Re: Re: Fwd: rosacea-resolved

[Guest guest]

Actually, a lot of people have emailed him back and he has not

responded--this was a strange post but i would not be too quick to dismiss

that SSRIs are of no value. I have read a few anecdotal testimonies on

other boards that Effexor is effective for some in reducing flushing.

On some acne boards, i have read stories of how some have treated their

condition through skilled relaxtion which does have some effects on some of

the chemicals released by certian organs--i am not a doctor so I am not sure

how it all works but these people were not trying to sell anything, just

relating their own personal stories.

I think we all know that the human brain is the most extraordinary creation

on the face of this planet so why not try to fix the brain first and see

what the effects may be on the rest of our body--I am not a new age thinker

type, but this whole concept (SSRI) seems somewhat rational to me--hey not

much else is working.
