Various treatments and methods

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

The following recommendations are from an Email which I sent to

someone recently. This person had inquired about the effectiveness of

cea LTD disks. I also mentioned several alternative treatments

and countermeasures which have helped me. Hopefully some of these

will be useful to others in the group.

Before you start using the cea LTD, I recommend that you find a

moisturizing oil if you are not already using one. The LTD guidebook

will also recommend applying a small amount of oil just before

applying the LTD. The oil then gradually sinks into the skin, taking

the LTD compounds with it. Jojoba oil is very benign, it is available

at GNC or a health food store. Emu oil is also good. Olive oil is OK

too. Use small amounts of oil, no more than a few drops. Run water

over your fingers and spread out the oil with wet fingers. Then wet

the LTD and apply very small amounts to the oiled skin. Remember, LTD

is concentrated. If you use too much it will do more harm than good,

especially when you first start using LTD.

There is no magic silver bullet for vascular flushing. LTD helps many

people. Photoderm helps many. BUT, remember that there is no single

solution at present. I had very good improvement from 10 photoderm

tx's, but I still view treatment as an ongoing process which requires

multiple strategies. I take large amounts of Ester C and grape seed

extract every day, as recommended by Dr Nase. I also take

bioflavonoids such as quercetin and rutin every day. The

bioflavonoids and GSE strengthen vessels, especially small facial

vessels. Vitamin C and bioflavonoids work synergistically to reduce

inflammation and strengthen cell walls, so they are less likely to

release histamine and prostoglandins which trigger and aggravate

flushing.

ZincO is a good product if you tolerate it. Each mornining I apply

oil, then LTD, then ZincO. The oil and ZincO provide a protective

barrier against the facial skin, making it more resilient. The ZincO

protects against sun exposure, and protects the face against heat

which causes flushing. The zinc and dimethicone generally reduce skin

inflammation, and the tinted ZincO masks the worst of facial redness.

The zinc/dimethicone combination was recommended by Dr. Nase, who

also endorsed cea LTD. The guys at LTD recommend drinking LOTS of

cold water, and this is good advice. This will definitely reduce

flushing, as I've found by personal experience.

Another thing which helps is aloe gel, if your skin tolerates it. The

aloe cools the skin quite well, and can reduce or eliminate hot

flushing. Aspirin also helps, and can be a lifesaver if taken along

with plenty of ice cold water. Together, aspirin and lots of ice

water can alleviate a bad flush in about 15 minutes.

Again, there is no single solution to this problem. In order to

control vascular flushing, you must build as large and varied an

arsenal as possible, because this condition demands it. The good news

is, if you hit it with enough components, you can just about

eliminate the flushing.

I am pasting the dosages recommended by Dr Nase for Ester C and GSE

down below. The Ester C dosage is extremely high. I would start at a

much lower dosage of Ester C, and slowly increase the dosage. For

GSE, I believe that Dr Nase specifically recommended Proanthodyn by

Source Naturals. The lowest prices I have seen on this and other

supplements are at vitaminshoppe.com. Their shipping charge is only

$5 per order, which is a bargain in terms of gas, mileage, and (most

important) time and hassle spent running up&down the aisles in a B&M.

(Body weight)

Under 150lbs - Try to work up to 1,000mg Ester C + 200mg grape seed

extract - 3x daily

Above 150lbs - Try to work up to 2,000mg Ester C + 200mg grape seed

extract - 3x daily

It sounds like a lot to take and is expensive, but is worth it!
