A GREAT IDEA TO HELP US ALL

Post by tkr »

For those who would like to be tested for the mites first and cannot find a derm or specialist to check for the mites, We should have names of the ones who can test us in U.S, Canada...and so on so that we can at least get a lead and help as to find one who can do it. It can be beneficial for everyone. Just a thought

Hey you can also do the check yourself for a lot less than it would cost to go to a derm and get it done.. go on ebay and find a cheap microscope that has a 600x magnification. theres videos on this site that show you how to check yourself.. I went and bought one for 60 bucks on ebay, even though I have never used it lol. once I used the product I knew for a fact that I had the mites, so I didn't need any proof.. but yeah deffinetly check that out first, derms are just to expensive and most of them will not take you seriusly if you ask them about mites.

Hello

It would indeed be great to be able to refer to dermatologists who can/ are willing to do a demodex mites test, hopefully that time will come but for the moment it is not easy to find, probably there are some but where?

Isnt it ironic that dermatologists are hard to find to help us combat the very problem that derms are suppose to help us with...ridiculous!! I live in canada (have health card coverage) and yet people dont even know of the mites???WHAT Its a sad world we live in Im sorry to say this. But how Ignorant it is. Tamara

It is the same problem in Norway. The doctors seem to ignore demodex existence.

Here's an example of how ignorant american doctors are of demodex. I requested that he check my scalp and face and he just fished through the crown of my head looking around without any proper magnification, then said there was nothing.

Got my own damn microscope and slides and confirmed their presence several times.

It's that liability thing.

I would test people voluntarily if I knew for certain that not one single person would ever harm themselves, then claim that it was because of the test, and get a lawyer to drag me into court to take away everything I own and more.

Many doctors are limiting their practices for that and similar reasons.

It's a shame.

The good news is, we can make educated decisions about whether or not mites are at the root of our skin problems. Then, we can use Demodex Solutions' products and see the difference for ourselves.

The upshot is this: If you think that mites are a problem for you, they probably are. It is not necessary to see them.

It would, however, be nice to see the decrease in population and egg counts as we treat ourselves. We could then be satisfied that the decline in mites corresponds to the improvement in our skin. This, I verify for you, since I was able to frequently test and observe my progress.

Sincerely,
Marla
