I tried taking resveratrol, chlorella, and turmeric (and maybe some others I don't recall), which are things that used to make wonders for my skin in pre-flossing times, but now they make absolutely n...

Thanks for the replies. I already have a quite god diet and sleep relatively well, so that's not an issue. I have some mint growing in the garden, can I chew it instead of brewing a tea with it? Now ...

I'll try to keep it short, I won't be too verbose about my history, regimen, etc. If need be, I'll write about them later. I have never heard of a relationship between dental hygiene or gum health an...

omega 3s dha epa? and taurine and the minerals perhaps? these are the major differences from other meats. Taurine can be obtained from land animals, and it can be biosythesized, so I don't know if i...

I'd say that's due to the EPA and DHA (Omega 3) content in sea organisms (fish and algae - probably mammals too, but I'm not sure). As far as I know, there isn't any "essential" (EPA and DHA can be co...

B-Complex supplements break me out too. I believe it's better to find which B vitamin you're deficient in and supplement only that. And take methylcobalamin, not the cheap cyanocobalamin most suppleme...

I too had B12 deficiency, and taking shots did help me for a while, but afterwards the acne came back, though not as bad before. Lack of B12 raises Homocysteine levels, which (according to my doctor) ...

I don't think it's possible for vegans to refrain completely from grains. Do you mean to say "omnivores who don't eat grains but eat lots of veggies" or is it really "vegans who don't eat grains"? You...

Another interesting piece of information: Homocysteine, free-radicals, elevated blood sugar, uric acid and oxidized lipoproteins, are the main inducers of chronic inflammation. [Link removed] He...

After trying different routes to treat my acne, I started, by advice of my naturopath, looking into my high homocysteine level as a possible culprit. I took a B12 shot (I'm vegan, so it's most likely ...

Never underestimate the power of the mind. Without reading it properly i can't comment on the methods listed in the given link but i have no doubt that the role that the state of our minds plays with ...

He lists 11 causes for skin disorders, that may be diagnosed by "listening" to what your skin has to say. It's worth reading their explanation in the book to understand them better. The list is as fo...

I started reading Skin Deep, a book that deals with the effect of psychology on skin disorders, after someone here in the forum recommended it and noticed this psychosomatic medicine a topic I've neve...

I could try limiting my fruit intake and having more flaxseed meal. I have one at home and indeed it seems like it doesn't break me out when I eat it, but I'm not sure. And I thought I could be havin...

Well, the air here is certainly not as clean as in Germany, but would the effects show so quickly? And what could be done to counter them? Eat more antioxidants, I suppose? But what bothers me most i...

There are two issues to be dealt with in this post: first, my observation that Omega 3 supplements, even in small quantities, breaks me out. Being vegan, I thought an Omega 3 deficiency could be th...

Could be your gut, as plant protein is not as bio-available. That said, there are many vegan bodybuilders out there, and I myself have no problem building muscles on a vegan diet.

Being vegan may be incompatible with the gut/candida/anti-inflamatory/etc. diets, but a well planned vegan diet is by no means deficient in anything but B12. I say you should absolutely stick to your ...

Besides trying what has already been said I would recommend, especially considering that you have acne around the mouth, changing your tooth paste to one free of Sodim Lauryl Sulfate (SLS).

Building on top of what's been said, my opinion is that acne (and many other health issues) is caused by a combination of: a) A bad diet per se and the screwed up gut flora that arises as a conseque...

There are quite a few companies that produce vegan protein supplements. I take Sunwarrior's Warrior Blend (Hemp, pea and cranberry), but there are others. I think the company Vega also has good protei...

I'd advise you to go to the Nutrition board and see if you fit one of the treatments that have already worked for some; anything else you do will only treat your acne topically, but not its root cause...

Did any of you try RestorX? It seems like an interesting product to heal the intestinal barrier and fix a leaky gut. I couldn't get to try it yet though, since I found no store in Brazil that sells it...
