Book Reviews of Rosacea: Your Self-Help Guide
Book Review: A Naturopathic Physician Looks at a Natural Pathology
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: If you have rosacea, get this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Book Review: Hope for Rosaceans!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!"Book Review: Info on psychological stress of rosacea
Summary: 5 Stars
What I really like about this book is that someone finally deals in practical terms with the psychological impact of a chronic disease sitting right there on your face with all the world to see. The authors really make you think about what you can do to put rosacea in proper perspective so it no longer controls your life. I needed someone to point it out to me and I needed ideas on how to do it. That, along with countless suggestions on how to deal with the physical symptoms of rosacea, make me enthusiastically recommend this book.Book Review: This book was a Godsend!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
