Re: [rosacea] Statins and Inflammatory disease [was cold ponds cream.]

is lipitor a statin? lipitor can carry a hefty pricetag on the body, joint pain and liver problems.

Hi all,

FYI, there has been some fairly recent interesting research on the
effects of statins in other inflammatory diseases, cancer, etc.
Here's an easy to read article that discusses many of these studies:

heck away from it. Elena and 3rd, so far for the z cream I have seen
100% improvement for my eyes(no longer bother me) (no longer red) My
ears (no longer bother me unless I have an allergic reaction to
something (which is not as often as it was). The papules, i have less
but since the z cream makes you break out here and there when killing
the mites, sometimes i still break out and then i notice my skin being
very clear afterwards. My cheeks and nose are pink in color not red
now. I still react to certain foods, and heat etc... so this is not
gone yet, also walter (from the z cream forum) indicates rosacea
allergic responses take a year or more to stop reacting, it is a
process that takes time. Elena, I am

better renewal skin in replace of it. I am pleases so far, and have
yet to see my rosacea gone completely, but going back to the way it
was, I am better now for sure. I am 33 years old now, I think i
developed it when i was around 26 or so not exactly sure, but it
started off slowly like creeping up and then procrascinated into
papules along with the flushing. I am type 2 rosacea. I have it
cheeks and nose. hope this helps you.

interesting statements. First, what is the cholesterol med your mom is
taking so we can look into it. And did you or your sister (sounds like
your sister suffers from this too?) give it a try too and what
happened? Second, it's so funny about the Ponds. If it is Ponds cold
cream then that's what my mom uses too LOL...........it's been around
forever and is the "old-fashioned" stuff I think many of our moms
used/use. Can your skin tolerate it? And third, you have really stuck
it out with the z-cream.......I am so impressed! When you say you are
50% better, is that in all aspects of the Rosacea? Like p&p's,
redness, dryness, hot burny skin and flushes? Also, if you had any eye
problems, do you find that that is better too? Some people have said
that even their eye symptoms got better using z-cream (not even the
one they put out specifically for the eyes). Okay, those are my
questions. Sorry to overload you but
