cristy,

i am sorry for your miscarriage

A rash can be dry skin, or small legions of coloration, irritations,
oozing pus, insanely itching pimples, or excruciatingly painful
shingles. So I won't insult you by assuming what your problem or
solution is. Hey, for all I know, there are some rashes that can be
cured. But I am motivated to offer my methods of coping with rashes.
And fwiw, I had been diagnosed [long ago and far away] with lichen
planus by more than one dermatologist. My experience with rashes,
fungi, and skin problems run some gamut. And so do my responses.

When I have a rash, in the absence of obvious trauma, I assume that I
have some toxins that have a great need to leave my body. (Sometimes
the rash may be caused by microbes feeding on the carnage.) And this
critical rush necessitates a less than beautiful solution. The
approach is two pronged.

A. stop abusing myself with poisons or actions
that have been causing this massing
B. help get rid of the toxins as quickly and painlessly
as possible. And also help the skin heal comfortably

-----

A. Many times eating raw foods will remove the irritations and abuses.
But sometimes, the toxins can come from poison oak, airborne civilized
chemicals, medication, stress, or invisible repetitions.
Sometimes, unblocked honesty is needed to find the specific abuses.

B. Helping myself get rid of toxins:

1. eating instinctively, assuming i have such a supply of food.
2. a juice diet, a water fast, or extended restricted eating
3. saunas, steam vents, and sweat lodges
4. loofah or bristle brushes; or sisal body cloths and sponges
5. herbs like wormwood, black walnut, and licorice
6. bacteria like acidophilus, sauerkraut, yogurt, or rejuvulac
7. salt baths, or salt scrubs
8. ocean, lake or river swimming
9. oil baths (ie. jojoba)
10. hot tubs [,with cold plunge cycles]
11. sun, sun gazing, and crystal therapy
12. aerobics, isometrics, yoga, hiking, games with balls
13. massage: shiatsu,reflexology,swedish,arnica/rose hip seed oil
14. enemas and colonics
15. ocean water oral flush
16. mud and clay; baths, masks, and full body painting
17. rasps: pumis, ceramic, diamond
18. honesty
19. sex or no sex
20. quiet or meditation
21. oral bentonite
22. psyllium seed husk
23. artesian or alkalized water
24. soap i.e. black african
25. brush teeth, gums and tongue
26. shea (or cocoa) butter
27. shave or don't shave
28. teas: marshmallow, ginger or other steeped herbs
29. borscht; [raw] beet soup
30. peppers
31. watermelon
32. coughing up phlegm properly
33. fever and other cold symptoms. (germ therapy)
35. go fly a kite, jump out of a plane, or alter perspectives

This will be especially easy to do if you check into a spa, a farm or
a ranch. If you have the money and the time to devote, then you can
have a lot of fun and fresh air. (Don't miss the horseback riding on
the beach.) But if you still have to go to work and live on a budget,
then the name of the game is compromise.

ps -
btw, that list is complete. i didn't leave out anything. no one else
can think of something to add... actually, i don't even know why they
teach everyone to write, most people only need to learn how to read.
