Success Stories

Our products work for many people.

But I Can’t Show You Testimonials OR Photos

And I’d love to show you photos delighted customers have sent in – before and after shots galore.

I’d also like to quote from the tons of emails from very happy customers I’ve received over the nearly 10 years I’ve been running this web site.

As I’ve shown on this page for many years.

Houston, We Have A Problem

But we have a problem.

You see, some of the products we sell are registered under the Therapeutic Goods Administration.

Which means we have to abide by the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code – which is just fine.  We have no problem with that.

Under the Code: “Testimonials must not breach the Code.  They must be documented, genuine, not misleading and illustrate typical cases only.”

If you’ve visited this page before, you’ll have seen numerous before and after shots and lots of very positive testimonials.

But the TGA reckon our Testimonials are in breach of the Code.

What the?

All of our testimonials are:

  • Documented (we have every email for every testimonial we’ve ever received) – and you know I hate fake testimonials ;o)
  • 100% genuine
  • Not misleading

I think (because they don’t tell you specifically) that the TGA has asked us to remove the testimonials because they see them as not “typical cases” (according to them).

Definition of a Typical Case

What’s the definition of a typical case??

As I take pains to express, eczema treatments vary from person to person, as does the effectiveness of any treatment.

Some people who use the products we sell have great results.

For others, the products simply don’t work.

Not Everyone Has The Same Results

Whilst I’d certainly argue that all of our testimonials and before and after shots are typical cases – not everyone has the exact same results.

Saying that would be stupid. And I know my visitors are anything but stupid when it comes to finding the right sort of treatment for their/their child’s condition.

But surely it’s typical with eczema and psoriasis to have a variety of responses?

Perhaps we need to add in testimonials from customers who didn’t get a great result?

I Don’t Know What To Do

I simply don’t know.

Whilst I figure out what the TGA sees as “typical cases”, we’ll remove our Before and After shots and wonderful testimonials to comply with their request.

I’ve requested further information from them and will keep you posted.

Pet Hair in Spring Time

Animals lose their coat in Spring.
If you’ve got a pet, you’ll know how much hair they leave lying around the house.  In spring time, this can double or even triple in quantity depending on the type of pet you have.  Pet hair floating around the home is not good news for eczema sufferers as it [...]
