All addicted people (not patients yet), whether it be opioids, amphetamines, alcohol, or steroid creams - all have the same comment - "I'm only using a little," "I can stop anytime," "I am not addicted," "Leave me alone." There is always a hint of anger in their comment because you might take away their 'fix.' [...]
I thought that with the slowing down of the flow of new patients during December that we were reaching a better position for all the suffering RSS patients. But, no, that was not to be; one patient from the hospital sent me a U-tube telling me of her abject severe pain and the hospital doctors [...]
Some thoughts about Dupilumab We all need input from patients who have been taking or took the drug. Information on patients on the drug has not been forthcoming. Tell us if you have had good results or no results. Yes, this is anecdotal, but we need some direction. The drug is extremely expensive - why? [...]
Scientific misinformation and disinformation is a crime against the patient. The NEA and their paid minions including ITSAN continue to disinform the public and perform dishonorable work that harms patients. They have chosen to ignore 35 years of my own published papers, lectures, websites, essays, and cured patients proving that complete and total withdrawal from [...]
The curiouser part unfolds as we examine the lecture - never given before in 30 years - that recommends steroids need to be handled, applied, tapered, and used very carefully. There is no mention of my 35 years of clinical observations concerning addiction to corticosteroids. The information that withdrawal from corticosteroids is the cure for [...]
The National Eczema Association (NEA) has adopted an Alice in Wonderland approach to steroid addiction. The NEA recently advertised a free webinar presentation to be viewed on August 23rd. The RN spokesperson will discuss how to “safely” start and taper off steroids. After 30 years of nonstop steroid advocacy, their published papers stating that addiction [...]
When is enough enough? Apparently Never for Big-Pharma. I have counted 11 useless therapies for the non-entity “bad eczema.“ These patients do not have “bad eczema” they are misdiagnosed Red Skin Syndrome (RSS) sufferers. Cure is already available but a curative treatment is only possible with a correct diagnosis. RSS patients are constantly and consistently [...]
A cured steroid addicted RSS patient forwarded the most recent advertisement from ITSAN to me. It is a call for patients to sign on to a study of RSS patients in Australia. It must be clarified for ITSAN that in appropriate medical parlance you do studies and lab tests when you do not have an [...]
Dr. John Sarno, 93, Dies; Best-Selling Author Tied Pain to Anxieties. Like anyone in medicine, he did not have ALL the answers, but he had many. He is a true champion who listened to his patients, learned from them, and helped others because of them. He left the basic science research to others who proved [...]
A new topical medication, Eucrisa, for treating eczema has recently been approved by the FDA. With keen interest I read every word of the backup study and publication in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology concerning then named Opa-15406, a novel topical non-steroidal PDE4 inhibitor. The study included patients who had just recently [...]
