Wow, I just made another improvement. I know it sounds awfully strange, but I started taking something else in conjunction with fish oil and it's almost the perfect cure. It sounds crazy right now but I'll make another thread on it soon. Keep watch, it's also cheaper than fish oil but together produce astounding results. It has just as much scientific data and actual results from people.:shifty: Who knew acne was so easy to stop all along
i think he's talking about green tea extract

I've been taking fish oils at 6 geltabs a day (1200 mg) for about 2 weeks and I haven't really notice a change of oil viscosity on my face or a change in my acne. Hopefully it starts to work soon. 
Anyway, I'll probably be taking these fish oil capsules for a really long time because of the general health benefits.

bacon grease?
already tried that regimen
doesnt work, but tastes damn good.
Is cod liver oil ok? And what if it's in liquid form?I wouldn't see why it would be a problem since it supplies omega 3's (EPA and DHA)

well be careful not to listen to the hyped up claims people make about the fish oil, in my experiance it does change your oil a good a bit,but of course there will be some variance from person to person but not much i dont think.
there is going to be people that exaggerate their claims as they really wish this is gonna do it for them, ive seen it a million times on this board and in fact
I was one of them. But as time passes and you realize it was just a placeabo effect you learn from your mistakes.
But with fish oil ive honestly seen a noticable change in my condition but im not 100% clear yet and its only been 2 weeks. I also consider the fact that from all my research and the studys ive found and what ive learned about accutane and efas theres reason to give this all ive got, there is no other supplement that exists that could have as much potential as fish oil could have on this disease.
Are you making sure you are at a 1:1 ratio? perhaps this could get you some noticable difference in your condition, if you are not doing it already.
also for my first week i took about 10 pills a day then entering the second week i upped it to 12-15 then three days later i upped it to 20 pills so i assume my ratio of omega 6:3 is like 1:3. I figured i needed a therapeutic dose of it to speed up results then ill taper off as i become clearer.
another thing to consider is the quality of fish oil you consume, there is a good change you may have gotton a rancid bottle as storing omega 3s can be hard as it is very unstable and sensitive to tempurature and light. between the four bottles ive downed so far ive noticed a difference in each one, some pills smell and tastes different some are very neutral and this is even while staying within the same brand.
or the shit just doesnt work. But if you are to read through the thread and pay attention to some of the studys that are posted you may become as convinced as i am at giving this a shot for at least two months and if you see improvements hopefully that will give you enough motivation to give it the full six months which is what i would consider a good amount of time for results.
I'd like to start off by saying that I've been following this thread from page 1.
Some things that concern me are:
This thread's title changed from "Fish oil capsules have controlled my oil production" to "Fish oil capsules have stopped all my acne".
When the thread was started, there was claim that less blotting sheets were needed during the day (which would imply that less oil was produced) . Then you said the same amount of oil was produced but it was less viscious. Recently, you said that the oil was produced on your face has been reduced dramatically. This reduction of oil only came after you started using Certain-DRI topically on your face.
Also, I've seen you jump around religiously from fad to fad. First, it was the ACV/water mixture. Then, you were overjoyed by the 10 Green Vegetable Tablets. Now, it's fish oil and Certian-DRI.
Don't get me wrong. I am not doubting the efficacy of the fish oil for it seems to be the new wonder of the health industry. Fish oil has been seen to be effective for many ailments. Nor am I accusing you of trying to "become famous" on this thread as some people are accused of.
I hate my oil skin and I would love for fish oil to be the cure, but I do not think its fair for you to claim that fish oil is what is helping you if you started using Certain-DRI topically to stop oil production.
Hi Thomas_Ahn 
The only thing I have changed about my regimen is the intake of fish oil, and wow, I actually had to drop my dose down because my face got so dry. I do not use certain-dri, though I did try that when I was about 16 lol! Wayyyy too irritating. I wash my face with a castille (veg. oil) oatmeal soap, tone with 33% acv to 66% witch hazel, and I apply BP once per day. I do take a multi and 20 mg extra zinc, but I have done that without result for ages. Give it a go - I wish you luck!

I will give it a go in a month after I finish my bottle of EPO. x)

Here you go 🙂
http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php...6982&st=360
Please take a look at the last page closely. I applied it twice, each time having to wash it off. I stopped right after. Certain dri never again. It caused irritation, and when I was on it. You can see why by what I found on there, very dangerous stuff.
I have also stopped acv topical. Please take a look at the first page to see my washing regimen now 🙂 I stopped posting in acv thread a while ago as well. It really began to smell and there was also one thread I made recently explaining how my blemishes stayed for the whole time I was on it, which made me mad. I could not ingest it anymore either, it sped up my digestion way too much and I am already really thin, so I took that out.
I do tend to get excited for a week or so, but when I see the bad side, I am quick to leave it if I see the truth for myself and then write it out somewhere. I will do the same with fish oil if it isn't doing what I really think it is. So far, it has. 🙂 And also with all the science out there, it's really something else!
vegetable 10 has also gone to 1 a day, just to get 1 serving of vegetables. Most of it I now base only from my diet, as I cannot stomach more pills than I deem necessary. And as written in the vegetable thread, their only purpose is to supplement your vegetable needs, much like a multi that supplements your vitamin needs =) I can show you those posts as well, but they are there, check it out!
I still continue to use blotting sheets, but now I can go longer without using it scared that it will clog my pores. I simply use it to control any shine, and use it after a much longer time. I used to religiously, on time, blot. Now I can forget and it will be okay, as long as I eventually do it. And when I do, it's very little, which is awesome!
You are correct, I have jumped around from fad to fad, because as you can see, I was furiously trying to find any cure, being skeptical I had to try everything to judge correctly. Much like everyone here, they say "don't knock it till you try it", so I took that to heart and tried it all, leaving in what works, taking out what didn't. I tried the things that everyone said worked wonders and cured some people. But I soon learned it first hand about how it works, why it works, and if it works at all. I based it on personal experience and then kept it or took it out if it wasn't doing what I was trying to achieve =)
I do not want you to believe me, that is the furthest from what I want. But what I want is for you to try it out. Fish oil is what has stayed constant in my diet, and for the past three weeks, my diet has been what is listed on the first page in the "long explanation" Except two weeks in, I added a pasta which is high in omega 3. So that has been much been that 🙂
In terms of it being controlled, it has been really controlled and very serious in terms of getting the same foods in daily, and the same amount of fish oil in daily to maintain that ratio.
Correct, I changed my title. 🙂 Because in the beginning, I believed that it stopped oil, but then I began researching and reading more to find what happens is the viscosity of the oil reduces itself. Therefore later on I changed the main thread based on what I saw. Now I changed the title based on the thread that I changed once more. I also updated the results area. I changed it happily! I update it, based upon my sincere progress for my entire body and skin and all, not just my face if for instance, certain dri is the reason. And being that I have been on fish oil for three weeks now, the results are more than the effect of one thing I used now and then etc.
But give it a go, if you wish to :dance:
I hope that explains it all, feel free to ask anything you wish, I'm only here to be honest.
I can understand the skeptical mindset, I would honestly be shocked if you believed someone who had his entire problem fixed within a three week period.
I also do know that you also know the effects of fish oil, which you have stated, and that I am glad for 🙂
Again, definitely ask me anything you wish and I will gladly explain my actions.
So in essence, I believe I have been relatively consistent. I remember being on acv and veggie pills before this. They never reduced my sebum nor change it's viscosity at all =(. So they are not my main focus as the results shown were after them as well =)
:dance:
And don't worry, I wouldn't come to an acne forum to be popular. I am here because I needed to find an answer, so I dedicate my time researching and helping others with what I find etc and being honest if it works or doesn't, as I always post if the thing I love has hurt me (certain dri, acv etc). 🙂 Popularity, if anything, is something I would want in reality or my local forums I am on.
I am actually really glad you do not believe me, because of one reason, I want you to try it and see if it works for you. We're all here for one cause ,and we're all on the same team for sure, so when you are finished with EPO I cannot wait for you to join! I will continue to post any results and changes I also make, as I am currently doing, and see if in fact fish oil is the primary reason with everything staying the same as before. If in fact I become clear (not spot free, but actual clear) I will note that as well. Hopefully by then many more people also have success as everyone is currently having and they will continue to post their feedback with this product so we can hopefully see on what span of people this really works well on etc =)!
I hope that helped!

this is why exactly why I decided not to post on this thread a while back, because of him changing his intial thread was really pissing me off, but even though i knew he was going to do it again, i eventually said to hell with it and decided to post here again because i like the topic.
Not to mention he would take some of the tips i would give people and post them in the intitial thread making it seem as though he already stated it, and that i was repeating his ideas, but what are you gonna do? It really was a discredit to anyone who was contributing to the thread. But its a free internet site and any any fool can post here, thats actually kind of the beauty of it.
But it would be nice if everyone had some integrity that posted here.
shiphoppers and trendfollowers cant think critically for themselves.
Hey you guys -
CAN IT!
Seriously, I like you both, I loff this thread, and I freaking LOVE fish oil. Don't make me warn you, or close the thread. It does not matter who said what, we are all reaping the benefits. If we can manage to keep our minds open, we can learn a lot from each other. K??
Now play NICE

Ayla,
What form of fish oil do you take? How much EFA/DHA are you getting everyday?
I took fish oils for three years before I became a vegetarian. It did nothing for my acne.
How many did you take, what was your diet like? It probably won't do much unless you take the required dosages and eat the correct foods, if in fact that was the case. Let me know 🙂 thanks.

Just giving you the heads up. Vitacost.com sells the same pills at 130 for 13.16 + 4.99 shipping/handling. ^_^
I think I may try NSI Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA pills. They're 400 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA per pill. 240 pills for 21.99. AND they're strawberry flavored. :surprised:
(NSI is the Vitacost brand pills and their return policy is 30 days even if you opened and tried pills).

Dang! I'll have to look into that 😀 I would just check how they test the content (mercury, lead, cadmium, PCB's & other contaminants) and how they guarantee the potency. Fish oil can expire - though this usually produces an extremely offensive odor. The Carlson's have no aftertaste that I can detect.

Coming from their website:
"Mega EFA conforms to the Council for Responsible Nutrition's (CRN) monograph, which establishes strict quality standards for manufacturing marine-sourced omega-3 EFAs. In addition, it's the only fish oil product on the market to contain USP-Verified ingredients, thus setting the standard for quality."
I don't think we can ever be sure if the pills are potent. These claims of potency, efficacy, and safety come the companies themselves claiming that they've gotten tests from either independent FDA regulating companies (Carlson) or tests that were performed through councils (NSI). There are three reviews that rate the NSI brand at http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Mega-EFA-Omega...#ProductReviews .
I checked the "other reviews" which the reviews gave to other products. They did not give perfect reviews to any other products that they bought, but they swear by NSI Fish Oil.
NSI pills are the best value that I've found if you want at least 1800mg of EPA + DHA a day. But it'll still cost you about $110 a year. :doubt:
