This is outside my paygrade and area of interest and understanding but I feel you are on to something important. When I had a skin issue on my lip the dermatologist had no idea but had strong opinions. I went to a natural health store where the opposite happened. The women said there is a connection between my gut and skin. She started with vitamins. That turned out to be wrong. She asked a ton of questions and realized that because the condition ebbs and flows Olive Leaf Extract might help. The details don't interest me, probably would you, but it's obvious who has the scientific mind here. The MD beliefs in a body of evidence he was taught (belief) and an underpaid store clerk used her mind (inquiry) to scientifically think through the patterns that were obvious to her as she has experience. The problem is people listen to the doctor who doesn't know beyond the belief he was taught and not the person with the scientific mind because she has no credentials. How do we change this in your field? This is a public health crisis. Does this make sense?

Thank you Dr. Yildiz for this comprehensive and informative article on managing purpura and purpura fulminans. Your detailed explanation of the symptoms, causes, and treatment options is incredibly valuable. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on early detection and the integration of both medical and lifestyle approaches to managing these conditions. This is a must-read for anyone looking to understand and deal with purpura more effectively. Keep up the excellent work!
