Hi all,   Just wanted to note that I recently moved into a new office space with about 200 degrees of 8 feet high windows. My skin has been remarkably clear since I began working from this well-...

After 7 of the clearest topical-free days I've had in years (thanks to databased's vitamin regimen), I began experimenting with adding gluten to my diet. Over the past 3 days, I ate two boxes of whea...

$160 million deal centered on the development of a boron-based acne product.   Anacor Pharmaceuticals Inc. said Thursday it will receive a $7 million upfront payment and future milestones of up t...

I wonder if you've ever attributed your acne to excess iodine? I have toyed around with cutting iodine out of my diet and never noticed anything. In fact, the clearest I have been lately has been...

... I started taking boron, vit B, and 25 mgs of zinc with each meal (4-5 times per day), in addition to the Calcium Blend multivitamin once/day. Interesting. :think: Is that a B-50 with every mea...

Ignore my last post. I will take boron before each meal, not once per day. Is there any regular exercise in your day? I keep thinking about the difference in how wheat affects you, and one thought...

<blockquote>Would still like to see what happens if you take a separate boron pill before each meal</blockquote>   Ignore my last post. I will take boron before each meal, not once p...

OK, I have purchased multi-chelated boron (3mg) by Solgar as well as alpha lipoic acid. I'll begin taking both once/day.

There is nothing like waking up with a new cyst, as I did today, to provide proper motivation to follow all of the various rules of acne prevention.   Vitamin B sounds important. Can you provide...

As suspected, the primary culprit in my last breakout was the alcohol consumption / lack of sleep. I haven't had alcohol nor a day with < 8 hours of sleep in 8 days, and in that time I have gone f...

I have been taking boron for a week. I currently have 4-5 small cysts on my face as well as a couple of whiteheads. However, on Friday night I consumed a large amount of wine and only slept for 5 ho...

I don't have a problem taking 15-20 pills per day. But taking 5/day sure is easier!   On a side note, between the 15 pills/day, sleeping in room darkened by aluminum foil, sitting on my porch al...

OK, I am cutting back to:   2 X Vitamin B-50 3 X Super Nutrition Calcium Blend 1 X 5,000 IU Vitamin D   Plus 50 mg of zinc per day. I'm willing to take the risk.   I am slightly concer...

I should have mentioned that I *almost* always sleep 8.5 - 9.5 hours per night. The only time I don't is when I consume alcohol (which happens perhaps once/month) or a rare bout of insomnia. If I ge...

I purchased the Super Nutrition Calcium Blend with boron. It arrived today and I promptly took two tablets. I'll keep you posted on the results.   As much as I like your system and find it to...

Hey Databased,   Have you ever seen this: - they claim to measure brainwaves to determine quality of sleep.  

Not strictly true, it sickens me that SO MANY people I know with unhealthy lifestyles - smoking, drinking, partying to early hours, eating crap, have enviable skin. No acne, not lines or wrinkes or da...

Databased:   Did you give up tomatoes as part of your no-fructose diet? Also, can you stay acne free while eating something such as an entire box of wheat thins every day?

Hi Databased,   I have a question about UVA. My current understanding is that standing in the sun, my body is blasted with a massive dose of UVA. On the other hand, sitting in the shade but loo...

The pills I am using are from a prior regimen authored by Databased. I don't think Databased ever declared the current regimen superior to prior regimens, which also left him acne free, simply that t...

I am completely clear, thanks to this zinc-less acne regimen. I might start a personal log detailing my attempt at following the regimen created by Databased, but for now I am only going to post a b...

Hi Databased,   Thanks for everything you have written in this thread. I'm fairly certain that I owe you a debt of gratitude.   Quick question: Do you think my home office environment (pict...
