[rosacea] Re: my skin is clear for a month now

Thats 3 rabbits, I lost about 10 pounds also, thanks for your
encouraging words. I have been taking flaxseed oil for a while, but
didnt know it was good for rosacea....as for milk thistle I take it a
couple times a year for a few weeks as a liver cleanse....how often
are you taking it?

3 months with only 1 flare, and it was the day after I scarfed a lot
of pizza.....several days of feeling that burning feeling, then it
subsided again, so it looks pretty good that there is a connection
