These are some testimonials I’ve received over the years on various occasions: as the blogger behind this website, as a health communicator, as a speaker, as an author, and more. I share these to not only gain your trust, but also to inspire those who tread on this page so we achieve the world eczema eradication mission together.
As Visionary of The Eczema Eradication Project
“Harrison gave a workshop on Three Big Ideas of the World of Nutrition (subtitle Atopic Eczema) at the Dynamic Toastmasters Club on Thursday, 2nd August 2018.
My first impression was his very good command of English. He talked in a way that every layman can understand, without the use of unexplained medical parlance.
He gave the audience not only the facts but also very useful concepts and tips that they find useful.
He backed up his talk with three testimonies. The most moving one was that of his own. The audience saw in group photos pictures of him in obvious distress and that he was scratching his neck and other places because of eczema. And then in a more recent group photo he was smiling, in obvious good health, and holding an apple. No more scratching! This is the picture that really can speak a thousand words. He convinced us that he actually graduated from using steroid creams and liniments to developing a holistic way of life that really worked for him.
I am sure that the blog he created and the book he published on eczema will give us more facts and guidance. His present talk tonight is already eye-opening. As a doctor who sees patients with eczema on a regular basis, I can appreciate that he is the one who can visualize the condition as a life situation that can only be effectively managed by a healthy lifestyle and by dealing with the basics with wisdom and logical practicability.
He talks with passion and with vision. His vision is to be able to help one million people suffering from eczema by the year 2026. I am sure he will achieve this. The guarantee is his passion and incremental wisdom gained by putting what he learns into practice on a daily basis.”

As Blogger & Eczema Advocate
“Before I found your blog, I went through some blogs with eczema stories but all ended up only trying to sell their books about Paleo Diet. I was so glad to finally found your blog, I found it simple, open and to the point. I wrote this to say thank you for your work.”
– Gabriella (Reader)
“Thanks man your a good person for doing this, I’m going through a bad flare up on my face right now, had to leave the university and everything, its been a long and depressing year, it came from nowhere, but I just found out about these diets and I’ve been on the strict diet for a week, my face went through that terrible phase of getting worse, but I know its normal, but hopefully this thing will get cured, but I promised myself if I get cured by doing this diet, I’m going to dedicate my life to help people who have skin problems, its just nice to see someone out there doing the same, good stuff man.”
– Jonathan (Reader)
“I am so glad to find your blog. I have a 14 year old son who is currently undergoing extreme eczema pain… It would be really encouraging to show him your videos and let him know that there is hope and anyone, just anyone just him can suffer eczema. His is more of a congenital issue, we all know… Thanks a lot for sharing your experience and knowledge here. Unlike all other websites who focused on selling the books, you meant well to impart what you have gone through.”
– Lim Mun Yee (Reader)
“Thank you so much for this blog, I feel like I have finally found people who are really understanding what suffering from eczema is. Lately, mine have been worse than ever, that’s how I found your blog… I was completely astonished (and furious) by how doctors here (I’m Canadian) are just so ignorant about this disease. Every single doctor/dermatologist I’ve seen told me that food had nothing to do with my skin condition and that it would disappear as I grow up. And I believed them all those painful years…
So I’m so glad I’ve found you, thanks for all this time you spent sharing your experience and tricks on your blog. I’m starting the diet today, hope I will be strong enough… I just love food so it really won’t be easy.”
– Kim L. (Reader)
“Your myths and contradictions page is actually the one that drew me to your guides in the first place. I’d been scouring the internet for tips on eczema diet and there were so many contradictions, and yours was the only one I could find that consolidated the information is a scientifically-sound, balanced, and no-bs way. It definitely appealed to me as not only an eczema-sufferer but also a medical science student.”
– Nancy Wu (nancy9wu@gmail.com), Medical Science Student from Canada X McGill University
“I found your blog several months ago and read through all of your posts. I have really appreciated the work you have done in building a knowledge repository for those who have eczema. The most helpful tips I have found is cutting out nightshades and taking colder showers (I still can’t bring myself to do full on cold showers, but I keep it as cold as comfortable).
One of the best ways I deal with eczema flareups is to drink lots of water. I have noticed that when I do this, it helps my body to flush out the toxins more easily as my flareups usually are a result of eating something I shouldn’t have.
Thank you for sharing your story and the lessons you learned along the way with the rest of us.”

“Duuude!!! THANK YOU! for letting it out there. Mark Hyman is talking essence here and makes so much more sense on actual solutions to why and not what.
Your blog is what I needed in my life, and became a total game changer.
I suffered from psoriasis inversa, so the doctors said, and I used to scratch my skin at night time every day, and in 4 years I had been to 4 skin-practitioners and 1 with a PhD in skin diseases, and they all threw crap at me. – use this, then use this and this and that, and they always talked about propabilities without any facts, and in the end I never got a single straight clean answer. Purely assumptions on behalf of what they’ve written in books to get their degree.
What’s even more crazy is that I also used to have IBS, and that is now gone too. But that on the contrary was gone after a week and haven’t showed itself since. But to be honest I used something called the low FODMap diet and mixed it up with Mark Hyman’s directions on what and what not to eat.
All I can say is, a few months later my body is now back in tune with itself as if I’m a new born baby.
Best birthday gift I’ve had in years!”

As Health Communicator
“Harrison did a workshop on health at Dynamic Toastmasters Club on 2/8/18. It’s an informative workshop containing generic ideas of people’s perception of health, disease prevention and health principles. Harrison used a comprehensive case study on eczema to illustrate his points. The workshop was well received by the thirty or so members and guests present.”
— Daniel Wong, President of Dynamic Toastmasters Club 2018-19
“Harrison’s Workshop is very informative and thought provoking. He has prompted me rethink what “health” means to me, and that health is a way of living. The presentation is clear and Harrison has done an excellent job in capturing the key essences of the subject. I’m particularly impressed by his enthusiasm to share knowledge and his personal experience to help people around achieving better wellness.”
— Joseph Ng, Treasurer of Dynamic Toastmasters Club 2018-19
“Encouraging” and “informative” are the perfectly apposite phrases to describe Harrison’s workshop. And I was particularly impressed by Harrison’s ability to deliver an amusing workshop with a special focus on nutritional therapy for the autoimmune disease. I can’t wait for his next speech!”
— Samson Cheung, Workshop Participant (“Three Big Ideas In The World of Nutrition”)
“Harrison is a go-to person when it comes to health and nutrition. He has gone through many years of experiments on his own body curing eczema to find out that any physical state is a result of our lifestyle. Leveraging his three big ideas about nutrition and his rich case studies, he gave specific advice to the workshop attendees to take control of our health as we make decisions about our nutrition habits every day. These are key to being alive. Immediately applicable, inspiring and practical for daily lives!”
— Filip Linhart, District 89 Area Z4 Director 2018-19
“Mr. Harrison LI is a passionate speaker, in particular, when delivering the ideas in the area of health, of which he has great knowledge and a lot of personal experience. Harrison possesses good voice, appropriate body gestures and good English. I enjoyed listening to him very much.”
— Alex Lai, Charter Member of Dynamic Toastmasters Club, Founder and CEO of Integrity Financial Services Ltd. (www.alexlai.com.hk)
“An important thing I learned from Harrison’s workshop is: a diet plan that works for others may or may not show the same result on me. He provided guidelines to evaluate diet plans so we can test a plan using the guidelines instead of following a plan blindly. He also analyzed the accuracy of common sayings that I grow up hearing such as ‘eating breakfast and eating organic food are good for you’, and some of the facts he provided did break my traditional beliefs. I recommend Harrison’s workshop to anyone who is looking for health advice base on a scientific foundation.”
— Lisy Huang, VP (Education) of Dynamic Toastmasters Club 2018-19
As Public Speaker
“Harrison is a very mature speaker. During his speech, he never hesitates to incorporate humor on the spot. The flow of his speech is also very stable, and does not make anyone doubt that he is not following one. All in all, listening to and watching his performance is a very pleasant experience!”
— Cora Lau, Student, University of Macau
“Having heard his presentation, I admired the way he made his presentations simple yet fruitful for people from different walks of life. Harrison knows his audience well and is thus able to captivate, surprise and inspire them, making him a speaker you would want to listen to all day.”
— Marco Ho, Student, Chinese University of Hong Kong
“Harrison is an effective and eloquent speaker who takes the initiative in sharing his public speaking career, stories that will motivate listeners to extend their speaking horizons. On the stage, he is energetic, enthusiastic and charismatic. Off the stage, he is well-liked and well-regarded.”
— Carly Lui, Lecturer, Chinese University of Hong Kong
“As an experienced Mr. Li not only exhibits the conversational and energetic style of delivery, he is also very well-informed as to the topic he chose. As an audience of his performance, I immediately felt the passion he had for advocating his ideas and thoughts when he started. What was truly impressive though, is unlike some other speakers you hear, he is someone who is willing to share with his audience wholeheartedly his emotions, knowledge, experience without any hesitation, and that’s admirable.”
— Jason Zang, Student, Qufu Normal University
As Author of The Eczema Manual
“I first met Harrison online because I was looking for helpful resources to relieve me from a severe eczema breakout. Doctors and herbalists couldn’t help me as my condition just kept getting worse that I almost stopped schooling and came close to being bedridden. It was only until I came upon Harrison’s website that I found true knowledge on how to keep eczema under control. Since then, I’ve been following his advice and I’ve never had my eczema come back again. It was such good news to hear Harrison’s insights being immortalized in a book. I’m sure this will prove helpful to not just victims of eczema – but of other conditions as well – just like how it was to me. Thanks a lot, Harrison!”
– Mary J. T. (Reader)
“I just finished reading your book today, I think it was AWESOME!!! There is a lot of useful information on there and seems to be quite accurate. I came across your website about 2 years ago. I developed dyshidrotic Eczema in the spring of 2014 when I was almost 24 years old. I was put on steroids and used it for a year until it spread to my toes as well. My hands and goes hurt bad. I knew after a year that these doctors are stupid and they just don’t know better. I knew there had to be a way to get rid of it. So I read so much on the internet including your site. Everything you mention in the book is pretty close to what I followed. Your time and efforts put into your research has tremendously benefited me. I thank you so much for that and also your book.”
– Tommy D. (Reader)
“Thank you Harrison for sharing the Eczema Manual. We commend you highly for the thoughtfulness and selfless dedication in the continuing research of this dreaded condition.”
– Bill W. (Reader)
“Thanks so much for taking the time to write this, and to gather all this information. I have been suffering from Eczema for most of my life – I am currently 23 years old and suffer from it. I am originally from Australia and recently moved to L.A to pursue acting, and since I’ve been here my skin has gotten worse and worse. I think possibly due to the weather, moving out of home so learning how to cook and feed myself correctly, as well as increased stress and lack of sleep from dealing with every day life and auditions. I have been following your blog for the past few months, and I have taken bits and pieces from it when really helped. But as soon as I started reading your book I got goosebumps – I finally felt like this was the answer I had been looking for. In the past 3 months alone since it is now Summer I have taken 2 steroid shots and 3 rounds of steroid tablets since I have had so many flare ups, but I finally feel confident that with the advice and information in this book, that I can now maintain and hopefully completely rid myself of my eczema forever! I would highly recommend this book to everyone with eczema, as it truly contains all the information that if you follow it, it will really help your journey towards being eczema free forever! Thanks for being a messenger and bringing this information to the rest of the world!”
