In this conscious conversation with Luke Jacobsma, we explore his journey of holistically healing topical steroid addiction and withdrawal.
We dive deeply into his experience of this pharmaceutical drug reaction and the ways that it presents itself and challenges the human body, mind, psyche and soul in the months and years that recovery takes. Luke is an amazing human that articulates the challenge and despair, but also the many hidden gifts of wisdom and resiliency that he has uncovered in his voyage through this condition.
We explore in this episode:
- The fundamentals of Topical Steroid Addiction/Withdrawal (aka. Red Skin Syndrome)
- Luke's personal experience and timeline of TSW
- The high probability of conventional medicine misdiagnosis and TSW as a mystery illness
- Healing diet and self care for TSW
- Mentally and emotionally coping and staying resilient
- The surprising spiritual gifts of TSW and illness
- Becoming self responsible with your health, and much more.
This episode is a potent and really important listen, especially if you are personally dealing with eczema, TSW, are using topical steroids, or have a child or loved one that may be experiencing TSW or is using topical steroids for any skin challenge. Please note that worsening and cyclical eczema symptoms while using topical steroids is actually often a sign that one's skin is now addicted to steroids and this is not actually eczema any longer.
Please connect or reach out to a TSW literate holistic/medical professional or itsan.org for supportive information.
