Rosacea is pretty much chronic over-circulation. The blood vessels in the face are always open because various reasons. The point is, the flush with niacin is comparative to a flush from rosacea. Both...

Thanks for the info, If i could +rep you i would. I still don't think it has to do with increased circulation. Think about people with rosacea, they have pustules and papules and their face is always ...

I agree, the fact that the OP in the adult forum used a no-flush stumped me. But I still think it doesn't have much to do with cholesterol; perhaps he just had a bad vitamin-B3 deficiency instead. I d...

in theory you want the flush because it opens your blood vessels and releases toxins in such a way that the flush free does not, Im considering starting 250mg niacin today, anyone think this is a bad ...

I wanted to mention that I got a test result back today for testosterone - my FREE testosterone clocks in at 5.2 pg/ml. My understanding is that the optimal range for women is 1.4 to 2.2 pg/ml. So, I ...

Hey, dancedd. You can ask your doctor to run those tests for you, but if your doctors are anything like mine, they'll be really reluctant to do it unless you're having serious problems (IMO, acne IS ...

Is that a mail order test? And hmmn. I often feel kind of hypoglycemic (weak, shaky, nauseous) between breakfast and lunch. And I eat a second breakfast. I wonder if that means anything. Well, I...

Thanks so much for posting that, Nooshling! It gave me some insight. Aside from the acne, I have really horrible anxiety and hypoglycemia, I'm extremely irritable and the smallest annoyances make me s...

Just a quick update -   I finished week 2 of bio-identical estrogen (I start the bio-identical progesterone today,) and I still can't see any results at all. How discouraging!

Hey Polska -   I'm not sure if people who don't have a progesterone deficiency should take progesterone cream - it might make your acne worse if you already have a good supply of it! From the inf...

Hello again! I've just finished up my first week of micronized oral estrogen. I was expecting a somewhat dramatic difference (silly, i know...) but my skin is exactly the same. Lots of non-inflamed bu...

Leah, the estrogen cream was giving me the symptoms which had initially bothered me -- the nausea, panic attacks, acne, etc, were returning, because after my estrogen levels were brought up with the t...

Thanks for your support I appreciate it!   One thing I meant to ask - did your doctor make you take the estrogen/progesterone according to your cycle as well? Mine is making me take them at diff...

I vow to keep this thread alive!!   Murmur, I followed up on what you suggested about the prescription bio-identicals, and talked to my gynecologist about it. She was WAY more agreeable about thi...

WOW Murmur, are you telepathic or something?!   Thank you for the advice...I'm definitely in the market for a doctor who will prescribe me micronized progesterone and an estrogen cream. My docto...

Hey alternativista! Yes, I saw you post about adrenals and hormones somewhere else...they did test it (a DHEA-S lab) and everything came back "normal," although that doesn't necessarily mean anything....

Bump... I just got back from the doctor today. I got my blood test results, and guess what - my progesterone and estrogen levels are both EXTREMELY low. my ob/gyn actually said that right now i have ...

Read the link below for more info on why you should squat. Luckily for me I only weigh 155lbs so I just squat on my toilet seat and go from there. Let me tell you, ever since I implemented this techni...

is this true that fruits could cause me my acne if its related to candida?? Candida feeds on the sugars found in fruit. It won't directly give you acne, but it will keep alive the candida which may ...

Polyunsaturated fats found in vegetable oils and fried foods is the type of fat you should avoid, not saturated fats.

I went first, I'll admit it   I'm SO GLAD I FOUND THIS POST. It's so much easier to squat, there's no straining and your anal muscles don't feel so tight. I felt stupid at first but it actually ...

bump!

apparently sitting on the toilet while having your feet elevated on a stool is also counterproductive). Why is that counterproductive?

im just curious, what types of diets have you tried and for how long??
