Testimonial from 16 year old boy with Severe Eczema

I am a 16 year old boy who has had excema for most of my life. I came

to see Lynne late last year when it had become really bad - I was seeing

a specialist at the hospital as all my lymph nodes were inflamed with

the infection, it was horrible. But the doctors just gave me more

steroids and antibiotics. My skin was flaking off in large chunks and

I was embarrassed to be seen at school. Lynne was very understanding

and inspired confidence in me that we could beat the excema... she

didn't make me feel embarrassed because of my skin. She did some

testing and changed my diet, and gave me herbal medicines and tablets.

After 3 months my skin is heaps better, and eventually I can tell it

will completely heal. I'm so glad we went to see her.

Babies and Children - Grommets, Tonsillitis, Adenoids

I see a lot of babies and children with ear infections, tonsillitis and swollen adenoids who are on waiting lists for grommets or to have tonsils or adenoids removed.  These children often mouth breathe because their passages are congested, often sleep poorly and usually have colic, asthma or eczema.  These are all signs of allergy and I recommend doing an allergy test and avoiding or reducing the allergic foods and environmental triggers.  This will  avoid the need for grommets and removal of tonsils and adenoids and will undoubtedly improve health and wellbeing.
