My thoughts -- Dr. Sy's Oil

>Hello Dr. Sy,

>First of all, I want to thank you personally for all the

>helps us mentally and your advice helps us physically. I

> also wanted to state that I hope that we can both learn

>from one another -- I am always willing to listen and learn!

>

>Second, regarding your post about the cea Grant -- I

>certainly am interested. I have seen the grant proposition

> and it seems that it is still in the 'money gathering mode'

> to support researchers (Ph.D & M.D) in the Medical Schools

>and independents out in practice. I need to put all my

>

>I have been following your current study on the effects

>of your facial cleansers, moisturizers and sunscreens on

> the rosacea group. I think this was a great idea. I

>would like to comment on the efficacy of your moisturizing

> oil -- looks like most, if not all of the participants,

>I would like to discuss some theories as to why facial

>In my book, I will demonstrate that rosacea is primarily a

> blood vessels located in rosacea skin cannot handle

>normal increases in blood flow -- over time they have become

> structurally damaged (to varying degrees) and/or functionally

>

>To explain, you first need to understand the anatomy and

>function of normal facial skin:

>

>Briefly, the facial skin contains 3 layers: The epidermis,

> dermis and subcutaneous fat.

>

>1. Epidermis -- this is the outer protective layer of skin.

> The epidermis does not normally contain blood vessels.

>

>2. Dermis -- this is the middle layer of skin and is

> primarily for structure and support. This is where the

>facial blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles and sebaceous

>glands are located.

>

>3. The subcutaneous fat is the innermost layer of skin and

> is primarily responsible for insulation and shock absorbency.

>

>Sorry about the boring description.

>Now, if any part of the epidermis (outer layer) or dermis

>(layer with blood vessels) is abnormal or damaged, it can send

>signals to the blood vessels. Most times these skin signals

> (substances or nerve activity) cause blood vessels to get

>larger (dilate) resulting in more blood flow to the area of

>skin that sends out those signals. We don't want more blood

> flow!

>

>What are some skin signals that cause blood vessels to dilate:

>

>1. Physical damage to the epidermis or dermis

>

>2. Loss of moisture to the epidermis or dermis

>

>3. Chemical irritation to the epidermis or dermis

>

>

>Dr. Nase, would you please get to the point? OK, I will, but

> you don't need to get smart!

>

>Dr. Sy's facial oil contains two oils that are medically and

>scientifically proven to reverse and prevent physical damage,

> loss of moisture and chemical irritation. These two oils

>are Safflower (linoleic acid) and Jojoba oil. In my book,

>I have these two oils listed as two of my top four oils for

> rosacea skin (along with chamomile and emu). All forms of

> oil are not good for rosacea skin. In fact, in my

>experience, most other forms of oil such as lanolin,

>mineral and castor oil cause rosacea skin to turn bright red.

>

>Safflower and Jojoba oil (in small concentrations) should

>be added to every single person's treatment regimen.

>cea skin absolutely needs small concentrations of these

> oils to:

>

>1. Help reverse damage to the epidermis caused by harsh

>soaps, facial washes and rosacea topical medications.

>

>2. Help replace moisture lost from use of soaps, facial

>washes and topical medications.

>

>3. Help enhance skin healing (cell division and growth)

>within the middle layer of the epidermis.

>

>4. Help penetration of topical medicine through the

>epidermis

>

>5. Help normalize sebum excretion (related to acne)

>

>6. Help normalizes keratin sloughing off from the dermis

>(related to acne)

>

>7. Help normalize the production of inflammatory substances

> (prostaglandins) in the dermis of the skin.

>If anyone wants the medical references or results from

>oils, I will send them to you. I was going to add them
