I'd like to begin my response by saying that acne is not normal. Cysts are not normal. Second, stress is going to happen, and is inevitable. Being alive in itself imposes stress on the body. Thi...

What exactly are you eating, on a regular basis? In order for anyone to help you, you have to be honest.

Is there any research available on why saw palmetto would cure acne for women who have hormonal acne? I'm just curious, because my goal is to figure out if acne can really be "isolated," rather than ...

Forgot to add I'm Korean and eat kimchi

Just to report, I have done no cleansing. Cleared up my acne which I've had for 17 years at the age of 30. I've managed to keep the scarring to a minimum. My acne was primarily cystic, in combinat...

I believe that acne is not something that is cured by doing things perfectly, but a series of doing things "as perfectly as possible." Try kale and tilapia for a while. I don't have a "top 5." Kal...

The body needs a wide range of things to function properly. By adding a fiber supplement, I think you might be filling a void that your body lacked. I think pills are great on the go, but after swi...

I believe kale has zinc in it. Chewing up a few servings of chopped kale a day did nothing but help my acne.

I know when my face goes into a sort of "remission" from acne, that is, when it advances from one level to another. I believe that Dan's regimen gave me a clarity which was foreign to me. But somet...

Nothing exotic cured my acne, except for eating foods that we learn about as kids. None of them have unpronounceable names either. I really don't think an exotic plant is the key to curing acne. I...

Greetings holistic health forum. I'll begin by stating that I've had acne since I was 13 (30 now), without a single week of being truly clear. Why do I mention the time period of a week? Because t...

I urge you to start it. IGF-1 is definitely the key word here. It may not work for everyone, but my body did not appreciate all the carbohydrates that I was putting into it. Same for the process...

From personal experience, I've been down the supplement route. I personally didn't have much success with it. My acne was far from a vitamin deficiency. It was more like a normal food deficiency. ...

I have to agree with the initial thread. I first had the best clearing on the regimen. The regimen only goes so far. I had the most clearing by changing my diet. I'm clear right now. I still us...

As an aside...you want to know one of the most effective treatments I've discovered for myself? If I stay up all night (and a little more)...to the point where I am so exhausted I could basically pass...

I know that many things have been said about Acne & diet. But it all boils down to two directions : 1. Diet and acne are not related 2. Diet and acne are related If we decide indefinitely, t...

Moderation should at least be considered for all things. I'm glad that views here are constantly being challenged, as that is what the holistic approach appears to do in most cases. Calling someon...

BS Detector - do you really avoid all of those foods? In any case, I've been lurking around this forum for a few years, and you do make very valid points. The holistic forum is full of information....

There is no definitive answer here. Why? People are different. White rice gets a negative rap because it "spikes insulin" and various other things. It will apparently make you fat, turn into suga...

I will have to strongly answer "no."   Eggs are an amazing food and full of nutrients.   I would have to say in pursuit of healing acne, health is what one is after, not necessarily restrict...

Just wanted to update with some thoughts and some helpful advice. Day 120 (give or take)...     I couldn't be happier with my skin. With diligence, decent bed times and actually getting re...

Just thought I'd post some update pics to show progress. I deleted my first pics, but the acne was already on its way to healing in that post.   Wish I had taken some pics of the glory days...

Hey Dysic,   I use AHA+ as an overall moisturizer, and as a spot treatment when I'm not using it.   I feel that AHA+ is good when you use it in waves.   I used it for about 2-3 weeks as...

My assumptions were correct.   After clearing up on the surface, I ramped down the dosage. I know that no amount of BP will heal cysts, so I'm not even dealing with those.   I described in ...

I'm now ramping down the dosage of BP.   Ramping down was an accident caused by my tube of BP failing to squeeze out a consistent stream, so I got lazy and just put on what I could squeeze out on...
