It sucks hearing this from you, Casey Miller9, but please just stay persistent. Stick with the balm—you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Let's hope whatever condition your kid is dealing with shares some common ground with psoriasis so the balm works the same way.
No one else can really know yet, because you're the first one willing to try using the balm on atopic dermatitis.
I'm praying the Lord rewards your courage if nothing else.

Just stay the course. Please.

Best,

urbanbadger53 said:Chris Morgan67, I honestly don't get you. If you don't like it, or if you just refuse to believe this balm actually works, then there's no need to attack the man. Nobody is forcing you to buy his product; he simply came here, shared what he offers, told his story, and that's it.
If you think he's lying, fine, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but attacking him personally is uncalled for.
It feels like you're just venting your own anger and frustration at him. If it's so difficult for you to accept or believe what he's saying, then perhaps it's best not to read his posts at all. For some time now, the conversation here has revolved around this balm; several people have even tried it and shared positive feedback, which is why I feel Michael Ramos3 doesn't deserve to be mocked and interrogated like this.
Either you believe him or you don't; there isn't much middle ground.
Best,

I’m entitled to my opinion just as much as you are.😉

And since this is a public forum, I have every right to comment on any statement made...😉

Well, good morning everyone!😁
I follow this thread regularly, and honestly, it doesn't look to me like Chris Morgan67 is attacking Michael Ramos3; he's just asking normal questions.
Personally, I'd also want to know exactly what ingredients are in something being recommended for my skin.
From what I've noticed, there aren't exactly any positive reviews for the balm yet, and no one has been fully Healed
just yet.

Michael Ramos3 said:I’m sticking to my guns: this is a permanent cure for psoriasis because I see the results with my own eyes almost every single day over the last few years. What am I supposed to do, just sit here and suffer in silence? Not a chance! My conscience won't let me stay quiet about this.

Look,
until you have actual proof—until that ointment is officially registered and has passed all the required clinical trials according to the law—you simply don't have a treatment, let alone the one true cure.
That's just the reality of the situation.
It would be absolutely amazing if your ointment could provide long-term relief for even one person suffering out there, but right now, it's all just talk. Don't be surprised when people push back if they don't 100% agree with you.

Michael Ramos3 said:On the Krstarica forum... I actually reached out to the moderator beforehand, and they warned me straight up that I'd be banned if I started publicly advertising herbs, teas, or ointments that aren't officially registered. So, I haven't even fully signed up yet.
................
Sorry, I actually joined the www.mycity.com forum on the same day, but the moderator deleted my account after just a few posts because apparently I was violating some information disclosure laws.

Man, you're really walking a fine line here before getting banned 😬
Personally, I feel like we’re all adults here, smart enough to decide which treatment path is right for ourselves.
Since I know a few people dealing with psoriasis, I can imagine how tough life gets with it. Honestly, I think sharing info doesn't hurt—who knows, maybe that specific ointment is exactly what someone needs to finally find relief.
At the end of the day, the choice is yours.

If you're just doing this to run an ad and make a quick buck, then God will judge you.
But before that happens, you should probably try giving more helpful, quality answers to those of us who are genuinely asking normal questions.

I’ve been following this debate from the sidelines, and honestly, I have to say I’m not digging it because it feels totally unproductive to me. 😬 Michael Ramos3 said he isn't going to reveal the exact ingredients of his balm (which, let's be real, he wouldn't have shared with potential buyers earlier when he was talking about registering it as a drug anyway), and hey, that’s his prerogative. Though, if I were in his shoes, I’d probably at least try to file a patent or something similar if that's even an option—feel free to set me straight if I'm tripping on the legal side of things. But look, you've got one group of people who want to dissect every single detail and demand every answer, and they aren't wrong. It’s perfectly normal to ask questions, just as it's perfectly normal for him to keep his formula private on a public forum. Maybe a middle ground would be for Michael Ramos3 to just DM some of the plant names to people privately? Or, look, nobody is stopping you from just buying the stuff and taking it to a lab for analysis yourself. That hasn't crossed my mind, but if someone wants to go that route, be my guest. I know there’s a healthy dose of skepticism here; I'm still sitting here wondering how much this is going to cost me and whether it'll actually work long-term once I've spent the money. I can't hand you hard evidence on a silver platter, but I can give you my word. To be completely blunt, I actually spoke with Michael Ramos3’s father, and the guy sounded incredibly sincere about wanting to help people, which is exactly why I decided to give this a shot. I mentioned before that I stumbled upon a few other "solutions" around the same time—way more expensive ones, actually—but I chose to try this first. If it turns out to be a bust, well, my goodness, at least I tried. So far, I can say it isn't hurting me; in fact, it’s helped me quite a bit, even if I haven't seen any massive shifts in the last two or three days, which is what I expected. Realistically, you should be applying something for at least two months, since that's how long it takes for skin on any part of your body to go through its full cycle and renew itself. Yet, everyone here is talking about 20 or 30 days... if I were him, I’d aim for the two-month mark (and he’d make more money doing it 🙂—hey, I'm an economist, a materialist at heart). Ultimately, it boils down to this: do you trust a person's word? It’s not even about believing in the balm itself, it’s about whether you believe in *him*. It doesn't matter if you haven't met him face-to-face; a few minutes of conversation can tell you enough to figure out if a guy is shady or not. Besides, Michael Ramos3 has posted enough to give us a pretty good idea of who he is and what he stands for. He believes this balm heals, and I want to believe him because he seems like a decent guy. Most people are probably going to call me naive or worse, but that’s my choice, just like every one of you has yours. I don't think we need to constantly hunt for more and more info on the formula; we should just watch the progress of the people actually using it. I’m skeptical about plenty of things too, and there’s definitely a level of doubt surrounding this balm, but sometimes you just have to make a decision and pull the trigger. Sometimes, having too much information is actually counterproductive. To wrap this up, anything that hasn't been medically tested and proven falls into a gray area for me, where it can be viewed as either good or bad. Like that old cliché goes... the answer lies in the eye of the beholder. 👍
Hey there, good people, I'm heading out for a little vacation to hit the coast... 🤣

I’ve posted photos on this forum before, but here we go again—my son’s elbows are acting up today. He was diagnosed with atopic dermatitis, though honestly, I'm still not totally sure if that's right... could be psoriasis for all I know. I’m asking if anyone can take another look at these shots. Specifically, @Chris Morgan67/">@@Chris Morgan67 and @Robert Clark2/">@@Robert Clark2, I’d really appreciate your take on this because, man, this skin stuff just keeps coming back in different ways.

So, here are the pics. Please, please tell me if this looks like psoriasis or what. Thanks in advance.

It could be, at least that's how it looks to me. I haven't had any scales since I started showering daily and applying the balm; the fact is my skin is smooth there now, though some redness still lingers where the patches used to be. One patch under my armpit is completely gone—it's just normal skin now, not even a different shade like when those spots fade. Honestly, the biggest headache right now is that my boss is going to call me back to work, and I’d rather just stay focused and get this sorted out in peace. The people at my doctor's office told me I can work, claiming it's all just in my head. But let me tell you, it really bothers me at the job when I start sweating and getting frustrated while running around doing tasks. If I actually manage to clear this up completely, I don't know what kind of party I'll have to throw to celebrate. 🙂
jadesailor14, don't be mean and don't start excluding people. Even if we get a bit carried away in other topics and a little sarcasm slips out through the keyboard, it's all part of the game.

Best,

In my view, this isn't about being aggressive; we all just want more information regarding this ointment. We've all experimented with all sorts of creams, pastes, and gels, and some of us have had incredibly harsh reactions, like intense itching or blisters. That's why we are being extremely cautious. I mean, when you buy medicine at a pharmacy, you get instructions and a full list of ingredients to look over.🙂

Hello there, my dear fellow sufferers and supporters of our little condition! I’ve been lurking on these forum pages for quite a while now, but a few days ago I finally got my high-speed internet set up, so I figured it was time to officially jump in and join the conversation. I’ve been dealing with psoriasis for about ten years, and I’ve actually been married for just a little less than that. Like most of you, I’ve ridden the rollercoaster of this disease—experiencing all its various stages, the ups, the downs, and testing out just about every therapy under the sun. I’ve picked up some truly interesting advice here, though I must admit, I’ve also witnessed a massive amount of pointless bickering. Regardless of whether I agree with their stances or not, I want to tip my hat to everyone who participates in these discussions; seeing your debates has actually helped me sharpen my own opinions and become more articulate. On a side note, I also want to acknowledge those here who are trying to peddle something, whether they intend to truly help someone or not. Many of them are genuinely convinced that the products they represent are the real deal, and to be fair, most of those ointments, pills, or herbal teas do work to some degree. That being said, I’d like to ask Chris Morgan67 and anyone else with a short fuse to please hang in there. Let’s wait to see if the results from Michael Ramos3’s father actually materialize. If nothing improves for any of us, then by all means, let's tear him apart with our words! It does strike me as a bit odd, though, that Michael Ramos3 hasn't shared any photo documentation, especially considering the sheer number of alleged success stories over what is claimed to be a seven-year period of helping others. It's funny, because I used to dismiss herbal remedies as nothing more than selling smoke, even though I ended up being quite satisfied with certain plant-based preparations myself. Anyway, that’s all from me for now; next time, I’ll dive deeper into my past experiences with different treatments. God! Or hip! whichever way you prefer to say it!

Honestly, the biggest headache right now is the scheduling—my boss is gonna want me back at work soon, but I just want to stay home and focus on getting this sorted out. The docs at the clinic told me I'm cleared to work and said it's mostly just a mental thing. But man, it really sucks when I'm at the job and I start sweating—it's frustrating as hell trying to get stuff done when you're feeling like that. If this clears up completely, I don't know... I'll probably have to throw some massive party just to blow off all this built-up steam. 🙂
Look, Poli, don't be such a buzzkill and stop kicking people out. Even if we go off the rails on other topics—and yeah, maybe a little bit of malice leaks through the keyboard here and there—it’s all just part of the game. It's rock and roll.

It’s not even really scales—it's more like the sunlight hitting it. Though, I guess the scaling is still part of how this dermatitis shows up.

Hi there.
Looking at the photos, I honestly can't tell if it's one or the other...
Has the little one had a biopsy done yet?

Chris Morgan67 said:hey, hi there.
I checked out those photos and honestly, I can't tell—it could go either way.
Did they do a biopsy on the little guy yet?

not yet—we gotta wait until it gets pretty red and starts peeling, then... you know. It starts out with these tiny little bumps, kind of like pimples, and if they start spreading, the whole area turns red for a few days before it clears up, only to come back again. Man, it’s hard to know what's actually going on sometimes.😕

Casey Miller9 said:Not yet, we need to wait until there is significant redness and scaling before... you see how it starts, with tiny little bumps that look like pimples, and if they take hold, the entire area turns red for a few days before receding, only to start all over again. It isn't easy being wise...😕

A biopsy should probably be used to confirm things, along with some kind of blood work—maybe an HLA test or something like that...

My psoriasis started out as guttate—just tiny little red spots—but after about a year, it transitioned into the vulgaris type...

That doesn't necessarily mean your son has psoriasis. It might be best to wait for the biopsy results, or if you can manage it, perhaps seek a consultation at a specialized hospital in Chicago...

"silentheron25," just relax and chill out, as people say. You're on the right track for now, so don't let anything distract you.
Maybe starting work is better anyway; it might give your mind a break from obsessing over the condition and watching for results.
Nothing is going to change just because you show up to work every morning. You'll just have to wake up much earlier to shower and make sure you're on time. That'll probably be your only real issue.
As for that massive celebration once you're cured (God willing), I honestly think you have a HUGE problem figuring out how to pull that off. You're gonna need to invite a ton of women and stock up on plenty of good wine. I definitely can't help you with that particular dilemma.
Ha Ha 🙂 🙂 🙂🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

It doesn't really matter. Either I’ll throw a massive party to remember, or I’ll just celebrate quietly on my own—whatever gives me that sense of accomplishment. I've actually started showering every single day, so I'm hoping the combination of that and some time out in the sun by the beach will help speed things up. 👍

Peace to all you good people, I'm heading out on vacation to hit the beach in Miami...🤣


Hip!
I just read that you managed to clear everything up with the ointment. Congrats!👍
So, what’s the deal with this Melem stuff and where can I actually get my hands on it? 😕 Honestly, I’ve been dealing with scalp psoriasis for about 15 years now... it just comes and goes in waves. Right now, I’m trying this herbal tea—just started yesterday—so we'll see if it actually does anything or if it's just a waste of time. But seriously, please tell me more about this Melem!

Hey there,

For me, it started with guttate—just these tiny little red bumps. Then, after about a year, it turned into psoriasis vulgaris.

But that doesn't mean your son definitely has it. Best bet is to wait for the biopsy results, or if you can manage it, just head over to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.

Yeah, true. I mean, I doubt a dermatologist would mess up that bad—this guy is one of the top specialists in Miami. But then again, that’s why biopsies exist, right? To avoid mistakes. Actually, looking at him tonight, it's already looking better... like it's receding again. If it keeps doing that, we might skip the biopsy entirely. I guess I'm not sure if that's how psoriasis works—like, does it flare up for a few days and then vanish for a week, only to pop back up again?😕
