my problem is they just don't taste good to me. i know they help acne for the most part, but the truth is no smoothie is actually worth making to me. i'd rather just drink plain and boring water than ...

Oh, I've seen those "will it blend" videos before, and they crack me up!!!!!!!!! Freaking hilarious!!!! hahahahaha 😆 Whoever came up with that idea is awesome. haahah I know a lot of people lo...

Whatever price range you're in, I'd say look for whatever has the highest horsepower/watts. The faster the blades spin, the better. Later down the road, I highly recommend a Vita-Mix! I love mine!!...

I've had the best experience with probiotics that have a combination of strains. A person may be deficient in more than just acidophilus. Its seems counterintuitive to supplement with just one single ...

Personally, any product with bifidum strains gives me problems. Same here. Also, FOS (a common ingredient in probiotics) gives me acne. The SCD covers both of those things . For some reason, mos...

Is it possible that probiotics can make acne worse? I'd like to try taking a good probiotic, as I took an antibiotic for 1 year as a child, another antibiotic for a week three months ago and a stro...

Fat is a GI irritant, so if you're consuming lots of it, you could conceivably be making your digestion worse. Red meat, although pretty hypoallergenic, is also a GI irritant. Shaving woes' advice ab...

Wow, reading the OP's first post was like a massive deja vu.   PeanutButterHoneySandwich; for your health's sake please look into the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.   I was on high protein, h...

pennyjai1, you might also want to try cutting out spinach for a while too and see if that helps at all. It's not widely known, but spinach allergy is relatively common; I haven't tested it lately but ...

Been doing smoothies for 2 weeks and my face is breaking out alot compare to the last few months. My throat and lips are always dry, anyone experienced this before? What should I do? What exactly ha...

I've been experimenting lately a bit with my blender and came up with somewhat of a dessert pudding that's amazing:   1 ripe banana 1 ripe mango (be sure to squeeze as much of the juice out of th...

If you're interested in taste; a simple smoothie of ripe bananas (with brown spots on them) + leafy greens is great. That's usually what I include as "base ingredients" and then add from there if I fe...

I notice that my acne gets a lot worse when I increase my saturated fat intake. Does anyone know why this is? I was surfing the internet and came upon this article: It says that saturated fat incr...

Flax seed is high in phyto-estrogens. This can help or hurt depending on your particular imbalance. Agreed. I've been taking 2 tbsp of Udo's Oil (largely flax oil) every day and it's helped me, but ...

did anyone using borage oil break out a bit initially? I'm experiencing some breakouts and don't know if I should continue. I'm taking 5000 mg borage (1000 gla). Thanks.   5000mg is pretty exces...

Hi! I was just curious to see if anyone here has ever tried a Naturopath/Holistic doctor and if you've ever actually had success with them. I live in D.C. and there seem to be alot of praised holistic...

I'm a nose-breather. I've heard that it's much better to breathe through your nose than through your mouth--something about nitric oxide production. Your nostril hairs also act as natural filters ...

So in yet another attempt to rid my face of acne, I started the Candida Diet around two months ago and started supplementing myself with some vitamins and minerals.   I have completely cut all da...

Found a good article: Leads me to a few questions though: 1- How many times a day would you take a digestive enzyme? 2- Its better to take them in between meals so they can go straight to the blo...

Everyone's different; for me and a few others I know, nuts & peanuts make skin oilier and for me they also give little whiteheads in various areas of my face; nothing major but not worth it to con...

Wow, I have enormous respect for you. I don't get cystic acne but I've got little red bumps all over where I shave and it's extremely frustrating to have had these for approx. 3 years now as well as m...
