On "derm results"...     Accutane is linked to serious side effects like birth defects, thoughts of suicide, depression and bowel disorders. Roche stopped manufacturing it in 2009, but there...

I actually started taking the Magnesium prior to the D3 for migraines. Now, magnesium is the only thing that puts a dent in them. Then I discovered by accident the Magnesium also worked wonders for my...

Doctors are taught to practice medicine, not nourishment-- meaning they are only taught to diagnose medically established diseases using the respective guidelines of their medically established sympto...

Oh no, honey, I don't think your acne is anywhere near as bad as it would need to be to require Accutane. That is a very, VERY strong drug that can have serious, long-term health hazards.   You...

I just looked up the ingredient list for Clarins and there's a whole bunch of stuff in there that could be causing your breakouts. If the sun is very strong where you live and sunscreen is absolutely ...

Can I ask what kind of sunscreen you use? I had to stop using sunscreen daily (except if I was going to be in direct sunlight for over an hour) because it was clogging my pores too much (even the Ceta...

  The more dense the dairy product, the higher the concentration of casomorphin. So we aren't just figuratively "addicted" to cheese---we are LITERALLY addicted to it. LOL.   I haven'...

      I agree with tea rex. For some people cutting out dairy might actually help and totally clear their acne, for others it might result in less breakouts, but for some people it mi...

Your post and that article made me tear up a little.   Yes. I had (and sometimes still have) similar issues with my complexion and my value. But for many, MANY years, the thoughts about my skin...

In my experience, no. And I was very VERY diligent and mindful with my dairy-free diet. I even went gluten-free and that did nothing to improve my acne. I know the saying 'you are what you eat' holds ...

Awesome diet! Good job on sticking to it and taking control of your health from the ground up. In complete agreement with Rachkellz, as usual   Don't listen to any of that nonsense about sugar ...

The problem isn't milk, per se. The problem is the kind of protein that's present in certain kinds of milk--Casein. There are two kinds of Casein: A1 and A2. The bad kind (that which leads to inflamma...

Yes, I noticed in your OP you said you took special precaution with your hair and whatnot. I only included it because it was listed. In my opinion (and obviously most people who suffer from acne), cle...

It is actually possible to determine the root cause of breakouts depending on where they most frequently occur on the face. Face-mapping acne has its roots in Chinese medicine, but is now frequently u...

I don't think I am hyperandrogenic. I was tested two summers ago and lab results said I had slightly elevated testosterone levels. Doc suggested I try spironolactone with the theory it might be the re...

  I am writing this post because I have been consistently confused over the years that there seems to be so little mention of L-Lysine as an acne treatment both on acne.org and elsewhere on the...

I've been supplementing with L-Lysine for years and have only found it to work wonders for skin integrity. Vitamin C as well (in addition to its multitude of other benefits). I would have a hard time ...

Can I ask where you found this claim? Or perhaps do you have anything to support it? L-Lysine does the opposite of what Arginine (which is a major acne trigger for most) does for your skin.  ...

Of course. Your bad liver is probably related to your acne.   Acne is a sign that something is wrong or missing. For me, I had leaky gut and candida overgrowth. So food sensitivities triggere...

I have been researching dry skin brushing for a long time. Mostly because I was interested in its touted benefits for cellulite. But at Whole Foods the other day, I saw a mini dry skin brush made espe...

Your gut may not be in terrific shape. If that's the case, it would be very hard for you to digest cruciferous vegetables without some intestinal distress. Repeated intestinal distress from ANY food (...

I am also someone that doesn't respond super well to pectin. I'm not a big apple cider drinker except around Thanksgiving or something. But I noticed that when I threw myself into the apple cider vine...

The comedones were caused by the dead skin + sebum clogging your pores. It's a good practice not to let dry skin patches hang around for too long on your face--especially if you're prone to oiliness. ...

Can I ask what your diet is like?

I've been seeing a lot of posts and thread responses lately from people who read about the magic that is the hormone D3 and what it could and should be doing for their skin, but find that either they ...
