Clear Thinking About Rosacea

Dr. Brownstein has performed an important public service for the millions of rosacea suffers with this timely, comprehensible self-help guide. Avoiding jargon or needless complexities about the skin condition, "Rosacea: Your Self-Help Guide" is full of practical --and natural--ideas on preventing rosacea outbreaks and improving the appearance of the skin of those afflicted with the "embarrassing disease." Dr. Brownstein's co-authors, Donna Shoemaker, Nutritionist, and Dr. Sean O'Laire, Psychologist contribute important chapters on the role of nutrition and on the "psychology of face," which offer,respectively, a practical guide to eating right and a sense of perspective about the cosmetic aspects of the condition. Dr. Brownstein tells us how to avoid "triggering" the condition (weather, alcohol, chocolate, etc.), but also about the latest medical breakthroughs that can treat and ameliorate the condition (laser treatment, photoderm, among others).But perhaps the most useful advice for those who have been forced to deal with this frustrating condition is Dr. Brownstein's account of her own struggle to overcome rosacea. This is the most encouraging news of all, and we're in her debt for sharing this valuable perspective.

All around help for Rosaeca suffers

I have just found out that I have Rosaeca. The doctor gave me pamphlets that contain very basic information. I was so pleased that I ordered this book. It contains information on everything a person with Rosaeca needs to know. It is like an owners manual for Rosaeca. It contains help with everything from psychological, diet, different methods to deal with this condition. This book gives me the peace of mind of knowing what I am dealing with and how to deal with it.

A Naturopathic Physician Looks at a Natural Pathology

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.

Hope for Rosaceans!

I have suffered for most of my life from rosacea. Told so many times that I simply would have to live with this dismaying condition, imagine my relief (joy really!) to find in one comprehensive, well-written, yet very accessible book all of the information I've ever sought. This is an extraordinarily helpful work, presented in everyday terms that any sufferer (whom the authors jocularly deem "The Rosaceans")can readily understand and immediately put to use. Everything from "trigger foods" to the effects of sun and wind, to the latest in medical and alternative treatment. Thank you for this wonderful book, Arlen Brownstein and Donna Shoemaker!"

If you have rosacea, get this book!

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!
