Very Insightful

This book was very informative. I had similar experiences described in the book concerning eczema. Now I have a different way to approach the skin disorder.

Wanted more!

I have suffered from eczema all my life. I have always felt like I was alone with my skin problems. I liked the parts where she described the pain she went through as I too have felt the very same way and it helped me feel like there was someone who understood. My only gripe is first it could have used some editing and second, I wish she had written a much longer book to tell more of her life with skin problems as I could relate. All in all it is a good little book.

It works -- like Atkins/South Beach PLUS

I have to say this does work: I always wondered why my little spots of rash on the insides of my elbows and sometimes wrists would go away when I was on a diet! I tried this with the grapefruit seed extract (which I like about this diet, as it was all natural -- not pushing any product like some of the reviews, and other books) and it really cleared up the hives. Now when I eat something really carb-y or sugary, I know why it comes back! But not as bad as before, and at least now I now what causes it and what to do. Thank you!!!

A good starter, but not enough information...

This is a tiny little book that is a good primer on treating eczema, or more accurately, an overgrowth of Candida Albicans, via diet. It gives good, basic information on implementing a yeast-free diet, along with a helpful section on herbs. What it lacks? Meal plans, adequate recipes, and further information on cleansing. I bought this book, and followed the diet, as well as implemented the suggestions on herbs. However, there is more to tackling Candida albicans, i.e. internal cleansing, than is covered in this book. I purchased "The Coconut Diet" along with this book, and found I used "The Coconut Diet" as much, or more, in treating my eczema and allergies. So if you purchase this book, plan on buying another book on Candida albicans to supplement. Or, you can just purchase "The Coconut Diet", which was as helpful to me as this volume.

I got this as an eBook from iUniverse.com, to get it quickly -- this is the type of diet that I think everyone knows instinctively they should follow to get healthy and clear up practically ANY illness, but the difference here is to stick to it long enough (about 6 weeks in the book) to work for as a treatment and cure for skin problems like eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and acne, which are all so stubborn, just like the candida / yeast infection that seems to be at the root of them. I've had it since childhood and now it's finally 95% cleared (and no more need for Doctors to put me on antibiotics, which, according to this, make it worse in the medium to long run!) But when I try going off the diet, it starts creeping back. First the inflammation, then itching, then the tiny eczema blisters. If you or your child have skin problems, (or even allergies, as this worked on that for me to), please get on the diet and stick with it!!!
