antibiotics, how they work

[Guest guest]

I was wondering how the antibiotics work with rosacea. If what Dr.

Nase says is true, this isn't a condition of yeast or bacteria ...

which I thought antibiotics treated. And if it's the anti-inflammatory

capabilities of the medicine, why don't other anti-inflammatories

work, like wobenzyme and aspirin, curcumin, efa's, vitamin C ....

whatever else is out there. Is it a question of dosage? I'm a little

frustrated because I went off antibiotics for 6 days and my skin

started to itch and burn again. I took an antibiotic and within a half

hour my skin felt fine. ALso if the antibiotics are used for the

anti-inflammatory value, why are they not prescribing

anti-inflammatories and antibiotics instead? Anybody know. MB

I remember I asked my dermatologist over twenty years ago this question,

" Why does tetracycline control rosacea? " and he answered,

" We do not know. " I imagine you will find that today, while there may be

theories, there still is no answer. The philosophy of medicine in this

case is,

'if it works, don't worry. " But what do you think the long term effects

of years of taking antibiotics may be?
