To your question "So all I need to do is to cut out sugar?"... It's never as easy as it sounds. Sugar is an important component of it but it's not everything. One problem with people trying to...

I'm not surprised you're drinking mixed drinks. That's my point: pay attention to the carbohydrate contents. If you're drinking coke, juices, etc. that's a problem.

It's unlikely the alcohol itself is doing it. But beer does have carbohydrates and that may be the real issue. What are you drinking and how much?

I don't believe acne is "intolerance" to foods. There's something else going on. But 12 hours is more than enough for acne to form. I've found that acne can actually come on very quickly - in a matter...

You're right in that diet can control acne - to an extent. But, I will tell you that having fought this battle for over 12 years now and devoted more brain power than I'd like to admit, I've f...

There are a few threads about niacin and acne. Here's what I think: It has to do with the pentose phosphate pathway. Niacin helps to generate NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). NADP...

I don't necessarily have it severe, but these are my thoughts: I HATE acne with a RAGING, VIOLENT PASSION. If there's some lame ass bacteria that secretes a toxin that disfigures your face that ...

This topic has been beaten to fuckin' death... but I don't believe acne is genetic, atleast not in the way we usually think of it. That we're inborn with some elusive "acne gene". I call bullshit. But...

...a lot the results that American Gut have returned have been fishy--sort of like when it comes to testing for food sensitivity, where results differ wildly from lab to lab... I don't doubt it. The p...

I'm aware of the various projects out there studying the microflora. Maybe I've already posted this, but I was going to suggest that a thread be created on the topic of microbiota sequencing where som...

This isn't a species that is talked about much on the forums. S. Boulardii is a transient yeast that is not a normal constituent of the microbiota. It gets flushed out within days of discontin...

Went through some unregulated channels and did some things that are probably best left unsaid. [edit: on second thought, it's probably not good to give some people ideas. Very risky thing to do.]

...That's it, that's all I need to do to become an Alpha male and start fucking these dumb shallow cock sucking whores like the boss I know I am. Sounds pretty strait forward right?... LOL. Ni...

Definitely. I don't believe doctors are bad people. They're just the smaller fish in a larger system, really. I know the guy at acneeinstein wrote some stuff a long time ago about studies conducted in...

I see. Yeah I mean diet is probably the most effective management tool as you say. That part we definitely agree on. What are some of the main points of it though? I mean, I checked it out briefly on...

Haha yeah I wasn't logged in and shit got jacked up so I just kept editing. Sounds like a misunderstanding based on my choice of words. Anyways, back to the book.

In no way was I attacking the book. Those first few sentences had more to do with doctors having little training in the area of nutrition and how more often they seem to simply offer prescriptions rat...

The book seems to be right in the sense that nutrition for the most part is almost disregarded as a factor in health. Everybody seems to think problems are all genetic. And they certainly can be. But ...

Would have been nice if that site were around 10 years ago. I had to learn most of that on my own through endless trial and error. The article about FODMAPs is probably the most relevant. For those wh...

I'm not going on Accutane. One of the wiser comments I've seen in a while.

I'm not going on Accutane. One of the wiser comments I've seen in a while.

Small clip about accutane.

There's some evidence that antibiotics for acne don't really work through antimicrobial mechanisms. As we know, ROS play a key role in acne and many other diseases including cancer. It's possible that...

It's complicated, but I've come across some real good data over the past several years. Basically, it points to the immune system. There are some very interesting aspects of this, and it's tied in wit...

Sigh.
