Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
It’s a short, simple, drastically different diet—not necessarily easy, but simple and effective. The goal of this guide is to help people with eczema or almost any kind of skin disorder heal themselves without ongoing dependence on drugs, creams, lotions, or other medicine by relating what worked for this author personally to cure her eczema, dermatitis and acne. There’s a lot of information out there, especially on the internet, but much of it can seem vague or conflicting regarding the combination of symptoms you may have. Waterford did a lot of informal research and trial and error over a long period of time and eventually cured her eczema, general health, and most of her allergies with a natural diet. If you’ve had no luck with doctors, allergy drugs, cortisone cream, or other eczema treatments, this particular combination of treatments that she stumbled upon may also help you.

This book focuses on the fungus aspect of eczema. Most natural health care practitioners will tell you that fungus is always present with eczema. Even the pediatrician we saw told us that fungus was always a problem when eczema was present. So she has a piece of the puzzle, the problem is it is only one piece to a sometimes extremely complex problem. It's like saying that people with eczema have a zinc deficiency. Well of course they do, their skin is blowing through zinc with every break out, but that doesn't necessarily mean a zinc deficiency is the cause, it can sometimes be a symptom.
She was able to greatly reduce her eczema with a strict yeast diet. I agree that a very strict yeast free diet can reduce the symptoms, but that is a very difficult way to live, because every time you cheat, you're back at square one.
She explains that she had to resort to topical steroids to finally get rid of the rash. I completely disagree with the use of topical steroids. This simply suppresses the illness, which will often then manifest in a deeper condition, the most frequent which is asthma.
Dr. Bernard Jensen in his classic work Chemistry of Man (Man Series, Second Edition) had numerous cases of eczema clear up simply by switching from cow's milk to goat's milk. I've personally seen a case of childhood eczema that was so severe the child had difficulty walking, completely clear up simply by discontinuing cow's milk. So I would start there.
We eventually found our cure through homeopathy. While we consulted with a professional homeopath, she just wasn't able to see the case clearly enough. Homeopathy is different than traditional medicine because they don't always use the same remedy for the same condition. It is highly personalized, and you have to find the exact match to your symptoms, overall health, and personality.
I eventually ended up enrolling in Homeopathic school myself, and through a series of events was led to the book "The Homeopathic Treatment of Eczema" by Robin Logan. It is in print, but for some reason is not currently available on Amazon. In it he lists 42 different possible remedies for eczema; the trick is to find the best match for your case. I had to read the book in its entirety two times before I figured out which was the best remedy for my son. For us the guiding symptoms were that it was significantly worse on the right side, he's aggressive, bites, kicks, pulls hair, and has blue streaks after scratching. It sounds odd I know. But it pointed me to the right remedy.
So she has a part of the problem that can help you minimize outbreaks until you find the correct remedy. It just wasn't the complete answer for us.

I found this book very helpful. For quite some time, I've been having facial skin problems like burning hives and whatever dermatitis name my HMO type doctors want to give it. Somewhere in the midst of suffering and getting no solutions other that cortisone creams and anti-histamines from dcotors, I decided to go find my own answers in diet. I quit alcohol. Then sugar. Then cheap carbs, food additives, etc. For the last 6 months I've been on a retraictive diet that also focused on elminating candida. My skin condition has not only improved, but I'm well--healed. Like the author, I searched for and found my own answers. Read the book to discover how the author improved her life long ailments. You too can heal yourself through diet.

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.

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 very 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.

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!!!
