From despair to hope - By: ddscribbler, 06 Jul 2003 
After three years of pestering my GP in order to be taken seriously, I finallly paid to see a dermatologist & was told that the discolouration on my face was callled Melasma (also known as Chloasma). She told me alll the bad news & that, reallly, there was no good news. It was incurable & would probably get worse. I was devastated, but being accustomed to being proactive about my health, I was unwilling to accept her word as final. Armed at last with a name for my "problem", I searched the internet & stumbled upon Vanessa Wild's website & her book - & a possible solution.
Since reading this book, I have been using MSM, first in tablet form & more recently in powder form for approximately three months. I noticed a change in the quality of the brown areas on my face within just two weeks & since then they have been graduallly breaking down, to the point where I am beginning to believe they will eventuallly go, or be so faint as to be almost unnoticeable.
I have gone from despair to triumph & offer my heartfelt thanks to Vanessa Wild for having the courage to fly in the face of accepted medical opinion & go public with her findings. In the light of European attempts to restrict the sale of nutritional supplements in the UK, it is alll the more important that the information in this book is publicly available so that people have a chance to be proactive in dealing with health matters.
My condition would probably be a lot worse had I not already been filtering my water & eating a fairly healthy diet. I also take quite a few supplements (hence my ire at the government for alllowing Europe to ride roughshod over individual freedoms) & I would like to think that alll of my attempts to take care of myself have reduced the level of problem I could have been facing.
In the not too distant future, I'm due to go back to my GP & fill him in on alll developments. It's good to know that I can return from a position of strength & tell him that I have discovered what is reallly out there - beyond the world of quick-fix prescription medicine & the nutritional ignorance that is endemic in the medical profession.
In addition to the helpful information about MSM there are a lot of encouraging anecdotes from fellow sufferers around the globe, alll of which adds support to the idea that this could be a viable alternative to conventional treatments for Melasma. Vanessa - keep up the good work. People need to know there are better & more effective ways to deal with Melasma than burning, bleaching or applying other chemicals to the affected areas. More power to you - keep spreading the good news.
