The Rosacea Blog Manifesto
I wanted to post a manifesto for the way we report here on the rosacea blog.
We want to help people with rosacea. We do this by speeding up dissemination of new information, hopefully helping in our own little way to bring about a cure.
We aim to bring to attention new treatments, protocols, viewpoints, from a wide range of people with different experiences in treating this disorder. This includes physicians, researchers, laser practitioners, patients, skincare companies, and more.
We are not in anyone's pocket!
We have not and will not receive any payments or favours from physicians. Occasionally we may in the future request samples of new products or skincare treatments, but we will always
state if we have tried something and received it for free.
We will probe, ask questions, report dissenting viewpoints, bring attention to problems, point out possible improvements and try to paint a healthy, wide-ranging viewpoint on all issues.
We strongly believe that if someone is recommending a treatment / doctor or product, and is being paid by that doctor for whatever reason, then that recommendation is questionable and should be declared in full, up front.
