RRDi Corporate Members Private Forum
The RRDi private forum is available now and all one has to do to access this forum is provide their identity, mailing address, and an email address to become a RRDi corporate member and agree to the rules and all the legal stuff and it is available for free. The RRDi has a strict privacy policy and your privacy is safeguarded. There is no charge or donation required to be a RRDi corporate member. The RRDi has provided a safe forum for professionals and in order to do this there are some tight restrictions which protect these professionals and a little army of volunteer moderators to prevent any abuse of the rules. The RRDi is completely made up of volunteers and volunteering is the spirit behind the RRDi.
The RRDi private forum has health care professionals answering corporate members questions on rosacea research and hopefully will also answer personal rosacea questions. These professionals have agreed to spend 15 minutes a month answering rosaceans' questions and advising the board of directors of the RRDi on what research to sponsor (if we ever get any funding) if they have the time. These professionals are all volunteers, just like everyone else associated with the RRDi.
The professionals include a wide variety of physicians and Ph.D.s. Some of the physicians also hold a Ph.D. in addition to a degree as an M.D. Several of the physicians are professors of dermatology at prestigious universities. There are opthalmologists, a psychologist, clinical researchers, a health and fitness expert, and a micro biologist. The RRDi will continue to attract more professionals to the MAC so that questions about rosacea research can be asked to those who have the time to volunteer answers. The more professionals who volunteer, the better the odds the RRDi can get answers to questions. The list of members and all their credentials, photos and background can be found here:

Some of the subjects currently being discussed in the ASK THE MAC private forum for corporate members are rosacea and diet, rosacea and chlamydia pneumoniae, light emitting diaode therapy,vaso-restriction drugs, anti-flushing drugs, anti-inflammatories,and laser/IPL. This list will no doubt grow. MAC members havevolunteered from their busy schedules to respond to corporatemembers questions. If a MAC member is busy and can''t volunteer for a month, the RRDi understands and can wait until the MAC professional has the volunteer time. You must remember that this private forum is not for asking personal treatment advice since the MAC members have agreed to volunteer their time to answer specific rosacea research questions, so please do not waste the precious time of the MAC members asking your personal rosacea questions.
The RRDi will continue to have the goal of increasing the number of MAC professionals who are willing to help rosaceans find a cure for rosacea. How do you bring together the greatest minds on rosacea into one think tank?
You may try to find a better ''super forum'' out there but anyone trying to out do the RRDi private forum will have a hard act to follow. If you check out our forum you will find forums and subforums on just about every rosacea topic. If there is a topic you would like listed, let us know about it. And since the RRDi is an approved 501 (c) (3) non profit organization, what more do you want? If the RRDi doesn't have it, then join us and change the direction of this volunteer organization and work for what you want done.
