Rosacea and Seb derm

I also suffer from rosacea (brought on by eating liver and cod liver oil), thank goodness I found Grant's blog. I have been on a zero vitamin A diet since April 2018, so I'm coming up in one year. My skin has vastly improved over this time but is not back to normal yet. I also have many food intolerances and use epsom salts as a source of both magnesium and sulfur to help clear food chemicals from the body. I fill a pint jar half full with epsom salts and then add water to make a concentrated solution. I just dip my fingers in the jar and wipe on my tummy and back twice a day. The last few days I have tried putting a tiny bit on my face before moisturizing and it seems like my skin is improving and becoming softer and less red, with less bumps. It could be a coincidence, but I've never seen this much improvement in just a few days.

Great that you have improvements in your skin! What supplements did you take this last year?

Thanks for sharing, what are your daily zero VA food staples for the last year? Seems some see quick improvements and some will take the 1 to 2 years to get VA levels down significantly.

I haven't been taking any supplements other than the epsom salts topically. But I do mix about 1/2 tsp of activated charcoal in water and drink each day before breakfast. I don't really know if it has helped, but I figured it can't hurt. I also drink 1.5 L of mineral water each day for calcium (Gerolsteiner seems to have the highest mineral content).
I have a food intolerance to salicylates and I also have issues with all grains and beans, so my diet is quite restricted. My staple foods are beef, celery root, peeled pears, high oleic sunflower oil, 85% dark chocolate and homemade shredded celery root sauerkraut. I also make tea from cocoa nibs because I can't have coffee. When I started the zero A diet I also had a histamine intolerance, but it has improved dramatically. I also I have recently added raw rutabaga sticks (3.4 IU vit A per cup) before breakfast for more vitamin C. In the past I have tried adding rutabagas to meals, cooked, and along side fats, but had problems with rosacea flare up. I also try white rice periodically, but so far I haven't been able to keep it on the menu.

Thanks for sharing, I hope the healing continues and you can experiment with more foods.
How do you make the celery root sauerkraut, same steps as traditional cabbage?

For the sauerkraut I use 1.5 L glass jars with a glass lid and red rubber gasket that latches closed. I shred (or finely chop) the peeled celery root and pack tightly into jars. Then I cover with a basic salt brine (2.5 Tablespoons salt in 4 cups water, dissolved). I usually place a thick slice of celery root on top so that I can use it to push the shredded root down as it is fermenting. I burp the jars and push down twice a day. Depending in the temperature, it takes a few days to a week or even 2 to become nicely sour and pickled.

Excellent, might have to try this, love the taste of celery root.

The main species of yeast found on the scalp of those with the condition is Malassezia globosa, others being Malassezia furfur (formerly known as Pityrosporum ovale) and Malassezia restricta. It has been suggested that the yeast produces toxic substances that irritate and inflame the skin. However, the colonization rate of affected skin may be lower than that of unaffected skin.[15]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seborrhoeic_dermatitis
What seems to be widely believed is that this yeast feeds on sebum and then produces waste products that create the inflammation. I have used hydrogen peroxide successfully to treat seb derm so I agree that the yeast probably creates the inflammation and flaking. However seb derm is often patchy and often doesn't occur in all areas of high sebum production. What I think is possibly happening is that RA is being excreted in areas where seb derm occurs and is killing skin cells that the yeast then feeds on. The yeast then produces inflammation and flaking.

I am with you
The yeast is only a secondary symptom
Treating it will only give you temporary relief. You will be fighting the skin disease eternally. Check out the people at the Rosacea forum. Doing laser treatments, debating which oils won't feed the yeast, trying a zillion anti fungal. All to no avail.
Stop the A and heal
