I've got a less expensive way to do it.

Eat mostly meat and fat and little bit of a lot of other things. Nothing

commercially processed.

People look at my hubby and say, " He sure doesn't look THAT old! " (he's 68)

WOW! Women won't have to shave that mustache any more. They can just let it

grow.

I heard on radio 4 today that Nestle have teamed up with L'Oreal to make a

range of " nutritional " supplements to directly affect " beauty " . These are

called cosmeceuticals.

This fills in that big niche in the market that I know you've all been

concerned over, somewhere between your Anti-Wrinkle Cream with Active

MicroHippoZomes and your and your MultiVitamin with Added Fibre.

Beauty foods and drinks are currently doing well in Japan and set to hit

Europe soon. Some are specific, eg to strengthen your nails, and some confer

" multiple benefits " , eg skin, hair and nails.

Ingredients include collagen, ceramide and elastin.

I can't wait. Not only will a pill make me healthy, but beautiful too.

yours in anticipation,

Helen

ps I noticed Guerlain have developed " Happylogy " to release endorphins

within the skin. Also, in-cosmetics.com says " Latest research indicates

that cosmetic companies are looking at how to introduce steroids and

hormones into lip balms which used over time could help to improve body

mass, nail and hair growth. "

This is what I don't get - I'm only 30, but I have the

skin of someone quite a bit older. My facial skin is

dry, particularly my forehead (which is also greasey),

my hands chap easily so they always have small cuts on

them, my lips are permanently chapped, dry and

peeling. My shins flake, as do my forearms. So, what

am I doing wrong? I eat a pretty high fat diet, lots

of stocks, fermented veg, kombucha.

Luck of the draw, perhaps?

People come in so many shapes, sizes and colors it's hard to tell what

causes a lot of things.

I've always had rather oily skin and scalp and dry hair. Figure that one

out.

Do you eat many eggs?

My thighs were lumpy and ugly for years. Then our son came home for a year

while he got his act together and we pigged out on eggs for the better part

of a year. That was three years ago. About a year ago I was standing in

front of the mirror after my shower and I noticed that my legs looked

different. There were no lumps. I can run my hand down my thighs with lots

of pressure and there's not a lump to be felt.

The only thing I can figure is that the eggs made the difference.

Also, before the egg binge my face was beginning to show quite a few

wrinkles. Most are gone now. But many of the people I know who are younger

than I look like prunes. Especially the ones who eat the " healthy " diet and

rant at me for eating so much killer fat and cholesterol.

Jo, this sounds hormonal..... do you have any known hormone imbalances?

[Guest guest]

Hi Jo,

How long have you been eating this healthy way? It can take a few

years to see as many improvements as you are hoping to see. At least

this has been true for me. I have had rosacea breakouts for over 4

years and have only recently seen a marked improvement. It was hard

for me to be patient.

Hang in there!

Liver flushing radically changed my skin from dry to soft and smooth. Maybe

you're not digesting fats. Do your stools float? Mine always did until after a

few liver flushes. Now they sink indicating that my body knows how to use fats

now. Since my teens I have had to use lip balm, now I never even think about

it.

What if some days sink and some days float?

also what if it floats but is pointing down where most is sunk?

Is a sinking poop really a sign of digestion problems with fat?

And does the orientation matter? If mine always point north, does that

mean I'm getting too much iron?

2 a day, have done for several years. At the moment

though I am mainly eating just the yolks, as I am

eating them raw.

As for lumpy thighs, well my cellulite started

clearing up 4 years when I went low carb, got even

better when I came off the pill, (although at least I

could h ide my thighs, I can't hide my facial acne),

and now I don't think I have any at all since eating

NT or dairy-free for the last year or so.

Hi Christie

I didn't realise this could be hormonal. Do you have

any further information?

I have some quite considerable hormonal problems, but

no-one can tell me exactly what they are! I have

endometriosis, but my oestrogen levels, testosterone

levels etc have all been tested normal. However, I

just KNOW there is something not right.

*sigh* yet another reason to do the liver flush! I

guess I'll just hav to bite the bullet and go for

it.... I'm not good at coping with hunger, which I

imagine is what I'll have to do on the liver flush as

it's low fat.

No, the opposite is true. Floating chalky stools indicate fat malabsorption.

Chris

[Guest guest]

My alternative doctor told my I would have to see an oily slick on

the water before he would believe I had a problem with digesting fats

(gall bladder problem to be exact) I use psyllium which can sometimes

make stools float.

Get a stool analysis to check your digestion of foods. IMO stool

analysis is often overlooked and can be a big help in diagnosing

digestive difficulties more precisely.
