I have had exzema all my life but after the birth of my second child my hands became so cracked and painful that I was no longer able to work as a neonatal nurse and every day activities (changing nappies, washing up etc) made my hands burn and itch constantly. Steroids, whilst effective in the short term caused rebound exzema after a few days and western medicine could offer me nothing else. I tried homeopathy, crystals, aloe vera etc etc etc. This year I thought I'd give Chinese herbs a go and 3 months (and lots of really revolting medicine) later my hands are looking completely cured. I no longer wake everyone with my nocturnal scratching and can do all the things I was able to do before without fear of repercussions. Back to nappy changing!

B Bladenen 26/8/2003 (Fungal skin infection)

Having been told by my doctor that I had a fungal infection, which covered half my neck as well as my chin and sides of cheeks, I was left feeling totally depressed, downhearted. A mother at my son's school suggested that I visit John and within weeks of taking herbs and a herb type liquid the redness disappeared (I was told by my doctor it would not go away for about 12-18 MONTHS!!!). Now about 1.5 months later I am completely clear of any horrid scaly rash. A huge thank you - I will be also visiting my GP again so that he can see for himself how this terrible infection has gone.

Thank you so very much.
