Quotes
“Staph is present on 90% of people with eczema and is a complicating factor on eczema lesions with itch and is one of the things that causes the oozing and the crusting and all that stuff.” [12:11]
“CBD shows a lot of promise for regulating the osteocytes and turning down, again, not turning it off, not making your skin dry, but turning down inflammatory sebum production that's driven by testosterone and inflammatory fats, so poor quality fats in the diet.” [25:57]
