I'm just like you, Vit. D is not noticeably helpful but a few hours of sun a day really reduces my overall acne.   "Human skin naturally produces fumaric acid when exposed to sunlight." quote fr...

Of course they won't work. You're just wasting money on them. I have to respectfully disagree. I am able to reduce my acne by 95% with supplements along with some diet tweaks, consistent exercise, a...

Ok there are a few routes your can take, together or seperatley. You can try cutting out all high glycemic food sources so the bread & grain, which can be replaced with nutrient dense carb source...

Try looking into Soil Based Probiotics or Native Bacteria. I've been told that the lacto- bacteria that we use in Probiotics and yogurt help us digest dairy products but thats where the list ends. Som...

What does your diet look like? I find that usually Omega 3's from Fish Oil only help when you reduce your dietary intake of Omega 6's. Foods high in Omega 6's (or Linoleic Acid) are baked goods, mayon...

wow your writing is horrendous. Treating your acne is never as simple as taking 2 or 3 supplements and expecting to be 100% clear. I cannot stress enough how much diet changes and consistent exercise...

I won't detail my full acne history here and save that for another thread. I started using myo-Inositol from a health food store, and my skin cleared quickly and dramatically. It cleared on my back, ...

Beta carotene, UV exposure and Retinoic Acid   Trying to follow up on a theory by autonomousone acne may be a genetic defect in vitamin a metabolism particularly with the pathway that creates ...

chicken fed soy based feed have higher tissue concentrations of arachidonic acid (and their eggs too), much higher in fact. Arachidonic Acid is a type of Omega-6 that is more inflammatory than Linolei...

Hi, That's unfortunate How about b5 and l-carnitine, do you think it does still help you? Good luck anyway! I completely forgot about b5. There are so many factors that I have since pinpointed so i...

I just wanted to write out my new theory here in case anyone is interested. This is totally half baked though. A little pretext first: I found that I became clearer when supplementing with an animal s...

Hi just wanted to update since it has been so long. I still struggle with acne daily. While eliminating soy and flax has helped, I am not even close to clear. Fiber no longer affects my acne at all. I...

Just wanted to update quickly by saying that eliminating all PUFA's except for those in wild salmon eaten once every 2 days, and eating an autoimmmune paleo diet did not get me clear, or as clear as I...

Yea it is most likely the high oil content which is probably soybean oil, sunflower, safflower, corn, or canola oil. All of these and most other "vegetable" oils are high inflammatory. I would say tha...

If you are hyperthyroid because of Grave's disease, however, you can feel hypothyroid and actually be hyperthyroid. Just thought I'd throw that info out there. Do you think it is dangerous then, fo...

What I would point out is that chicken is usually fed soy and grain formulas rather than eating the grass/bugs that it would naturally eat in the wild. And because soy/grain are high in bad fats, the ...

I experience break outs when I eat soy so I avoid most soy along with gluten and dairy. When I do eat soy, I eat fermented soy - like miso or tempeh. Non-fermented soy (soybeans, tofu, soy-based prote...

I just wanted to update anyone interested in holistic methods for acne what I have been doing recently. I learned about Arachidonic Acid (AA) which is highly inflammatory and what Omega 6 is converted...

I also would like to mention that I will be consuming a can of wild alaskan salmon everyday. I read recently that wild salmon is low in arachidonic acid, whereas farmed salmon is extremely high in it....

yea, i've noticed this when i use hemp oil topically. I don't use it internally though. I figure if I limit my PUFAS, than maybe my system will work better overall and correct the local deficiency of ...

Hi, I've been around acne.org for quite some time now and still haven't gotten clear. But I have picked up alot of information about diet, hormones, skin care and more. The first culprit I found for m...

Hi, just wanted to update anyone that follows this thread. I can't say for sure it was broccoli that broke me out anymore. The reason is because there are so many dietary factors in acne (PUFA intake,...
