Re: Healing.

[Guest guest]

Herbler,

Thank you so much for sharing the methods you have used to heal yourself of

rosacea. I agree with you that the environment is a major contributor to the

condition. I look forward to hearing more of your successful healing methods.

treatment is covered. The thesis itself is over 10,000 words and alot of it is

not relevant to the nitty gritty.

rosacea

here...i have never seen so much rosacea...hmmmm they call us moss backs...maybe

its moss wanting to grow on our faces : )

eyebrows. 2.) pustules, visible spider veins, skin overgrowth with subcutaneous

fluid buildup/edema and red bumps on the neck, chin, nose and cheeks. 3)

burning

and heat of cheeks and chin. 4) painful lips. 5) red burning eyes with lid

swelling and frequent blisters on the lids, and an occasional sty.

>My thesis was built upon the belief that rosacea itself is a symptom of an

organism at less than optimum vitality. I still believe that. We drink tap

water

with chlorine and flouride, we bath and shower in it too. We take antibiotics

and

eat overcooked foods grown on over farmed soil and sprayed with pesticides and

herbicides. We drink milk with hormones and antibiotics and eat meat with

hormones and antibiotics. We are what we eat, digest and appropriately

assimilate. And that is where the beginning of healing begins...with the

digestive tract (stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small and large

intestines).

more.

We apply antiperspirant and make our bodies hold onto toxins and heat that

perspiring reduces.

>Of all my symptoms the eye symptoms distressed the most. I did not have

scleral

edema. This is what i did to relieve the eye symptoms. Initially each and

every

day, using an eye cup, i washed my eyes with an infusion i made. The infusion:

Take a six ounce glass and drop 7 drops each of glycerin tincture (not alcohol

tincture) of goldenseal and eyebright. Pour boiled water into glass and allow

to

cool to room temperature. When cooled pour into eye cup, bend head and bring

eye

cup up to eye and blink and roll the eye while in the solution. Dump the

solution

and pour some fresh into the eye cup and repeat. Next repeat this with the

second

eye. The lids will sting a bit but it feels so good because the ithching and

burning goes away. Pat the eyes dry...do not rub and scratch. The sclera is

frail and rubbing and scratching can injure the tissue. This must be done

everyday initially. Now i only do this maybe every two to three weeks. For the

blisters and sties...ouch! I purchased an aloe plant. When a blister or sty

began i broke off a piece of aloe and put the goey liquid on the eye lid

sporting

the intruder. The blister or sty was gone in two days using the aloe. If i had

had swelling of the sclera i would have gone to the doctor's office because the

eyes are just way too fragile and important...i feel fortunate that my eyes were

not more involved. Today my lashes are growing in nicely and surprisingly they

are still long and curly as before. I can talk about the eyebrows when i post

about topicals i use for the face and neck.

for tonight...the sand man just sprinkled me...nighty night...keep hoping and

believing and working towards healing.
