Also a side note... someone recently posted their experience with Stromectol (oral anti-fungal; see
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ro ... sage/70432 ), and his skin side effects seemed very similar to my current ones with the xx cream and Fumanling. Not saying Stromectol does the same thing (it's actually supposed to kill off excess yeast that might cause seb derm), but it just amused me to see that other things that can be helpful can cause horrible break out and dry skin before producing the good results.
Stromectol is not an anti fungal, it is a medicine developed against river blindness, a parasite which lay's his eggs in the eyes, causing blindness, it kills the parasites by destroying there nerve system.
It is widely used now against parasites in life stock, pets etc.
also one of the best medicines against scabies but a bit dangerous and can have site effects, some pets and/or life stocks can die from it.
I red an article once on the internet, can not remember where, but it was about a test the did with this drug in Africa on a wide scale in an effort to eliminate this parasite but they had to stop it
because to dangerous, some people died and they could not eliminate the parasite anyway.
Stromectol doesn't suppose to pass the brain barrier but......................................
It will do nothing against demodex mites, only kill some adults and after a couple of day's without itch it will be even worse, even with stromectol you can not reach them all and once again,
not the eggs and nymphs, I took it myself so I know, I took 5 times in a row every other 3 day's, the maximum dose, with no help at all, yes, for some day's and then worse.
I wonder why people on that forum want to try this?
against what?
taking a risk for nothing?
If they would have scabies ore other parasite I would say yes, but for what?
They have to kill pets with demodex mites sometimes, if stromectol would eliminate them, why do they need to kill them?
it only works a bit and for a short time.
I can not say this many times enough, only a continious treatment for a longer time will give results, I gues this is one more reason they always conclude demodex mites or not the reason, they never treat for a long time and if they would, with what are they going to do it?
