Unusual Treatments for Rosacea
#1 - Uniqueorn 23 - This has got to be the most unusual...
Hi all,
about 1 1/2 years ago I had a major emotional shock and developed rosacea afterwards. For about 1 year I tried everything I could get my hands on and spent thousands of dollars on cures, lotions, books, etc. and nothing worked.
My breakthrough came after meeting Donna Eden of Energy Medicine fame who told me to use the following techniques:
1. Opening the Ileocecal and Houston valve
- Place right hand on right hip bone with little finger at its
inside edge. Your hand is over the Ileocecal valve.
- place left hand on left hip bone with little finger at its inside
edge. Your hand is over the Houston valve.
-Exert pressure as you massage and slowly drag the fingers of each hand up six to seven inches with a deep inhalation.
- Shake the energy off your fingers with the outbreath and return to the original position. Repeat about four times.
- End by dragging your fingers downward one time with pressure. This is explained in detail on pages 265-267 of "Energy Medicine"
2. Massage the neurolymphatic points on your sternum
- Notice whether any spots between your ribs or at your shoulder
joint are sore.
- If you find tenderness at any point, do as deep a massage as
comfortable for 20 - 30 seconds before moving on to the next point
A diagram of those points is found on pages 85ff of "Energy Medicine"
After 4 weeks, my rosacea totally disappeared and whenever I feel hot flushes now, I just do the same techniques again and everything is fine.
Check out Donna Eden and her book "Energy Medicine"
(www.innersource.net) for more information.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Uniqueorn 23

Hi Brady,
Here is the link to the Yahoo Group, That allegedly cures/heals Seborrheic-dematitis and/or Seborrheic-dematitis w/ rosacea.

I have included this as an unusual treatment simply because (1) the posts at this yahoo group are not public. This yahoo group is substantial (1270 members on 4/5/07) so there may be something to this treatment for rosacea (it mentions rosacea on the group home page and a significant number of rosaceans have S-D with their rosacea which is sometimes misdiagnosed as rosacea (2) The group owner is a mystery. And the third (3) reason this is unusual is the name of the group: "seborrheic-dermatitis-support · APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WITH MOTHER" Now these three reasons make this treatment for rosacea unusual. - Webmaster

#3 - Dave Fleming's DMSO Fluconazole
This is unusual since there is so much controversy about this. Read all about it. The way he runs his yahoo group is unusual. I tried it and it does not cure rosacea. It does help reduce pustules and you can read my dairy on this. I am the first to admit that it is unusual for me to try DMSO Fluconazole but I thought, why not try? I did not get any apparent long term side effects from the skin peeling nor do my eyes seem damaged in any way. I have clearly explained what happened in my diary. Some rosaceans try IPL and get some bad results like burning and others have tried ETS (#5 below) knowing beforehand the side effects while everyone thinks nothing of the side effects of either IPL or ETS. The side effects of DMSO Fluconazole are minor in comparison and the prescription for it is legal and ethical just as it is for IPL or ETS. Nevertheless, DMSO Fluconazole is unusual for rosacea.

#4 - Gruber1 - This is unusual mainly because David Pascoe allowed the post and if you read how Gruber1 treats his rosacea at the bottom of the post it could be described as unusual. DP explains in this post why he allowed it on r-s.
Re: [rosacea] Here's how I got my rosacea under control
Gruber1,
You know there are dermatologists out there that do the unforgivable -
advocate dangerous treatments that they should know better about, and
can be devastating to peoples' rosacea. In asmuch as we should educate
dermatologists we also need to educate ourselves and behave
rationally.
To order every product you can find and then post a list here, and say
that these may be harmful, just for you info, well, thats got to be
comparable to an ignorant dermatologist.
You indicate you are familiar with Dr. Nase, well the kindest I can be
is to suggest that it takes some bravado to advocate DMSO here.
Suggesting than anyone uses any treatment that makes your skin peel,
well, I'll keep my anger under control by being extra polite.
Below I'll quote some snippets about DMSO and colloidal silver.
Please, everyone keep away from these chemicals. As a group we can do
far better, and must do far better, and rise above misinformation, but
even more, dangerous information.

Subject: [rosacea] Re: Rosacea Cured - IMPOSSIBLE
I need to voice my major concerns for DMSO application to the face.
First, this is not a treatment for rosacea and is very dangerous to
rosacea skin and eyes. Second, there is no such thing as a cure for
rosacea. The below post is nothing personal against your post -- it
is just a HUGE yield sign for all other rosacea sufferers.
1. January 2004 -- DMSO, or dimethyl sulfoxide, is a solvent
similar to turpentine promoted for thousands of ailments. In a
sterile form called Rimso-50, it is approved by FDA for treating a
rare bladder condition called interstitial cystitis. This is the
only approved human use. It is not approved for use on human skin
and should never be placed on the facial skin due to severe
irritation and ocular surface pathology.
2. April 2004 -- The FDA refuses to approve the use or prescription
of DMSO for anything other than interstitial cystitis in every US
state!

Matija,
I agree with Dr. Andrew Weil. The FDA has clamped down on sales of colloidal silver here in the U.S. for good reasons. Colloidal silver reminds me of another heavy metal ingredient which was used heavily long time ago and was finally prohibited by the FDA due to the side effects. This is mercury. I find a lot of parallels in these 2 ingredients. Mercury at one time, was a panacea for many ailments. It is an excellent anti-microbial (bacteria, fungi & others) and was used as antiseptic; it was an excellent bleaching agent and used for rx of brown spots in Asia; it was an anti-inflammatory agent (great for psoriasis & seborrheic dermatitis). It can be absorbed through skin and inhalation. It is slowly deposited in skin, gums, teeth, nails, nasal mucous membrane causing discoloration. Chronic long-term exposure to small quantities of mercury caused permanent side effects that are not detected until they occur. Mercury caused acrodynia, pain & pink discoloration of feet & hands, scarlet discoloration of cheeks (rosacea?), hair & nail loss, a metallic taste in the mouth, halitosis (fishy smelling breath). Most importantly, it was later found to cause permanent kidney damage. It also caused incapacitating neurological damage, as reported in Japan when a small village exposed to mercury in contaminated fishes they ingested for long period of time, developed severe brain & nerve damage in their children.

I believe the FDA (the watchdog), made a Formal Ruling to require a
NDA (New Drug Application) for silver because for decades, it is
known that topical use (as seen in rx of burn wounds), ingestion or
inhalation of silver dust ( as seen in industrial exposures in making
silverware etc) cause a dermatological condition called argyria. In
this condition, the patient manifests a slate-gray discoloration
of the skin, mucous membrane & nail beds. There is no known remedy for argyria.

I was supposed to take the anti-biotic for 30 days and then see my local doctor in Vegas. I took the anti-biotics for 9 days and did see an improvement.

seconds. The bumps should begin to turn a little whitish in color. If they do, stop. This means the acid in the vinegar has penetrated the infected area just through the surface. Usually within 1-2 days, that area will peel off. I then repeat the process over and over until the skin is flat and smoothe. This has been very successful for me.

Re: [rosacea] Here's how I got my rosacea under control
Thanks Aurelia,
I do prefer to be hands off and to prove that this board really isn't
about the moderators. We do reject a few posts every now and then,
mostly with swearing, spam, insults and the like. One has to work
extra hard to earn a banning, but every so often someone is rewarded
for their hard work (ok thats a joke, just hinting that the decision
is not taken lightly and you need to demonstrate your recalcitrance).
So back to your idea of not allowing dangerous posts. It would
actually be too difficult to police something like that. Everyone
would be subject to the arbitrary decision of a few. What I consider
dangerous and unworthy may have some truth deep down, or something
worthwhile on some level. (hidden in the post was mention of
fluconozole which might be helpful in some circumstances for eg. but
it was too full of other dangerous info). Also you can never know if
someone is just new and uninformed, or a long lurker and pathological.
I'd prefer to let open debate rage, and allow for intelligent and
factual rebuttals. Actually on that front Aurelia, you are a great
intelligent rebutteler (try finding that in a dictionary!), thanks for
being a great resources for the group in keeping up with the quack
watching.
regards,
davidp.

#5 - ETS - This is unusual since most rosaceans don't do this and only a handful have tried it. You really need to read all the warnings with ETS before considering it.
_______________________________________________________
#6 - Botox - Not exactly an orthodox treatment for rosacea and very expensive to say the least so it belongs in this list since rosaceans haven't reported much success with this. You should also read my Botox page.

#7 - Change your shoes - This post belongs in this category. If you follow the responses to the post you should appreciate even more why this treatment belongs on this page and enjoy the posts.
Hi again everyone,
Thanks for your replies. I do not mean to imply that you can "cure"
rosacea by simply changing footwear.
Most of us Americans have spent decades wearing shoes. It is
extremely unlikely that a few weeks, or even a few months, outside of
shoes could have any lasting effect. (and isn't that what we mean by
"cure"?)
I prefer to think in terms of "controlling" a condition that has
become chronic. Everyone seems to have unique triggers, and by
controlling the triggers, one can control the condition. The
condition never absolutely goes away.
Well, I am merely adding footwear to the list of possible triggers
for
rosacea. Examine any crowd of people; the majority of the time,
women
are wearing the higher-heeled shoes. Since women suffer from rosacea
more often than men, it seems reasonable to expect that the type of
shoe can be a trigger.
I apologize for reposting my original below, but I deleted my first
post because of a formatting problem. I am still interested in any
questions or discussion.
Thank you once again,
james
my original post:
Hi everyone,
Please understand that I am not a rosacea sufferer, but merely an
electrical engineer with a "crazy" theory about the cause of rosacea.
Rosacea afflicts women disproportionately more than men in the United
States, yet their footwear is clearly more deforming to the feet,
with
higher heels, pointier toes, and smaller sizes. Therefore, it seems
reasonable that shoes are involved in the chronic condition.
Of course, statistical correlations do not prove anything, and a
physical explanation is necessary. One possibility is that by
disabling the feet, shoes place more demand on the brain to balance
the body, an exceptionally difficult task if you consider how complex
of an organ the foot is. The brain must work harder, thus increasing
its own demand for blood, and hence the increased blood flow to the
head would become visible during times of additional stress or strain.
During the last few years I have studied the biomechanical effects of
shoes on other conditions, besides rosacea, because I believe that
shoes fit the statistical, historical, and physical evidence of most
modern diseases that continue to have an unknown cause. Most people
still think the idea stinks. Yet it seems to me that shoes on the
feet are like germs on the hands.
Chiropodist Dr. Simon J. Wikler pioneered efforts to understand the
influences of shoes in the 1950's, but his work was neglected during
the subsequent drug-and-diet-based approaches to medicine. However,
the prolific footwear historian and podiatrist Dr. William A. Rossi
clearly demonstrated throughout his publications that shoes influence
the posture of the human body. Therefore, coupled with the
posture-based approaches to medicine of the distinguished orthopedist
Dr. Joel E. Goldthwait, I have expanded Dr. Wikler's insightful work
to include a variety of illnesses and conditions whose cause remains
unknown.
You may find my thesis on shoes and disease at
http://www.shoebusters.com
on the Internet. My outlined treatment involves removing the cause;
regularly applying a contrast bath--or more descriptively, an
alternate cold-hot footbath--to maintain flexibility in the feet;
barefoot walking to maintain strength in the feet, resorting to
wide-toed, soft-soled moccasins if necessary; and getting plenty of
rest.
Depending on age, footwear habits, and daily demands, a 20-minute
daily walk, supplemented by a 20-minute contrast footbath every third
or fourth day (about twice a week), could actually be sufficient to
control or prevent many common conditions, but the regimen should be
used as the foundation for any other therapy, which may provide
further relief of symptoms if necessary.
Thank you very much for any questions, discussion, or feetback.

#8 - cranberry/blueberry 100% juice
I have rosacea and have been searching for help for the last year.
Went to the dermatologist, etc, no real difference. Recently I started
drinking a cranberry/blueberry 100% juice drink that the wife brought
home for the kids. My rosacea was about 90% gone in less than 2 days.
I am not sure that this will be the case forever but it has been gone
for over 10 days now. I drink two full glasses a day. The product is
made by "Northland" and is labeled "cranberry/blueberry" we buy it in
the local grocery store here in Raleigh, NC. It is found in the juice
aisle. I hope this helps someone else, I think it is really worth a
try since the cranberry/blueberry are supposed to be good for the
skin. It is definitely helping me....
Thanks - Gary

#9 - Urine Therapy - Maybe I should put this one at #1? What do you think?
Hi all,
Thought folks would get a kick out of this. Rosaceans are often
desperate. I know I am. Who's gonna try this one out?
Mark
http://www.earthtym.net/ref-UT-notes-1.htm
Rosacea- Penelope had Rosacea, a condition that swells the capillaries
in nose and facial skin making it appear very pink or red. When she
blushed, the condition remained for over 10 days. She was 35 years old
and had tried everything her doctor suggested and even changing her
diet for a macrobiotic one to no avail. When a friend of hers
suggested urine therapy, she thought it was bizarre. After reading
"Uropathy, the most powerful holistic therapy" she was convinced that
this approach could help her.
She started drinking half a cup of urine every morning and in two
weeks her condition was under control. When she blushed, the skin
would still become a little more pinkish than normal, but it went back
to its normal appearance 20 minutes later instead of lasting for days.
She called me to share her testimony with me and to offer hope to the
rest of the people who may be afflicted by this condition.

#10 - 2400 mg of salt per day - Helen - "My perfect cure cost practically nothing but just took some patience. After experimenting with various diets, I found that my rosacea was nothing but a deficiency of sodium chloride--table salt. It took several months on a diet containing at least 2400 mg of salt per day (the minimum daily requirement) to get rid of the worst of the flushing. It took quit some time longer to get red of all the bumps & redness entirely, and I have to stay on a diet containing an adequate amount of salt. " source is the 'What Works to Control Rosacea Database.' and find Helen's post. (I shut the what works database down due to an unsual number of spammers filling out the form) I put Helen's salt treatment in Appendix X17, page 281 of my Rosacea 101 book, but you just read it for free.

#11 - Chantix
__5 days ago I started using chantix, it is a new med for quitting
smoking. It is interesting to note that my seborric dermatitis is
virtually gone and my rosacea is somewhat clearing up. The only thing
I know about the med is that it blocks the nicotine receptors in the
brain and releases dopamine. Makes me wonder if there isn't some
validity to the stress trigger claim. In case anyone was wondering, it
works great! A few times I set out to go smoke (I have kids so I only
smoke outside) and got distracted and completely forgot to have a cig
for a few hours!! That's amazing for me! Thanks, Jen_____________________________________________________
#12 - Cornstarch
_I have been dealing with Rosacea for about a year now. This started
after going through treatment for Thyroid Cancer. My first thought
wsa it was side effect to the treatment.
I have researched everything from mites to medication.
The Antibotics the Derm prescribes bothers me because its constant
and I just had "pimple" like breakouts with no flushing until I
started using the Gel prescribed. I still wasnt not able to control
the breakouts after weeks of treatment.
AFter months of searching I happened upon a post from a women who
stated she had seen improvement with simply putting cornstarch on her
face before going to bed and after she washed her face at night she
just applied the cornstarch with a cotton ball. I of course thought
this was insane and way to simple for it to work. I decided to try it
because after everything else I had nothing else to lose and this was
more natural than the meds. I started to apply it at night and even
after the first treatment it started to get better. It has gradually
gotten better and improving every day! I still have a few bumps on my
face but compared to before this is a wonderful!
I also read an article where a general DR used scabies treatment on
his own face for a cure. This made more sense to me because of the
mite research. Mites are found to be more abuntdant on people with
Rosacea. So, why not treat the mites and Scabies is a mite! His
advice was to watch it around the eye area because it does sting the
eye, and he noted that the bottle states to only use from the neck
down. If the Doctor tried it and lived through it I am sure I will!
If the corn starch fails to work in the further I am heading for the
drug store (maybe with sunglasses and a scarf) to buy Scabie lotion!_______________________________________________________
