Learning to LOVE yourself

Why rosacea and love?

Rosacea is not fun it does not have a lovable bone in its body.

It constantly drains energy and causes angst among it’s suffers and those around who see and feel the agony of those who have this rash on their face.

But that is exactly my point. So bear with me for a moment while I unfold this idea for you. Because you will find that your feelings and emotions have a great deal of relevance to this and in fact any other disease.

You may have heard or believe the idea of the “mind body connection”

Well it seems to be pretty accurate when it comes to my cure from rosacea because as I went through the process of changing some of my thinking about myself and saw that in many ways I had really bad thoughts about my self and therefore my behaviour seemed to reflect that with inappropriate diet and sometimes to much alcohol and a kind of malaise depression that would engulf me .

So change became inevitable. I

How do you overcome the feelings and emotions related to rosacea?

The ones where you feel downcast and or just a bit hopeless because the rash is not going away no matter what you do?

What I began to understand as I investigated my cure from rosacea was that I had to change my mind about a lot of things. Not the least being how I felt and thought about myself and how I treated myself. Even when the rash was there as I awoke to a new day with the same rash.

I had to change my mind!

It wasn’t that I thought a few nice things and whammo rosacea gone or anything as simplistic as that. What I read about the mind body connection and healing (especially from people who had cancer) was that you had to start loving yourself and treating your body with the same respect… ( rosacea or no rosacea).

I know it wasn’t and still isn’t the easiest thing to do, but the payoff has been fantastic as it is part of the whole package of my cure. One of learning; making mistakes and then learning some more, because I knew that to cure rosacea there isn’t a quick fix, I knew I couldn’t take a pill or rub on some cream and it would go but I knew I could do it if I put all the aspects of my research into action together. And self love is part of that. Depression at whatever level be it stress related or a long term deep feeling is a suppressant for the immune system and if you read my book you will see the whole cycle explained. http://www.cureyourrosacea.com

The best was a positive attitude 24/7. Not just occasionally or every now and then, but all the time even when I had a flare up.

So that my attitudinal healing became a habit; a good habit, one where I became happy to carry out the tasks I’d set myself for my cure and not give into feelings of despair. I made a choice.

In short I learned to calm my emotions and love myself.

There is so much that has been researched and written about the mind/body connection and the power of a good attitude to heal, both in the mainstream hospitals and in the natural healing clinics.

One of my main sources of information and guidance has been the Mayo Clinic in America which you can easily look up on the net yourself.

Does all this take practise?

Of course it does!

Daily every day until it becomes a new habit

I have heard it said that we have to repeat a new habit every day for a month for a change to come into play

You will at some stage find a new life and at some stage even be grateful for the experience of rosacea, if like me it bought you to a new understanding of yourself.

But we won’t jump that far ahead. Just know that you can heal and there is a way out.

Cheers and all the best with your cure

Rosacea and the Immune System

Inside our bodies there is an amazing protective environment called the immune system. It works to defend against bacteria, microbes, viruses, toxins, and parasites that would love to invade our bodies. To understand the power of the immune system, all that you have to do is observe what happens when anything dies. It may sound a bit “off” but when something dies, its immune system shuts down of course along with everything else. It takes no time at all for invading bacteria and organisms to dismantle the whole body and leave only the skeleton. So your immune system is doing an amazing job to keep all that from happening when you are alive, because this is the immune systems job. It is complex, interesting and intricate. It works around the clock in thousands of different ways, but it does its work largely unnoticed. Until of course like a lot of things we don’t really notice until it fails.

Some examples of the immune system working might be; Cuts, abrasions’ or foreign bodies will stimulate the immune system to eliminate the invaders while the skin heals. Occasionally inflammation or pus occurs; this is a side effect of the immune system doing its work and usually nothing to be concerned about short term. An itchy bump from a mosquito is a sign of the immune system at work. And the common cold and flu is when the immune system missed an invader, however recovering from colds and flu shows the immune system does a good once again a good job. The job of the immune system is to protect your body from infections; it creates a barrier

that prevents viruses and bacteria from entering the body.

If bacteria or viruses do enter the body the immune system tires to detect and eliminate before it can make itself at home and reproduce. Even when the virus or bacteria do reproduce it is the immune system job to eliminate it.

The major components of the immune system are the thymus, spleen, lymph system, bone marrow, white blood cells, antibodies, hormones, complements to the antibodies and hormones

And this is amazing the human body tags all cells that are marked with what is called MHC, this tells the immune system what is “you”. Everything else is fair game for the immune system to eliminate.

So you can see why this system must be kept in optimal working order. However what does happen with poor diet, too much stress,

no proper exercise, sickness or having antibiotics over a long period of time, the immune system becomes “suppressed” or it doesn’t have the same ability to serve your body.

This is when other disease can find a foothold in your body.

This is the case with rosacea for instance and it is necessary of course to help get your immune system in full working order again

Enzymes! Wow

Enzymes….The Organic Eater

Enzymes play a vital role in our existence. Although they themselves are not considered to be living organisms, they are found in all living beings on Earth. Enzymes are catalysts for biochemical reactions in living things. Not discovered until 1835, these microscopic entities consume organic matter by breaking down complex organics to their original chemical building blocks.

Life is based on the transfer of energy so without enzymes we would cease to exist. Giving us the ability to breakdown food, enzymes are a major part of our digestive process. Enzymes can be used to breakdown chemicals such as fats, oils, detergents, and wastes. We also owe these tiny catalysts thanks as they play a major role in the cleanup of our environment. Oil spills that have the potential of devastating life in our oceans and surrounding shores are managed and cleaned up by large quantities of specific enzymes.

Groundhog Day

"Groundhog Day" is a film with Bill Murray as a grumpy disillusioned rperter who gets stuck in the same day over and over again...until he begins to see that he can change the outcomes of his day by changing his actions. And gradually he lightens up and sees his life from a new perspective. That of a more caring person who listens rather than bruskly and arrogantly walks thru life, thinking the world owes him something......
It is a classic movie and often quoted by those changing habits. Because it feels like grounfhog day...over and over until whamo something changes!

And all the good work comes to fruitition

Curing my rosacea has been like that for me
And in some sense will continue like that as I find those changes that were specifically for rosacea have impacted on all areas of my life

Keep up the good work

Cheers Sam

I knew I had to do whatever it would take!

I want to let you know my book “Cure Your Rosacea” will give you the “tools” and the “know how” in your search for being rid of the rosacea on your face. By you understanding the disease, which I have explained in detail, you will get a very clear picture of what you will need to do and how to do it. Rosacea is pernicious and by that I mean, it is not directly life threatening, but it does threaten to undermine your life. It gets into the nooks and crannies of your psychic, and jumps up to reveal itself as embarrassing at least and almost suicidal at worst. My book is a “Blueprint” for a gradual cure or at the very least ridding yourself of the facial redness. I am not promising you a pill to “cure all” or 2 ingredients to banish the rash. That is false hope. What I am offering you is a way to change many aspects of your life and health. That will I guarantee fade your problems. Does it take effort? Of course it does! Because unless you want to keep looking for the illusive pill or lotion, that does not exist. The medical profession at this stage don’t have a good grasp on rosacea. It isn’t up there with cancer as a disease attracting research dollars. So are you prepared to take the plunge and create a clear skin and maybe a new outlook on your life. No this is not a quick fix! How long will it take? That is up to you! What kind of extra effort are you prepared to put into YOURSELF! You know I was angry once too! I blamed doctors, my family, the world, you name it they had a part in my rosacea unhappiness. Then one day I woke up! And said “I will do whatever it takes to be rid of the rosacea” It was then everything fell into place for me. My book details all the steps I meticulously took and follow to this day, understanding that I have a propensity to rosacea. I am like any person with a disease who has found a way to live without it. I FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES I discovered bitching and blaming and being angry, did nothing. In fact it made the disease worse. Then I took the “DEMON” (rosacea) by the horns and did everything and did everything I knew would work if I stuck at it, and worked my program. My desperation became my salvation! You don’t have to get to the desperate stage to read this book and put it into practise. Believe me! Anytime is a good time to start. It’s your choice; keep chasing the illusive rainbow of pills and potions or wake and take control of your life. I look forward to hearing your story of change.
