Re: Demodex Solutions and Dr. Nase

Without taking any sides here, the role (or non-role) of demodex
mites in rosacea symptoms and Demodex Solutions is something that
will continue to come up on this forum. Newbies will always ask
questions and any new study connecting demodex mites to rosacea or
rosacea-like symptoms will reignite the topic, just like with any
other treatmet (e.g., IPL, Accutane). In particular, since some
people DO experience improvement after eliminating demodex mites or
after using Demodex Solutions products, it will continue to be a
source of curiosity. So, I know it's frustrating to keep going over
this, particularly if you think the role of demodex in rosacea is
exaggerated, but it's not so much because people are doubting the
claims made as people are either gathering rosacea info for the
first time (i.e., they are newbies) or are trying to fit some new
piece of info into their current conceptualization of this disorder.

Also, given that we've well established that everyone is unique and
everyone responds differently to treatments, I think it is best, on
any topic, that the posts try to be along one of these lines: 1)
Seeking information/have question, 2) Posting about what has or has
not worked for you personally (or stating that such and such seems
to have worked for lots of board members), and 3) Posting about new
studies. While it's justified to say that Demodex Solutions or any
other company is making claims beyond the scope of its product,
there also needs to be some recognition that the products have
worked for some people (even if what about it specifically is
working for the person is unknown).

Personally, I'm sick of all the IPL questions just because they
don't apply to me currently, but obviously these are important to
those asking them. I either just don't read them or skim them.
