what causes Diaper Rash
Non Painful Diseases
A baby's rash is an example of the white blood cells being
preoccupied. When chemicals are used in the diaper, the white
blood cells go after the chemicals and let the yeast grow. Drying
the baby's skin helps since the yeast must have dampness. This
should be done with air, sunlight and a heat lamp, not with more
chemicals! Certainly not with cortisone containing salves that
further reduce the immune competence of white blood cells.
Use a heat lamp for five minutes at a time, several times a
day. Switch to cloth diapers; do not bleach them with chlorine
bleach, the residual chlorine trapped in the cloth is a chronic
irritant, setting the stage for another rash and future chlorine-
allergy. Cloth diapers should be sterilized, not bleached. Use the
hottest water your laundry system is capable of producing. Add ½
cup borax for the washing process. If you have homemade
Lugol’s iodine (made by your pharmacist or by yourself, see
Recipes), add a tsp. to the wash or rinse. Vinegar is a yeast in
hibitor, add it to the rinse. Dry diapers at the hottest setting. Dry
to kill. Kill all the yeast spores in the diapers.
To strengthen the baby's skin against future infection, do not
put chemicals on the skin. Do not use any soap, fragrance, bath
oil, ointment or lotion. Do not use cotton balls or baby wipes. Do
not give a daily bath. Wash bottoms gently, with borax followed
by a vitamin C rinse. Vitamin C is acid and is our natural healing
agent but it will sting on a broken skin surface. Use it as dilute as
necessary to be tolerated. Zinc oxide is another natural healer
because it competes away the iron that fungus and bacteria need
for their reproduction. Never use commercially available zinc
compounds though, simply purchase your own zinc oxide
powder, mix it with cornstarch and keep in a large old salt
shaker, dust it wherever there is moisture or fungus growth.
