Just thought you should know how important Dr. Cordain
is with regard to the Rosacea Diet Users Support Group.

I have quoted Dr. Cordain extensively on my web site in
my article on, "Sugar and a High Carbohydrate Diet is a
Trigger Factor for Rosacea" at this url >

Dr. Cordain wrote me personally and states, "I believe that
like acne vulgaris, rosacea results from interactions between
genetic and environmental factors, and that diet plays a key
role in the etiology of this disease via its modulating influence
upon cytokine and hormonal homeostasis. In support of this
notion are recent studies showing that EGF receptor blockers
elicit non-comedo acne symptoms similar to rosacea. We now
have preliminary evidence to show that a substance found in
whole wheat, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) competitively binds
the EGFR in gut (thereby displacing the endogenous ligand) and
enters plasma via this pathway. Because WGA displaces the
endogenous ligand, it will upregulate the EGFR in a manner
similar to pharmaceutical EGFR blockers. We believe that diet
also elicits a number of other endocrine responses that are
intimately linked to the pathophysiology of rosacea."

Dr. Cordain wrote "The Paleo Diet." See this url >

I would hope that with Dr. Cordain's credentials as a
professor at Colorado State University that the RRDi could
engage in some novel research on what role diet does play in
the pathophysiology of rosacea. The RRDi has become a
dream come true.
