5.0 out of 5 stars Hope for eczema sufferers., December 8, 2008

Everything you want and need to know by someone who has been there. There is so much information and misinformation out in the merry land of the internet that it can be very confusing. Most sites I visited while searching for help simply attempted to sell me the next "Miracle Cure" for eczema. I knew better. Other sites, backed by doctors, dermatologists and pharmeceutical companies and also fueled by nothing other than self interest, tell you that eczema is "incurable". I never bought that one either. Then I found Christina Nevada's website. I knew from her honest detailed description of her own suffering that she had walked down the same path that an eczema sufferer walks down. Christina has went so far in her quest for a cure as to become a full time naturapthic eczema researcher. Impressive. I myself already have had great success battling eczema by simply eliminating certain foods and adding other foods and supplements along with other healthy lifestyle choices and changes, so I KNEW that Christina had found real answers to a real problem, and has gone through great lengths to share them. In fact, for a time, this book was available for free on her website. (It may still be) If that doesn't convince a person on Christina's sincerity, I don't believe anything will! Although the author may make suggestions, she doesn't try to sell you anything, a refreshing change. So, if your looking for answers for an eczema problem, I don't think you need to go any further.

Christina Nevada is a Godsend. She gets down to the many factors that cause eczema while keeping the average lay person in mind when describing the science behind it all. She teaches you how to modify and supplement your diet and lifestyle to fight eczema from the inside AND out. We've never had so many choices for treatment.

There is A LOT of information to take in. Try not to feel overwhelmed. You get more out of it each time you read it.

This review is from: Healing Eczema: Nutrition, Detoxification, Anti-Stress Coping Skills And External Practices To Heal Eczema (Paperback)

My son developed eczema by the time he was 1 month old. I didn't feel comfortable with giving a child that young cortisone creams, steroids, and more steroids. I did give in though because a. I was desperate and b. that is what the doctors all push. Nonetheless, I was determined to find a real solution. So on top of seeing a dermatologist, I went to an allergist, a homeopathic doctor, a naturopathic doctor, and eventually even a pediatric gastroenterologist. Most of them had bandaid solutions. The homeopathic and naturopathic doctors were a help, but with little understanding as to what exactly they were doing and why, seeing them was not that effective. This book helped point me into the right direction. It helped me navigate through all the material out there about eczema. It explained what was really happening in my sons body. I could begin the healing process. Christina Nevada doesn't dumb you down. Her book is full of information but she takes a relaxed approach to the changes that need to be made. She recognizes how overwhelming it can get. At the same time she doesn't try to placate you with pretending that there is an easy fix. She is a balanced and very wise voice in the middle of our medicating culture. It has been over a year since I have gotten this book. I have done a lot more research than just reading this book. I can say that Christinas information is solid and true. And my son is much better for it.
