Does anyone have advice? I've combed through all of alternatavistas posts, I've bought online books, I'm not sure where to turn

Just curious, does anyone out their have experience with a low GI diet, and if so, can you let me know how long it took before you started to see a difference? I've read SO many books on balancing ho...

are there any natural ways to regulate your hormones other than birth control and Spiro? I know that my acne is hormonal, and I've read on the holistic boards that eating a low GI diet really helps. T...

Hmm, if I wanted to try this modified, what would be the key things to cut oat? I really enjoy my oatmeal breakfast... What are some of the ways I could support my body you think?

I appreciate your advice, but do you enjoy your life with such a restricted diet? Like are you stringent with it, or will you sometimes have a dessert then and now?

Hey, Just read the article you linked, it seems like it suggests a low GI diet with avoidance of inflammatory oils and nuts and grains. I'm willing to give it a shot, but it honestly just seems so...

Breakfast is oatmeal and almond milk with some peanut butter.   Lunch is brown rice with soy sauce and vegetables   Dinner is usually Salmon or chicken maybe with whole wheat tortilla an...

I actually haven't tried the regimen,but almost every product Ive used had benzoyl peroxide in it   To everyone who thinks I shouldn't go for accutane, what's your reason? I realize it's a stron...

I've thought about Spiro and birth control, but I really don't want to be on pills for the rest of my life... At least with accutane I'll be done in a few months..

I have tried dietary changes, no effect for me. I only eat whole foods.

For the past eight years I've struggled with acne. Its always been mild to moderate, but its extremely persistent. I've tried everything there is out there, erythromycin, retin a, epiduo, sulfur face ...

For any one reading this, Please DO NOT use the OCM. It made me get inflamed pimples on my lower jaw and cheeks. I have never broken out there in my LIFE! Honestly I would say just keep using your nor...

No thoughts?

Hey all, I recently read about the OCM and for the past week I have been using it with 100% organic cold-pressed grapeseed oil. I have been using it morning and night, taking about a quarter sized amo...

Or if not a critique any suggestions?

Hi Everyone, I've read through all of "the good things" post and also read the post about all of those people who have cleared their acne holistically. I'm just really struggling with this hormonal c...

Thanks for the feedback, i know dairy is a problem for me because I am lactose intolerant and it really hurts my stomach. I'm just hoping the small amounts in packaged food won't affect my stomach or ...

Hi all, I've given up dairy for about a month now and my skin is actually looking really good. Since I stopped using dairy I haven't had one cyst. However, I have also been using epdiuo for the past ...

Do you think it's wiser to just cut out to the dairy before trying any supplements?

I'm just sensing a little bit of desperation here, so realize that even though you already doing a lot or eating a pretty good diet, in the end it's not enough. You still have acne. There isn't going ...

Do not use Estroblock. It blocks estrogen. All the research says that androgens cause acne, estrogen does not. Estrogen can actually help acne and is anti-inflammatory. Typically "deep painful cysts"...

Hey everyone. I'm a 20 year old girl in college. I've tried basically every prescription there is except for accutane. Duac and retin-a micro kept me clear for a while, but then my cystic acne returne...

Hi, my diet is almost entirely whole foods, vegetables and whole grains with the occasional yogurt thrown in. What diet changes could I need to make?

Thanks for the replies everyone, after hearing back from you all I'm feeling more hopeful.   @leelowe I would post pics, but I'm a little too embarrassed to put pics of my broken out face on ...

Hello All, First a little bit about myself. I'm 20 years old, a girl in college, and I have suffered with moderate cystic acne for the past 7 years. It's never been bad enough for a derm to warrant gi...
