Guest guest Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 Hi , I was on 2 treatments of accutane (for acne) and it did NOT help it long term. I don't know if this will help you but I think it is worth looking into. To control my acne (wich has worked for me big time) is this diet... You can read about it in a natural health encyclopedia at Barns and Nobles, there are probably a few out there now that have similar suggestions. Basicaly they are(plus some other things I've found along the way): *Remove all white flour (white bread, white rice) *No more milk(lactose) (I didn't follow this one and was still helped by the diet, but I noticed keeping my milk to a minimum helps my digestion) *No hydrogenated oils (usually found in some peanut butter, and nearly ALL junk foods) *NO REFINED SUGAR! (no table sugar, candy bars, fruity junk food snacks, etc. I got all my sweets from fruit, honey and maple syrup, etc) *Be very gentle with cleansing face (shower always makes me red in the face, so I stoped washing my face in the shower, now I wash it separetly with cool water right after my shower) Use a mild, non irritating soap. I use " natual healthy " soap that I usualy find in the organic/health freak section at the grocer store *Use detergents with NO ADDED COLORS, OR FRAGRANCE. (yes, they do have these, usually in the same ile as the regular ones) *Some form of skilled relaxation (stress is a trigger, there is meditation, visualization, yoga, etc.) Hope you get something out of all this. Good luck! (aka Bill) __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
