About Me Wales  All my adult life I have searched, hoped and prayed for just a little relief from the severe flare-ups of eczema, never daring to consider the possibility of normal clear unreactive skin. My life revolved around preparing for, then dealing with the next severe flare-up, which could be days or weeks, but never longer.  My condition was so severe, that I could not follow a career or regular employment, which meant bringing up my family on my husbands single salary. Prescription charges, over the counter creams, emollients and following the latest eczema skincare fads would take their toll on family finances and general quality of life. The condition touches every area of life and that of those we love. After a particularly severe and lengthy flare-up, involving almost my entire body, I felt I had nothing more to lose. I resolved to systematically trial all kinds of weird, wonderful and exotic animal, vegetable and mineral entities, making notes of any reactions for better or worse. I also made a concerted and determined effort to educate myself in the identification of additives in all household, skincare, personal hygiene and food products including medications. Very gradually and systematically,I began to realise real benefits in the use of particular food standard and naturally occurring substances when prepared in certain ways then ingested and used topically as balms and unctions, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE APPROACH.   Particular items would stop itching and inflammation almost immediately; others would soften and shrink areas of dry skin [I was on to something!]  Eventually, I rested on 4 particular ingredients that I knew were imparting powerful nutraceutical benefits. My condition was improving very rapidly, I was sleeping soundly and waking refreshed, and had so much more energy. Today I am completely free of eczema dermatitis and hives (urticaria).  My skin is clear, unreactive and settled, and has been for over three years, the longest period of relief I have ever known. I have no medical training or background and I am not a literary writer other than everyday speech and writing.  I make no attempt to impress or offend anyone’s sensibilities with a particular literary style. I explain simply, but effectively, to impart the knowledge and benefits in my eBook and websites. “CATHERINE ZETA JONES revealed this week, it’s not expensive cosmetics that keep her looking glam… it’s traditional methods she picked up in the Welsh Valleys”.   The Sun Newspaper August 2009 -
