About the Author

Brady Barrows (b.1950 in Boulder, Colorado) was raised in Texas by his grandparents until age sixteen when he moved to California to live with his father and step-mother, who are also writers. He graduated from University High School, Los Angeles, California in 1968 and attended Santa Monica College in Santa Monica, California. In 1971 he moved to New Mexico and lived in the Jemez Mountains and became a hippie. There he met his wife Betty. A son, Jeremy, came along in 1973. By this time, the family became Jehovah's Witnesses. Brady was diagnosed with Rosacea in his thirties in New Mexico. In 1994, he joined his wife as a full-time minister of Jehovah's Witnesses and volunteered to do construction work for the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Patterson Educational Center, in Patterson, New York for six months. They decided to stay on the East Coast, moving to Great Barrington, Massachusetts where they both currently reside. Rosacea Diet is the author's first book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Difficult, but it works!, July 14 2009

This review is from: Rosacea Diet: A Simple Method to Control Rosacea (Paperback)

I was sceptical when I initially purchased the book and doubted about the benefits of the diet. After reading the list of "Sugars to avoid", I thought that there was no way for me to follow the diet. I didn't follow the diet day by day, gram by gram, but I followed the main principles. It is a hard diet to follow, but the results are great. After one month, I noticed a main difference and felt more confident without make-up. This is better than all the laser treatments I paid for. The only thing I regret is not discovering this book sooner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rosacea Diet - Worth every penny, Dec 9 2003

It frustrates me to see several reviews from people who read Rosacea Diet and dismissed it without even trying it. How can you review something you "didn't have the willpower" to try or something you just didn't want to do (i.e. Give up sugar)? Comparisons to the Atkins diet are bound to occur, despite the fact that Rosacea Diet is very different in that it allows NO sugar and FAR fewer carbs than the Atkins plan. I'm trying Rosacea Diet now and have seen drastic improvement in just 5 days. When you get past the first few days of adjustment and get over the fact that you can't eat sugar or grains, it's not that hard. I don't have any desire to eat sugar and I previously consumed large quantities of it. You focus on what you can eat and you eat only those foods. There's nothing hard about it...it has actually greatly simplified my life to have the enormous number of food choices taken away. This book has opened my eyes to the fact that sugar lurks in much of the food we normally consume, even products that claim to be "sugar free." I HIGHLY recommend purchasing Rosacea Diet. The book is giving me the power to conquer rosacea without spending thousands on doctor visits and prescription treatments that don't work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rosacea Diet disappointment, July 7 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Rosacea Diet: A Simple Method to Control Rosacea (Paperback)

I bought this book with the best of intentions: to read it in its entirety and apply its suggestions of a 30 day Atkins-like diet. Disappointed, I found that the author not only had no obvious accredited medical background of any type but also realized that he had written this book solely based on his personal experience with his rosacea. This certainly didn't apply to me and the explanations of having a protein diet and eliminating sugar wasn't equally as comforting either.

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 book would've been shorter if it just referred you to read the Atkin's book after you read the preface of the Rosacea Diet. And if your rosacea didn't clear up at least you would've lost some weight. Truly disappointed at the lack of knowledge and information that was not apparent in the book. I gave this book one star just so I could get this comment posted. Otherwise I don't think it deserves a star. There are better books out there that will highly recommend ways to self-analyze reactions, provide worthy explanations and nutritional diet based on your own personal profile with rosacea.
