an introductory rosacea text,
By "pascoedjamazon" (Kensington Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rosacea Handbook: A Self-Help Guide (Paperback)
Those familiar with the publications and surveys of the National Rosacea Society will recognise some of the substance of the book. 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

Sometimes superficial treatment of a non-superficial disease,
By
This review is from: The Rosacea Handbook: A Self-Help Guide (Paperback)
This book covers rosacea *basics* to a good degree. There is information about diagnosis and the disease process itself is touched on, inbetween the usual nonsense about Demodex Mites. This book is not for someone who is interested in getting to the bottom of this disease however and really adds nothing new or fundamental to what is already common knowledge in most rosacea pamphlets or just plain old common-sense! There is a huge amount of information out there relevant to rosacea that can be unveiled from other fields of research such as neurology, vascular diseases, inflammatory diseases, laser surgery, etc. For the best current treatise of rosacea with cutting edge information and the best of the best current treatments, the book by Dr. Nase PhD, "Beating Rosacea" is far superior (and fully referenced!)

This book is ok but The Rosacea Diet is a lot more helpful and a wealth of information; I highly recommend it instead.
