Guest guest Posted August 20, 1999 Report Share Posted August 20, 1999 Diane, Are cod liver oil pills the same as vitamin A? If so this could be why such good results. Many nutrition books recommend high doses of Vit A for a few months then to tapper down and this is supposed to help many skin disorders.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 1999 Report Share Posted August 20, 1999 <<Has anyone ever heard of a connection between birth control pills and rosacea? >> Birth Control Pills can cause chloasma, a brown, patchy discoloration on the face, but I have never read anything about BCPs and rosacea.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 1999 Report Share Posted August 22, 1999 << Did > you know > that women in Japan, as a rule, do not have hot flashes? >> Except for the women who live in or around Tokyo. These women have the same incidence of menopausal symptoms as women in the US because their diet is more like ours. Jane G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cod liver oil has the danger of giving you toxic amounts of a certain vitamin (Vitamin A, I believe). It is much safer to take plain " Fish Oil " .

Guest guest Posted August 24, 1999 Report Share Posted August 24, 1999 I think I started this discussion by mentioning to someone that we're supposed to balance EPO with a fish oil. Our trusty Prescription for Nutritional Healing recommends Carlson Labs Salmon Oil which I have taken with my EPO for six months. I don't know if it does anything for my face, but it has eliminated my joint pain.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 1999 Report Share Posted October 29, 1999 As far as cycles go my face is definetly worse and it seems for a longer period of time related to the normal monthly changes. Now that I am 50 a lot of things have been happening that are hard to deal with. I haven't even gotten hot flashes yet, maybe I won't. I too have been tested to see if my hormones are ok and they seem to be. My rosacea hadn't really flared up and progressively gotten worse until maybe last year. I am still casting around for a routine that works, seems I'll be pretty good and then all redbumpness breaks loose! I know people have said you have to be consistent with anything to see results and I haven't given any of the topicals much of a chance.
