Golden Chamomile Cream
I emailed the authors of the study on golden chamomile cream that was reported recently. This is what they said about the product:
The commercial name of the cream is "Arubix" and it ispart of "Sebamed" products The products are German.Hope the information helps.
Seems like it is this:
http://www.sicobel.com/gb-cosmetic/care-products/facecare.htm#aru1
(we have no commercial link to that site or these products...)
The product also contains licorice extract which we've talked about before. Email us if you've tried this product, sounds potentially interesting!

Dr. Nase court case - Indiana Star Report
Rosacea "guru" to end court case, according to the Indiana Star:
http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051007/NEWS01/510070519
Quote:
"For instance, Nase has stated that "after detailed interviews and evaluation," Indiana's Medical Licensing Board had "granted Dr. Geoffrey Nase full privileges to offer in-depth consultations to rosacea sufferers." However, Michael Rinebold, the board's director, said Nase's claim is false.
Nase also has stated the Indiana State Medical Association gave him approval to call himself a rosacea specialist, to consult with patients over the Internet and to dispense medical advice. "I can tell you point-blank that is a bold-faced lie," said Adele Lash, the association's spokeswoman.
Nase did not return a call to his home Thursday seeking comment after the settlement was reached."

Grape seed extract and vitamin C increase blood pressure
Nice find by David... Grape seed extract + vitamin C increases blood pressure. Quite a high supplementation with GSE (1000mg/day) but still, very much worth being aware of.
"A significant interaction between grape-seed and vitamin C treatments for effects on BP was observed"
...
"Conclusion: Although the mechanism remains to be elucidated, these results suggest caution for hypertensive subjects taking supplements containing combinations of vitamin C and polyphenols."
I know that many rosaceans are taking these supplements.
