Kimberly and Tadd Duffield reviewed Dr. Ana-Maria Temple’s Eczema Transformation Program, reporting that Tadd successfully transitioned off daily Zyrtec and long-term allergy shots. After years of cycling between dermatologists and allergists, Tadd achieved clear skin, reduced steroid cream usage, and regained the ability to enjoy outdoor activities without hives or discomfort.

The interview

What was the breaking point that made you join the program?

We were at the beach with family, and I just didn't find the energy to go because my eczema was so bad. I had hives all over my thighs so my swimsuit hurt whenever it got wet. I didn't think it was worth the energy to go swim in the ocean because of the pain or discomfort that would follow.

What was life like before working with The Eczema Transformation Program?

A lot of our life revolved around, 'is this activity going to bother me?' Tadd would have a good day, but then by the afternoon he would have broken out in hives and have a hard time sleeping at night unless I gave him Benadryl. He was on allergy shots, Zyrtec every day, and steroid creams, but none of that really seemed to help.

What was your experience with traditional medicine before this?

We started the program when he was 16, almost 17. Ever since he was a toddler, we would bounce from the dermatologist to our general doctor, who would then send us to the allergist, who would send us to the dermatologist. The cycle just kept repeating.

What surprised you most about the program structure?

I was surprised by the sense of community that I felt. I didn't expect that; I expected at first more of one-on-one, just with a doctor. It did help me and helped me realize, okay, we're not the only ones.

How has your life changed since starting the program?

What I'm doing differently now would definitely just be the activities that I'm able to do and not have to worry about afterwards. I can just have fun and know that my skin will be fine and I won't be itchy at all. Always having clear skin is a nice confidence boost.

What specific clinical improvements did you see after starting LDA?

Once we started the doses, I feel like that's where things really turned and really kind of clicked in. His usage of steroid creams drastically reduced. He was able to completely go off Zyrtec. He's now completely off allergy shots. He would occasionally have a flare up, but it was less in intensity and wouldn't last for as long.

Are there any other benefits you noticed besides skin health?

I was surprised to see the overall health benefits I got outside of just my skin. I just felt healthier, more energized and stronger on a day-to-day basis than ever before on top of my obvious skin improvements.

Frequently asked

Is the Eczema Transformation Program worth the cost?

Kimberly Duffield admitted that the cost was her primary concern initially. However, because Tadd had been uncomfortable for so many years, the family decided to prioritize the investment to finally find a solution that worked.

What is the community aspect of Dr. Ana-Maria Temple's program like?

Kimberly was surprised by the sense of community, noting she originally expected only one-on-one doctor visits. The group environment helped her realize their family wasn't alone in their struggle with chronic skin issues.

Can you stop using steroid creams with this program?

According to Kimberly, Tadd's usage of steroid creams was drastically reduced after starting the LDA doses. He was also able to completely stop taking Zyrtec and discontinue his allergy shots.

Kimberly Duffield (00:00) What made me say "yes" to The Eczema Transformation Program was where we were at the beach with most of our family, and I just didn't find the energy to go just cause my eczema was so bad. I had hives all over my thighs so my swimsuit hurt whenever it got wet. I just didn't really think it was worth the energy to go swim in the ocean just because of the pain or discomfort that would follow. So that was kind of our breaking point when we decided that we had to make a I'm Kimberly Duffield, and I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm Tadd Duffield, and I also live in Atlanta, Georgia. Before working with The Eczema Transformation Program, I would say that a lot of our life, and especially Tadd's life, revolved around, is this activity going to bother me? We would have a family vacation, and we'd all want to be together doing fun things out on a boat or at the beach, and Tadd would have a good day, but then by the afternoon he would have broken out in hives, he would have a hard time sleeping at night unless I gave him Benadryl. He was on allergy shots, Zyrtec every day, steroid creams. None of that really seemed to help. Eczema was a major part of his life. The main reason we wanted to try the program is we had tried everything else. We started the program when he was 16, almost 17. Ever since he was a toddler, we would bounce from the dermatologist to our general doctor, who would then send us to the allergist, who would send us to the dermatologist. And the cycle just kept repeating. I would say one of the things that I was most worried about, obviously, is the cost of the We just decided this was something that was important enough to us that we were just going to figure out a way to pay for it because we had been so long and so many years of him being uncomfortable that we needed a change. I was surprised by the sense of community that I felt. I didn't expect that. I expected at first more of one-on-one, just with a doctor. It did help me and helped me realize, okay, we're not the only ones. What I'm doing differently now as opposed to before I started this program would definitely just be, like, the activities that I'm able to do, and not have to, like, worry about afterwards I can just have fun, and know that, like, my skin will be fine, and I won't be itchy at all. I think that's also another thing just always having clear skin is a nice just, kind of, confidence Before starting the LDA Program, I saw improvement in Tadd's skin, for sure. But once we started the doses, I feel like that's where things really turned and really kind of clicked in. His usage of steroid creams drastically reduced. He was able to completely go off Zyrtec. He's now completely off allergy shots, because you can't be on allergy shots when you're the LDA's. He would occasionally have a flare up, but it was less in intensity, and it wouldn't last for as long. For his LDA, he had the serum, and he's on low dose, and it was every six to seven weeks. They are just now bumping him up to a medium dose. I would recommend The Eczema Transformation Program to a friend or family member just cause of the overall benefits I get inside. I was surprised to see, like, the overall health benefits I got outside of just my skin. I just felt healthier, more energized and stronger on a day-to-day basis than like ever before on top of my obvious skin improvements, and It almost completely cleared up my So yeah, It obviously works, and works really well and... recommend it to
