Case 1.
Getting out of the severe itch Namie Kuramoto, a 22-year-old college student in Kochi Prefecture, had been suffering from atopic dermatitis since she was 2 years old. She tried in vain every available medicine administered by many hospitals. Her skins got much cornfield like an elephant's ones, hard and dark. Nobody could have realized her tortures unless they suffered from these severe diseases. She slept with gloves on, and when she got up in the morning, she found her skins scratched around bleeding.

The only way she could rely on was the specific medicine "steroid hormone drug." It is very effective against allergy and atopy, but it will produce a severe side effect if used for a long time. It will spoil the stomach, liver, and kidney. So, she stopped using it, and a severe "rebound" attacked her. She had lymph glands much swollen under the arm, at the leg joints, and at the neck. The bed sheet and quilt were wet with yellow juice coming out from her skins. Her mouth got full of skin eruptions and she could not eat anything but soup and milk. She could not go to college. She never believed in anything.

Her mother happened to learn about Stevia, and told her, "Take me at my word for this once and drink this." But she could not even believe her mother. Tenaciously recommended that this was the only drink that reduced the side effect of the steroid hormone drug, she reluctantly started to try Stevia Extract Liquid, drinking 5 cc every morning, and applying it on her skins after taking a bath. One week, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks passed without any effect. She thought this was no good after all, and was about to stop using it.

In one month it was taking effect. Her itch was getting less, rashes were disappearing, and her skins were getting smoother. After several months, she had no more itch and recovered the normal skin that she had never had before.
