I hope I don't jinx myself with this. This is the 1st time in 24 years I've been acne free. I strongly believe what I use can help everyone else who suffers with this. I had the worst case of acne I have ever seen to this day in my middle teens. I had 3 rounds of Accutane (probably saved my life, my brother didn't take it and committed suicide because of severe depression). BUT after 3 rounds of Accutane and tons of other prescriptions I still battled acne (and losing). So when I turned 40 I decided enough was a enough. I was going to take my 4th round of Accutane until my new insurance wouldn't pay for any of it. So I went online in search of a remedy. I tried Zinc, Vit A, and was going to try B5. The risk of taking any of these didn't scare me in the least, I was that fed up. So here it is....

I decided to try supplements/herbs/natural products that offered benefits other than just to treat acne. As you are all well aware of, it can get kind of expensive Megadosing on vitamins and it takes awhile to get results. I also refuse to change my diet, I love food way too much. Atleast if I took only things with other health benefits, I would feel I wasn't wasting my money. The 1st thing I tried & still using is ACV. It works for Acid Reflux & balanced my pH. A day or 2 later I started taking Turmeric (I still don't know why). My acne cleared right up. I thought it was ACV until I started getting headaches. I blamed it on Turmeric. 2 days later my acne was back. So I said to myself the headaches are worth it. 24 hr's later the acne was gone again. My headaches are gone now, so I don't know what caused them (maybe job related stress). I then tried MSM, I started getting pimples again but they didn't last very long but I stopped anyway. I just wanted something other in case Turmeric stopped working (which it has not). So after reading all the great benefits of Niacin (no flush), I tried it. Wow is it amazing. After 2 weeks of Niacin, I'm up to 1000mg's. When I 1st started taking it I got 1 pimple, it went away very quickly. When I went to 1000Mg's, samething. I am working up to 2000Mg's because it benefits smokers (which I am) @ that dose. I also use concentrated Lemon juice as a spot treatment twice a day for when I experiment with other things that break me out (like Vit C) and for scars/discoloration. It don't know if it works but I like the slight burning sensation I feel when I put it on with a Qtip & it only cost me .99 which has lasted me over a month so far.

In closing, everything I take it very cheap, easy to use, works fast, (which doesn't matter to me) very safe to use, and highly effective. The results are fantastic. I wish everyone would just try this. Now if I could just get rid of these scars naturally. Maybe I will someday.
