what causes lichen planis and what can be done about it?

Answer 1

Lichen Planus is probably not caused by any one thing but rather

This link several cofactors such as poor dietary choices, mineral deficiencies, chronic dehydration, toxins from antibiotics, vaccinations, medicinal drugs, heavy metals such as aluminum, mercury, lead and environmental contaminants. . Combined, many of these multiple conditions may block the intestinal tract, congestion of many toxin elimination systems of the body and lead to often painful inflamation of the skin in the form of flat, dark purple bumps in many areas of the body.or sores in the mouth or genitals.

This link http://www.medicow.com/topics/Lichen-planus says there is no cure however if the body there is no cure however many people have been cured of Lichen Planus by their own body.

Give your body what it needs and it will respond. I would start with the water cure. Drink 6-8 glasses of distilled water each day with a pinch of unrefined sea salt. This will rehydrate and remineralize the body.

I would eliminate dairy and wheat based(glutens) from my diet to see if either of these foods. Imagine there are several types of people in the world and you may be one of millions of people whose body is not supposed to have dairy or wheat.

I would take an alternate daily bath in cool water with several tablespoons of unrefined sea salt and add a drop of wild oregano oil and on the first day and the the next day take a bath in cool water with 2 cups of inexpensive grocery store apple cider vinegar with one drop of wild oregeno oil. Repeat this process during flare ups.

I would consider taking the homeopathic treatment's Arsenicum Album for itching, St John's Wart, and Arsenicum Iodatum. I would also consider taking a good B Complex Vitamin.

Eat more raw vegetables and fruits.

Eat walnuts, almonds, and small amounts of Brazil nuts each day.

Sunstitute walnut oil for other cooking oil.

Drink a glass of apple juice three times a day with a tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar witha dash of cinnamon three times a day.

These different healing modalities may provide some answers but the true answer is to cleanse the body of toxins, get at least 30 minutes of sunlight each day, eat more fruit and vegetables, drink lots of clean mineralized water and become conscious of your bodies needs.

Answer 2

Lichen planus is an inflammatory disease that usually affects the skin, the mouth, or sometimes both.

The cause of lichen planus is not known, however there are cases of lichen planus-type rashes (known as lichenoid reactions) occurring as allergic reactions to medications for high blood pressure, heart disease and arthritis. These lichenoid reactions are referred to as lichenoid mucositis (of the mucosa) or dermatitis (of the skin). Lichen planus has been reported as a complication of chronic hepatitis C virus infection. It has been suggested that true lichen planus may respond to stress, where lesions may present on the mucosa or skin during times of stress in those with the disease. Lichen planus affects women more than men 3:2, and occurs most often in middle-aged adults. Lichen planus in children is rare

At the moment it's not financially viable for me to support any cause, and in the past the most I've done is sponsor a dog through The Dogs' Trust. I have no interest in supporting any type of research cause, especially those which involve vivisection.
