A cure...A cause...A study?

[Guest guest]

To those of you afflicted and affected;

I have been reading some of the overwhelming amounts of E-mail here for the

past month with keen interest for I too have been diagnosed as being

" rosacean " .

There appear to be a lot of theories & some formulae which appear to work

for some...and unfortunately not for others.

Perhaps we are not all of the same affliction but of similar symptoms with

widely varying histories, genetic structures, and chemical sensitivities.

You may have a theory on how you developed rosecea.

You may know exacly what your triggers are.

A multitude of factors may be involved.

The one thing that stands out is the number of people available here with

problems.

This appears to be a huge opportunity for a propper scientific study.

A detailed exhaustive MASSIVE time consuming survey done on the net with

questions DEVELOPED BY INPUT FROM EVERYONE HERE may answer some questions.

Unfortunately , the scientific know-how and number crunching statistical

analysis ability are beyond my reach at this point.

Until then , the cause(s) may not be determined.

Thanks for reading.

And writing.
