About the author

Christiane Billen, born 1969, pharmacist and alternative practitioner,

founder of Quantum satis

(practice for naturopathy & integrative medicine),

wants to enlighten with the new Quantum satis series not only about the clinical picture acne inversa (AI, Hidradenitis suppurativa), but above all to give hope:

acne inversa, once considered rare, is increasingly attracting the attention of treating physicians and also of researchers

and is now considered to be curable!

With the therapeutic options now available, more and more AI-patients have the chance to live a pain-free and unburdened life.

Not within a few days, but in the foreseeable future, if they are prepared to do something about it.

The earlier the correct diagnosis is made, the better the chances. For this reason, it is also of immense importance that awareness of the disease continues to grow. Therefore, this book series is also aimed at all those who have repeatedly suffered from abscesses, pimples, furuncles, fistulas within the last six months. And also to their relatives and friends/girlfriends.

In many years of self-employment in my pharmacy, originally from my own affliction (AI patient until 2010), my consulting focus acne inversa has developed and led to the fact that I was allowed to accompany numerous people on their way with acne inversa and also out of acne inversa. This knowledge should now be a support and hope for even more people. Since acne inversa develops multifactorially, it is often the little things that...

Nutrition plays an important role in acne inversa (AI) for the path to cure. Rarely can a cure be achieved multimodularly without a change in dietary habits.

Therefore, the 2nd volume of the Quantum-satis series is dedicated to the nutrition of AI patients: the food triggers, the anti-inflammatory diet as well as weight management and many other exciting facts:

Nutrition and Acne Inversa: The Holistic Solution for a Better Quality of Life is your comprehensive guide to controlling acne inversa through diet and lifestyle changes. With the information and practical tips in this book, you will be encouraged to make positive changes in your diet, sanitize your gut, regulate your hormone balance, and pursue healthy weight loss if necessary. The Hormesis Concept will help you not only improve your skin health and reduce the symptoms of acne inversa.

Take your health into your own hands and discover the transformative power of a holistic diet.

With this book, you'll be on your way to a better quality of life and a positive impact on your acne inversa."

Foreword

Dear Reader,

In everyday life, I hear the following questions about acne inversa (AI, Hiddradenitis suppurativa / HS) and nutrition again and again:

But how exactly should I do this?

Which foods should I avoid?

And how am I supposed to do it all?

The mountain just seems too high!

In many cases, it's about weight reduction, dietary changes, motivation to exercise, a completely damaged gut microbiome due to previous antibiotic therapies, and much more.

Yes, it is a lot!

And: it takes time!

But step by step, in small stages, it is possible, I have already experienced this with myself and also with many patients.

This book is supposed to help:

This book should

help to make the disease acne inversa (AI) better known, to enable earlier diagnoses and to prevent a lot of suffering due to the chronification of the disease

be there for AI patients who have lost all hope because they have not yet found the right therapist and/or have not yet found their own triggers to be on the path to healing with hope

Explain to AI patients the basics of an anti-inflammatory diet and its benefits to the healing process

Help AI patients get back to a normal BMI and thus get out of the vicious cycle of pain, not enough exercise, not enough exercise, weight gain, new AI flare-ups, etc.

Describing to AI patients the importance of a healthy gut and showing the benefits it brings to many chronic conditions - including AI!

I, too, have dealt with AI for a number of years. Almost 30 years ago, at a time when seemingly no one knew anything about the disease.

That has shaped me very much!

And even though I no longer have any symptoms today:

I still remember very clearly how every single day with AI felt to me! You don't forget that...

I still know the helplessness when nobody can help you.

Fortunately, that is different today!

Noch in eigener Sache:

Since both my

Acne inversa blog (at www.praxis-quantumsatis@com) ,

Acne-inversa-Facebook page (acne inversa consultation C. Billen Heilpraktikerin Xanten Port d'Andratx) ,

as well as the Quantum-satis series

are created outside my working hours, in the evening hours, I put the focus on the content and not the design. The aesthete may please forgive me for this!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank from the bottom of my heart and with love

to my friends who supported me in my AI times and stood by me despite my whining about my pain

to Tine van Loon: the start of my EMS training with her was the beginning of my healing and the joint training as a healer and her constant friendly support are more than valuable to me.

to my patients, who shared their suffering with me and are the basis for all this…

and of course to my partner Reiner, my Cherie: my muse & inspiration with heart, mind & creativity...

I have deliberately refrained from advertising or support from pharmaceutical companies, in order to be able to independently write my opinion on the subject of acne inversa, not only now, but also in the future.

Above all, I am happy if I could help someone! You are welcome to send me a short feedback by mail about the individual course of the disease or the healing process.

It is thanks to the feedback from my patients that my knowledge of AI has developed over the past 30 years. Without this willingness to share sometimes very intimate and private topics with me, all this would not be possible.

Therefore, I am sure that I will continue to receive positive feedback from you, my dear readers, which I can then use for the benefit of other patients,

I would like to thank you very much in advance,

Yours

Christiane Billen

PS: In this English version, it is unfortunately not possible from the publisher's side to combine an international distribution with the printing of colored pictures. This unfortunately makes the beautiful recipe photos look a bit bleak - I apologize for this and console myself with the fact that this black-and-white edition can thus be offered at a much lower cost than the German version with the color photos.
