EDITORIAL REVIEWS | Product Description Rosacea, often mistaken for adult acne, is a skin condition marked by redness on the nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. While rosacea cannot be cured, it can be controlled. Rosacea helps readers identify what triggers the condition for them and details the latest in medical and alternative treatments. |
CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.5 based on 17 reviews)
| Wish I had this book earlier by Morganna Wolf (Portland, OR) 4 Stars March 01, 2009 I have lived with rosacea for over 10 years. In this time I have found out a lot of what works and does not work for me. This book first and foremost really encourages and affirms that when it comes to rosacea you need to be your own expert. What might trigger or help on person might do nothing for you or do just the opposite.
I loaned this book to a friend who had just been newly diagnosed. She found it to be a great help
So whether you have had rosacea for a long time or newly diagnosed this book has value. It is well worth the price and is by far less expensive than many of the creams, pills, or diets that claim to have an impact on rosacea. Buy this book first then decide which options you want to pursue next on your quest to manage your rosacea.
| | This woman claims to be a naturopath but she treats her own disease in a compartmentalized narrow way by waterlily 1 Stars January 07, 2007 I don't know what School of Natural Medicine Arlen Brownstein went to but she does not treat the body wholistically nor does she believe in the basic tenet of naturopathy which is that the body can heal itself through natural means. She is clearly neurotic about her skin and has not put her education to practical use in her own life. It's sad but if you think you're going to buy a book from a wholistic perspective you will be disappointed. The first thing she states is that hers is an incurable illness. This is hypocritical coming from someone using N.D. Naturopathic Doctor as her title. She should more appropriately call herself an amateur dermatologist without education or medical degree. The book is not holistic and it is not healing. I recommend the Rosacea Diet instead. This author is holistically oriented though he doesn't have an n.d. after his name. I used the paleolithic diet from one of the websites he mentioned and cured my rosacea. It is not an incurable illness. If you have that belief then that is what will be for you, as that is what is for her.
| | Quality Information by Jill B (Northeast Tennessee) 5 Stars March 02, 2004 I just received this book, and already I like it! It has a lot of information about rosacea, about treatment, and ways I can do something about it. Most of this is new information to me. Beginning with an exact description of my experience in being diagnosed (down to the two pamphlets and vagueness), I found a lot to think about and to be surprised and comforted by.
| | This book was a Godsend! 5 Stars October 10, 2003 Rosacea had been making my life miserable for the past five years. My depression over the disease was literally ruining my life. A fellow rosacean suggested this book to me after she found it so helpful. I have been following the suggestions in the book for a little over a month now. There is no doubt that my skin has begun to dramatically improve. I hope the author reads these reviews, because I want her to know how thankful I am to her. If you have rosacea, get this book. I can't recommend it highly enough.
| | My first of this book disappeared... by Maria Alexander (Los Angeles, CA) 2 Stars October 07, 2003 I reviewed this book and gave it a poor rating a few months ago, and now I find that the review has disappeared. Here is the problem with this book in a nutshell: WAY too much data that is also very poorly presented, especially if you are a new sufferer of this condition. Perhaps a long-time sufferer of rosacea could pick through this helter-skelter mosaic and find some grains of wisdom, but the newbie like me will probably be overwhelmed and fall into despair. Fairly disorganized in general, there is too much anecdotal information with far too many contradictions in the medical sections (particularly the parts about acid balance in the diet). You're just dropkicked into various technical sections without any handholding and then thrown to the wolves of information overload. When I was first diagnosed with rosacea, I needed some simple guidelines. I was depressed, felt like Mother Nature had screwed me over, and needed some positive steps to move forward immediately. Do yourself a favor and visit rosacea-dot-org or some other website that offers clearer, more direct guidelines on health, medicine, and other regimens so that your skin can start to look and feel better right away. That's what I did. It's free. After three months of treatment and some dietary adjustments, my face looks much better!
