Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is an inflammatory skin condition that affects an estimated 30 percent of the U.S. population, mostly children and adolescents. This young child is experiencing the dry, itchy skin associated with the condition. People with eczema also may be particularly susceptible to bacterial, viral, and fungal skin infections.

The Eczema Library Research Packet consists of approximately 231 pages of scanned material located within the WRF Health Library on the topic.

Partial list of subjects include: Herbs, Evening Primrose Oil, plants, enzymes, vitamins, chromotherapy and more.

Each packet also includes a list of recommended books and newsletters for more information.

The Foundation for Alternative and Integrative Medicine (FAIM) is doing a fundraising project along with the World Research Foundation. As you know, since FAIM has the goal of offering unbiased educational information, we do not market or promote products.

FAIM has collaborated with the World Research Foundation to make a plethora of information available to our readers and in so doing you will be supporting both non-profit organizations. Through a special arrangement in this fundraising effort, half of the proceeds from the packets will come to FAIM.

The library packets from the World Research Foundation presents a multitude of options for more than 350 diseases and illnesses. The packets range from 250 to 600 pages. These are not books written by one professional, but compilations from numerous medical and health professionals, from around the world. You are receiving information that has been successful, not just random internet discussions or conjecture. Every six pages, within each packet, is from a noted professional in their particular specialty, so this would be the equivalent of someone reading between 40 and 100 books on their particular health challenge.

The goal is to help you become aware of all potential options so you are making the most informed decision for your health care.

When you purchase a packet by clicking on the link in this article, the Foundation for Alternative and Integrative Medicine will receive a portion of the cost of the packet. Learn more about this project on the World Research Foundation Health Research Packets page.
