Rosacea 101: Includes the Rosacea Diet [Paperback]

Brady Barrows (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 11, 2007

As a rosacea sufferer for many years I discovered in 1999 how to help control rosacea with diet. Over the years I have discovered what treatments rosacea sufferers have discussed works for them and noticed how frustrated rosacea can be. I founded the Rosacea Research & Development Institute in 2004 that is a 501 (c) (3) non–profit organization for rosaceans for finding the cure.

About the Author

I am updating my first book on rosacea to reflect the current understanding of this confusing disease. Since 1999, when I began writing about rosacea, there has continued to be a need to help rosaceans with some basic facts. In 2004 I founded the Rosacea Research & Development Institute and currently serve as the volunteer director. I currently live in Hawaii with my wife, working part-time, and volunteering many hours of my life as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. This book is a result of many long hours devoted to an understanding of what makes rosacea tick. The clock on rosacea is still ticking.

2.0 out of 5 stars if you don't use the internet to research, June 10, 2010

While i want to focus on the positive, because Barrows is a longtime rosacea sufferer who's probably read/knows more about the disease than most dermatologists at this point (many derms, even "the best" are not only apathetic but ultimately useless/clueless about rosacea beyond writing prescriptions)--one can find all the info free on the internet (and more compellingly written). The "book" is a long pamphlet, a cut and paste job, too long, poorly organized and not even thoughtfully paraphrased into something readable. But Barrows doesn't claim to be a writer.

His zero sugar theory is SPOT ON but the diet has some big holes and may discourage readers if they try and find their symptoms remain or deteriorate due to the dairy, nightshade vegetables and fake soy products.

The one part i like is where he lists otc products available in an easy format. also appreciate his genuine interest and motivation from personal suffering that moved him to share this info. Would i buy it? no (someone gave me). But I'm a research monster. For those who don't like the internet for research and can't plug in a few terms to google, however, it will be useful.

Like Barrows, I too suffer from rosacea and constantly search for new and upcoming research and products to relieve my redness. This book covers much of what I would search for over the Internet but saved me hours of searching and cross-referencing. In my opinion, this book is well worth reading. Great info in a condensed, easy to grab reference.

It may not appeal to all readers due to the fact that it does cover a lot of research on rosacea. Yet again in my opinion, it is well worth the price for the abundance of information that it contains.

Particularly helpful is the section that lists and describes some rosacea products available. If there was an annually updated booklet that listed current rosacea products with description and benefit I would subscribe to it. Hopefully Barrows continues to provide product info in the future.

Bottom line: I would recommend this book.

Good information. Don't like the price. Rosacea diet is helpful but hard to stay on low carb diet. I believe sugar is the culprit for Rosacea among many other underlying causes. Overall very good book with lots info and resources. I used sulfar ointment and eat little starches, lots of vegetables, and water. NO antibiotic. Rosacea is under control.
