My Rosacea Experience

My Rosacea Experience

 

 

It was in 1986 that I first experienced rosacea. I was eating a fairly

healthy diet, but I went back to eating a food item that I had stopped

eating years earlier because of my desire to be healthy. The food item

was chocolate. I did not know it at the time, but Ayurvedic medicine

considers chocolate to be a congesting food, particularly to the liver.

Also I was going through a lot of emotional stress then too.

 

Both of the cheeks on my face quickly developed a beet red skin rash

that would not go away. Also the rash had some swelling which would ooze

moisture from time to time. Chinese medicine classifies this as damp

heat. I experimented with numerous herbs and some accupunture with no

results. I also went to a dermatologist who tried to convince me

something from outside was irritating my skin. He gave me a topical

ointment that did nothing. No one needs to tell me about embarrassment,

or people looking and wondering what disease I might have, and if it is

contagious.

 

After ten months of having the rash which would fluctuate in degrees of

redness, something very unusual happened. I drank a cold carbonated

mineral water in the evening. When I layed down to go to sleep, I could

feel a rumbling energy in my liver area that rose up my chest to my face.

 

The next morning, my face looked like I had an alergic reaction to soap

or very bad posion oak. My face was very swollen and my eyes were nearly

swollen shut. I was shocked to say the least! About a week later, the

swelling was gone and to my amazement, no more red face rash at all. My

assumption is that the carbonated water somehow released the heat in my

liver, which lead to the rash disappearing. The rash never came back

until the spring of 2002.

 

I feel it came back due my consumption of homogonized pasteurized milk

and more emotional stress in my life. With the last rash experience, and

having studied both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, I knew my liver was

clogged again. Plus, I could actually feel tension in my liver area this

time.

 

In terms of Chinese medicine, each internal organ is associated with

particular emotions and a season of the year. They classify the liver

with anger and spring. The expanding energy of spring tends to activate

liver energy. They say anger damages the liver and disrupts the flow of

energy in the liver. They also say the energy of anger gets stuck in the

liver.

 

This time around, I knew I had to focus on decongesting my liver. Way

back in the early eighties before all this, I read in a booklet by herb

doctor John Christopher about a liver flush using olive oil. I remember

it was supposed to clear stones from the liver-gallbladder for the

purpose of optimizing health which I have always been interested in. I

tried it but nothing happened.

 

This time, I wanted to research the liver flush more completely. Also

this time I had a search engine to do research. Up popped The Amazing

Liver Cleanse by Andreas Moritz. I read the book and it made sense. I

did the cleanse and it had an immediate effect in reducing redness, but

not completely. I also noticed any foods which eastern medicine

classifies as heating would increase redness.

 

After a few months of doing more liver cleanses, the purgation cleanse

of ayurveda, and eating a diet according to my ayurvedic body type, my

symptoms were gone! Also, I did much research into the mechanics of why

this works. Ayurveda says all skin disorders are due to heat and toxins

in the blood. Chinese medicine essentially says the same thing. Chinese

medicine uses herbs, acupuncture, and what is called cupping to remove

toxic heat, however I feel the cleansing procedures I have outlined with

diet modification is more direct and thorough. In other words, a

complete cure. Also my success was not the only one. Other people that I

saw through books, websites, and email were doing cleanses, modifying

their diet, and getting cured of more than just skin disorders!

 

Will medical institutions fund case study analysis to verify the

treatment procedures I have outlined in which they will not make money?

Not likely. How long will it be before alternative medicine documents

this information? I don't know. It is initially going to take

individuals taking the time to put the principles into practice and

getting cured. Then by word of mouth, the information will get out. For

most things that are new, there are first adopters, those who wait and

see, and many who don't even see. I sympathize with those who are

seeking answers in the current climate of confusion and conflicting

views regarding rosacea and health. I hope my experience brings clarity

and is one of inspiration so you receive the cure that you are seeking.
