a little off topic: itch stopper

[Guest guest]

We've had a horrible time dealing with our daughter's eczema. I can

control it by limiting certain foods, and avoiding polyester

clothing, but her interaction with carpet at school is difficult to

avoid. I learned about a gadget this week, and wonder if it's for

real?

Alyssa picks at her eczema at school (she in kindergarten), and all

the hydrocortisone in the world doesn't keep her from scratching it

til she bleeds, and then picking at the scabs. She's fully included

in kindergarten this year, and the scratching and obsessive picking

at scabs is really bothersome to the teacher and aide (and to mom

and dad).

I received an unusual mail order catalog this week, called GAIAM

harmony. (www.gaiam.com) It is filled with organic bedding and

clothing and a purchase of some products helps people in need.

(okay, I'm probably the only one here who'd never heard of this

company before...)

It contains a product called the " Itch Stopper " , which has its own

web site.

Has anyone heard of this product? I wonder if it could get us

through some of the rough times with the eczema?
