Editorial Review Book Description Customer Reviews (16)
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!
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. ... ...

Editorial Review Book Description Dr. Geoffrey Nase is a Rosacea Research Specialist and Rosacea Treatment Analyst.Dr. Nase'sbook contains 332 pages of the most current rosacea information. It also includes 28 color photos of rosacea sufferers before and after treatment. The medical information and treatments included in the book are applicable to rosacea sufferers all across the world. "Beating Rosacea" was written to benefit both rosacea sufferers and physicians: 1. "Beating Rosacea" simplifies rosacea. It details all rosacea symptoms and specifies what treatments are best suited for each symptom. 2. "Beating Rosacea" helps physicians understand the latest treatments for rosacea. This book includes cutting edge rosacea treatments that are used by experts in the field. The 'average' physican is unaware of these treatments. All treatments are backed by clinical studies with references. This helps rosacea sufferers get the best treatments; there are over 170 pages dedicated to rosacea treatments, oral medications, topical medications, laser treatments, and naturopathic approaches that patients can ear-mark for their physicians. 3. "Beating Rosacea" helps rosacea sufferers reduce rosacea triggers. It details all triggers for facial flushing and rosacea progression. More importantly, it explains the current theories on why these triggers occur and how to lessen the severity of most triggers. This helps improve the quality of life of many rosacea sufferers.

Editorial Review Book Description As a rosacea sufferer for many years I discovered in 1999 how to help control rosacea with diet.Over the years I have discovered what treatments rosacea sufferers have discussed works for them and noticed how frustrated rosacea can be.I founded the Rosacea Research & Development Institute in 2004 that is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization for rosaceans for finding the cure. | |

Unfortunately, for us rosacea patients who are trying to figure out the complexities of our disease, all know that our own bodily functions cannot simply be treated by a 30 day diet which includes what most dermatologists would have acknowledged as rosacea trigger foods. Secondly, the last half of the book are just emails between the author and those who applied the diet, so there is a lot of repetitive information.
The text contains a full listing of suggested foods to eat for 30 days. The remainder of the text of the diet is a curious collection of email exchanges from the diet's creator and people interested in trying it. Brady points out several times on his web site that his diet is hard to stick to. The foods that you are asked to give up won't kill you, but for sure it will take a significant amount of self control - especially for those used to a modern western diet. Brady is also clear in what he isn't saying. The diet is not claimed to be a cure. So given that it is difficult and not claimed to cure you, what does it have to offer you ? Many have commented on the diets author's desire to charge for the diet. One could say that people will only really value something that has some cost. This argument works for the rosacea-support group at large - many learned people have posted useful information to the group, but as it has come at no cost to list members, the value is missed. The alternate argument is that if you pay for something, you want it to work, and when you pay for it, your perceived rights suddenly expand. As the amount asked for is small I don't see this as a real issue. To take this point further, if you read the diet, and the pages of comments on the web site, it represents a couple of years of answering the same questions for the diet's author. Anyone who charges such a small fee, and sticks at it for a couple of years must really believe in what they are doing. I attempted to gain some feedback from anyone who has tried the diet. I collected 85 email addresses from the diet itself and the web site and asked them for any feedback. Given that the best possible result I could hope for would only amount to anecdotal evidence, I was interested in as much feedback as possible. Brady tells us that he has had more than 500 people try his diet. Although I have only tried 85 names, and over time email addresses spoil, it is at least a small sample from which to make some comments. From these 85 addresses I got 17 bounces, 1 said it made their skin awful, 6 never tried it in the end, 1 said it was too hard, 3 said it did nothing and 4 said that they had a good response and believe that the diet was what made the difference for them. Whilst the feedback was quite small the 4 good responses are an encouragement that for some the diet is worthwhile. "I'm very grateful to Brady. While I have never followed his exact menus, I have now been avoiding certain food groups, per his suggestions, for over a year. The difference in my skin is very noticeable. I still have to avoid sun and heat and irritating skin products, and I still take tetracycline - but I was doing all those things before Brady's diet and I still had large cystic bumps, swelling and pain. I have no doubt that following Brady's advice helped me." "I have been on the diet for a year now and I have found that not only does it control my skin problems but it is a healthy diet. Perhaps so many people have suffered from Rosacea because of the high carb, low fat diet most people consume. Perhaps, the rosacea sufferers body is finally exhibiting stress from all the sugar and highly refined foods most people eat on a regular basis, perhaps the liver is not doing it's job properly (cleaning the skin) because of a constant poor diet. The rosacea diet basically triggered my research into a whole new approach to eating..." "I have tried EVERYTHING I could find, have spent countless dollars and time trying to find something to help this condition. Brady's diet is the only thing that gives me results over time. I have found some things have worked for limited amounts of time, but this is the only thing over time." Brady has recently created an email group at Yahoo! Groups relating to his diet. Another positive comment can be found [online.] Given that I haven't actually tried the diet (it would require an committment I'm not willing to give), and going by the handful of comments that it works for some really searching - it could have something to offer. Will it work for you ? Well if you are really keen and willing to stick it out then you have nothing to lose...
Brady Barrow's rosacea diet has been around for a couple of years now. If you ever wanted to know what it was all about then hopefully this text will be of interest. So what do you actually get when you purchase a copy of the diet ? you get an outline of what foods are claimed to cause rosacea, and a suggested list of foods to eat. A couple of books are suggested as supporting information for the diet. Interestingly some dieting books, including an internationally well known diet is incompatible with the rosacea diet - being full of offending foods. The text contains a full listing of suggested foods to eat for 30 days. The remainder of the text of the diet is a curious collection of email exchanges from the diet's creator and people interested in trying it. Given that I haven't actually tried the diet (it would require an committment I'm not willing to give), and going by the handful of comments that it works for some really searching - it could have something to offer. Will it work for you ? Well if you are really keen and willing to stick it out then you have nothing to lose

Editorial Review Book Description Customer Reviews (2)
The NRS suggests trigger avoidance as a major contribution to reducing the severity of rosacea. This theory doesn't sit well with those who demand nothing less than the reversal of all symptoms. The thought of going down the path of finding which histamine producing foods cause me problems is somewhat unappealling. The book has chapters on the mechanics of rosacea, ocular symptoms, diagnoses, stages of progression, theories of causes, vascular system, rosacea management through triggers, nutrition, stress, treatments and a chapter on alternative medicine. It is good to see the broad spectrum of rosacea topics addressed. The section on nutrition deals with zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, flax seed, selenium, vitamins A,C and E, niacin and water. Those looking for details on photoderm, zinc oxide, antihistamines, jojoba oil and other new treatments talked about on rosacea-support, will need to hope and wait for a second edition of the book. Thus those who have been members of the Rosacea Support Group for more than a couple of months won't find the miracle cure that we hang around for. The book will prove useful to those starting out on their quest to beat Rosacea. It is ideal to give to someone recently diagnosed with rosacea. Something in print is easy to digest. New patients reading this book may find relief for mild rosacea and if that is the case then the book is well worth it. For more reviews, see http://rosacea.ii.net/reviews.html#handbook ...
