disappointed after 1 year on the diet

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

I have started your diet 1 year ago and joined the board with a message

regarding the same problem I am experiencing even today, acne.

I have to start by saying that this was the main reason that made me follow the

diet and was confident that I will heal quickly. I had acne for 5 years prior to

starting the diet, but it was more like a supressed acne, cause I was taking

birth control pills which made my skin clear. So there weren't pimples on my

face with the pills. After 5 years I decided that I couldn't be talking the

pills longterm so I stopped taking them, thinking maybe my acne was gone. But it

was not. It came back with a vengeance and there were a couple of horrible

months when I had many many pimples coming up everyday. I was desperate to find

a natural remedy that works and after days, weeks maybe of websearching, I have

found your site on a forum.

On the first three months on the diet it was the worst, like other members have

said. I couldn't look in a mirror, cause almost all my face was red and covered

with disgusting acne.

After those months, I still had acne, but I was thinking that according to

retracing, it would be just 5 months and then acne no more.

It wasn't like that at all. Months were passing and everyday new pimples were

appearing. I was reading your replies to other members on the board that every

skin abnormality is just toxins coming out, so I did not want to ask questions

when I already knew your answer.

But still day after day, pimple after pimle, they just don't seem to stop. I

haven't had on this diet not one day with clear skin. Several pimples appear on

a day and take ages to disappear, by the time they are almost gone others appear

and so on. And they don't heal without damage, I have tens of marks on my face.

And a new pimple can stay on my face even a month without fading, or anything

else, even if I apply coconut oil liberally throughout the day.

I am so depressed and became an antisocial person, because really these days you

barely see someone with pimples evereyday. They go to the derm, take pills or

cream and acne no more. And I have acne everyday. It's a nightmare. People start

asking why don't I use something, it's not normal.

Bee, sorry for the long post, I still have so many things to say.. Please help

me and make me understand why this is happening. I also have to add that I'm on

my twenties so by now I should've been at the middle of my healing journey. Is

it possible that I am so loaded with toxins that pimples have to come out

everyday??

They already have done so much damage to my face. I tried to apply cod liver

oil, vit E, tea tree oil, nothing makes them fade away or heal. Coconut oil

doesn't help at all either. They just stay there on my face and make my life

miserable!!

Depressed and disappointed Ina.
