Default I just completed Dr. Syrokomskyy's 4 month treatment

I went out there with 2 other people from this forum. One that did the treatment already and another that is a few days away from completion.

We went out to Ukraine in mid October and I started around the end of October. I finished the treatment on February 19th. 4 months of tearing my face off and pouring harsh chemicals on it.

It was very difficult at times. There were times when the pain was pretty severe. I have tough skin, so I think I was able to tolerate the medication much better than others that have gone before me. Women seem to feel the most pain because of their delicate skin.

My face is now peeling off dead skin and I can see fresh, young, baby-like skin coming through. I've been told that there will be some ups and downs for awhile since my skin is so young. I just need to be patient.

The herbs are great and I continue to drink them. They make me feel really healthy.

It has been a wild ride for the past 4 months to say the least.

I honestly believe Dr. Syrokomskyy has a cure for rosacea and MANY other skin ailments. The pictures we saw while out there were nothing short of amazing. He really works wonders.

Everyone that I have spoken to that did the treatment is doing great and has forgotten about this disease. I will be joining them shortly!

Good luck to you all.

Cash,
Good for you. I would never have the b--lls to do it- even if my wife would let me borrow them for the duration of the trip.

You have been missed around here, but if you are cured and drift away, no one would blame you. Hopefully, you will stick around to answer questions.

Regardless, nice to see you back.

Rob

Amazing.....glad you came back to post! I also hope you stick around and let us know how your "new" skin is coming along.

Did you stay for the entire 4months? I wonder if one couldn't take pain med's to help while doing this treatment.....you are very very brave to do this.

I thought I was crazy too when I first decided on it. Now that I look back on it I really don't think it was a big deal at all. I met some great people all the way too. Everyone I tell about it thinks I am a lunatic for doing it though.

It is a big commitment.

I will answer some questions in this thread for people for awhile. If anyone has any real interest in doing it I will be more than willing to talk with them and answer any questions they have.

We were over there for about 5 days. I started the treatment here in the U.S.

No pain meds. You just have to suck it up.

This treatment will build some serious character. I can promise you that.

Hi Cash,

Thanks so much for posting. I've been reading about this for some time and have checked out the pics on adr. Syrokomskyy's website - pretty unbelievable. I don't remember seeing what type of rosacea you had.... though I'm sure you posted it. I have type I - primarily flushing and burning and some permanent redness. It seems as though many of the theories about mites go hand in hand with more type 2 rosasea and certainly the bulk of the pictures on the Dr.Syrokomskyy's website look like they have Type 2. What is your feeling about this treatment for Type 1 or is it considered for all types. Did the Dr. give you any insight into this? Will you need to go back to the Ukraine again?

Thanks so much for reporting on your experience.

Jen

My rosacea consisted of redness and flushing/blushing.

Dr. S. treats all forms of rosacea and other skin diseases.

There is a cure out there, you just have to go to Ukraine to get it.

I do not have to go to Ukraine for a checkup or anything, but probably will at some point to visit.

Yes, please keep us updated, especially in the long term (6 months, 1 year, etc.).

Like many people, I am extremely skeptical of this treatment, especially when it comes to older patients. Their skin does not regenerate nearly as well as younger skin does. However, I always keep an open mind, and would like to see independent testimonials. I want to see the treatment failures, which hopefully (for their sake) aren't permanently scarring.
