Dear Dan

I am busy doing my masters thesis in psychology about the psychological and emotional impact of acne on teenagers. I find your website very cool and supporting to all us acne sufferers out there. I have only contructed my blog a few hours ago – I am still very new at this! But I will really appreciate it very much if you and any of your bloggers could go have a look see.

You will surely hear a lot more from me and I applaud your effort to talk about “that which may not be named” the condition called , acne which often make its victims feel like it is their fault.

Dan,

I think it would be great if you could add to your site a natural preventative approach.

I wanted to share with you my experience in treating adult acne. I am a 39 year old female who started experiencing problems with acne while I was in college. At certain times in my life, it improved but about 2 years ago, it got pretty bad. I felt self conscious about it. I began to do research and learned about inflammation. During this time, I was experience symptoms that I later learned were the result of a hormonal inbalance (Polycycsic Ovarian Syndrome). Reluctant to get on the Pill, I continued to search for a natural alternative. I changed my high carbohydrate diet to a low glycemic diet, began an herbal and vitamin regime, and continued excersing. Through this regime I was able to decrease inflammation and improve acne, increase energy levels, lose weight, and allow my body to heal itself. At this time, I began to notice that when I did have a break out, they healed and faded quickly. As far as a cleansing regime, I use Aveeno face wash and Eucerin face sensitive mosturizer. In my case, the breakouts were a symptom of an underlying problem with insulin resistance. A high carbohydrate diet was causing high levels of insulin that increased inflammation. Whenever, I eat a food product that has a high glycemic value such as enriched flour and sugar, I see about 3-4 new bumps the next day. I have been on this regime for about 2 months. Prior to that I had made changes but I didn’t have the whole package. This has been the only thing that works for me. After reading about Dan’s Regime, I am wondering if Dan’s Regime would compliment what I am already doing. Especially for those days that my hormones get thrown off balance. I also want to say that during this time I had a medical doctor do a battery of test and according to the results I was doing great, but felt awful. I hope my experience helps someone. I will continue to read this blog if you have any questions.

Dan, you really are a breath of fresh air. I love the Net, but it can be a very ugly place sometimes – hopefully your way of doing things will become more common.

Btw, just a nightly application of your superb acne gel ended fifteen years of acne suffering for me (yes, 15yrs – I’m 28) – I appreciate it, and I spread the word whenever possible.

Best,
Jeff.
