excellent thread! Yes i agree, diet is an important aspect to cure or supress acne but sometimes it doesn't really help especially when its hormonal.   Thanks. But I disagree - hormones are d...

update 2 it been 3 days since i stopped gluten ....so far no new acne (besides a small whitehead in my chin ...not noticable)....but still too early to tell i now take 9 mg of zinc and 300 mg of vita...

You're headed in the right direction. I suggest that you supplement some vitamins and minerals, that you can not attain from foods, with the way they are grown in the large scale factory agriculture p...

Thanks for replying. How long does a pound of the whey last you? I buy the 5lb tubs, which last me one month. Everyone is different though, and have different protein per lb requirements. I need mor...

Overfl00d: After reading responses to ATG's post I think my son's acne is definitely hormonal...duh, he's a teen lol. Classic T zone presentation...since dairy can affect hormone levels, the way he br...

@NBury Unfortunately there's no combo pill, except BTT kinda is like a super combo. The extra vitamins/minerals are just what the BTT doesn't have enough of, like zinc 50mg picolinate. Some people fre...

@debrayr I can almost sense from here, it's the yogurt that is breaking out your son! Just my intuition. I would see how he does without any dairy for 3 weeks, with also having him take 40-50mg zinc p...

@debrayr Even all natural organic milk has hormones. Hormones are naturally present in lactating cows, for the baby cow to grow. Yeah, usually it's the food we love and ate all our lives, we have to ...

@DebraYR As for blood type diets, I can't comment on that: haven't done any research on that topic. But you hit the nail on the head: "Everyone is different...some people load up on whole grains and f...

While I hear what you're saying and totally agree that giving your body what it needs is a great plan to help prevent a whole host of diseases, especially diabetes, I also know people who eat crap and...

Hello people, I had moderate-severe acne for 5 years. I am making this post because I want to share the knowledge I attained and maybe hopefully help some people. This is a long post, but I'm sure pe...

Hello my brothers and sisters, I've been a long time user of this website, and want to share my success and knowledge with this community. Quick Story of me: I'm 24, I've had acne since I was 18...

I just started taking physillium husk and triphala to see if they help with my constipation. I took it yesterday and so far, nothing. I feel like I need to go, but then I don't haha. What's your take ...

What i'd like overfl00d to help me understand is why some people can neglect their diet for all of their life and have great skin and never suffer from acne whereas some who do eat well suffer? you se...

Sadly, there is no "magic" cream or potion that will make it heal super faster. The only thing that can heal your body is your body! By giving your body the essential nutrients it needs, your body ca...

Taking B5 alone isn't recommended. B vitamins should always be taken with the full B-Complex; they work as cofactors. B5 is great to take though; 1-2 grams. If you have acne, you better be taking 50 ...

The foods you listed barely have vitamin a, I wouldn't worry about those. As long as you aren't supplementing extra vitamin a.   I would make sure you're going enough of your other vitamins thou...

Eliminate insulin spiking foods. Try cutting grains from your diet completely for 1 month, and see how you feel/look (that means no bread, pasta, etc). Instead eat lots of protein and veggies.   ...

People who have had success with this regimen, I hope will post their success stories here! It gives people hope and inspiration. I get lots of private messages but would like some testimonies be post...

Bro, your acne is mild. I wouldn't even notice your acne, lol.    

^^To the above posters, the food pyramid was recently debunked as pure shit and has been replaced by the food plate. I think the food pyramid was actually invented just to sell crap so it never had ou...

Good luck!

This is my last post in this thread. Understandably this is an emotionally charged subject. I stuck my nose in because I was concerned about the effect a bunch of well meaning but misinformed internet...
