:

I agree with you too. I think we all have to be positive and optimistic

about new developments in the coming years.

I agree with , not only will Dr. Nase's book answer most of

the questions that we've been asking, it will point researchers/physicians

in the right directions and spawn a huge amount of new, worthwhile

research on rosacea based upon what he has discovered himself.

Just because dermatologists don't have all the answers today doesn't

mean the answers to our problems aren't out there in other fields of

medicine - this is what I believe Dr. Nase has been finding.

Just my thoughts.

Hi and everyone,

I looked at the web page for Dr. Nase that someone posted - he has had

amazing results, and I'd really like to know what he did to heal his

rosacea, but it doesn't say on his web page. I'm new here, and I'm

sorry if this is covering old ground for most of you, but would

appreciate any input.

Does Dr. Nase post to this board? Can someone summarize for me (and

other newcomers) what his work is about, and his book? What has he

been finding in other areas of medicine that pertains to rosacea? I am

very interested in this, because I *know* this rosacea didn't just

come out of nowhere --- there has to be a reason(s) for it. Yet my

dermatologist made it seem like there was no point in even thinking

about the underlying cause(s) -- just handed me a prescription for

Metrocream and that was it. I know if I could figure out what caused

my rosacea, I could treat it much more effectively, and probably the

same applies for each of us.

Thank you for any replies!

There is progress. My derm told me about a laser treatment now being

developed that won't bruise at all, you can go to work the next day. It is

not available yet, but maybe soon. Maybe all the development is focused on

laser treatment because that's where the big bucks are!

Re: Topical Steroid Therapy -Reply

Look at the progress with technology over the past decade.. it's really

insane if you think about it. Look at how much we've progressive in the

technological field. Look at the photoderm.. look at the work Dr. Nase is

doing. For years the options were metrogel and antibiotics. Now we have

photoderm, we have the proper oils, we have rosacea-ltd... progress is being

made, so if you don't have optomism, what do we have? This attitude stinks

and I'll have no part of it.
