Solve Eczema\u2019s Blog
\nNotes from www.solveeczema.org<\/a> \u2013 on the topic of solving eczema, living eczema free. \u00a0By A.J. Lumsdaine<\/p>\n

Solveeczema.org is an amateur website I began years ago to help other parents solve their children’s eczema. \u00a0It has been my hobby for many years, completely non-commercial, parent-to-parent. \u00a0Until May 2011, I hadn’t even monetized it with ad revenue, despite how simple and lucrative online allergy and eczema ads are, because Google ads and similar services use keywords that end up advertising many products I feel would harm people my site is supposed to help. \u00a0I tried monetizing the site for awhile, but suspended it soon after as it ended up more trouble than it was worth, I feel gave people the wrong impression and could have turned away some people who would otherwise have been helped, and it earned very little anyway. \u00a0I may add some affiliate ads for things I just enjoy, like Giant Microbes, but haven’t yet.
\n<\/em>
\nIt has always been my goal to do a medical study, and I have been exploring the best way to do that. \u00a0Ultimately, I would like to grow a social venture that gives a hefty percentage of its bottom line to fund an affiliated non-profit research arm working to solve tough medical problems, where I believe the solution already exists in medical literature, what is needed is more problem solving than new science.
\n<\/em>
\nIn the short term, I am trying to publish a book and make a medical study happen. \u00a0I recently had an epiphany about crowdsourcing the medical study, which you can read about on the Changemakers<\/a> website by searching on “solveeczema”. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Donations<\/a> are most welcome and will help more than you know. \u00a0Although SolveEczema.org<\/a> is a noncommercial endeavor, donations are not tax deductible as it is not a registered nonprofit. \u00a0(Donations typically amount to no more than a few hundred dollars a year, enough to help defray the cost of the site so I can afford to keep it online.)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Solveeczema.org<\/a> website and blog continue to explain in detail how people can find their own products. \u00a0I recommend products because people ask me to. \u00a0I am not selling anything myself. \u00a0 If people link from the SolveEczema Amazon.com astore<\/a> to purchase products they would anyway, a small portion of sales goes to support SolveEczema.org without increasing the cost to buyers. \u00a0The one glaring product absence from Amazon.com is CalBenPureSoap laundry and soap products, which have to be purchased directly from CalBen.<\/em>
