I think I've read that farmed salmon is highly inflammatory. There's some old threads about it somewhere. I'll see if I can find one.

If you search for "farmed salmon" (or just "salmon") you'll find plenty more. Hope those nasty cysts will be gone soon!

Salmon is not the problem. Fish oil supplement doesnot work for every one. What supplements are u taking?

I know this might sound odd...but could it be possible that the salmon I've been eating for the last few days is causing my acne to become worse? I realized the salmon I've been eating is farm raised, not caught wild. I eat a very clean diet, I juice everyday, I eat lean meats, and I only drink water. I know I have been asking a lot of questions on here lately but I am so determined to fight this acne problem. This morning I woke up with 3 cysts on the right side of my face, I feel another one forming on the left side of face. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

 

Yes it is possible. You are what you eat - and that goes for farm raised salmon too. They are fed diet's that aren't natural to them. Mostly grain products and GMO foods. I wouldn't recommend to eat farm raised animals. Even wild caught salmon is risky because of how polluted the oceans are. It's sad because you have to be VERY cautious with anything from the oceans: it is so contaminated with toxins such as mercury, fuel, and other heavy metals. Great to be alive in the 21st century isn't it?

The safest salmon I heard is from the Atlantic ocean.

Farm raised means that they use a lot of substances to make the fish mature faster, on top of all kinds of other stuff that you don't want to ingest. Buy only oceanic fish, or find a good fish oil supplement. Actually, fish from the rivers is more polluted and full of heavy metals than oceanic fish.

I don't know if its making your acne worse, but farm raised salmon should be avoided. Some fish are suitable for farming, but salmon aren't one of them. Their close relatives, rainbow and other trout are better if responsibly farmed. Tilapia are a fabulous fish for farming but you won't get the high omega 3 as they aren't a fatty fish. And you have to be even more concerned about how they were farmed. They can live crowded together in filth.

Yes, you can't eat salmon or any other fish, meat, chicken, eggs, nuts, grains or anything. You can only eat vegetables and seeds like a fucking rabbit. Everything else is inflammatory, very unhealthy and will break you out. But oh those vegetables now they are all good for you they magically make everything better and you'll never have disease again and live 220 years old.

Binga, i'm taking a wide variety of vitamins and minerals as well as evening primrose and borage oil. I was using a flaxseed oil for a few days but the breakouts got even worse so I backed off from it. I have some good fish oil liquid coming in the mail soon, it is by carslon labs...supposed to be good stuff.

rawhide, maybe trying an all veggie/fruit diet for a few days might help flush out any toxins/inflammation from my body? I eat really clean as it is already...

Farmed raised fish is just awful, until they clean up their way of farming, all farmed fish should be avoided.

The world's best salmon and safest comes from alaska, especially sockeye, which can't be farmed because of its eating habits. It is very low in the food chain and contains very low levels of mercury and other toxins. The safest and probably the best if you want to eat fish everyday, is sardines.

Fish is very safe to eat providing you do your research about what fish are sustainable, low in the food chain and are wild caught.

I was joking. Diet can only get you so far and obsession doesn't help. Only thing I can recommend after insane amount of stuff I've tried is supplementing zinc. I was clear or close to it most of the year 2010 thanks to zinc. I only followed a semi-clean diet and often drank alcohol during weekends. Unfortunately I no longer get help from zinc.

Yeah I knew you were lol. I'm taking zinc right now as well, 50mg of chelated zinc. Hopefully I see some improvements.

Wrong. Most seeds are inflammatory. Most fish are anti inflammatory. And you eat both, you just eat more anti inflammatory foods.

Farm raised salmon can be very dirty....it's probably not the direct cause of your acne getting worse, unless it was full of bacteria and/or somehow genetically modified and in that case would cause problems with digestion, which could release toxins through skin in the form of acne. But, like many have said, avoid farm raised salmon but don't freak out that it caused a break out.
