I was desperate and frustrated. My six-month-old son had extreme eczema, and after trying an ocean of products and taking him to 13 different doctors and healers (from allergists to acupuncturists!), he was no better. One medical doctor said it was “incurable.” I refused to believe my son had to suffer.

Armed with my life-long storehouse of knowledge of natural healing and the latest research, I took to my own kitchen. After countless tries, experimenting with dozens of natural ingredients, I came up with a salve that worked. With it, my son got enough relief from the intense inflammation for an alternative physician to step in and get him the rest of the way. Now he is an eczema-free little boy. Yes, Doctor-Know-It-All, cured.

Moms started asking me for what they called my “magic salve.” “This works on everything,” the moms told me. Now they say their homes, purses, diaper bags and first aid kits will never be without Skin Healer.
