Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 I did a report on this surgery 15 months ago. It was accepted by the Dept. of Neurology at the University of Philedelphia as physicians reference. The report is one of only very few to have been written by a non-professional and accepted at that institution. The University of Philedelphia is considered to be the leading brain research center in the US. The surgery is for social blushing, (or other social phobia related problems) not cea or flushing. Some, however have reported a decrease or elimination of flushing/rosacea. Dr. Nase has been looking into it's usefulness for rosacea. There are a lot of things in common, as most or many with excessive blushing also have rosacea. If you have excessive social blushing, read my web-site at www.angelfire.com/ab/ets. I will be a chair at the 4th International Symposium on ETS surgery in 2001 (the part for laypeople)in Tampere, Finland. If you are interested in attending, please write me and I'll send you a brochure.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 I don't neccessarily agree with what is at the Redmask site. I think it is very one sided, and I believe that the type of surgery that was performed on this lady is more dangerous than the newer methods which are reversable with-in the first 2-6 months in the case of severe side-effects. I personally believe there are even better methods of the type she had done. I have nothing against the person who started the foundation, and with a few changes to the site, I'd be willing to support it. By the way, I think my name comes up as " unknown " I'm not sure why, but my name is Tom Cremer and my e-mail is tomcremer@... > >To: rosacea-supportegroups >Subject: " Redmask " website? >Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2000 14:39:02 -0800 (PST) > > >Has anyone checked out this website called Redmask?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2000 Report Share Posted March 11, 2000 cea is sometimes found with blushing/flushing but is not necessarily found together. There has been some talk on this forum, but there is a more dedicated bulletin board. See the links below.
