I just want to start by thanking you from the bottom of my heart for purchasing this book. It means a lot to me and I really appreciate it. I’ve spent a lot of time and energy researching, learning and reading on new things to help improve eczema. Not only that, but as an individual who has gone through my own difficult battles with eczema, diet has definitely helped immensely, if you’ve read my story here. However, since starting my blog, I have received countless emails from readers asking me why they’ve changed their diet and they haven’t seen any results yet. There can be many reasons for this, which I cover in this e-book. Some people require so much healing that they need to remain on a ―healthy‖ diet long enough to see a difference, while for others, it can be more complicated. I remember changing my diet for 2 months, and my skin kept getting worse and worse during that time; I couldn’t understand why; I thought I was doing something wrong. Little did I know, my body was slowly healing itself. For each person, the cause of the eczema can be different, and what works for one person may not work for another. If you’ve been following a healthy diet, like the ones I’ve written about here and here, my eBook explores more reasons why eating a healthy diet may not always be enough to heal your eczema, yet. 5 Since eczema caused me so much struggle and pain in my life, I feel such great passion (and privilege) to dedicate much of my time and energy to research this, so that I can pass more knowledge onto you, my reader. Here was my skin before and after switching to natural remedies This book is a compilation of everything I learned through my experiences, research, and talking to many eczema sufferers over the years, so that you can avoid my mistakes and clear your skin as soon as possible. I hope that this book will serve to encourage you and give you hope that you will find something to help your eczema. Rather than feeling discouraged at what your skin is like now, I hope you will find faith and hope, knowing that making small changes will lead you to healing. Your skin will heal – just believe. I’m praying for you and supporting you, all the way. With love, Abby 6 Introduction: It’s a reasonable assumption that if you could only
