The following testimonials are from Karen’s eczema patients + readers of The Healthy Skin Diet. For privacy reasons, most surnames and before and after photos are not printed on the new Health Before Beauty website.
"The Healthy Skin Diet is a fantastic book for those seeking healthy skin the natural way. Karen has so much experience treating sufferers of
skin conditions, and her programs, while really easy to follow, are so effective. The Healthy Skin Diet even caters for those with special dietary needs, like coeliac disease, which I suffer from. This book provides a natural, effective guide to getting beautiful skin from the inside, out."
"I trust Karen and her holistic, natural approach to beauty. This is an easy to follow program that will help you to have the beautiful skin you always wanted."
"The diet plus all supplements worked so well for us. I felt like a miracle has happened to Leo. (He had regular steroid creams from a very early age, on top of antibiotics for infections on the skin that often happened because of various reasons, including childcare and very itchy nights...). We had other natural supplements before, but I think the combination and diet that you described is the most effective. (I also learned a lot for myself, for my own health!!! Many thanks for this too :-) My younger one also has a bit of eczema, but just few spots, which is such a relief! When we did the diet, we had it pretty much for the whole family. Milan's eczema also completely disappeared."
"Thank you so much for a concise and well researched book. If I said it’s changed my life I would sound clichéd, but that sums it up. I'm 31 and have suffered from acne since I was 15. This has affected my self esteem in varying degrees. It’s been 6 days and I can honestly say I've seen better results than in a decade of trying. I've lost 2 kilos to boot. I'm so excited and will stick to it. I'm forever grateful for your book and its vital contents! Much love and appreciation."
"Hi Karen, I would firstly like to thank you so much for your help with my son's eczema. Not only does my son have his skin back, but he is so much more confident. You see, he is quite timid and having just started school this year was extremely paranoid about his "itchies". I was getting quite upset and stressed as nothing would work and we had tried so many things, skin specialists, 3 naturopaths, bowen therapy, Australian Biologics, NAET therapy and even went back to his paediatrician. He had a swim program at school which he was very upset about attending as he would have to show his skin and some kids had already asked about it. As a result, he would go to school on hot days with a jumper on as he wanted to keep covered and when I told him he was to now wear his summer uniform to school he got so upset. It's heart breaking when your little boy cries to you and asks you "When will my itchies go away mum?" and you've exhausted every avenue and still have no answer! So on behalf of Jacob, I thank you so much for your fantastic book.”
"I did the cleanse and have been following the diet for almost 2 weeks now and I adore it... the food is wonderful and I've lost 3.5kg as well as only having a few new pimples in that time instead of a whole face full.... The recipes in the book are excellent and so accessible - and my partner and kids love what I've been cooking! I think people should know how easy and wonderful it has been to treat this chronic condition with Karen's lifestyle modifications... I have been telling all my friends and family about it."
"Dear Karen, Please see attached my before and after photos of my skin. My before photos show I had a lot of acne particularly on my neck which were pus like pimples and very sore. I am 23 and my acne was really getting my down, I was soo conscious of my appearance and my self esteem was at an all time low. I wondered why on earth do I have acne at 23, what's wrong with me? I had tried every acne cream possible and didn't want to take antibiotics again like I did back when I was 16. I then discovered your book... My after shots are taken after 3 weeks on The Healthy Skin Diet where my acne is beginning to clear up and is less painful without the hard lumps. I feel so much more healthier since starting The Healthy Skin Diet and the antioxidant salad is one of my favourites. I thank you soo much for your book and it can only get better from now up to the 8 weeks and beyond.”
"Just wanted to let you know since following the recommendations in your book I have become a different person! I feel really fit, strong and healthy. I have plenty of energy and the pimples that would plague me every time of the month on my chin, have stopped! My husband loves the new me and told me to 'buy in bulk' whatever it was I was using. I am just generally happier, less stressed and very calm. It is quite an achievement when you have 2 small children and a small business to run. So thank you very much."
"I am very pleased that I discovered the Healthy Skin Diet. I have implemented many of Karen's recommendations and noticed an improvement in my skin in just over seven days. I have also noticed an improvement in my energy levels. Karen's book is an excellent resource for anyone seeking to improve their health, it is exceptionally well researched and easy to use."
"My partner suffers from a form of eczema which is worse during the hot months. She has these blotches all over and in summer when sweating they become red and itch like crazy. She has been taking your drink each morning and amazingly the red blotches have almost totally disappeared and there is no more itching. It is a miracle !!! Something so simple. Thanks so much."
"My 16 month old son Jagger has suffered with eczema since birth, especially on his feet and behind his knees. After I put him on Karen's anti-eczema program, within a couple of days he was sleeping better and scratching less. Within ten days, all the redness was gone from his skin and I could leave him without clothes, and without scratching! He's much happier and busy playing instead of scratching!"
"The doctors told me Jesse's eczema wasn't food related and I was advised to minimise dust mite exposure, which we tried but it didn't clear up the eczema. The dietary changes and advice Karen gave us worked and 2 months later Jesse's eczema was gone. It's great, Jesse doesn't need medications anymore. I could finally throw away the Advantan as we had found the source of the eczema rather than masking the symptoms. I liked the fact that the diet allowed us to find the specific foods he was reacting to, and it was very straightforward and easy to follow. Friends and family were amazed and asked how I got his skin looking so good."
"My son Luca suffered from severe eczema as a baby. We saw you several times approx 3-4 yrs ago for advice. My son is fully cured thanks to your help."
"Clare has gone from vomiting up to ten times a day to just once
a week. She hasn't had any rashes for at least a fortnight. Clare stopped
vomiting within 3-4 days after starting the diet and supplement.
Her twin sister Reese is also a 'new' baby girl… She's gone from a grumpy,
winger to a happy little girl in the last few weeks. I am keeping the
'new' baby! Reece's personality change happened about 10 days to 2 weeks
after starting the new diet."
"Dear Karen. Your book is amazing and even my Mother and Mother-In-Law are reading it intently over and over. My 4 year old daughter who is about to start Kindy is looking like a million dollars. What a difference in just 6 weeks. After 4 years of battling her eczema (not sleeping, not eating, extreme fatigue and hospitalisation with infected skin) I am now in control, more than ever. The doctors told me it was all about maintaining her comfort. The Healthy Skin Diet maintenance program is sooooo much better than many many tubes of cortisone cream that I used to use.”
"I am so thankful that I purchased book. This has been such a wonderful addition to my daily activities and certainly has enhanced my knowledge and motivation. I am 48yrs and my daughter is 16 yrs and we have been following your book religiously and we feel fantastic. Many, many thanks!”
“Hello, I am a 25 year old female and have been battling acne since I turned 20.
My sister bought me your book for Christmas, and the difference in my skin is amazing. I have tried EVERYTHING in the past five years, and was at a loss of what to do next, then your book came along. I would not normally take the time to email a writer of a book I had read, but I am just so appreciative to have my skin under control. Thank you!”
"Dear Karen, I absolutely adore your book and have recommended it to several friends. It is easily my favourite skincare book. Thank you so very much for writing it. With eternal gratitude,"
"Your book is amazing, I was glued to it and read it all over two days. Holding my attention is hard to do, so bravo you are a talented lady."
“Hi Karen, I just wanted to thank you for your book. It gives me such great ideas and has really taught me how to cook in a way. So many of your beautiful recipes are my mainstay. I recommend you to so many people.”
