life long issues

Hi there Kelly. Have been reading your forum for a while and really agree with your path of advice. I am hoping you can help me out.

For starters, I completely understand healthy eating (or so I think) and really advocate raw foodism-I understand to not eat processed foods, no grains or starches other than Ezekiel bread (don't know if you are familiar with that, just sprouted bread) and really try to limit my diet to fresh veggies, fruits and seeds. I am really new to learning about the proper way to eat, and haven't quite gotten it down pat. I still cheat every once in a while, and I really have only been doing this for about a month.

My issues are mostly centered around my horrible allergies, seasonal and also indoor allergies and the large dark circles around my eyes which have always been there. I also do not have the clearest complexion, not that I have acne but just not nice soft skin. I have mild exczema over my whole body, worse on my calves and arms. My understanding of exczema is that my body is trying to expel toxins the only way it knows how, however I am not sure how to fix it. I have been on corticosteroids my whole life, but recently stopped using them. I also recently stopped taking birth control and refuse to take allergy medication.

Basically I am looking for some way to clear up my skin, puffy dark circles and my exczema. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
