**(Always on empty stomach)
My colostrum is 2000mg/tsp, so I am taking about 12 grams/day
Results History: Nothing noticeable yet.
Other Factors: I only use water to cleanse and jojoba to moisturize my skin. I plan to do periodic water fasting over the next month or so while continuing to ingest colostrum. I try to cut out from my diet: sugar, dairy, bread/baked treats, pasta, corn, and potatoes (though so far have been inconsistent). I try to drink a green smoothie for breakfast each day.
Acne Description: Isolated spots can pop up anywhere, though usually not on forehead or nose. You can see pictures in my gallery.
Name: Upon a December
Start Date: Dec. 10, 09
Dosage History and method: 3tsp a day. Symbiotic brand, powder. Empty stomach.
Results History: Too soon
Other Factors: 50mg of zinc, 2,000-4,000 IU Vitamin D (cholecalciferol), natural skin care regimen.

Name: skiz
Start Date: Dec. 15, 09
Dosage History and method: 1.5 tsp twice a day (3 grams total per day). Symbiotic powder. Empty stomach.
Results History: too soon
Other Factors: 1 carlsons fish oil pill a day
Acne Description: Forehead/temples prone to big lingering pustules (temples based on foods, forehead i'm not sure). Jaw line gets cysts/pustules that leave a mark for a long time if certain foods are consumed. Reactive to a bunch of foods, especially certain kinds of fats and oils. Seems like a react worse to milk than cheese for some reason (lactose?). Seems like any oils I eat I can feel on my face within hours.
Name: Pimple Popper MD
Start Date: Dec 11 09
Dosage History and method: Symbiotic Colostrum + capsules, 6 per day (2880 mg)
Results History: Too soon to tell
Other Factors: 1 zinc tablet and 1 fish oil tablet every day
I also started the "no-wash" regimen a few days before I started taking the Colostrum, so my face had a major initial breakout that was probably effected by both the Colostrum "die-off" and discontinuing Benzoyl Peroxide. Also, I've slowly increased the colostrum dosage to the full recommended dosage.
Acne Description: Got acne at age 20, but throughout the four years I've had it, I've been able to keep it in a mild-moderate state with the aid of BP. Last year my back cleared up completely on it's own, but my face has remained "acne-prone". Right now my face is littered with little pimples from going off BP cold-turkey. Have to wait and see what happens, for better or worse.

I added myself to the group as I started taking colostrum.
@Jay, I think it is better if we wait longer to check for results. In a couple of months it will be pretty clear who this worked for.
@Brissy, don't worry, just send it over when you get some time and I will add you to the list.

Venam im almost in colostrum sitting around in clearence delay 
quick update: 2 weeks have passed, experienced increased levels of acne after the first week although it could be contributed to the holiday diet. Haven't gotten any new ones in the last couple of days but I have experienced vastly increased facial redness which is slowly starting to go down. Hopefully the worst is behind me and greener pastures are ahead.
On a side note - almost immediately upon taking the colostrum (1-3 days), my muscles in general started to feel noticeably fuller and that also applied to erections 
. No complaints here.
