There are several of the corporate members, including myself, that would love to see some research on diet/lifestyle/alternative treatment for rosacea. If you read the ASK THE MAC section about the question whether the MAC thinks this is a good idea or not, it was voted approved. This was discussed at this topic >
The majority of the MAC members approved it (at the time there were only about a dozen members of the MAC). Obviously the RRDi cannot sponsor any research that our MAC disapproves of, so any research grant in the final form would have to be approved by a majority of the MAC. It is a very controversial subject and if you read the responses of those MAC members who did reply to this subject, you can see that some feel it is a waste of research money.
At this point, if you want to volunteer your time on this it is up to you.
If you have doubts about spending a lot of your volunteer time on this one, you could post a question to the MAC and hopefully someday they will answer it. All the professional MAC members are very busy and have said they would devote 15 minutes a month answering our questions if they have the time. I am trying to increase the number of MAC members so that when some are busy then others could take up the slack and hopefully with a large number of physicians and health care professionals in the MAC we can tap into some good advice. Getting people to volunteer is no easy task and getting volunteer grant writers is even a harder task, but I am grateful you are posting your questions.
I am 14 weeks into a diet that eliminates dysbiosis in the gut. I was 105kgs when Rosacea hit me fairly hard since then I am 89kgs!!!
I have great days but still pretty bad days. Naturally a very anxious person i struggle with people looking at my face even though its sometimes hardly noticable!!
My Herbalist said that we must treat the dysbiosis over a long period of time and in return the Rosacea with the help of Doxycycline should become under control.
