children. My son and daughter no longer have eczema problems due to Xango, a totally natural cure. I started drinking Xango for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties and had heard it could have an amazing effect on eczema, it did for us. I would be happy to send you some information about it if you are interested in learning more. Have a great day.
Hi A..
It sounds as though you have tried all the "natural" remedies available to you. I have been using Kangen alkaline water for the past eight months and I have seen some amazing results personally and with many others I have shared the water with.
Disease cannot live in an alkaline ph body. First I would like to offer that I will share the 8.5 alkaline water to drink and the 2.5ph acidic water to treat your daughters eczema. I live in Windsor and I will be having a Water Awareness Gathering on Tues March 11. at 10:30 AM and you can get some water then if you would like...or sooner!
Here is my website so you can research this wonderful water. www.thewatertruth.com/connieleigh
and www.pureionizedalakalinewater.com and click on "atopic dermatitis"
In Japan, where they have used this water in hospitals for over 30 years they treat the body externally with the 2.5-5.5 ph acidic waters and the internal illnesses with the highly alkaline waters. I purchased the machine to help me with my Rheumatoid arthritis and it is 90%gone!!!
Please feel free to call me. I am a Windsor Mom.
There is an Ayurvedic Health Practioner named Derrick Pawo who sees clients in Los Gatos. Nt only is he a kind, compassionate person, his extensive knowledge of Ayurveda and QRA (muscle testing) work miracles in cases where nothing else seems to work. My experience with him has been life saving and he has worked with my friend to get rid of execma (it worked!). You can call to make an appointment with him at ###-###-####.
Good Luck!
Hi A.,
I have a wesite on here called mangosteen puregold , now I know you think a drink can't help this but we have a lot of testamonials or my phone number is on there we could talk and this is all natural. you don't have to work the business, to get this call we will talk I am a firm believer in natural products.
I had this. I was born with it all over my body, but had the behind the ears thing till I was ten or more. I finally cured it (and heavily in my scalp) with "Shaklee" lecithin tabs. I take them every day still, and it took a while to clear up, but hasn't recurred. Write me if you want more info. Shaklee is 100% natural whole reduced foods. No additives, hypoalergenic etc.
Dear A.,
I just happened to be looking for something concerning my grandson that I raise and I read about your little girls eczema behind her ear. It has to be so hard to have right behind the ear. Well, I started a business out of my home that helps families in the wireless age. I have seen from beginning to end.It took 6 months, but what is 6 months to clear her whole body. She even took pictures. It is a water system that structures water. It has two technoligies. For myself, my skin is so much nicer. The water does not go to your stomach
it goes directly to the cells. This water is compared to the Lords in France. The research is on my site. I will give that to you. I usually walk people through the site. It is much easier that way. My phone # is on the site, if you want to call me. mybiopro.com/dkh The reason I found this co.
because my we thought my grandson had ADD. The school wanted us to medicate him. With may tests, we found out that he does not have ADD. He was effected by EMF, electrical magnetic frequency. This was totally new to me. I never heard of it before. He now wears a pendant and we equipped our home with little chips on the game station, TV, computer ect. I donated one that plugs in to the wall to the school. IT covers 3000 square feet. His teacher says he no longer clicks he pencil on the desk or opens and closes his pencil box. He is also is sleeping much better. Anyway this company has the water. I have seen it help many people that have eczema, dehydration and going through Radiation. It is good for everyone.
Usually children do not need structured water. There body should do it on there own until about 18 years unless there body is compromised for some reason. One of the ladies that had eczema all her life until she found the water, is going through the channels through Eczema foundation. I not sure the name of the exact name. She does not want anyone to suffer and spend thousands of dollars on Dr. and creams as she

hello there!! sorry to hear that your daughter has such bad eczema---my son had the worst eczema all over his entire body--the worst was on his face. he has anaphylactic food allergies to milk and nuts---the milk caused part of his eczema so once he was off that it decreased but he still itched his legs and arms until they bled. what i have found that works the best in Renew lotion from a wellness company called Melaleuca. i have been using it on my son for over three years now---we just saw his allergist on friday and he gave me a huge kudos on how murphy's skin looks now. he showed me a picture of what it looked like when he first starting seeing murphy and i almost cried!! anyhoo, i hope that this helps. if you want more info on the lotion and dairy-free diet let me know!! have a wonderful day!! hugs T.
Have you considered acupuncture? Apparently it can be very effective with excema. My infant son has terrible excema but because he's so tiny and wiggly, I haven't tried it. I have spoken to a few adults who found acupuncture to be the only thing. Think everything you are doing and have done is the right path. So difficult. What about just smothering the ear with Aquaphor at night?
Have you tried Aquaphor? It doesn't seem like it should work because I think the majority of it is petroleum jelly, but for my family it seems like the 'miracle cure' - eczema (where moisture - not wetness - is really important), strange rashes, bumps, etc. My whole family has eczema and when breakouts occur (which is stress related), we use Aquaphor and Eucerin ORIGINAL lotion (not any other brand) and it clears up. [The Eucerin ORIGINAL has to be used because of the Mineral Oil - other brands don't use mineral oil; in fact, other Eucerin combinations don't work either!] This is what has helped us.
Pure shea butter is the ONLY thing that has worked for my 7 year old. We fought it for years until another mom turned me on to shea butter.
Hope it helps yours.
My 7 yr old daughter has had the same problem for almost 3 years. She also has dry, cracked skin in the creases of her ears. My favorite remedy is Vaseline. Her pediatrician and dermatologist said that there's really no cure for her eczema, just treatment. Some other lotions or cream gave her a burning sensation so I went back to the trusty Vaseline. (We did use steroids, too, but only for severe breakouts and for a limited time.)
My daughter's half-sister had the same awful problems when she was younger but now (at 15) just uses a daily moisturizer. I'm hopeful that my daughter will grow out of her eczema, as well. Oh! she was finally able to get her ears pierced this past December. We still need Vaseline occassionally but as long as we treat it as soon as it flares up, she's is comfortable.
Good luck!
Sorry to hear your daughter has eczema it is a hard thing to live with at times. I know I have had it since I was young. For me the only thing that works is a ointment called Betamethasone Dipropionate 0.05%. Now this ointment is a homonal cream and the strongest on the market. I know there are some that are very low or no hormon in them. As your child is young I would try some of the other ones instead. But only use the ointment ones the creams do not work.The creams fade fast and the ointments penatrate the skin better.
Also for me the weather changes are a trigger like right now I am flared up. Also peanut's or peanut butter,and stress is also a great trigger. The soaps you use are also somehting you need to watch. I use Dove it works for me. Some of the other soaps dry the skin out. Also lotions with any perfumes can make it hurt and burn. I use Hempz lotion. You can get it at planet beauty in the mall in Roseville.I know it is hard for you daughter to have. It was for me. I know it is hard and fustrating to deal with. I hope she will grow out of it that is a possablity.The dermatologist I went to was Roseville Dermatology on Pleasent Grove Blvd ###-###-####. They were good. They listened to me and helped me.I hope this helps. Good luck
I used to have that when I was a little girl, I had exzema on my forearms and behind my nees and my ears and when i was about 11 it moved to my hands but stopped being behind my ears and arms and nees, I still have it to this day, what i recommend is to cleanse the area with hypo allergenic soap, before you treat the area. also moisturize the area constantly because it is when it dries out it gets worse. Ask your doctor about desoximetisone 0.25% creme, it is a cream you use twice a day for two weeks, the exzema will never go away mind you but in between outbreaks use hydrocortizone 1% creme or ointment whenever you see dryness or irritation. you can get this at longs. desoximetasone does not have steroids infact desox. is an emollient creme base consisting of white petrolatum, purified water, isopropyl myristate, lanolin alcohols, mineral oil, and cetostearyl alcohol. Also just apply a thin layer rub gently. Keeping hydrated helps out too, so give your daughter lots of water and use aveeno products they have great lotions for exzema and soaps. Best of luck.. C. H.

This is a product delevoped by a mom whose daughter had bad exzema. I don't know much about eczema and don't know if it will help your daughter, but it might be worth checking out and reading the product history to see....hope it can help.
My niece has patches of eczema and at times they seems to be worse than others. She's 27 now and they seems to have subsided except for a few small patches. When she was growing up, we used T-Gel shampoo (Nutrogena brand, light blue box, dark carmel colored product, doesn't smell all that great but boy does it work!) which helped significantly. It wouldn't hurt to try this with your daughter. When shampooing her hair, leave it on a few minutes longer, then rinse and condition as normal.
My son has eczema. We also find that things work for a while and then they don't. His flare ups come from sevrere weather changes and food allergens.
I have two suggestions. First get your child tested for allergies. You can get a blood test if you don't want to have your daughter pricked. If my son has any form of corn (including corn starch, HFCS, or citric acid derived from corn)his skin shows it.
My second suggestion is EMU oil. wonderoil.com sells a dry lotion bar that works well and is easy to apply. The straight oil didn't work as well for us but some say it works for them.
Good luck!
Have you tried something as simple as olive oil? It works on my husbands eczema. Apply several times during the day, and at night.... works wonders.
hi, A., i have always had severe eczema and when i was younger i had terrible eczema behind my ear. i'd wash behind my ear with dhs shampoo or a teatree shampooo. then i'd dry it completely and put neosporin on it. before going to bed i'd wash behind the ear with just a wet cloth and again put neosporin. eczema is horrid and i agree with you regarding the steroids. good luck.
My son had chronic eczema as a toddler and I tried all the things you are trying and what worked for him in the end was not the steriod cream, but we eliminated dairy + added Juice Plus to his diet. It's fruit and veggie whole food supplement. I had such great results with my son that is one of the many reasons I share it with other mom's now. What I learned about eczema is that it has to do with an the immune system and one of the published studies done on JP+ shows it helps balance out the immune system. You can check it ____@____.com will be six next month and has been eczema free for almost 3 years now :) Another great thing I learned to use for eczema is olive oil. Every night when he got out of the tub I would rub it on his legs before I put his jammies on.
Hope this helps and good luck!
Look for a good Homeopathy - one with CCH as the designation, with experience with children. Homeopathy can treat rashes, cradle cap,eczema and other skin conditions.
Suppressing skin conditions in infants and children (creams, cortisone, etc.) will always drive the issue to deeper layers...resulting in later allergies, asthma, etc.
Homeopathy is a 200 year old medical science that will gently, effectively and quickly handle these types of things. It's gentle for babies and children!
Be sure to find a Homeopath who specializes in advanced dosing methods using water, not dry pellets.
For many more articles on homeopathy for Moms, see the websites listed below.

Wow, you have tried a lot of things and it's great you have done your research and have tried things on your own. My daught, 15, has recently started getting ezcema; she is a swimmer and was extrememly embarrassed because everyone could see it!!! The doctor gave us steriods that were useless. However, we have had alot of luck using Arbonne's Baby Care products; the irritation has gone WAY down, in fact, it's barely there and she no longer is constantly itching and touching it. Oh, yeah, we also used their skin conditioning oil on it to take away the flakey skin that came after it started going away; it helps with scars, too.
You said your resources were limited; they have a 45 day money back guarantee with their products. So, if you used it and didn't like it, no problem. Money back, no questions.

Have your daughter tested for allergies. I have moderate to severe eczema, and it has been linked by an allergist to a sensitivity to dust mites. I can usually control it with a combo of being really attentive to washing everything on my bed and taking something like Zyrtec or Claritin if I get a flare up.
I am a alternative healing practitioner of many modalities. I have already had a lot of success with psoriasis. I have seen a kidney stone melt away that was the size of a golf ball. I know that absolutely anything is possible.
I myself had candida overgrowth, and I know that even though you didn't see immediate results with your dietary changes that you are on the right track. Staying away from milk will help. But it took me learning energy healing for me to be completely free from allergies.
What I do is completely safe and I can do it long distance (love knows no boundaries).
Call or email if you want to set up a session. ###-###-####
Love, L.
I used pure baby eczema care cream for my daughter. She also has eczema, you have to order it online so stock up. I noticed when we stop using it her skin flares up again. The steriod creams will work to target certain areas, but the pure baby cream is easy to apply all over the body if needed. Oh it's all natural. www.purebaby.com
Good Luck!
Have you ever tried Emu Oil? check out the website www.dremu.com and read about it. but look at other sites/businesses if you decide to buy it. that is because it is cheaper i noticed. i use it under my eyes to heal when i get a reaction to a new makeup/eye shadow, etc and it flares up. it heals faster. I have a sensitivity to products. Anyway, it boasts to help with a wide spectrum of skin problems (chronic and acute reactions). Good Luck.

My husband suffered with this for years. Finally he tried a lotion called Elocon and it's GONE!!! Hurray! The doctor was reluctant to prescribe it saying it would not work, but it did, and in just a few days it was gone. Now he used it only when he starts to feel it coming on and it goes away overnight. What a blessing! Good luck!!!
Hi A.,
I can't say that I can relate to your issue, but I have been working in dermatology for over 2 years now. From what Ive seen, in children and adults, it sounds as though your daughter may just be predisposed to having a sensitivity to her skin. Whether that may be eczema or some other form of chronic condition, she will probably always have to be careful what she comes into contact with. Steroids do help in general, but if you have to a very thorough and experienced dermatologist and haven't had any luck, you may want to go see more of a specialist at UCSF or Stanford. Not sure where you reside, but once you tap out the ideas of your general derm M.D. they should be refering you onto someone more specialized then they are. Has she seen an allergist before you take her off all dairy products? May want to consider that first. Good luck to you. Hope she improves soon. Sometimes with a condition of eczema or psoriasis, it comes down to maintenance therapy once the fire is put out/controlled. It could be a life-long problem that you/she will just need to keep under control with the correct therapy/treatment.
Hi A.,
My girls did not have the eczema behind the ear, but did have it under their eyes and inside elbows. I tried some of what you did as well, but really had no luck. Our seccess came in the form of a hand cream, that is nothing out of the ordinary, but is not easily found in the US, I'm afraid. It is from Mexico. I have found it at Longs Drugs (certain ones not all) and some small stores that cater to the Spanish speaking population. It is called Atrix. The lid says -----atrix Clásica Protege y suaviza crema para manos con glicerina------- translation>>>>-----atrix clasic protects and softens hand cream with glycerin------ I showed it to our pediatrician and he was surprised it was nothing out of the ordinary. It comes in a container like the flat round one Nivea cream can be purchased in, and is bright yellow with a green lid. The lettering on the yellow part is green and on the lid it is white and yellow. I've also stuck to Dove body soap (original), because other soaps seemed to make it worse. My other daughter responded much more favorably to Aveeno lotion, but it has to be the one with Menthol, because the other varieties didn't help. I have made no other changes to what we do, eat or use. My daughters are now 9 and 11 and have not had a problem with the eczema. Now and then a little itch starts to bother them at the particular sites, but as soon as we use the lotion or cream it clears up. The 11 year old started to show signs of the ezcema before she was even a year old. It was terrible. My mom used the hand cream all the time and out of desperation, my husband used it on our daughter only to find it worked!! I hope this helps you. Let me know. Good luck!
We use vaseline on my sons eczema and it works great. We slather his up a couple of times a day and right after the bath whenever he has a flare up.
Are you sure it is eczema? My son had eczema when he was a baby and the thing that got rid of it almost completely was Rx Desonide cream, cetaphil lotion followed by aquaphor or vaseline to seal it in. The lotion and vaseline needs to be done 4 times a day or more. A quick daily shower with cetaphil cleanser immediately followed by the above regimen. Then I gave benadryl everynight. Within a few weeks of this it mostly went away. Now I just do the bath and moisturizer (although I am suppose to do it more frequently). The other thing that I have started doing is eliminating eggs, cow milk, peanuts and other nuts and shellfish from my son's and my diet (since I am breastfeeding) which has helped immensely. It takes more than a few weeks. At least a couple of months. They say they may out grow it.
My 13 month old is plauged with eczema on both arms and knees and her face. The only thing I've tried that has worked is Emu Oil. It helps reduce the inflamation and is a great moisturizer. It can be expensive, but a little dab will do you. The cheapest I found was in the vitamin store for $11 an oz. on sale.
My ear lobes were not only white and scaly, they would weep a clear liquid and sometimes crack and bleed. An acupuncturist noticed them and told me she had another patient who used to look like that. I asked how she got rid of it.
She said she went off wheat. I loved wheat and could hardly imagine. However I had a blood test for allergies and I was allergic to all glutens and dairy. I went off all of it (weeks is not long enough. It takes months) . I stayed off for years and then found I could eat small amounts without any trouble. Now I no longer test allergic.
Nowdays there are many wheat-free, gluten-free and dairy free products available to make this easier. When I did it, it was quite a challenge because our diet is so based on wheat and dairy.
You are right about the creams just suppressing it. The skin is the biggest respiratory organ of the body. It is trying to breathe out something the body does not want. LISTEN.
Good Luck.
A good dandruff shampoo containing coal tar may work for her, it did for my son, who had a terrible flaking, scaling condition on his scalp. I would put him in the bath, wet his hair, apply the shampoo, and leave it on while he played. I hope this helps.
