I was reviewing some posts on EverythingDoTerra Google Group and saw
your submission last July about a friend with PCT. The symptoms
reminded me of a problem my granddaughter had while visiting a few
weeks ago. I posted it with pictures on www.EverythingEssential.me
under Impetigo and Ecthyma, the tab Procedures. There were very ugly
skin blisters and when we finally went to INTERNAL GX Assist it was
healing immediately and gone in a week.
The symptoms for PCT sound very similar. But, I read some on PCT and
my 'take away' is that there is an enzyme deficiency, that then causes
excess porphyrins to accumulate in the liver and these then are
expelled by the liver through the skin causing the symptematic lecions
on the skin. I am not a medical professional but that is my lay
understanding of what I read. That suggests to me that there are
three levels to use oils/oil products.
1) the skin symptoms: as you have done with healing oils for the
skin such as lavender or geranium that may provide some ease in the
discomfort
2) the overload of porphyrins in the liver: The cleansing protocols
including GX Assist address this but more importantly those cleanses
that are for the liver, etc. Hence the new doTERRA Zendocrine seems a
natural for this. Also there are a number of liver cleanses that have
been discussed on the Google Group and are on www.EverythingEssential.me.
3) the root cause seems to be the enzyme deficience. I know very
little about this but I do know Dr. Hill and Rob Young's discussion on
the new product TerraZyme and how many Enzyme supplements were in this
protocol.
If I were that guy I would start taking the TerraZyme, I would do a
Zendocrine protocol, and then use healing topical oils to regenerate
the damage done to the skin, (geranium, helicrysum)
I know this is very late and you probably have figured all this out
but ...
hope it helps, Rex
