Finding the strength within?

So often we look for a quick fix or for someone else to do the work for us

Like a pill or a potion or some quick hypnotherapy and wham it is all gone!

And like you a little bit of magic would be wonderful wouldn't it?

But my experience is that becoming responsible for all aspects and areas of our life

will ultimatley pay dividends in that asking for healing becomes part of that responsibilty

This realization took me a long time to work out , because I thought if I kept doing the same thing a change would magically happen

Until I discovered that I had to make the change and in difficult areas of my life nothing different would happen

It is kind of like pulling the plug on some old habits and beliefs
and letting them wash away and so doing a breath of fresh air arrives

Oh boy have I struggled with a lot of that

But you don't have to as I have done the hard yakka the research and
I know that by following this method you will change not only the rosacea rash
but much else as well

( If you want !)

In health there is as much willingness and determination as anything to garner the strength for change

That strength is called courage; courage to move forward; courage to change;
courage to take a new direction

I am offering this ebook as a gift to anyone ( at a small price) who has rosacea
because it is my offereing and service to others

With respect

Rosacea and Stress

For many years the first thing I would do when I woke up was look in the mirror.

And I guess it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to guess what happened next.
First I saw the rosacea on my face, then I would spiral down to a state that was a mix of anxiety disappointment and anger. Upon those feelings I’d go to my large screen TV and play games or go to the kitchen and be rude to which ever member of my family just happened to be there.
Then just to reinforce my mood I’d check a few times during the day. Just in case a miracle had occurred. I remember when I stopped doing the mirror thing and much to my families delight stopped blaming them for my anxiety and my rosacea.
There is an old saying "If nothing changes, nothing changes" and along with that the one I like the best and it's the definition of insanity
"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result"

There is such a need in rosacea and in deed all disease to deal with stressors in your life.The cortisol levels rise from anxiety,depression and fear.The adrenal glands( above the kidneys) secrete cortisol naturally in small amounts as a hormone regulator. However when the flight or fright mechanism cuts in as a natural response to fear and cortisol is released,what you find with ongoing fear/stress/anxiety is the cortisol levels don't reduce and the possibility of resultant hormone imbalance and the immune system
not being able to carry out its vital function of natural defense will cause the body to have dis-ease.

So it is so very necessary to de-stress in order for the healing to occur.
I found this to be a very large part of my cure and my ability to keep the rash away.
There are many ways you to can do this de-stressing work for yourself and it does come down to the individual. But I will suggest just a few. The first is self responsibility and stop blaming someone else for your rash. get some counseling if necessary to deal with anger and frustration and the resultant emotions. Change your mind about how you feel and think. Exercise, very very healthy diet ( I have many suggestions in my book Rosacea Cure), taking time to contemplate or meditate and calm your mind. Get to know yourself, and learn to drop the thinking that is not servicing your cure but enhancing the stress.


There is a sense of freedom in my life now that I have stopped being so anxious about this disease.

The reason of course is that I decided at that point to take responsibility and change things for myself. I took a course of action, one I had researched over many years and began to make a lot of sense to me. I have followed this “path” in a fairly strict way
And as a consequence discovered much about how the body works.
In discovering that I am responsible for my rosacea and its cure and that I could not sit around waiting for a doctor or research scientist to come up with a pill or a potion, I was able to then take action.

So one of the first things I did was to work on my anxiety levels and stop doing some of the habitual things, like mirror watching and give myself a chance to heal.

I discovered it was whole body healing that takes rosacea away. And that of course included how I thought about myself and my life.
Removing what I call rosacea anger/anxiety, I began the process of self respect again and looked more closely at my relationships and my career.

This course of action was a daily piece of "work" for me and did not happen overnight, but the realisation that even when I still had the rash I was feeling better. I started to understanding the possibilies that were presenting themselves to me I then knew rosacea was no longer my prison guard.
The jail doors were wide open
I never deviated from my routines. Well occassionally, yes I have, and there are always consequences , so much so that it has proven beyond a doubt to me that following a strict program of de-stressing, diet, exercise, understanding myself
and using easy to obtain topical facial remedies works.
And like any good program it works if you work it!
Good luck and cheers to all

If you would like to know how I did this in detail my ebook “Cure Your Rosacea” http://www.cureyourrosacea.com

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.
