Review for Network for Good Inc, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

First and worst experience our organization has ever had. NO check to date from a Facebook fundraiser we had in October 2019. I believe this is a money scheme. Our organization houses family violence victims in emergency safe shelter.

Review for International Topical Steroid Awareness Network (ITSAN), Dacula, GA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

No words can really express how much ITSAN has helped our family. 18 years of hospitalizations, from All Children's, St. Pete FL , Scottish Rite at Children's Health Care of Atlanta and countless pediatric medical professionals throughout the Southeast. My husband and two children have been prescribed Topical Steroids since infancy. We were told since these products are FDA approved they were safe for everyday use. Not one physician or medical professional ever warn us of the dangers of topical steroids, nor did they ever mention the topical steroids were causing these chronic skin illnesses. In fact it was every medical professionals' preferred method of treatment. Little did we know these prescribed topical steroids were the sole contributor to the chronic and painful skin health of my beloved family. The quote below found on the ISTAN website began our healing journey.
"Addiction to (Topical) Steroids is a serious problem which reaches tragic proportions in some cases. It is more common than realized, sly and seductive and will be prevented only when the physician becomes as impressed with the capacity of the steroids to do harm as they are with their power to suppress, not cure, virtually any inflammatory disorder." -Dr. Albert M. Kligman and Dr. Peter J. Frosch, from their article called "Steroid Addiction", published in International Society of Topical Dermatology Journal, 1979
Thanks to ITSAN we found our current doctor, videos and a community of support! As of this review our family is on Day 21 of withdrawal by simply NOT using prescribed Topical Steroids. Currently they have NO infections, no sore, no lesions and the skin is beginning to heal for the first time ever. ITSAN has given us hope for our FUTURE. Thank you ITSAN for your faithfulness and perseverance. Thank you for facing the giants! Sincerely, The Fuller Family, Atlanta Georgia
