Re: About my Demodex.........

Hey RClarke54, I am new to the demodex thing, and I am not a doctor so... :) But to answer your questions (based on what I think and know..) 1) I know that when you look at demodex mites under a microscope, they are usually clear. They look like cigars. 2) No, it is not possible to see demodex mites...

Re: undeniable observations : 20 months and not cured

Hey JS, I'm sorry that the zz cream has not worked for you. I also do not think it is stupid of you to have used these products for 20 months. It is good to have hope, so do not lose that. I agree with the people that said maybe your immune system is not up to par. Try taking a multi vitamin (especi...

Re: using zz ointment while pregnant

*I am not a doctor *I do not know all of the ingredients in zz cream (only the people affiliated with it know). But... sulphur is pretty safe as long as it is used in normal doses. same thing with zinc oxide (it's in sunscreen and pregnant women use sunscreen). etc. As long as you are not using it o...

Re: Tea Tree Oil in the right form is VERY effective

Another thing I forgot to mention..

you can NOT dilute an oil with water.
It does not work this way because water and oil does not mix.
you must use another oil (carrier).

Re: Tea Tree Oil in the right form is VERY effective

Just thought I would help to answer some of these questions... Tea tree oil has basically blown up the last few years as like this... ermm... "miracle oil". lol I have personally tried tea tree oil (from many different brands), and tea tree oil products. I unfortunately have not had any re...

Diet affect demodex? Just curious

Hi Walter! And everybody else. lol =P Do you guys know if diet has an effect on demodex. I am an oily person, so it doesn't seem to matter if I eat a salad or a cheeseburger. My skin still produces sebum, and I guess the mites love this? But I always read on acne.org of how people notice their sympt...

Re: Demodex Journal - With Pictures

Hi Stefan! I like your positive attitude, and your willingness to give demodex a fair shot! I've only been using it for 1 month, so I can keep you updated as well. When I was reading most of these posts, a lot of people didn't really get to the point that they wanted to be until around 6 months. So ...

Re: Crem ZZ - vasomotor rhinitis.

Hey Przemek, I saw your post right when you posted it, but I didn't really know the answer to your question, and was hoping someone more knowledgable than me would be able to answer and help you. It looks like vasomotor rhinitis symptoms are caused by a trigger. And in your case, it looks like you h...

Re: COCONUT OIL HELPS!!!

That's awesome that the coconut oil works for you. I can not use it topically because it always breaks me out. (well... this was before I used zzcream). It would also make my hair VERY itchy and my seborrhea worse. Maybe it was the mites dying? lol I don't know. I have read many many many great thin...
