Traditional Chinaian Medicine has been used thousands of years and proved to be remarkably successful in some fields, especially to chronic diseases.


Introduction:

Ichthyosis is a group of different skin conditions and the commonest sort is IV(Ichthyosis Vulgaris)

We extract an herbal lotion in traditional medicine of China. Up to now, more than one hundred IV patients have tried it and the rate of the significant improvement is 70%. Furthermore, about 20% people do not have a relapse in 6 months and thus I think they are cured.


How to Use:

1. Have a wash and clean the skin. But don't use the soap, oil, cream or anything else.

2. Daub the lotion to the scaly skins.

3.Take a sitz bath after 20 minutes and keep the temperature of water higher than 40 C (104 F). At the same time, please rub the scaly skin with a clean towel.

4. Towel off after 60 minutes. Then daub the lotion again and get dressed after 10 minutes. Please keep it on your body until the next bathe.

5. Repeat it once every 24 hours.

In view of one has the substance on the skin, the first two steps can be reduced from the 2nd day. That is, one can go to have a bath directly and then daub the lotion. It is unnecessary to clean the skin and daub the lotion before the bath in next days.


Dosage:

It depends on the area of the scaly skins. In general, a course of treatment is 9 days and 300ml is enough to a Chinaian patient.


Caution:

1. I'm just an amateur rather than a professional physican. I have not the license of the doctor.

2. This lotion has not been approved and certificated by FDA or any other organization.

3. It is not oral and pregnant women are prohibited.

4. The herbs have been used in China thousands of years and they should be safe. At the same time, I haven¡¯t heard of any side effect. But we cannot ignore the existence because the related experiments have not been done.

5. The patients with anaphylaxis should do a test before using the lotion.

You sound like a quack, Bud. 20% cure for Vulgaris? There is no cure for Vulgaris, a genetic and hereditary condition. The best that someone with severe Vulgaris can do for himself or helself is to live in as warm and as humid a climate he or she can find. That is as close as you can get to being symptoms free. But the symptoms will come back with a vengence if and when the climate, outdoor and indoor, turns cold and dry or when you stop using whatever lotion that TEMPORARILY alleviates discomfit and mask the scales.

I also guarantee you that whatever works or does not work for CHINESE would be the same for Whites and Blacks, whatever you are trying to peddle.

And don't bother replying to me either. I have no time to argue. We regulars on this forum don't care for snake-oil peddlers.
