When I first began this blog, I posted a wonderful letter of feedback by Katrina Featherston, who gave me permission to post it on my blog, which is copyrighted.

https://solveeczema.org/eczemablog/?p=363

For some reason, this post has been copied by many others on the Web without permission.

I have not authorized any of these uses, especially one particularly bad one on a web site called m e d e c i n e d o c t o r s [dot] i n f o. PLEASE DO NOT GO THERE. I would ask my readers to please not look for that site, because just your linking to it or viewing it will give them a higher ranking with Google. However, if you are using Google to look into Solveeczema.org, please be aware of it and don’t use it!

They not only borrowed the letter, they used my web site name, Solveeczema.org, then added a rant to Katrina Featherston’s letter — an anti-doctor anti-medicine rant that is neither from me nor Ms. Featherston, but the site so makes it seem so, I consider it libelous.

My husband and I couldn’t have done what we did without the wisdom our healthcare practitioners imparted and the help and support they gave along the way. I think everyone should have that kind of medical support.

People who use my site are sometimes discouraged by their experiences with the advice available for treating eczema, but I make very clear how important it is for people to have a good relationship with a doctor before embarking on any changes as outlined on the site. If people do have an antagonistic relationship, I usually ask if there is any way to switch to a doctor they could work with. There are many, many doctors out there who will work with patients, and who are wise, helpful and (necessary for working with the site) able to keep close tabs on people’s safety and personal medical situations through the changes I advocate on the site.

Although I am working on trying to see a medical study of the Solveeczema.org solution, there is currently nothing like it in the medical literature and doctors cannot be held responsible for not knowing what has not been published in peer-reviewed literature. I have even heard from doctors who used my web site to help their own families.

I don’t know what the motivation of the abovementioned web site is to steal my material and misrepresent it and me, but there is no name associated with it and no contact information for me to ask them to stop. Please realize that the site is in no way associated with me or my site, and that the rant they attached to the letter they stole from my site has nothing to do with me.
