Hi you guys. I spent today going over the acne survey that Daniel, our intern, is compiling. Time got away from me so I didn’t get to a video today, but I’ll get one up tomorrow. Daniel has a couple of doctors who are helping him, and the survey is coming along well. I added a ton of things to it. It may end up being several surveys–perhaps one on diet, one on genetics, one on stress, and one on medication history.

Imagine all of the data we can amass with all of us here at Acne.org! I think this is an historic opportunity. We can give something valuable to the dermatologic and scientific community with this. It’s potentially so important that it may need to be peer reviewed and fully vetted–like, as in, taken totally seriously :) I’m really sinking my teeth into it. See you tomorrow!

I did some research on zinc. When taken internally it acts as an anti-inflammatory which can help with acne symptoms. Just be sure not to take it on an empty stomach and not to take more than 100mg a day–50mg is what is normally recommended in what I’m reading.

I’m aware the intro to this video says “impute” instead of “input”. lol. Kent has been editing the videos (and doing an amazing job I might add), but he’s dyslexic and spells things in his own special way :-) Some of the smartest people ever to grace the earth have been dyslexic actually. But I digress…
