Melasma - Is This the Clear Solution?: Amazon.ca: Vanessa Wild: Books

Product Description

Do you have melasma or any other form of stubborn hyperpigmentation on your face or elsewhere on your body? Have you tried all available conventional treatments and spent a small fortune, only for the dark patches to remain steadfast if not worsen? Are you lacking in confidence socially? Are you afraid to go outdoors to bask in the sunshine? Are you embarrassed, depressed or frustrated about having this disease? Then why not try out a new method of treatment that has so far yielded exciting and promising results? This therapy is safe, inexpensive and rewarding, and has been proven to work for many sufferers via an ongoing Internet chat-room experiment that I initiated in January 2002. Just 7 months later, approximately 100 women were reaping the benefits of supplementing their diets with a remarkable nutrient called MSM Sulphur...could this be the clear solution for you too?

5.0 out of 5 stars This is MY solution!, May 10 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Melasma - Is This the Clear Solution? (Paperback)

I have had melasma for years and everything I have tried has been useless! It just comes right back afterwards. Then desperately searching the net for help one day I found the site www.melasma.co.uk, I read the info, studied the before and after photos then still feeling a bit uncertain I contacted Miss Wild herself. She was very helpful and explained that even with MSM there were no guarantees that my melasma would go, but that if I followed all the steps in the book carefully it would increase my chances of seeing results. She also said that she has plans to update her book one day and that even more natural alternative solutions will be included, all tried and tested of course by true melasma sufferers, just in case MSM doesn't work for the reader. So you have a choice now all you lot out there - take it! You don't have to put up with being fobbed off by derms with harmful bleaching creams that cost $$$$$$!!! Anyway feeling encouraged to give this a real shot I went ahead and ordered the book. I am happy to say that I haven't looked back since! The book outlines exactly what you need to do so read it over and over again before you start, it isn't just about taking MSM sulfur, there's a lot more to it than that. There are numerous encouraging testimonials included from fellow sufferers from all corners of the globe lending weight to the realization that this really could be the only natural alternative solution to conventional treatments for melasma. Mine hasn't totally gone yet but what I have left no longer darkens in the sun which is great news for me! Keep spreading the word Vanessa and thank you again and again!

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, April 29 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Melasma - Is This the Clear Solution? (Paperback)

The author's "studies" were done via chatroom/internet emails of other women that tried her 'cure'. No proof, no pictures, nothing to back up her claims. A lot of: "It SEEMS like it's getting better" "I THINK it might be getting better..." " I can't tell if it's working..." blah-blah-blah. Her "studies" were done for such a short time, she didn't even know the outcome of most of the women as they were still trying it.

The author claims that MSM-a supplement one can buy at the healthfood store, 'cured' her melasma. However there are no doctor/medical backed studies about her claims, and only ONE before/after photos which wasn't very impressive. She says to take as little or as much as needed-this is quite vague.

As the book says nothing on the proper dosage (anything from 1000mg up to 10,000mg)you don't even have to buy the book to try the 'cure'. Just buy some MSM and see what happens. I tried taking the MSM orally and topically and it did NOTHING. I got more results with Retin A & Hydroquinone.

I want my money back!

This review is from: Melasma - Is This the Clear Solution? (Paperback)

I don't take anything a medical doctor says at face value. After researching melasma extensively I came across this book and its the best hope out there for us with the disease. My dermatologist offered me no hope and and a very expensive prescription. I know however that there is always an alternative to chemicals and this is the solution for this particular problem. My melasma has been such an embarassment to me. It's not life threatening, but when I can't look people in the eye any more it's humiliating. This book is worth keeping and reading over and over so you don't get discouraged while you are on the MSM. The MSM does not work over night and in my opinion works better if you change your diet and try and balance your hormones while taking it. This book gives such great advice as each of us is different. Many women write about their experience while on the MSM. If you are like me you would do just about anything to get rid of this horrible problem, so nothing is lost by buying this book.
