Kurzbeschreibung
Rosacea, also called "adult acne" or "acne rosacea," is a facial skin condition marked by a recurring redness on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead. Left untreated, the redness becomes more permanent, and, in advanced cases, the nose may become bumpy, red, and swollen from excess tissue. In some cases, the eyes also may be affected, and the condition can result in vision loss. Rosacea cannot be cured, but its symptoms can be greatly reduced and its progression arrested through medical treatment and lifestyle modifications. This guide offers readers detailed information about what what factors contribute to a flare-up and how the condition can be treated. The authors provide a checklist to help readers identify their own individual triggers and go on to describe the latest medical and alternative treatments and explain the importance of nutrition's role in controlling the condition. A final chapter for readers whose self-confidence and self-esteem are suffering as a result of the disorder suggests strategies for bringing symptoms under control and dealing with social situations when flare-ups occur.

A Naturopathic Physician Looks at a Natural Pathology
14. April 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
Dr. Brownstein (ably assisted by her co-authors)writes from a unique and very helpful perspective. Trained as a naturopathic physician and well acquainted with conventional and alternative medical approaches to rosacea, Dr. Brownstein herself suffers from this chronic skin condition. Writing with great depth and clarity about her own struggle with rosacea, Dr. Brownstein offers an empathetic guide to fellow sufferers, sharing with them the many insights and even "tricks" she has learned about learning to live with a condition that has afflicted everyone from W.C. Fields to Bill Clinton. Using her own skin as a laboratory of one, the author offers hope and common sense advice about coping with both the cosmetic and psychological effects of rosacea. In the last analysis, the book is triumphantly encouraging, and should not be neglected by any of the estimated 14 million Americans (and many more worldwide) who have rosacea and are looking for ways to control it medically, nutritionally and even psychologically. This is an essential book for anyone seeking guidance in the management of rosacea.

One of the better introductory rosacea texts
23. März 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a gentle book. It makes very gentle claims about the broad applicability of what it has to say. The book could be summarised in one sentence. "We believe that eating right, taking appropriate supplements, and optimising your digestive system can improve your rosacea, not to mention your overall health."
The book starts off talking about the author's discovery and subsequent distress at having rosacea. She went first for the traditional dermatologist directed treatment path. For a naturopath this is an honest admission - that she firstly thought that she need to consult mainstream medicine to `get rid of it'. Becoming disappointed with the results she then turned to her background.
The introduction section follows the theme of the book - lots of gently stated facts about rosacea. The treatment section mentions the regulation treatments and then talks about naturopathy and homeopathy. The much loved ZincO even gets a mention.
I'm not a fan of trying to control one's rosacea by avoiding known triggers. This comes from a desire to be rid of the disease by not giving in and changing your life dramatically. Thus, the seemingly obligatory section on triggers and stress doesn't really help. Next, is a short section on makeup and lasers.
The remainder of the book deals with nutrition for your skin. As well as dealing with supplements, the book asks us to forget the `food pyramid' and embrace the `food wheel'. The section on Fats and Oils is particularly detailed. This is the highlight of the book for me, information about for eg. borage oil and flax seed oil. These are often talked about in the Rosacea Support Group, especially in regards to ocular rosacea.
The book finishes with some discussions about the psychology of your face, asking us to remember that we are not `just our face'. This is good advice especially for us that obsess about our appearance.
Approaching the disease from the nutritional side, this book is one of the better introductory rosacea texts.

If you have rosacea, get this book!
7. Februar 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
I am so grateful to Dr. Brownstein for writing this book. My whole life has changed (for the better!) because of it. She covers everything about this terrible condition from conventional medicine to alternative medicine to what has worked for individual people. And she gives a clear road map for fellow sufferers (yes, she has rosacea too!)to follow to come to grips with this condition psychologically and physically. It's loaded with suggestions and things to try; everything from sucking on ice chips while exercizing (this works for me!) to how to take an enjoyable bath, to natural anti-inflamatory supplements (my eyes have improved 200% from using these!). I can't promise that you'll totally get rid of your rosacea by reading this book, but it will surely get you as close as is possible. Thank you Dr. Brownstein! If your have rosacea, do yourself a favor and get this book!
