i came to the conclusion that i don't have blackheads. my body just produces too much oil and it's getting trapped in my pores. that's what i'm seeing when i look very closely in the mirror.

 

 

um, what do you think a blackhead is? essentially, it's just a clogged pore. and what clogs that pore?...oil and dirt and dead skin cells.

 

clogged pore = blackhead. it just seems like on this site, people don't like to call a "clogged pore" a "blackhead" until it's been there for a while and they can actually see that the tip of the clog/plug is black...but that doesnt mean that a few weeks/months earlier that same "clogged pore" was any different without it looking black. it's all the same either way - it doesnt really matter what label anyone gives to it.

 

i also agree with everyone who said that blackheads don't dry out. they can fall out on their own, but more often than not they're pretty stubborn. you just don't just step out of the shower (in which you didn't use any soap or cleanser), towel yourself off, and all of your pores are suddenly clear, and your feet are encircled by a ring of blackheads that just magically fell out of your skin and are collecting on your bathroom floor.

Shmelis,

 

Does it really matter where I live, my education, my life....

 

We are all human beings created by the same God.

 

 

Nope. Doesn't matter. Just curious. :D

 

 

Curiosity will kill the cat. :D

 

The domesticated city people (shmelis) from the ivy league societies try to prove 2+2=1;

 

The jungle dwellers know 2+2=4;

 

Nicola Tesla (migrant genius) invented the American electricity system. He refused to think about and marry the stupid American Females. Thus he preserved near perfect clear complexion without the sickness of acne. His best friends were the pigeons who brought him regular messages from the jungles.

NICOLA TESLA REFUSED TO THINK ABOUT AMERICAN FEMALES OF SHMELIS BREED

 

He used to have a walk every day in the park to feed the pigeons. If for any reason, he could not carry out this duty, he would pay a child to feed the pigeons in his place. There is a relation mentioned with a white pigeon which every day visited Tesla through his open window. Tesla said that his life had a meaning as long as this pigeon existed, and indeed when the pigeon died Tesla's work ended.

 

Nikola Tesla died on January 7, 1943 in a New York hotel room, alone, rather poor and surely forgotten. He kept his notes locked, and rumors exist that secret agents took these notes right after his death, at least to investigate his strange claims towards the end of his life (death rays that could make whole armies vanish in seconds, communication with other planets etc.)

 

A few efforts have been carried to establish proper fame for Tesla, but he still remains the great unknown even in scientific circles.

 

Large scientific organizations refuse even today to include his name in the history of science. Are these organisations controlled by American Females like Shmelis?

Umm.... He's hardly unknown. The "Tesla" is the most commonly used unit of magnetic flux and magnetic field strength. But I wouldn't expect you to know that, or understand how to use it.

 

Why am I being flamed for being an American woman educated in the Ivy League?

Survey: 1 in 5 Ivy League students injure selves over stress

 

http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll...308/1242/health

 

The Associated Press

 

 

CHICAGO ‚ Nearly 1 in 5 students at two Ivy League schools say they have purposely injured themselves by cutting, burning or other methods, a disturbing phenomenon that psychologists say they are hearing about more often.

 

For some young people, self-abuse is an extreme coping mechanism that seems to help relieve stress; for others it's a way to make deep emotional wounds more visible.

 

The results of the survey at Cornell and Princeton are similar to other estimates on this frightening behavior. Counselors say it's happening at colleges, high schools and middle schools across the country.

 

Separate research found more than 400 Web sites devoted to subject, including many that glorify self-injury. Some worry that many sites serve as an online subculture that fuels the behavior.

 

Sarah Rodey, 20, a University of Illinois student who started cutting herself at age 16, said some online sites help socially isolated kids feel like they belong. One of her favorites includes graphic photographs that the site warns might be "triggering."

 

"I saw myself in some of those pictures, in the poems. And because I saw myself there, I wanted to connect to it better" by self-injuring, Rodey said.

 

The Web sites, recent books and media coverage are pulling back the curtain on the secretive practice and helping researchers better understand why some as young as grade-schoolers do it.

 

"You're trying to get people to know that you're hurting, and at the same time, it pushes them away" because the behavior is so distressing, said Rodey, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

 

The latest prevalence estimate comes from an analysis of responses from 2,875 randomly selected male and female undergraduates and graduate students at Cornell and Princeton who completed an Internet-based mental health survey.

 

Seventeen percent said they had purposely injured themselves; among those, 70 percent had done so multiple times. The estimate is comparable to previous reports on U.S. adolescents and young adults, but slightly higher than studies of high school students in Australia and the United Kingdom.

 

The study appears in this month's issue of Pediatrics, released last week. Cornell psychologist Janis Whitlock, the study's main author, also led the Web site research, published in April in Developmental Psychology.

 

Among the Ivy League students who harmed themselves, about half said they'd experienced sexual, emotional or physical abuse that researchers think can trigger self-abuse.

 

Repeat self-abusers were more likely than non-injurers to be female and to have had eating disorders or suicidal tendencies, although self-injuring is usually not considered a suicide attempt.

 

Greg Eels, director of counseling and psychological services at Cornell, said the study's findings are not surprising. "We see it frequently and it seems to be an increasing phenomenon."

 

While Eels said the competitive, stressful college environment may be particularly intense at Ivy League schools, he thinks the results reflect a national problem.

 

Dr. Daniel Silverman, a study co-author and Princeton's director of health services, said the study has raised consciousness among his staff, who are now encouraged to routinely ask about self-abuse when faced with students "in acute distress."

 

"Unless we start talking about it and making it more acceptable for people to come forward, it will remain hidden," Silverman said.

 

Some self-injurers have no diagnosable illness but have not learned effective ways to cope with life stresses, said Victoria White Kress, an associate professor at Youngstown State University in Ohio. She consults with high schools and says demand for her services has risen in recent years.

 

Psychologists who work with middle and high schools "are overwhelmed with referrals for these kids," said psychologist Richard Lieberman, who coordinates a suicide prevention program for Los Angeles public schools.

 

He said one school recently reported several fourth-graders with burns on their arms, and another seeking help for "15 hysterical seventh-grade girls in the office and they all have cuts on their arms."

Umm... Tesla is an SI unit. I've never used the gauss, only the tesla. I use the tesla when using Gauss' LAW (net flux through a closed surface equal to zero) but don't use the gauss unit... the tesla is more convenient. Sorry to burst your bubble.

By the way, Tesla himself held an honoroary degree from an Ivy League school.

 

Edit: I should also point out that when Tesla was living there were no women in the ivy league.

Perhaps because the only non-presidents on American currency are Susan B. Anthony, Sacagawea, and Benjamin Franklin. And I would not say that he made America rich... that's quite a bit of an exaggeration. He invented the radio and contributed to physics and electrical engineering.

i came to the conclusion that i don't have blackheads. my body just produces too much oil and it's getting trapped in my pores. that's what i'm seeing when i look very closely in the mirror.

 

 

um, what do you think a blackhead is? essentially, it's just a clogged pore. and what clogs that pore?...oil and dirt and dead skin cells.

 

clogged pore = blackhead. it just seems like on this site, people don't like to call a "clogged pore" a "blackhead" until it's been there for a while and they can actually see that the tip of the clog/plug is black...but that doesnt mean that a few weeks/months earlier that same "clogged pore" was any different without it looking black. it's all the same either way - it doesnt really matter what label anyone gives to it.

 

i also agree with everyone who said that blackheads don't dry out. they can fall out on their own, but more often than not they're pretty stubborn. you just don't just step out of the shower (in which you didn't use any soap or cleanser), towel yourself off, and all of your pores are suddenly clear, and your feet are encircled by a ring of blackheads that just magically fell out of your skin and are collecting on your bathroom floor.

 

btw, after taking a "plain water shower", you must smell like a pile of garbage sitting on top of another pile of garbage.

 

 

 

OK SOME STUBBORN BLACKHEADS MAY TAKE AGES TO COME OUT.

 

BUT SQUEEZING WILL NOT HELP.

 

SQUEEZING DAMAGES SKIN WHERE THE BLACKHEAD RESIDES AND WEAKENS SKIN AROUND THE SAME AREA. THEREFORE YOU HAVE MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE AND BACTERIA WILL ATTACK THE WEAKENED AREAS AGAIN

 

AFTER SIX MONTHS YOU CAN DO A SINGLE EXFOLIATION OR TWO WITH MANDELIC OR SALYCYLIC ACID TO CLEAR YOUR SKIN.

 

You see this method ensures that the blackheads will be gone forever.

 

not doing anything helps heal skin naturally and strengthens the good uninfected skin.

I need to reduce the showers.

 

My skin is getting too dry.

 

I may go back to just one shower a day.

 

Or bodies are not designed for too much showering/water.

go back in my previous post and show me where i said anything about squeezing. i have yet to read one of your posts that shows you have any common sense. you can't even hold an intelligent conversation with anyone around here. you just keep posting random ignorant opinions of yours, flames, and tid bits of facts (which are usually completely irrelevant to the opinions you post in the same post) here and there that you copy & paste from other sources.

 

get off your high horse already. congratulations on showering 3 times per day without soap and letting your blackheads fall out with no treatment. you really must be a wonder of modern science. if you actually talked to people in reality, the way that you talk to people on these forums, you'd get knocked flat on your ass faster than you could google some obscure physics reference for you to spout off to make yourself appear "smarter."

End flame war please, everybody? Let's argue about the topic, not about each other.

 

On that note, Melbournebloke, I do not go to Cornell OR Princeton. I do not cut or burn or otherwise attempt to harm myself, and I have never been sexually or emotionally abused. Please do not try to discredit me by insinuating I am mentally disturbed. There are much better ways to do that... like for example, pointing out mistakes in my posts. If you would delete that article you added to your pevious post I would be most appreciative. It adds nothing to your argument and is highly inflammatory.

 

Now, shall we continue the debate on this method of natural blackhead removal?

Hi there,

 

I tried your method many years ago, (using only water to wash the face). It seemed to be quite effective, and my body seemed to respond well.

 

someway through the method, i got huge lumps under the skin. I think this must of been caused by the sebum, and cell build up. They eventually went but left pitted scars.

 

So while the method is worth trying, i think it ultimately depends on the rate that your skin cells, can slough themselves off, and therefore keep your pores flowing normally.

 

As for myself, I'm not going to try anything thats going to scar me again. Ive had far to much agony from pits and scars in the past.

 

But good luck to you if its working :)

Hi asher,

 

Sorry i have taken so long to reply,

 

I still have little pits and scars, but to be honest most people say they dont notice them. When i can Ill have a chemical peel, or micro dermabrasion to smooth them over as much as possible.

 

If i remove blackheads, i dont seem to scar from it, i seem to get the acne that stays under the skin, and collapses internally, and then leaves a scar.

As a blocked drain pipe causes a sink to overflow ,

 

so a constipated person will have sebum/oil overflow.

 

The key to cure acne is good bowel movements.

 

B5 is just a laxative. It has been used to relieve constipation in the past.

There is no concrete evidence for that claim (other than people's personal experience), though many suspect that digestive and liver problems are closely linked to skin problems.
