Skin Condition: 7-y-o son with atopic dermatitis

 After 4 years on and off and 3-year severe suffering, my son, 7-year-old and 5 months old now, is now totally cured. It's simply to see the right doctor with right cure.. under God's help to introduce us this nice right doctor. We live in Taipei. The doctor also lives in Taipei. Fly over for a couple days to get cured shall be worthwhile. I know how bad you or your family want to stop the itching. That's why I am posting this. I am a working woman. But if you need some simple translation for traveling, I'd love to help as I have received a lot of help from people at this forum. The doctor's medicine is not expensive (we are covered by Taiwan insurance plan, so I don't know how much for foreigners, but you can call to check before you plan to come. I guess cost shall be under US$80 per week). He speaks English as he studied (or post-doc research or taught, I am not sure) in School of Medicine, The Johns Hopkins University before. Dr. Cuo-jen Wang (I don't know how he spells his English name, but Chinese pronouciation sounds like so) retired from National Taiwan University College of Medicine. He is the top professor in Genetics. He is very nice to answer all questions. Here is his phone number. <details removed>Here is my email address: <removed>I will try to answer your question when I see your email related to this topic. I wish you all stop the itching problem as soon as possible. I am happy that I insisted to see this doctor as my husband was kind of tiring of all different trials. We did try everything you can name it. Most of them are very very expensive. I wish all us luck~~~

Hi, it's A-ji again. Some of you may hestitate as much as I did before. When I ordered some 'special' ointments from websites, which shown pictures of kids about before-n-after, I did expect magic happening to us. The result was not pleasing as no improvement, some even worse. The worst was I hurt my son again to let him down. He was actually losing a lot of confidence. He talked back to me about some other stuff and used his skin problem to 'prove' that I was not always right, or saying I was not always honest to him. Of course, I was heart-broken. But can't do nothing. Until weeks ago we met Prof. Wang. Prof. Wang is not a dermatist. He is a professor in Gentics. He does not use any allergy theory to cure patient (at least not my son). I worried if he would subscribe some medicine like steroids to cause a lot side-effects. But NO. His medication is all plant-based. If it's some short-term effect, I don't think without any ointment/cream, my son's skin will be shining now. Also, I am under his medication to cure my 'production system problem' (pelvic inflammatory disease) as I removed one ovary before. I have not known the result of it, but I feel very good about my health condition now. My skin has been shining these days like 5 or 10 years ago. Before the treatment, I used to drink a lot of tea and coffee to stay awake in the afternoon or to help my migraine. I have not touched tea or coffee for weeks, only twice I felt tired in the afternoon, and those two days I was exhausted as too many errands. My English is not good. I may mis-use some medical terms in the description. But I just want to let you know it works on my son. My son speaks some English as we lived in LA for 3 years. If you really want to hear the testimony from him, I think he will do it. Leave your message to me, and I will let you know when we can be reached and what number to call. We committed ourselves once he is cured, we will try to help as many people as possible. I know you may have tried a lot of different treatments as we did; and you worry this is another scam. So, I can only try my best to let you know what I have done in this forum. To try or not is your choice. I tried my best and I swear to God that I will not have any financial benefit from any of you. Simply translation is free for you to ease your travel to Taipei. If you need special travel agent service, I can give you a couple travel agents that I used before. But Go to Expedia shall be fine to settle all. I will only benefit from that you make my commitments fulfilled. If you see some of my old-day posts, you will see I recommended a Taiwanese Japan doctor too. For that one, I did witness successful stories, just we are not one of them. Or it may takes longer. Or maybe it works better to others as they are older to resist the best practice (brush-brush-joy is not fun to my son when his skin was bleeding..) Well. I am a sales person in IT industry. I wish I also do well to promote Prof. Wang, as I wish you all can be relieved from the itching. Good day. Here is my personal Chinese blog to describe my son's improvement for your reference. If you happen to have any friend speaks Chinese, you can ask them to take a look. http://aaji.blogspot.com/

Moderators, I can attest that A-ji is a real person with no commercial interest. I hope you can reinstate the references she made to this dr since she is trying to help others. (I have no info about this dr or the remedy he uses.) My caution is only to see if indeed the cure that A-ji's son has experienced will hold in the long run.
A-ji: great news, you devoted mom! If anyone can do it you can! :-) Can you tell us all what exactly the treatment consists of?

Prof Wang only subscribes a couple pills with NO ointment. But we have to drink a lot of water. He requested my son to drink 1.5liter (50oz?) a day and I have to drink 3L. For the first week of treatment, my son had to follow very stricted diet practice: only rice, certain kind of vegetables, a bit port and no fruits at all. My son has improved a lot and the 2nd week diet practice only exclude mushroom, bean-curd, icey beverage, and chocolate.
I still am in the very stricted diet as he found I did not drink enough water and I am much older so it takes longer to de-toxic.
My son has been very good to follow the diet practice and water-drinking policy :-) We are blessed.
Wish you all are.

A-ji, what are the pills? Are there any steroids in them? Which vegetables? Is he completely clear now, or is some eczema still extant?

Dear Vera, My son is now itching at all now. Last week he scracthed his neck, but it looked like heat-rash only, nothing serious as ecezema. And it was gone in 2 or 3 days. We did not put any ointment at all. Other than that, he has had no similiar syndrome for the past couple weeks. He is a happy happy boy now. He really has very good mood every day and keeps his own stuff neat and helps a lot.
I have been thinking to take the pills (tablets?, what is the right term for the medicine?) to examine and list you all the ingreidents, so that I can help more people to trust the doctor. The doctor confirms he does not subscribe any steriods, pain-killers, or any sleep-help medicine. I asked him twice.
I have been sleeping so well and so does my son. I sometimes skip my medicine to once a day only (because I forgot :p) . But still no change to my energetic new life. Last night, I was exhausted by 9pm, and I went straight to bed, and got up this morning at 6am. I only took one time medicine yesterday in the morning. So if it contains steriods or anything like it, effects shall not remain when I skip it.
Plus, both my son and my diet restrictions are removed, and our medication (number of pills) are reduced. No new pills, and the amounts are less now.
Vera, I got no one respond to my post here, besides you. I think my introduction was too miracle. Don't know what to do. But I will continue to try to tell people as much as I can. I have the faith.
Thank you for your support here.

A-ji, I think people here are not sure what to make of your information. It would help a lot if you could tell us all in detail what the treatments consists of, and what is in the pills. Surely the professor can supply the ingredients; if it is plants, then ask for the binomial names and I can find out what the English names are. Were there any ointments to use also?
It is wonderful to hear your boy is so much improved. The key question now is, will it hold? Sometimes eczema lightens on its own and then comes back. But regardless, considering his recent suffering, this is still a very significant result. Can you ask the professor to give you an info sheet in English that you could pass on to us here?
Are you still detergent-free in your household?

I agree with Vera  Unfortunately we see far too many "get cured quick" posts but so few of them actually give any proper data on how to actually do it. Personally I have great faith in chinese medicine, so please feel free to share the specifics openly here on the forum when the thousands of members and guests can all access it, digest it and decide if it's right for them. "Contact me for details" is never welcome on any open and free support forum.

Thanks, Vera and Nick. Now I understand. I thought 'contact me' meant guests here can access me with more private questions that I can help. But I was wrong.
Here are the names of my son's medicaiton for these two weeks. I have my friend (who is a dentist) look into it and he said nothing special. When the professor gave me the names, he also mentioned, it's the synergy of all combination, and there is nothing signifiant if you check individually.
Aminophylline 1.5 Dimetap 1.5 MgO 3 BC 3 When I look up in websites, the pills from professor Wang are different from what I found from website. They are all tablets. But shapes and colors are all different from what I found from website. Prof made it done specially. I will check further if ingredients are all plant-based again this week.
No ointments. Prof Wang even does not like I use Burts Bee salve. He said our body will produce enough protection for our skin. No need for any ointment to anyone. Not to myself, not to my son.
I have not been able to keep all our household detergent-free completely. But at least our dishwasher, clothes detergent, body soaps are all detergent free. There shall be least chemicals in our home compared with regular families.
Well... I have a pair of twin nephews living in NY now with very severe nut-allergy. The twin even past out a couple times when they accidentally ate some dumplings with very little peanut-oil inside. I asked Prof Wang if they can be cured and he said, he had to see the boys. So, I think even though I have many successful stories here, it shall be still depending on each case to see if it will work on you or not.
I wish you all well, again. And I try to provide my help if I can.

I made a typo at my previous post to Vera: My son is NOT itching at all now. His neck does appear twice itching during the past month. Each time took around 2 or 3 days, and both are heat rashes, not eczema, or anything like what he had before. We put no attention on it and it's gone.

Hi A-ji... Your posts and info are all very interesting....I have been very wary of Chinese doctors and herbalists, because I spent money for 6 weeks and though my skin got a bit softer, it was sooo expensive. I had to stop bcos of that.... I also never knew what what in the cream or little pills they gave me...Nor what herbs....I went to 4 of them, even one in Harley Street and was told to go to a dermatologist??! Your Mr Wang seems to be very special cos he made up medicine special for you and your son....He knew exactly what food you should eat and how much water you should drink which is very good. So this means that some of them ARE GOOD.... My faith is returning slowly... Happy your son is sleeping soundly now and you also....  Aquababe

Thanks, Aquababe. Good luck to you too.
For Chinese medicine, I still have some faith in it. The way we do it is we will find the doctors with good reputation so that we can be sure he is not adding 'fast-resulted' western (conventional) medicine into his subscription. I never heard any Chinese doctors here (Taiwand and China) subscribe any cream to patients, except for a purple grass cream (Lithospermum Ointment). The ingredients shall be similiar to what Burts Bee offers ' Res-Q ointment), from the Chinese translation. It is safe with no side effects. But still prof Wang does not recommend to use any ointment.
That's all I know. Wish be of some help :-)
You take care too~~ A-ji

A-ji, I looked up the drugs you posted: Dimetapp is anti-allergy and anti-congestion; aminophylline is a bronchodilator, and protects the lungs from irritation. Do you mean magnesium by MgO? And I have no idea what BC means.
How is your son doing now? Still in the clear? Is he still following a special diet? Please tell us more about the diet dr Wang recommended!

Vera, My son is not on much diet constriants any more. He only has to avoid Mushrooms, bamboos, and eggplants (fortunatelly in the States, you do not eat much bamboos and eggplants). For the medicine names. I got the same result as you, and I don't know the names exactly. Indeed, a friend took the medicine to examine and we are sure there is no steroid inside. Neither anti-biotics. And one of the names is Dimetap not dimetapp. I know there is no found for dimetap, but I am not sure if it's typo or what? But the pills from prof Wang do not look like any dimetapp i found from websites.
My son got rashes coming back these two weeks, and he got clear again this morning. Prof Wang said the reason for these two weeks is the weather and his 'outragrous' diet the week before. My son was on school trip out for 5 days and you know what kids do when they are out. One day he took medicine at a time for full day subscirption (3-time of the doze of course). And I asked Prof Wang if he will be getting the same rashes every time weather changes. Prof Wang said NO. He will be ok after his treatment of around 3-month.
Erika, I have reponded you as personal message to you. It is good that you are willing to travel to try. Of course, I wish your doctor now is good enough for you so that you do not need to travel.
I will let Prof Wang know when you are sure about the trip. Other than stay for a month for your first visit, I think if you can fly back and forth, 10 day here and 10-day there shall be ok. Let me know how you prefer and I will ask prof Wang. But again, you can always call him directly to check too.
Good luck to all.
A-ji
