I'd say there's two sides to it. Yes, you can live your life with acne. But to say that it's purely a cosmetic thing isn't true. Most people have a natural care for their appearance. People judge you ...

Congratulations Br93! It's an amazing, almost unreal feeling to look back at before pictures after your skin has cleared. It takes time to see results, but it's worth the persistence and dedication! I...

Oh don't be fooled--they say fruit is bad too. And vegetables. Fruit contains too much sugar. Vegetables contain anti-nutrients. It can get to a point where there literally is NOTHING at all left to e...

When I used ACV a number of people told me I smelt of vinegar, and I was diluting it. There's a good chance that you may smell like onion but it's probably best to ask someone who can actually smell y...

gluten free of course. As I type this I am listening to the sounds of my stomach gurgling and churning. It's like this every single night regardless of what i eat. I just dont know what methods to ...

I already mentioned this piece in this post, particularly and how he doesn't have any sources for celiac and gut flora (notice his source is only for lactose intolerance). I'd like to see studies in h...

I see a lot of anecdotal I here. I'm glad it worked for you, but you can't assume what worked for you will work for others.

Food intolerance I feel the need to repost this information from Dr. Art Ayers (PhD in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology. Worked at numerous institutions, including assistant professor in ...

Whew, late reply! Happy new year everyone Have you looked into linoleic acid? It's an important component of sebum in the function of mammalian skin and mammals with skin problems have been foun...

Again, I do think there is potentially something to aspects of the gut diet, based on the evidence that I've been looking at (no thanks to you linking the same thing over and over). However, because t...

It seems that most people are getting great results with diet, but.... For those not seeing results with the diet: I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HAVE B...

Deja, It takes real courage to share the problems you're facing. It is a balancing act that not many people understanding; maintaining dietary restrictions that have real health implications, whi...

Agnus castus has greatly helped my mood swings but hasn't done much for my acne. I have problems with excessive testosterone.   What kind of tests did you get done for this? It's been a while s...

I wouldn't say you would need to go to the ER, but it definitely looks like some nodular acne. Not conglobata though, in my unprofessional opinion. You could visit a derm for some treatment options th...

That's amazing, thank you so much Michelle! Truly grateful for the time you took to compile that. I looked at everything, and plan to dig really deep into the research to figure out the ifs and hows o...

My whole point is that it doesn't matter how long you have been on the diet if you still haven't adjusted to several sources of probiotics and prebiotics and/or still have gastrointestinal problems or...

Health History I thought I'd post a little bit about my health background, as it might give some ideas of what to research further. To clarify, most of these things are not issues anymore--unless I ...

The reason there are not 'credible' sources about nutrition as treatment for ANYTHING because first off, almost all medical research done is in someway funded by the government; the government(FDA, US...

How often do you visit PubMed and Google Scholar? You can dig up a lot of stuff there, especially free texts. If you want, I can post studies about IBS/GERD, psoriasis and diet here. I don't know if ...

I'm saying that it isn't guaranteed that results in rats translate into human results, to keep my reply short. Clearly dairy can be problematic for people, but there are also acne prone people here wh...

Rats don't usually eat dairy or isolated proteins in their natural environment, so 20% is extremely high. Also, dairy protein /=/ all animal proteins. Seeing as you're ignoring other points made by my...

Just chiming in here: The burden of proof falls to the person making the claim, not the person they are trying to convince. So yes, you should have some sources if you're trying to convince someone ...

Well first off, The China Study rats were only given a diet of 20% casein which is the protein in milk. Secondly, The China Study also has clinical research about the people in those counties, what th...
