Let my pain be your gain.
My name is Kevan & I had chronic eczema for the first 18 years of my life. It is my mission to help you with your skin problem as I have been through hell & back & I don't want you to go through what I did.
My entire body was itchy, infected, raw & cracking. I was on strong cortisones for over ten years. Every night I would be scratching, unable to sleep & in physical and mental trauma.
I was so itchy I would hit myself & sometimes pour alcohol on my skin. Everyday I would wake up to a pile of dead skin, bloody limbs & a reduced will to live. I also struggled with my weight, had glasses, braces & pimples, real lucky! To top it off I had asthma as a young kid too.
I rarely slept without strong antihistamines, I was allergic to everything & I felt trapped in a body that didn't match me. Inside was a bright, adventurous, curious, joyful spirit waiting to blossom.
Symptom suppression is not health.
My parents took me to the top dermatologists. They kept putting me on stronger cortisones, antibiotics & antihistamines. Little to no emphasis was placed on diet & lifestyle factors & I was told I would have eczema all my life.
I desperately tried every cream, drug, diet, supplement & alternative therapy. I always saved up my money so I could visit the chemist every week and buy new products to try. Everything from emu oil, to honey, paw paw, calendula, coal tar, light therapy, Chinese herbs, coconut oil, oat baths, wet wraps, aloe, urine therapy. You name it, I've tried it! Nearly all of them were irritating & stinging my skin, & nothing worked long term.
At eighteen, my skin was at its worst from poor diet and the stress of finals. I was exhausted, depressed and my skin could not get any worse. People would constantly ask me if I was burnt! After I while I just said yes as it was easier than explaining eczema. Everytime I did people would stupidly think I've never heard of using moisturiser for my dry skin!
You can rebuild yourself from rock bottom.
I was so drained I had little will left to live. From the base of my shower I surrendered & asked to be shown rock bottom. At least it could only go up from there.
I was proud that I had survived. I wasn't going to fail at the final hurdle. In that moment I took full responsibility for my own health. I would forget everything I had been told by doctors & the quick fixes.
I became obsessed with health spending countless hours researching the skin, diets & immune system. I discovered it was the personal care products, chemical allergens, leaky gut & damage caused from topical steroid use.
Within a year, 90% of my eczema cleared & I lost 10kg. I had a new lease on life, developed confidence and my skin looked great. I was so grateful to be able to do simple things like play sport, eat out freely and wear a tshirt and shorts without being stared at. No longer was I defined as 'the guy with eczema' but as an ambitious, social young man with the world at his feet.

Let us help you with your skin problems.
We all deserve to live full lives unrestricted by our skin. Unfortunately, modern life, toxins & harsh personal care products often lead to skin issues. The typical Western medical approach to skin problems is based on symptom management. Why? You are more profitable sick than cured & they don't have the tools of holistic health. You deserve better.
Kevan's life was devastated by the short sighted typical approach. He doesn't want others to have to go through what he did & wanted to create a system for sharing his hard earned health wisdom. He created Aether to be a medium for light; this is where our name comes from! Experience skin freedom & realise yourself.
