Product Description

Book Description

A revolutionary 6-week programme to overcome eczema

Product Description

Based on a programme developed by a leading team of dermatologists and psychologists at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, The Eczema Solution is the essential book for eczema sufferers. Each chapter represents an 'appointment' and takes you through the stages of first learning about eczema, then controlling it and finally banishing it for good. The key to the programme is to stop scratching. Research at the Chelsea and Westminster has shown that no amount of emollient or steroids will work if scratching continues. This is much easier said than done which is why The Eczema Solution provides foolproof techniques to break, and then replace, the scratching habit. The Eczema Solution offers a unique approach to tackling eczema including:--Awareness of when and how you scratch --Using treatments effectively and for as little time as possible--Boosting your emotional well being by being in control of your eczemaWith a troubleshooting and question and answer section to deal with common problems, The Eczema Solution is your route to a life without eczema.

OK,

When I first saw this book I was as sceptical as I had been about all the 'new' atopic eczema treatments there seem to be everywhere. I was soon to have my mind changed....

I don't need to discuss the layout of this book as it is already covered in previous reviews, however I do need to re-iterate the effectiveness of the programme.

My skin is now clearer than ever. I look forward to having a shower, as my skin feel waterproof and flexibile again. I have managed to get back to the gym and even swimming.

I urge you to try the programme. Don't be put off by the fact it uses steroid creams - it re-educates you on how you should be applying them and validates why they will be effective in the programme.

Please try and get this book - you won't regret it - and you'll wish you found it years ago. But, just remember - You need to do the work. Lots of willpower and discipline is required but you'll definatly see the benefits!

This book is fantastic. It's not too long, and it's written in a clear and helpful style by a lady who has managed to overcome extremely severe eczema. It explains a programme used in hospitals to unlearn the automatic respone to itchy eczema- scratching. This sounds much easier than it is to do! The helpful and friendly tone of the book guides you through a series of "appointments", to be read at certain points in the programme. By using this book in combination with prescribed steroids used as advised a doctor, you should begin to unlearn the bad habits that are stopping the healing process and start replacing them with habits that do not damage the skin, allowing the steroids and emmollients to do their job uninterrupted.

As well as this, the book is full of information about how to cope with the emotional side of having eczema, and how your friends and family can help you instead of telling you to "stop scratching!!" all the time. As it's written by an eczema sufferer

This programme will take several weeks to work through, and doesn't provide a cure (as there isn't one), but the friendly reassuring tone of the book has helped me to have hope, and my eczema is responding to the treatment. This is such a good book, and I wish I'd known about some of the things in here years ago.

I have had severe eczema for nearly 15 years. I was told about this book just over 2 months ago, and my skin is now almost clear. The book follows a programme being used at Chelsea and Westminster hopsital, which aims to change the habits of people who suffer from atopic eczema. It doesn't offer a cure for atopy, but it does offer a way out of the scratch cycle and a way back to normal skin.

It is written in a clear accessible style, and each chapter covers one visit to the hospital. You have exercises to learn each week, and then you read the next chapter. There are charts to fill out and you record your progress in the book.

The programme really does take willpower and the belief that it can work, but with the right attitude and the right support network - this book can change your life!
