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.

Rating:  - This woman claims to be a naturopath but she treats her own disease in a compartmentalized narrow way
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Quality Information
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.

Rating: - This book was a Godsend!
Rosacea had been making my life miserable for the past five years. My depression over the disease was literally ruining my life.

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 ... Read More
Rating:  - My first of this book disappeared...
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - One of the better introductory rosacea texts
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 ... Read More
