		<description>I had bought this chinese-made product a few years back...It showed improvement, but the instant I had done using the product, the scrawling feelings came back all over my body.

The product is not cheap, but i may buy it again...They have a host of other product, but cost a lot..Up to $70..

If anyone have cure for demotex, please post it here...I can&#039;t stand of having insect walk all over my body...Although I&#039;ve become use to it, it really freaked me out once i realize what was scrawling on my body.</description>

		<description>Al Cronin and Sharon have you tried tea tree oil shampoo? This is supposed to kill the mite. You can also use the actual oil on your scalp for severe conditions. Sharon, I suggest you do this as you said you have patterned baldness. I would also suggest looking at your diet. I had an incredibly irritated scalp and itch with no rash all over my body, and am just trying out a low salicylate diet (found in most fruits, processed foods etc) and have cut out Aspartame (artificial sweetener) and so far have seen an improvement, but it is early days yet to tell if that is the problem. Every one is different and I hope you find what works for you. 

All the best,

		<description>Quote: &quot;Every pre-med student is ultimately asked the question: why do you want to become a doctor. Inevitably, they all give the same, banal answer: I want to help people.&quot;

That&#039;s from a REAL doctor who treats Lyme Disease.

Here&#039;s how much Dr. Anderson, the author of this article, wanted to help people:

On Fri Nov 24, 2000, she published this piece detailing her &quot;study.&quot;

On Fri Dec 1, 2000 - ONE WEEK LATER - she resigned from the group and terminated her &quot;study&quot; after one member showed an adverse reaction.

Here&#039;s an extract from her resignation message: &quot;As I am free of any and all rosacea symptoms now, I&#039;m concentrating on my other area of interest, insulin resistance.&quot;

Translation: &quot;I&#039;m all right, Jack. The rest of you can go hang.&quot;

She has not been heard from since.

She also refers to demodex as &quot;benign.&quot; Oh, really? Externally and internally, demodex carry dangerous bacteria, fungi, and viruses (including HIV/AIDS). The fungus they harbour in their gut to enable them to digest food directly attacks the human immune system.

Benign? No, the word the good doctor is groping for here is &quot;commensal.&quot; Which means the mites benefit, and you don&#039;t. And it is a scientific fact that changes in its chemical environment can cause an organism to alter its lifestyle from commensal or symbiotic to parasitic.

Eleven years later, people are still pleading for help here on this thread. It took me 18 months before I realised that I was NEVER EVER going to get anything from the medical community other than a delusional diagnosis. No scrapings, no blood tests, no immune system tests, no tests for underlying illnesses, no allergy tests - nothing but an eyeballing and a history-taking. And once the sensation of crawling was mentioned, bingo - you&#039;re psychotic!

Oh, you may get the odd doctor who&#039;ll prescribe a topical pesticide like permethrin, ivermectin, or malathion. But the problem with this is that pest-killing companies (and doctors) have been using these for so long and so freely that insect pests have now become resistant to them. Which is exactly how medicine managed to destroy the most powerful tool in its own arsenal - antibiotics.

Biology 101: any organism under threat will either die out or evolve to cope with that threat.

The bottom line is that you&#039;ll get no cure from medicine. If you&#039;re very, very lucky, you MAY get an open-minded doctor or dermatologist who MAY prescribe something to help you manage the problem. In other words, treatment. At a cost. But no cure.

Of course, you&#039;ll still get the odd would-be medical careerist or butterfly mind alighting on the problem every now and again. Until it eventually dawns on them that mites just don&#039;t make glamorous medicine.

The ONLY real help I&#039;ve received for my demodex nightmare came from a natural healer with an extensive professional background in research chemistry , a supremely courageous and inventive Las Vegas woman, and a bunch of other extraordinary &quot;ordinary&quot; people.

Not one single doctor or dermatologist among them.

You can find that help documented here:

By the way, the Lyme doctor&#039;s blog can be read here (and it&#039;s a real eye-opener):

http://lymemd.blogspot.com/2010/02/evidence-based-medicine-critical.html

Final word: medics like Dr. Anderson are about as useful to humanity as a chocolate fireplace.</description>

		<description>I do not have a bad case of Rosacea, although after reading your article I realized I experience many of the symptoms from time to time.
My concern is that I have a great sensitivity to mites and have been iritated by them for many years.  I tried to talk to my dermatologist about demodex mites and he scoffed at the thought. He eventually took a scraping from the back of my neck and agreed there were mites present. He prescribed Permethrin cream which I use occasionally. I try to keep my hair cut short.  The problem is they just keep coming. I mean I feel them on my ears, my neck, my forehead and up my nose. I keep my nose hair cut also. Three years ago I had shingles around one eye and although it appeared to all go away, I occasionally get twitches and I swear there are mites in that eyebrow. 
I cannot sit on upholstered furniture either in my home or elsewhere. I use foam pillows and a special mattress cover.
I welcome any suggestions to help with the mite problem. I am 70 YO and need some relief after all the years I have been bothered by these meanspirited creatures.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Thanks</description>

		<description>I am in Australia and would like to know if the study is still continuing.  I went to see my doctor today about my rosacea and he advised me of this site and the study.  My only problem area is my nose but the last few months it has become worse with developing sores and and swelling on some parts of the nose.  I&#039;m sick of having to apply thick make-up every day to cover it up and looking like Rudolph!</description>

		<description>I bought the Tea tree oil shampoo and face lotion, it doesn&#039;t do well on my resacean face skin, and it isn&#039;t of much help for my scalp(reduces the itching the first 5 seconds I apply it on), after that it doesn&#039;t do any real good to me. 
PLEASE DOES ANYONE KNOW A GOOG SHAMPOO TO TREAT THE DEMODEX MITES?
Everyone is suggesting good products fr face and body, but I don&#039;t find anything about the shampoo. Please help!Thanks!</description>
