Re: teen acne...help

My 14yo dd was upset when I dropped the BioNutrition Micro Algae. She

felt it really helped with the acne, and though other symptoms didn't

reappear, the acne did get worse without it. We got rid of all her

other symptoms except the acne, though, and I couldn't see paying the

price just to keep her acne at bay. I figure it will go when we are

closer to done chelation. I worry more about the discomfort

physically. But, I can give a high recommendation for the algae for

acne. It is metal free and very well grown and processed. We have been

very pleased with it. We originally used it to replace her

mito-cocktail supps after a few months of chelation. It worked well for

that too.

You can get more info about it here http://www.bioage.com We started

with the red bottle formulation, then dropped to the green. Now, we

don't do it anymore. It is pricey, but it did work. Part of the reason

I won't use it just to control acne when we have bigger fish to fry.

Diet should work, without anything else. And if Bonne Bell still made 1006,

I'd recommend that as just great for the skin. Alcohol blended with aloe

gel might work.

You're right about dairy; it's a big cause of acne. What my stepkids found

(because they only ate well for a long period in the summer with us) was that

no white bread, cake, cookies, etc. -- nothing with refined sugar -- was the

key. The only dairy they had was raw milk, although they mostly ate a lot

of fruit and nuts, and everyone's complexions cleared up beautifully.

My bio-kids had gorgeous complexions. My daughter looks half her actual age.

What we eat does count, a lot.

Also anger seems to have something to do with breakouts (either repressed or

expressed).

Hope this helps.
