Blog 42 concerns Dr. Aron’s topical steroid homeopathic remedy and claims of cure for Red Skin Syndrome (RSS), the condition that results from overuse of topical corticosteroids. Advocates of Dr. Aron’s program stridently declare on Facebook that all patients who do not follow his treatment are misinformed and undergoing needless discomfort with steroid withdrawal. These [...]
The Aron forces are out in number and well versed in ranting and raving. Theirs is not well thought out science - just harmful ranting and raving. John Stuart Mill, a 19th century libertarian, would be proud of their defiant independent approach to self destruction. It is okay for them to continue in their [...]
Dr. Aron’s promise of homeopathic “cure” requires intense scrutiny. The 3500 patients that I have seen had remarkably similar medical histories that began with eczema in childhood. My contention is that within months they became addicted to the topical corticosteroids that were typically prescribed. The redness, oozing from the skin, and the generalized erythema that [...]
To ITSAN: Two of my cured Red Skin Syndrome (RSS) patients asked me to review the ITSAN website because they were both so disturbed by its contents. After reading through the revamped site I am similarly appalled by what I perceive as ITSAN's three unforgivable sins. First, the sin of plagiarism. Every idea, word and [...]
In the journey to attain wellness from TSA, so many suggestions, hints, tidbits, absolutes, alternatives and bizarre thoughts have been written copied and advised with invariably poor results. Why is that enthusiasm is vast and vocal when an individual believes that an epiphany has been visited and therefore must be given to others? But when [...]
Dear Dr. Rapaport, I am profoundly grateful to you. I am writing to express my admiration and deep appreciation for your commitment to uncovering the existence of steroid induced eczema (Red Skin Syndrome) and your willingness to state publicly and candidly that the cure for RSS is total and complete withdrawal from steroids. My husband [...]
This is about my relationship with doctors who are not dermatologists. Many of us know good and not-so-good doctors. Competence is essential but there are additional factors that contribute to a good doctor/patient relationship such as friendliness, caring, a supportive office staff, and short wait times. I have good relationships with my doctors and confidence [...]
There is widespread medical misunderstanding of Red Skin Syndrome (RSS). When RSS is misdiagnosed the patient suffers through mistreatment as well. I have listed several of the “myths” that lead to misdiagnosis and mistreatment. It is a magnificent feeling to recognize the unity of complex phenomena which appear to be things quite apart from [...]
Several patients in the past year or two have found caring, open-minded physicians to help them. We need to search them out and ask them to help others. In this regard I am requesting the names, addresses and phone numbers of any internists, general practitioners, family practitioners, or dermatologists who have helped you no matter [...]
As stated earlier I am no longer affiliated with ITSAN even though I founded ITSAN and they continue to use my name, my work, and my videos. I am critical of ITSAN for abandoning its core mission to eliminate the suffering of those with Red Skin Syndrome (RSS) and to eradicate the condition forever. Cure [...]
