]]> Comment on Persistence of Detergent Residues by autumn1234 http://solveeczema.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/persistence-of-detergent-residues/#comment-126 autumn1234 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 05:05:48 +0000 http://solveeczema.wordpress.com/?p=204#comment-126 I'm interested in your "technique" for washing fruits and vegetables. Also, I read on your site that your son reacted to poultry. Do you have a method of preparing store bought poultry or do you just avoid it? We have tried to eliminate detergents from our home environment but still don't see the improvement I had hoped for. I think I might be too lax in the food area. Thanks.

]]> Comment on Master list of bar soap recommendations by amykinslynn http://solveeczema.wordpress.com/2007/10/08/master-list-of-soap-recommendations/#comment-122 amykinslynn Mon, 06 Apr 2009 15:02:26 +0000 http://solveeczema.wordpress.com/2007/10/08/master-list-of-soap-recommendations/#comment-122 Hi, I read your solveeczema website a hundred times in the past couple weeks, and am implementing a switch to pure soap. I hope I don't scare you away with my questions, but I don't know who else to ask (that would have any idea what I am talking about). I would love to know your thoughts on Dr.Bronner's liquid castille soap: baby, unscented- for use as a dish soap. Fragrances and essential oils are a big trigger for me, so a lot of products are ruled out. Have you found a fragrance free dishsoap that foams or have any tips on dish washing with soap? Also, do you have any experience with Savon de Marsielle's olive oil bar soap (no fragrance)for body washing? Do you have any tips on hair conditioning and hair washing (getting the soap out)? On bedding: any suggestions for non- chemical/ detergent pillows? On clothing- cottons made without chemicals? I have been steadily developing eczema over the years anywhere clothing touches, and am wondering, now that my clothes are washed in soap and the eczema is still there, whether it is the fabric itself or the rubbing or the sweat.. any ideas? Thank you so much. I am 24 and have had eczema since I was 10. I believe that detergents are a big trigger for me... I am trying to get this under control. I would appreciate any help you could offer and am so grateful to you for giving me the idea to switch to soap. I agree that a scientific approach needs to be taken to rule out the causes. I am wondering now.. if it isn't soley detergent, what else could it be?

Since we've completed the Kumon cutting workbooks, completing these crafts has become my daughter's favorite activity. The projects range from cute to truly amazing. I'm sure we're helping Canon's bottom line with all the paper and ink we're using, too--we have a Canon printer! I really appreciate you posting this link.

I no longer recommend Dove anyway, though it remains open whether I will again in the future. I wish I could do more. I am so sorry, but I am almost unable to correspond over my site these last several months. The medical appeal I mentioned in my blog will now be going to judicial review. I'm hoping I'll be able to devote a little more time to the site in a few months. I'd also like to set up a discussion group so that people who have gone through it can answer the questions of other moms and dads. Some of the parents who have used the site are incredibly knowledgeable after going through it. Come to think of it, can anyone help Autumn? Hi Autumn,

I've spent a lot of time trying to decipher the information/websites you provided but I just don't "get it". Wouldn't Sodium lauroyl isethionate be classified as a detergent since it's Sodium something something -ate? But on a previous post about dove soap it was listed on the "okay" list. I have a million other questions and I hate to bother you but I don't know who else to ask. Please respond to autumnleavitt@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance!

The toothpastes seem great! I have never come across this brand. I may recommend it to my local health food store. Unfortunately for me personally, they are not an option as I am extremely sensitive to sorbitol. The Tom's of Maine are the only brand I've found that have no detergent, no sorbitol, but do have the option of fluoride. Plus it's a readily available brand nationwide. But thanks for posting the lead for other people! AJ Hi Suebeehoney
