Since epsom salts cleans out your system, is drinking a glass of it everyday going to effect the dosages of B5 i'm taking? Is it going to "wash" the B5 and other supplements i'm taking out of my system?? :confused:

Drinking Epsom salts every day isn't very smart...... You're overdosing on magnesium and dehydrating yourself.

I just wanted to say since eating a few slices of raw onion a day and a few cloves of garlic.. I have seen an improvement in my skin... I still got a pimple or two that just came today.. but my red marks and overall complexion don't look as bad.. and that's only after a few days.. To me that's almost unbelievable.. I am going to do this everyday now..

So you are eating both onion and garlic to get results? Do you chew the garlic or just swallow it?

as for garlic I take some of the salsa I have laying around the house and I have a garlic crusher type of contraption that cuts the garlic clove into very tiny pieces.. the contraption looks like this IPB Image and I put the pieces in the salsa.. mix it in well and eat with tortilla chips :).. I love salsa.. and this way it isn't as unbearable.. and I didn't cook it.. so it still has its nutrients..

as for the onion.. I just bear it.. I cut a few slices of onion and eat it bit by bit.. it hasn't been easy mind you.. I tried to shove like a huge piece down once.. and it came back up and I had to force it back down... my eyes were wartering and I almost threw up..so with the onion.. take it slowly lol..

 

but yeah I usually eat about 2 or 3 cloves of garlic a day.. and a few slices of onion.

 

to me it's worth a shot.. and if it doesn't work after a few days.. you can give it up... it's a lot easier than other acne methods I have tried.. that's for sure

Dont eggs contain sulfur?

 

 

Read the post!!

 

 

i just started to eat onion pieces yesterday. i had been taking msm but it didn't help whatsoever so i stopped. i'm hoping onion will help because it's fresher.

how much onion is everyone eating? it's dreadful tasting!

 

I eata heap of onion and garilc and tomatoes with my steak: totally delicious. A quick brush of the teeth and I can kiss my wife.

 

Ps Clear skin, too.

Lol, I cut up and onion and ate about a quarter and it really hrut ym head it was quite painful to eat... it must get into our sinuses :P

 

I'm so interested in taking MSM and sulfur supplements they seem very good but i'm wary about mixing MSM with cod liver oil capsules which i'm currently taking. I'm also wary of what MSM will be doing to my body I don't want to over do it on supplements... My realy question is; is MSM safe to use long term? E.g. for a period of years?

yes, yes and yes. if anything sulfur helps preserve omega-3's which would otherwise oxidize, which is why it has been recommended to consume cod liver oil / flax oil with cottage cheese.

 

when i did that, however, i broke out horribly. guess i conveniently have an allergy to both flax and cod liver, because omega-3 eggs and fish don't break me out, just those two things...

I tried the onion until I could get the MSM tabs. I don't know if it broke me out but I had terrible zits on my neck that would heal and then come back. I have since dropped the msm tabs and while I still have some zits there once in a while I still don't know if that was the cause or something else but I am not going back to them.

I guess white or maybe yellow, red is too strong for me and I don't know of any other sulfur suppliments. You could try a GNC store to see what they sell or maybe Walmart or any place they sell vits. Elf

guys, if you're going to eat onions, please don't be stupid and eat them straight up like the thread starter suggested. seriously, they're so easy to incorporate into any cooking dish, whether it be a sandwich or a salad...

well i did inface eat a whole onion last night (im a guy and i cant cook so i just cut it up and ate it like ceral) lol. it was pretty bad as u can imagine but upon eating it the large pores on my nose and to either side of it shrunk as if i had just slapped my old topical regime on2 my skin! i was very suprized. my pores are back 2 normal this morning and its far 2 early to say if there was a change in my acne (its definately not worse)

Eggs have sulfur so I think that would probably be fine.

yea but alot of ppl say that eggs break them out. and if u read the original post u would see that u cant apply heat to the product that has sulfur in it or its sulfer content will b lost, therefore r u going to b chugging ure eggs raw? if so there r risks in doing so.

 

im sticking to onions

 

gud luck though =)

I luuuvvv raw onions, eat them everyday :D

 

I have heard the same thing about sulfur and acne. To get used to eating the onion maybe you should combine it with something that would lessen the intensivness of the flavor.

 

The only things I dont like: The smelly breath it gives me :sick:
