Re: Immediate results

Hi Eden, Sorry, I have no idea what the black specks are. I haven't had that experience but have read in the blog of others who have. From what I understand, the feces are left under the skin. That is what causes some of the irritation experienced. I tried to read most of Walter's entries in this bl...

Re: Immediate results

Hi Eden, Sounds like you might have gotten attacked by bed bugs while visiting your friend. What I am finding with this process is that you have a period when things go well and then it seems like you are having a relapse. When you read all the Demodex Solution literature, you find that is because o...

If your eyes are irritated by the menthol in the ZZ

For those of you who find your eyes are irritated by the menthol in the ZZ ointment, my allergist gave me a wonderful tip. Before applying the ZZ ointment, put eye drops in your eyes (like artificial tears). That will coat the eyeballs and keep the menthol from affecting them so much. Works really w...

Re: Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks for the clarification Rosie. I purchased the 100% therapeutic grade sea buckthorn oil from Sibu. Also got their soap and a tasty sea buckthorn tonic to drink. Purchased it from iherb.com as they had the best price. Was told to use very little of the oil and to apply it on a moistened face for...

Re: Has this happened to anyone else?

Wow, Rosie, that's a terrific progress report. 80% gone. May it continue to improve.

I got some of your suggested sea buckthorn to take internally and apply externally. Hope it helps.

Take care.
Nina

Re: Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi Rosie, Thanks once again for your support. I wrote Walter at the "info" email address and still have heard nothing. He must be away or something. Don't know. I will look into the holistic testing. Appreciate the suggestion. BTW, the instructions for both creams say to boost your immune ...

Re: Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks, Rosie. I feel the same having your support. Appreciate your recommendation to email Walter directly. I actually did a few days ago but have had no reply. I sent my email to the "questions" address. Maybe I will resend to the "info" address. I was disappointed not to hear ...

Re: Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi Rosie, I did as you suggested and went back to the ZZ ointment last night. I also saw in another post to put the ointment on right before going to bed and close your eyes immediately so the menthol fumes don't irritate. I did that and it seemed to help. My eyeballs weren't aching this morning.......

Re: Has this happened to anyone else?

Rosie, Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. Yes, I will follow up on your suggestion and reintroduce the ZZ cream only at night every few days. Took a short walk today and felt the itch rising up on my face. Wonder if that will ever go away when the mites go away? Would be nice wouldn't it?....

Has this happened to anyone else?

Has anyone had this reaction? I love the ZZ cream but something in it doesn't love me. After starting to use the ZZ ointment, the glands in my neck started to feel swollen. The bridge of my nose aches and the inside passage seems swollen. I have a slight headache and my eyes ache. There is a feeling...

Re: Immediate results

Hi Rosie, Sorry to be confusing in my post about using a spray bottle. I don't put the ointment in the spray but just use the spray to moisten my face after washing and patting dry. I have a sprayer that is already filled with a special thermal water which is supposed to be soothing and anti-irritat...

Immediate results

I am so grateful. I have seen immediate results. My rosacea is a new development that has been progressively getting worse over the past year. It presents itself most aggressively after I have been hiking (sun, sweat, heat) or working outside. My face gets swollen and the red areas which cover cheek...
