Over 13 million North Americans suffer from rosacea.It is most commonly seen in those people who have honest skin and is sometimes referred to as the “Curse of the Celts” or a “Peaches and Cream” complexion.
Onset usually occurs between 20-40 years of age.
Rosacea is a long lasting, non-scarring skin condition of the face that is often misdiagnosed as adult acne. It varies in severity and does not always worsen with time. Typically, you will experience inappropriate flushing that is not usually associated with sweating and/or persistent facial redness. It is common to have broken blood vessels, telangiectasias, on your cheeks. You may also experience bouts of inflammation that cause red papules (small bumps) or pustules. But, comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) are not part of rosacea.

Magnesium is a very vital mineral for right body function. It is essential for nerve impulse, cell and muscular function. Many enzymes depend on magnesium as a co-factor, this is specifically right for enzymes involved in the production of adenosin triphospate (ATP – cell energy) and reactions involved in the breakdown of food carbohydrate, stout and protein. Magnesium, in a way, has a strangle hold over the energy supplies and energy-using processes of the cell, which makes even a marginal magnesium deficiency a significant risk for cell vitality.
Magnesium is also an vital element in the overall balance of acid/alkalis within the body. For body health an alkalis environment is vital for the body to be able to function properly. But, todays life style leads towards an acid environment, making a magnesium deficient environment. Stress is also placed on body magnesium levels with the use of antibiotics, some chemotherapy agents used in cancer treatment, diuretics and alcohol. Sugar inhibits magnesium absorption and sodium excess expels magnesium from the cell.
An acute state is usually the result of a sudden massive magnesium loss due to repeated vomiting, diarrhoea, ulcerative colitis, kidney problems or extreme alcoholism. Acute deficiency upsets the nerve and muscle functions making a range of problems.
