This diet and the supplements are healing my eczema and changing my life. I feel pain- and itch-free for the first time in my life.

Our daughter Georgie suffered from eczema and all she wanted was for the pain to go away. Doctors could not help her other than to say come back when you turn fifteen, you will grow out of it. For Georgie this was not an option. The eczema would start to bleed and she couldnt stand the pain and all she wanted to do was hide or die. So we made an appointment to see Karen. She placed Georgie on the eczema diet which also contained the Skin Friend product. After a few weeks we started to see an improvement in Georgie. It has now been eight months since Georgie started using the program and she is now leading a normal life and you wouldnt even know that she had suffered from eczema.

Being 57 years old and struggling with debilitating eczema on my hands for the first time in my life has been a source of deep discouragement. The past year has been spent in anguish and humiliation and franticly searching for relief. Allergist testing revealed nothing helpful. Countless creams and ointments and oils were expensive experiments and seemed futile. One day I ran across an article about The Eczema Diet and ordered the book that very hour I read about the Skin Friend supplements and ordered them as fast as I could get them! Following the diet and supplementations as carefully as I could, I actually started seeing some relief within a week. Its now several months later my hands are virtually free from their painful bondage and I can function and feel like a normal person again!

Hello Karen, after seven long years suffering dermatitis herpertiformis and many visits to dermatologists and doctors with no improvement, I was happy to try your diet. For the first time in years I am nearly DH free and the hideous scars are healing!

Please pass along a great big THANK YOU to Karen Fischer and all the Eczema Life team! I am finally seeing good healing after six months of struggling with intense eczema over all of my arms, chest and thighs. I have never had eczema like this in my entire life Im 62 so this caught me by surprise.

Little by little I have improved. Now, at six months into the diet, I am adding even more foods and wearing short sleeves again! Your philosophy that it all begins in the liver was so accurate for me and Im sure others. Thank you so much for your work. I am thrilled to have my health back!

My breastfed baby started to get eczema at three months old (shes now six months). The doctors told me it was probably from soap or detergent and gave me a cream. After two weeks on the creams it looked just as bad as before. I became so frustrated and started to look into the fact that maybe what I was eating was to blame. This book was a lifesaver. It can be so overwhelming to try and start from scratch to figure out whats triggering your babys eczema. Karen Fischer had all the research done for me, told me where to start and what foods to avoid. Within two weeks of following the book, my daughters skin was so clear it was amazing!

KRISTEN, UNITED STATES

I am a 50-year-old female who has always remained fit and healthy but unfortunately have suffered from eczema and allergies my whole life. I must say I was very skeptical as I had tried everything! Well lets say it has changed my life; Im not a religious person but it has become a Bible. By three weeks my skin was showing huge improvement and by six weeks my eczema had completely cleared up. Nothing short of a miracle! Now at five months I continue the diet, although not as strictly, and still take Skin Friend every day. I cannot thank you enough that I am eczema free!
