Lars - After two weeks, the itching was gone.

Article in Hemmets Veckotidning magazine:

For several years, Lars Nilsson suffered from itchy rashes. The doctors were helpless, but his partner Bodil refused to give up hope. Help came from a small berry.

Out in the countryside in Värsjö, northern Skåne, Lars Nilsson and his partner Bodil Hansson have had their own paradise for 20 years: a winterised and converted summer cottage. As Lars has worked as a carpenter all his life, we are welcomed into a solidly built cottage. Lars and Bodil are beaming as brightly as the sun. And it's easy to understand why they are so happy now when Lars tells us: "

" "In the spring of 2011, my arms and back suddenly started to itch, and it spread to my legs and scalp. And my face swelled up considerably." "

" Lars, who had never had any problems with allergies or eczema before, was puzzled. So was Bodil – and so were the doctors, as it turned out.

- At the doctor's office in Örkelljunga, they thought Lars had developed an allergy and prescribed tablets, says Bodil. When that didn't help, he was referred to a dermatologist in Helsingborg, who prescribed softening and cortisone.

"Suddenly, I noticed that the itching was getting better. And after another two weeks, it was totally gone. It was so awesome to be able to sleep through the night!"
