Acne

[Guest guest]

Diet is necessary but may also need to do some work on

rebuilding proper digestion.

Health food stores will have some anti-yeast formulas

and acidophilus. Usually that will take care of

restablishing proper digestive flora.

This will be a highly individual thing, in my experience. What worked

for me didn't work for O-neg nonsecretor siblings.

Anyhow, yeah, give up the sugar and the dairy as much as you can.

Don't think that you can get away with two little cups of coffee and a

touch of cream and sugar. All three are not good for you.

Lots of folks will tell you to avoid fried foods. Maybe that was a

trigger for them, but not for me. Well, they weren't good for me, but

didn't make my acne noticeably worse.

We already have overactive immune systems, and the acne flareups are

part of it. Only the O's in my large family had acne to any extent.

Be gentle with your skin even if it's oily. That always made me want

to scrub it with steel wool! Yuck. But several plain water rinses are

better than any harsh treatment including astringents. As a male,

you probably don't want to put anything that seems cosmetic on your

face. But you need to protect your skin from particles of pollution,

from a pH imbalance, and from weather exposure. If you can find a

suitable astringent use one once a day. The commercial ones are pore

tightening, but not really drying.

Eat your green leafies and sweet potatoes if you can. You need Vitamin

A. And probably E for healing.

Another method of washing face it to wash first with hot water, this opens

the pores and allows the mild soap to remove the oils etc. then rinse with

water as cold as possible. This will close the pores and keep the dirt etc.

out of the pores. Actually, I never use soap on my face just water and I my

skin is soft and looks years younger than I am.

You know now that I think about it, my husband has always had that problem, and

lately he's been using Suave Aloe and Melon body wash and it's cleared up alot.

So maybe try that. It's cheap. LOL

It could be from sweat -- and I've noticed my husband has a tendency

to sweat a lot on his back and it can clog pores.

You can a shower after your workouts, medication like Oxy or Stridex,

or simply aloe vera gel to help dry the acne up. You could also wear

wicking shirts while working out if you don't already to help draw

the moisture away from your skin.

Perhaps at the end of your challenge you both can go to a spa and get

a treatment -- I know they do facials to help with acne as well as

back treatments.

If it's stubborn, go see your doc. It could be a hormone thing that

needs something a little more than OTC meds.

I've noticed that my back and forehead has been breaking out aswell, which

is not normal for me. I ordered Proactive cause the last thing i want is a

nice body and acne all over it lol. I shower right after my workouts and i

still get it.

So....... you are not the only one in that boat.

Acne flares are common due to the hormonal changes. I have heard of and

seen some fairly severe cases. But it does clear up with the usual

treatment or/and replacing hormones.

This may be a crazy question, but does anyone have trouble with their

face " breaking out " after having the MGB? Just thought I'd ask.

hi Trish~

wow! Am I ever having trouble for the first time in my life!

I'm thinking it's all of the hormones. I even ordered some of the Proactive

solution, and it's working great!

I'm sorry your having trouble, but it's also nice to hear that i'm not the

only one. LOL

I hope it clears up for you.

Hi Trish~

I also started to break out after my MGB. I almost posted about this

myself. I'm wondering if it's due to a lack of proper nutrition. If anyone

knows why this might be happening, please let us know.

Thanks,

[Guest guest]

Yes, I do. It is very bad. I do not know what to do. I have tried

everything, and nothing seems to work.

I have also had a problem with acne, and never really had a problem before in

my life! I am blaming it on the hormonal changes that occur with this

surgery. I do think that at 47 years old I am too old to have zits! LOL. Oh

well,

it hasn't been that bad, just something I noticed.

Hi! I had a bit of an acne problem after surgery too - also think it was

from the hormone change. However, I have begun teaching skincare classes

since and have seen a major improvement in my skin. If anyone is interested

I also broke out with acne, almost like instant ulcers on my face. They would

flair up all of a sudden then go down or disapear completely. I think it is

hormonal. I also wax my upper lip but I still look like I have a mustache. I

think this is hormonal also. I have since gone in the sun. My face has cleared

up beautifully but my upper lip looks darker.

Normally Acne is not a difficult area to help, but it may be caused because of more than one factor. 1. Bacteria (so look at test matrix for this) 2. Toxins in the skin (you can do a detox if you know how, but the easiest place to do this is under Spinal//Timed Therapies//Skin) 3. Hormones, go to Spinal//Sports//Balance Hormones (they ones that are a problem will be in red), if Hormones is involved be sure you also work on the endocrine system, since this is where they are made. 4. Nerves, Check the NLP section and how their emotions are. Do therapy here.

I have found that if I do these area along with the suggested therapy and watch for any organ problems it will clear on it's own. The one exception I have had is a girl who was in a coma from a car accident and the brain was injured. This has been my toughest one.

Yours in Health,

HI Anne,

I read some interesting info the other day how Pantothenic Acid, one of the

B vitamins, is needed to properly metabolize oils that otherwise occur in

excess and plug up the pores causing acne. Do a Google search on Acne and

maybe include Pantothenic and see what you can find.

Good luck..

RE: Acne

This is a fire condition, and it is also

hormonal.

In your diet, whether organic or not,

if you use chili pepper, garlic, lemons,

vinegar, ginger, ketchup, red sauces,

mexican spices, ceyenne, or mustard,

you are creating too much heat in the body.

Infection can be reduced with colloidal

silver water.

Hello DON mALONEY,

The source was " C. " <xeno_tropic@...> of

magnetikon

The LED is an OD-663.

http://www.optodiode.com/pdf/OD663.pdf is the data sheet for the OD-663

http://www.optodiode.com/pages/pro-part.html is one of the web pages of

the manufacturer.

I had some success with other problems also with this LED and I think

that more power and or more LEDs in the array would be nice. The LED I

have is wired in series with a 5 ohm resistor and powered by 6 volts DC

at 400 ma.

Hi ,

It sounds like your email itself holds the pertinent info - skin clearing

when leaves home and issue returning when she returns home. She may

well be dealing with some environmental or pet or food allergy (some food

she eats at home which she does not when she travels). I see

skin issues with kidney, liver, or colon toxicity. From a Chinese

traditional perspective, skin is 3rd kidney, maybe more kidney

support. Also, I've seen persistent acne with hormonal issues (also

liver related). It seems though that you have really just gotten started

on drainage.

From a nutraceutical perspective, you might want to make sure she is

getting good essential fatty acids and sufficient zinc

supplementation. I knew of a little girl a colleague worked with

who was covered with acne head to toe (almost literally) and getting her

on zinc turned it around - probably zinc's influence of competing with

metals, etc.

Hope this helps.

1, 5, 18 as she has struggled with clearing her lungs out from excess

She uses good quality cleaning products / lotions... for her face.

She has noticed that it clears up when she travels and another break out

occurs when she returns to town. She has 2 dogs and cats

which she suspects MAY be a problem but she is careful about touching

them. There is of course dander everywhere but she has always been

around animals. She lives on a farm out in the gorge (no actual

farming occurs though) and gets lots of fresh air. I am

cautious about starting UNDAs for her skin but she is VERY frustrated and

is wanting her skin to clear up, at least a little. Any

thoughts?

Thank you.

I also wonder if stress at home could be an issue here? Maybe she feels less stress when she travels and the acne clears up as a result? Just an additional thought.
