5.0 out of 5 stars Healing diet for eczema, February 18, 2006

By	Shannon (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

I've had severe eczema all my life and have always been on one medication or another, or two or three... When I quit smoking six months ago, eczema flared up all over my body. I was literally scratching my skin off. I went to several doctors, each of them gave me the newest medication on the market for eczema, told me to try it and come back for something new to try if it didn't work. Nothing worked!! Determined to get off of prescription medication and seek a cure, not just a mask, to the symptoms I've had all my life I met with Deidre. She recommended I try a whole foods diet for six months, no caffeine, no alcohol or processed foods. After five months on this diet, my skin has cleared up and I have quit taking all prescription medication with no side effects. I feel better than I have in years. Deidre's book, Your Healing Diet, is my little guidebook. I keep it out and refer to it when I need to remind myself that I am well because I am on a diet that promotes healing from within. I am so thankful that I've been able to take control of my health and don't have to rely on western medicine, but can actually heal myself by eating right. Deidre has been so supportive and encouraging. She is a valuable resource for people truly desiring to make a change in their lives to promote healing from within.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comments from DFW Psoriasis Support, February 16, 2006

By	DFW Psoriasis (Texas) - See all my reviews

I wanted to post a message out here to vouch for Deidre's professionalism and competence as a nutritional/dietician expert and special consultant for people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. I am the support group leader for the Dallas/Fort Worth Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Support Group. We are a National Psoriasis Foundation affiliated support group and we have a Web site at www.dfwpsoriasis.org. I founded the support group in the summer of 2003. We currently have 263 members and we meet monthly at two DFW area locations. I have had Deirdre up to speak to our group on two occasions. At both of those meetings we experienced our best meeting attendance ever and the group members were very appreciative of Deirdre's presentation and the information they received. Deirdre has continued to field questions from our group members and her motivation is sincere and her overall intent is to better the lives of people who must deal with this disease daily (as she does). I fully intend to ask Deirdre to come and speak to our group again in the future and I know she will be warmly and appreciatively received. I personally consider Deirdre our best resource when is comes to treating psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis or any inflammatory disease for that matter from the perspective of diet and nutrition. Given her exceptional training and the fact that she is a patient herself, I don't think you could find a better resource anywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gratitude, February 14, 2006

By	CF, Victoria, TX - See all my reviews

A year ago my husband was struggling with severe psoriasis with lesions covering 98% of his body. He lost all hope of healing when doctors told him that there was nothing they could do to cure him. Out of desperation I contacted my son who was instrumental in finding Ms. Earls. She gave us hope and started us on a healing diet which was our new beginning to a healthy lifestyle. Our family embarked on a team effort to support my husband, and in return we have all benefited from our efforts. Within weeks of following a healing diet we began seeing changes in my husband's skin and demeanor. Today my husband is 95% cured of psoriasis and shows no visible signs, no longer has high cholesterol or on high blood pressure medicine, and has lost 40 pounds. We continue to practice all that Ms. Earls recommends in her guide Your Healing Diet. Her practical approach makes the compact guide user friendly when shopping, planning meals, or doing expository reading.
Our family has a profound gratitude for all that Ms. Earls has done for us. CF, Victoria, TX
