Michele, there's the rub -- whether considering ETS or anything else, no one should base their clinical decision on anyone's personal experience. It's wonderful to empathize with another who describes the same physical and emotional pain one is experiencing, and to learn about rosacea and gain tips and insight. But whether Dr. Nase's skin is better, worse, or unchanged from last year, it has no relation to anyone else's condition. Following another person's personal treatment plan, even if they were 100% successful or 100% failed, isn't predictive of how others will respond to the same treatment. That's what controlled studies are for -- to validate results for everyone. Besides, as you and many others here know, ETS isn't even a treatment for rosacea, just one of its symptoms. So how Dr. Nase's rosacea is doing makes even less than no difference (if that's possible. <g>) Thanks for the kind words, Michele.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 I'm sorry, but I don't see that Dr. Nase " owes " us much of anything. He reseached and wrote a book about rosacea. He was kind enough to answer some of our questions on this board and be as helpful as he could. Now some seem to feel we own him. They resent that, at a time in his life when he is probably way overburdened by his own serious problems, he isn't here helping us with our rosacea. Sorry, I just don't see it.
