UPDATE

Going to make a list of everything I am currently using/taking to fight PCOS, insulin resistance, acne, and depression.

Supplements (with meals):

Black Cohosh (1 a day to lower testosterone) Not sure how much help this is doing, but it eases my mind i guess.

Symplex F (1 per meal) I call this my "happy pill" it helps with hormones by supporting vital organs.

Garden of Life Perfect Food Raw Capsules (8/day: 2/per meal) filled with nutrients and vitamins, makes my skin glow! love this.

Saw Palmetto (1 or 2 a day) Helps with hairloss and excess growth on face and body, lowers testosterone, has helped a lot with acne.

Garlic Supplement (when i remember) great for healing and preventing inflammation.

Turmeric Supplement (1/per day) lowers testosterone, regulates hormones, prevents inflammation, etc

Green Pastures Fish Oil (when i remember) vitamins A, D, and K

Zinc and Vitamin D (only when my diet lacks these vitamins for the day) good for inflammation and many other things lol

Regime:

I wash my makeup off with a combination of Olive oil and jojoba oil

Then apply manuka honey for about 15 minutes

Rinse

(sometimes ill do the taping method and apple cider vinegar toner)

Moisturize with 'Simple Light Moisturizer' OR Aloe Vera from the leaf.

Mornings:

Wet face

Apply manuka honey (15 minutes-1 hour)

Rinse

Moisturize with 'Simple Moisturizer with SPF)

Face got worse today. Like clockwork, 2 weeks after my period during the ovulation stage I get cysts. I'm hoping the natural progesterone cream I started using will help me keep these breakouts under control.

I forced myself to put makeup on today and go for a walk. The sunny weather temporarily cheered me up, but then I was supposed to go out and I didn't because I caught a glimpse in the mirror of the acne bumps on one side of my face. I took all my makeup off, put my pijamas on, and here I am.

My face really went from bad to worse within a couple of days. I feel like watching a trainwrech everytime ovulation comes around, and nothing I do seems to keep it at bay. The only positive is that my PMS breakout was mild this time, and there is definitely much less inflammation. I think my diet and the glutathione supplements have a lot to do with this.

sorry to hear that

i seem to always have recommendations

and heres a new one! lol

it is A-MAZ-ING.

although i havent really noticed a huge increase in energy, ive noticed a glow in my skin..

and it also seems to have healed an infection i had in an un-mentionalble area which is awesome.

it regulates blood sugar levels.. and gives a lot of nutrients from plant based sources that arent always easy to incorporate everyday, you know?

i dont know, i just love it so far. haah

i havent been as strict on  my diet, no longer fullyyyy raw cause i eat chicken now<3 but the only bad stuff ive been eating, still, are chips and salsa.

ive had more salt in my diet lately, but i havent noticed any negative effects

well.. i did have a headache yesterday. so i guess thats negative lol

i really see an improvement though in my skin.

and ive been meaning to ask you!!

how did the msm cream work out? are you still using it?

some testosterone lowering herbs ive been taking and have been helping are: black cohosh, saw palmetto, and turmeric.

and ive noticed improvement. especially when i started saw palmetto. but i was taking four a day (one for every time i ate)

now i only take two. and replaced the other two times with the cohosh and turmeric.

fish oil is also very good.

as far as diet goes.. alternivista is spot on.. low glycemic foods

go easy on sugary fruit.. eat a lot of veggies, even if just in smoothies.

i personally avoid anything processed. even my beloved bread<3 aha

its tough at first, but it gets easier, i enjoy my salads more than ever and actually find myself craving veggies! woo!

youre face looks great!!!! and to respond the the comment you left on my page im  glad you tried the cucumber juice

it really is sooo yummy!

its my new breakfast instead of cereal

Thanks, I see some slow improvement particularly with decreased inflammation. How is your skin doing?

I'm getting addicted to cucumber juice! What brand do you usually get? I got one that has no added sugar and looks like water almost.

thats great! ive been seeing improvement.

but its on and off, somehow?

one day i wake up and my skin looks nicer and glowy, etc.

the next day its red and splotchy...

so i dont know.

its hard to tell sometimes if im making progress at all..

but the acne that i do get is less inflamed! and much smaller than usual. so id  say thats good

and for the cucumber juice i just make my own! haha i have a juicer

i juice 2 cucumber, 3 celery stalks, and 1 apple. and its really refreshing!
