Welcome Renee,

Thanks for acknowledging my review of Powell's book. I learned a lot reading it
and recommend it highly.

Have you had a physician diagnose you with rosacea? Sounds like you have since
you say you have Ocular Rosacea in one eye.

Besides the low carb diet, what else do you use to treat your rosacea?

So far ok.
