[LS, Lichen Sclerosus] STOP USING WESTERN MEDICINE!!!!!! ALMOST CURED!
Posted , 142 users are following.
Hello ALL! PLEASE CONTINUE READING IF YOU WANT TO STOP YOUR lichen sclerosus...
So I have posted on here before, hectic flare up/ anal fissure/ uti you name it and have had lichen sclerosus for about 8-9 motnhs now. This being the worst month of my life, I got a biopsy in feb came back neg for cancer and was perscribed Celestone a steroid to put on which made it so so much worse and progressed my disease. Then I got an anal fissure from the lichen (HELL). Anyways went to a new gyno and he couldnt do a biopsy cause it was too enflamed and gave me advantan fatty cream to try and said to stop steroids. THEN
I finally decided to go to a Chinese Medicine Doctor in Sydney to try my luck as I was becoming desperate and feared I would never be able to have sex again with my amazing boyfriend of 2 years (I am 24). LONG STORY SHORT he had never heard of lichen sclerosus and did the standard chinese logical medicine exam (tounge, pulse, thyroid ect) turns out, my immune system was not functioning properly and my hormones were out of wack thus causing everything else in my body to be weak and allow for viruses and chronic diseases to attack my body very easily. He said my circulation was horrible and my digestion was not ideal for the nutrients were not being distributed throughout my body (I am so healthy its rediculous so I found this quite a shock!!)
Anyways, had two 'treatments' with him and he said to STOP using anything western medicine gives me aka steroids and antibiotics. NO NO NO these are your worst enemy. Westen medicine is taught to treat what is enflamed, not the REASON why it is enflamed. He said one set of antibiotics can ruin your whole body system. So he gave me a cream that has chinese symbols all over it to apply to my lichen sclerosus, and brain/circulation herbs & toxic removal herbs at night & hormone balancing herbs to treat my immune system and get my balance back. He said if I get my blood count (white) back up and get my body balance back my lichen will simply "dissapear"
I was hesitant of course to stop my gyno's orders and ditch the steroids for good, yes it was frightening, do I trust a little chinese man in a dingy shop who has reputable reviews of natural cures world wide? I chose YES. and for the past 9 days I have only been using the chinese herbs and the creams and limiting my gluten/sugar to help the toxins get out of my body. AND
I sit here now. I have no itching, I have no pain, I can ride my bike, I went on a RUN today, I had sex again! I feel amazing and I feel mentally how I did about 3 years ago (NOT STRESSED AND ANXIETY FILLED) It is still not COMPLETELY healed but I am getting CLOSE GUYS. This is insane. My skin down there is becoming revujanated. I am never putting steroids down there again!!!!!
Remember, if steroids have been helping you, they are simpoly treating the symptoms NOT the disease which I know will 100% claim is an autoimmune problem mixed with hormone imbalances and stress. So guys please try a naturopath, I know its hard. But I am getting better everyday and at this rate (I know everyone is different) but I rekon I could completely rid myself of this horrible disease FOREVER. Inbox me if you would like more details. I AM SO SO HAPPY and just want everyone with this horrible disease to have hope that YOU CAN GET RID OF IT! And of course I still use chinese medicine with the "oversee-ing" of a gyno but I choose to use natural NOT steroids that are going to make me have further complications later in life.
Other things to help all you ladies:
MANUKA HONEY- USE IT ON YOUR FLARE UPS (I use +20 grade for extra strength) Do not use any other honey for wounds or medical purposes as it will be GRADE A and will cause further harm.
EMU OIL- MOISTURIZER YES. Important to note that emu oil alone WILL NOT cure or reverse lichen sclerosus but will be an amazing natural moisturizer.
COCONUT OIL- use it on your genitals. you will have a young vagina forever. Drink/ eat 2-4 tablespoons a day you will surprise yourself it is a natural viral stopper for the body. make sure it is EXTRA VIRGIN and organic.
VASELINE- protector from peeing (if have flare up) and helps stop the vaguna opening from getting tighter (THIS WORKS) I apply every day now and can also be a lube!
RASBERRY LEAF TEA- YOUR LIFESAVER. Drink this stuff everyday. It tones the uterus linning and is AMAZING for your digestive system, it also gets your hormone levels back to normal in about 5 days of drinking 2-3 cups a day.
There are more natural remidies which have been mentioned on this site, but in general you guys need to make sure you get heaps of sleep or your body will never recover. ALSO I only wash with emuaid Soap in the shower (bum/vag) and it is the only thing that doesn't sting for me (I have tried everything).
I HOPE this helps you guys. I will chekc back in, in another week to let you know If I am actually cured, but at this rate I believe it will be. My bits down there have never looked this good, white almost gone, wounds almost completely gone!! (had sores for 4-5 months at a time) and my pink color is coming back! My swelling is completely GONE!!! My chinese doctor said I have decreased the swelling by 68% in 5 days. I am just so excited. Stay hopefull guys xxx Dsauce

Stop eating anything with citric acid, dextrose and other corn 'products'. This healed me. Now when I have a flare up I can track it back to what I ate. I had a dextrose drip in the hospital and had awful itching, tearing of vulva and perineum and painful sex and what seemed like temporary narrowing of the vagina. This is the event which lead me to a corn allergy website and led me to figuring this puzzle out after 20 years of searching. I have a terrible reaction that IS diagnosed as LS when I eat citric acid (not lemons or limes but the synthetic kind they use in food processing which is black mold grown on corn).
I still keep my clobetosol on hand for major flare ups but if I feel a dripping feeling like ovulation, a light moisture coming down my vagina headed to dampen my outside lady parts I just stuff some (non-chlorinated) tp there so the moisture doesn't effect me on the outside. Look up dioxins and toilet paper and tampons.

Would that include citric acid in vitamins or Now Real Food brand?

For me it's anything labeled "citric acid". I'm okay with things that use lemon juice to do the same thing, retain color and bright flavor in food. From what I understand when they manufacture citric acid for food processing (it's also in everything from supplements-so good catch!- to toothpaste and shampoo) by obtaining a black mold from a corn substrate. Its too expensive to use real citrus. I'm honestly not sure what gets my symptoms activated, the corn, the fact that the corn might be genetically modified and there for sprayed with round up, or the mold part. All I know is that I had LS symptoms since 1994 and when I had my son in 2013 I figured it out that it wasn't a disease at all but a reaction. I wonder how many diseases are really food reactions.
I read every label and avoid citric acid always and I am symptom free when I eat really clean and don't eat out. I like to eat out so now that my symptoms are pretty much in check I eat at clean restaurants, ones I know make most of their food from scratch and avoid things I know generally have citric acid in them when packaged (tomato sauces, ketchups, margarita and other citrus like mixers).
For many years between 2006-now as I increased my health with a gluten free, organic and local farm raised meat diet....but it took me quite a while to stop discounting citric acid as something that sounded like citrus and therefore harmless. Our health food coop has it in so many products that the store would probably be left with about 25% of the food in it if someone removed all those products from the shelf. It makes sense that we would react to it. Too much of any substance is not good for the body.

Citric Acid is even in store-bought Hummus!

Hashimotos can also be healed with diet change. I fully believe in diet change. I'm making homemade hummus right now for that very reason! Check out paleo auto immune diets, gap diet or just plain paleo to get started. I like the idea of a plant based diet too but that often includes eating grains to get some protein and there is a lot of junk available if you try to be vegan or vegetarian (soy based products). Time to start cooking ladies, your LS will thank you by going away :0

The other thing I admit I think healed my LS is using natural toilet paper (don't worry you won't need to use scratchy brown stuff). Dioxins and other chemicals plus fragrances in TP are not good for the lady parts. Tampons and pads are even worse. I always get a wrecked perineum when wearing main brands of pads. I use a natural tampons, bleach free. I changed to natural value TP brand many years ago and even bring some rolls while traveling, I know i react badly when traveling and I think it's more than just the diet change (eating what family eats). It could also be that as the skin gets broken and sensitive from my citric acid, maltodextrin, dextrose reaction (these are the 3 worst preservatives/additives for me), I call it leaking vagina, then wiping lets more of the bad bleach chemicals into the skin and causes more irritation. I bring my clobetosol when traveling for flare ups even though I rarely need it at home.
I've given a lot of thought to all this as you can tell. And I've done many eliminations to my personal care products and diet to figure it out. I've had these symptoms since I was 19....I'm 47 now. I had my son at age 41, shortly after the dextrose drip C-section when inside my vagina became tight and painful during sex (a symptom I had never suffered but often read about in LS support groups) and my labia, perineum and rectum seemed ripped all to shreds even though I didn't have a vaginal birth. This is what led me to research dextrose (corn sugar) allergy and come across the link to corn and corn products. I got kind of mad that the stuff is in everything and so started boycotting buying products with corn derived ingredients. At this point I was already considered a health nut and corn syrup or HFCS were a part of my diet. It is for most people on a budget and who haven't started down the health kick path so it makes me believe even more that eliminating most corn (I say most because eliminating all is nearly impossible- see corn allergy girl website) will heal a lot of health issues for people. Especially us with L.S. which buy the way I do not consider myself to have this as a disease anymore. I just consider it a name given to a set of symptoms that I have proven can be eliminated.

Hi, I have just been diagnosed with LS, Before Christmas I cried everytime going to bathroom, unbelievable pain. I eventually went to hospital and they gave me steroid cream. My doctor, referred me to a gyno but I have to wait 6 months from now. How do you survive. I am 59 years old. No sex with my husband. What can I do now. I see many things like coconut oil emu oil. I live far away from any large city in CANADA. The doctor said steroids forever and there is no cure, wow. My life has changed. This is confusing. I would love to find a Chinese doctor or medicine. Does anyone know how to find them in Canada,

Also what exactly will steroids do to my body over time. Doctors say there is no other choice. I want to find another option for LD. Thx

ESTHER, You are only using a little bit and this will reduce over time. It does improve and change as the years go by. I now only use the ointment a few times a week. I have had LS for many years and it takes a while to diagnose in the first place so probably have had at least 20 years. It is nowhere near as bad as it first was, if that is any consolation. I use advantan fatty ointment as the main one and dermeze for the moisturiser which also shields the skin. I don't do any of the gimmicky things and have been attacked for that on here in the past. I have absolute confidence in my specialist team at a leading Melbourne hospital who have looked after me for many years now. They tell me not to wet the area too much as the dermeze shields the skin and they don't want me soaking etc. There are worse things and you will be able to resume relations with your husband, just let him know so he understands. I think women are different too from men as far LS is concerned. Maybe, also, people differ from each other. Find a good specialist team if possible. GYNO plus dermo as that is what I have at my clinic.
Please anyone who does not agree with me don't say anything as I don't come on here because of the abuse.

i personally find soaking in hot water ( as hot as you can bear each night for 10 minutes works better than any cream. naturally and efficient, brings circulation to the area, improves the condition, i am so happy that it works

I cannot use the high dose steroids--makes everything worse and get fungal yeast and bacterial lesions from this --only low dose steroids with triple zinc ointment helps for me! Will try the hot soaks! Also low inflammation/Mediterranean diet helps--most of my problem is on the trunk of my body and peroneal area very disfiguring--have noticed on rare occasion a plaque will disappear. Am sure best way to treat is from the inside out but so far just haven't heard how to eliminate this..

I went to a alternate healing because where I live in Canada there are no Chinese doctors, that I am aware of as doctors. But I did go to this other natural Dr who also studied in California for 5 years. I got some bio feed back (modern Chinese techniques) and he said that my source of my problem is triggered by yeast and fungal. He explained all this to me and he has helped many women with lsd. He told me to take 3 ADP and 3 Caprin supplements a day with food. Then I take 2 lecithin to help the liver flush out the yeast. Then for older women, I take grape seed oil, 3 a day. I never went back to any steroids. This eliminated the itching. Then he also said to stop eating refined sugar as much as possible, so now I use honey molasses and only cane sugar. the man saved my sanity. never going back to steroids. do any of you read what steroids do you your body. it should be the last resort treatment.

These are supplements that I take. ADP and CAPRIN are available via USA. I order them from a company from Biotics Research which are quality products.Because of my age, and menoposal I also take Black Current too. Anyone close to Manitoba can contact me if they want my Doctor detail.
