Book Synopsis

The Eczema Diet includes all the facts and latest scientific research, as well as itch-busting treatments that offer immediate relief combined with a tried-and-tested diet developed by nutritionist Karen Fischer that really gets results.

Eczema is a painful, itchy and incredibly uncomfortable condition for sufferers. The bad news is it's on the rise. Babies are developing skin inflammation soon after birth. Toddlers with severe itchy skin and uncontrollable scratching are drawing blood. And teenagers and adults ashamed of their skin are wearing long-sleeved shirts in summer.

Eczema is a unique skin disorder with many of the standard health foods that are good for the skin actually increasing the itch in eczema sufferers. Current medications can also have undesirable side effects. Nutritionist, skin expert and a mother-of-two, Karen Fischer is known as the 'last hope' for eczema patients who have tried every therapy and cream to no avail.

Inspired initially by her success in treating her own daughter's eczema, for the last ten years Karen has treated eczema patients of all ages, including newborn babies.

Now, in this second edition of her bestselling book, Karen brings you the results of her years of research and shares her tried-and-tested solutions for this heart-breaking condition.

This comprehensive guide for eczema sufferers of any age includes:

• emergency itch-busters
• skin care and non-diet information
• how to prevent chemical sensitivities
• dandruff and cradle cap treatments
• a fast-track detox for adult
• menus for all ages, including lunchboxes and party food
