Myself as well. Sarna did nothing for me. I have been doing daily smoothies for over a year now. My GD seemed to disappear a couple of months ago, but has recently returned. Very, very frustrating. What interests me, is how quickly some people respond to Cilantro. It took me a long time before it had any effect and now, despite drinking them for over a year, I'm itching again. They are now advertising the shingles shot on tv. Naturally there is no mention of the possibility of Grovers.

I just received my order of Sarna a few days ago and I too have found it to be a disappointment so far. It does help a little in some places, but the areas that are EXTREMELY itchy, where I need results from it the most, seem to easily shrug it off. Another substance that I saw others saying helped or stopped their itching was zinc oxide. That stuff did absolutely ZIP for me except make my skin feel oily and sticky. Yuk!
Also, thanks for the detailed info on your cilantro smoothies. When I mentioned being too lazy to go through all that trouble, I was partly serious and partly just employing self-deprecating humor. I decided to try the concentrated and organic drops first since as you say, the cilantro smoothies don't always work, and even if they do, some people have a relapse anyway. That would frustrate me to no end to have gone to all that fuss and bother to either achieve nothing or only a temporary fix. The cilantro drops are so easy, I decided to give them a shot just hoping I would get lucky. I haven't read but a handful of the pages on this forum yet, so I have only scraped the surface of what people have tried and found ineffective, but so far, I have seen that some found the cilantro capsules to be worthless, but I haven't yet seen anyone mentioning the concentrated drops of cilantro. Are you sure others have already tried that and failed?
Please understand that I am not questioning your honesty. I just want all the info I can gather and I want to be able to clearly interpret that info. Thanks so much for your input.
