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.

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.

best book out there on eczema. I followed a lot of the suggestions from the author and my daughter's severe eczema is under control now. Thank you so much Christine Nevada.

This book is a good overview of the problem of eczema from a holistic point of view, and explains in detail many of the steps a sufferer can take to get relief.

Hi,

I read Christina's book and did a paid counseling session with her. She was not helpful to me and had another client I know that she actually caused a lot of harm to.

I finally found that my life long eczema was being CAUSED by the steroids I was being treated with. I don't sell anything but created a website to share this option [...] Maybe this site will help you. You might also read on the internet about getting all Gluten out of your diet. This has helped many people.

Christina is a nice person. However, just be careful not to take everything she says as the last word.
Good luck in your healing!

While I appreciate what the author went through to find the answers she needed to effect a cure for her eczema, I found this book too scattered, disorganized and confusing to get much help from it.
Some of the recommendations seemed difficult, such as two pairs of cotton pajamas,
or going to bed with an ice pack on the place that is itching. Others seemed incomplete, like the advice on page 142 to soak vegetables in vinegar, where she adds "There are other things you can buy to clean them as well." So, what are they?
I felt the role of the liver, and leaky gut syndrome was given far too little attention. It may be the kind of eczema she had, but for many, the causes are internal.
I have read the whole book, most of it with a mounting sense of disappointment and frustration. Perhaps a second perusal will reveal hidden gems, but I'm not very hopeful.

What she says makes sense and probably works for some people. However, I tried it and it didn't work for me. Looking at what she talks about, it doesn't seem like it would hurt to do and that's probably the bottom line with following any of the 'out of the medical community' cures.

Christina has done a fabulous job of research and health ideas. Thank you so much, Christina!!! It has so much information and is a big help for anyone with this condition. Who wouldn't want to be healed? Buy this book!
