air conditioning
I’m currently having real success with Salcura. It’s no cure but I
have about 80% clearance and flaking is down to a minimum. However I’m
hoping to go long term to possibly (Japan) to teach but am worried
about the air-conditioning. I was triggered to mention air-
conditioning because Tony mentiaoned his sd started in an office
environment. I had to leave working in offices because the air-
conditioioning was terrible for my skin, easily the worst it’s been.
So I would appreciate any experiences with ac which is more common but
not used as frequently as the US in the UK. And any way around the
problem. James

james,
is it the AC or is it a dirty, moldy system. my problems seemed to have started
when the company i work for moved to a new building. there are a host of
problems with the old out dated heating/ac and the owner won’t fix them. for me
cool/cold air is essential, hot dry air is what gets me. i am dreading summer.
sweating brings on out breaks. tony said that after he cleared up that working
out and sweating help detox the skin and contribute to better skin. the cold
air seems to tame the red splotchy look. currently when i get out of the shower
my face is all splotchy and red. hour or so later, better. recently, most day i
wake up fine, it’s the warm water, i guess. this week has been a bad one though,
after a bit of a good period. much stress lately. honestly i don’t know if i
have SD or some sort of eczema or both. SD is in my scalp for sure. i really
don’t get any real flaking just the damn red splotchy, itchy, raised skin on my
cheeks, brows forehead, side of nose. oh well, way to frustrated with it all
lately. it does seem that it takes an attack on many fronts to beat SD.

I lived in Japan for the summer of 2003 and it was HOOTTT AS HEYAL!
It’s very humid which is bad for SD. I truly don’t know how I
survived it. I was kindof confused from your post though. Do you want
Air conditioning or you dont’ want to be in places with air
conditioning? I know for me, I always tried to stay in the AC because
Japan was so hot that I got flares like crazy. When I would turn the
airconditioner on at night my SD would be twenty times better than
without it. I don’t know if I’m backwards from the rest of you guys
on here but as far as SD is concerned AC is my best friend.

Apparently, air conditioning (among other things) reduces the number of
negative ions in the air. The theory is that negative ions accelerate
the delivery of oxygen to our cells, having positive effects, while
positive ions do the opposite.
"Scientific research concluded that negatively charged ions have
positive effects on living organisms. Plants grow faster and healthier,
lab animals are calmed and more able to perform certain tasks, and
humans respond with increased alertness and relaxation."
…
"Unfortunately most of the elements in our modern day environments act
as a vacuum for negative ions. Air-conditioning, heating and synthetic
fibers in our clothing and furniture cause a severe depletion of
negative ions. Pollution from car exhaust, cigarette smoking,
fluorescent lighting, electrical and electronic equipment, TV screens,
overcrowding and even breathing all contribute to negative ion
depletion. The typical home interior can be measured to average 100
negative ions per cc."
