Hang in there you will heal yourself. At some point you will be looking back at this part of your life with new eyes. Your just in the midst of it right now that is why it seems a bit dark.

Are you doing vit c daily? Have you tried MSM? Are you having enough BM's per day? Sometimes silica helps w/ skin stuff (like Biosil or ionic silica. Also sometimes putting a couple of teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in water and drinking 3 times per day cleans the blood and helps with acne. Some people on this forum have found that zinc helped them. Infrared saunas (this personally helped me w/ acne)

Also when I first tried Iodine in the form of lugol's, kelp and plain potassium Iodide pills I broke out even worse and I had to stop. I had to take a different route an easier one . So I took Iosol which gave me some detox symptoms ut very managable, then found magnascent- I used these two for several months and did at one point 50 drops of iosol and magnascent and had months of managable detox. Then I recently (a couple of weeks ago) revisited potassium iodide(KI) and I now can handle it w/ out the throat closing and major acne- this is huge for me I thought I would never be able to handle KI.

I see you have done a lot of cleansing. I have as well. All of the cleansing especially after to many Liver Cleanses I really broke out. I later realized I was a depleated person depleating my limited reserves even more and putting major stress on my adrenals. It was to much I lost to many minerals. Your body requires
mineral/nutrients to neutralize toxins. Once again i wasn't able follow the majority. Listening to my body became king not a protocol or what others did. The protocols served as guidance but for what ever reason rarely worked with my body.

Sorry for so many questions and suggestions but like many things in the body Acne can result for many different reasons (adrenal issues, gut stuff, emotional, allergies, lung...) But at least we know some things are certain. Like if your major elimination channels are blocked like the kidneys and colon the body will naturally eliminate through the skin so you don't reabsorb toxins. In chinese medicine the lungs open to the skin.

You also might need to take a break from Iodine perhaps the detox is heavy for you now.

I also experienced Acne for the last nine years and finally my skin for the first time is starting to look healty and have minimal acne. I know it sucks but
once you get to the other side of misery its a gift.

Hang in there.

The other thing to look at with skin issues is what you are putting on your skin. I would go as natural as possible. I love products formulated by Markey at the Garden of Wisdom. She also has a forum and you could ask for specific product advice there. Here is the forum...http://forums.delphiforums.com/gardenofwisdom/messages
Here is the website...http://www.gardenofwisdom.com/home.html I'm not affiliated with Markey, just a happy long-time customer. She usually ships pretty quick and is very nice to work with.

Sounds like you've covered a lot of ground with the flushes and Iodine and I think you are on the right track.

With having taken four courses of abx for the acne, I would be concerned about the condition of your gut and would take a really good probiotic. This is a good, inexpensive, enteric coated one...http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=635&at=0 Don't know if it would help your skin, but definitely overall health.

Hang in there!

Can't help but have concern for your state of mind. I applaud 3 for this especially:

>>Hang in there you will heal yourself. At some point you will be looking back at this part of your life with new eyes. Your just in the midst of it right now that is why it seems a bit dark.

You (we all, whenever *blue* must maintain this thought above. Additionally, YOU must INISIST upon yourself the thought below, w respect to taking your like from this physical universe which gave you. You were meant to be here.

IT IS NOT AN OPTION. Repeat each and every moment you come even close to that point, that place. Moments, in nature, are fleeting - remember. It is not an option, not and option, won't, can't. Never permit these self-indulgent machinations. No capitulation, never. Ever. Persevere - period.

On acne. Please look into Trysten's posts, all of them - and these in particular:

Acne, continued:

Accutane is an Rx known to be incredibly effective. But it's not a drug you want to even experiment with, probably not anyone. I consider it diabolically unsafe for the simple reason alone that it is essentially guaranteed to cause severe birth defects and it's known to alter behavior, thought process, and can incur suicidal thinking - with anyone. So why mention it? Because it's really nothing more than super concentrated vitamin A (So to speak.) But it opens the pores and allows the garbage out. Your frame of mind and your whole body health are responsible for what's going on. You want the negatives out and your skin is not allowing this status for whatever toxins and microbes you've acquired and accumulate to expel from the largest organ in your body.

So grab some of this:

Yet be careful with it. Take in quantity only what appears to produce only a favorable reaction, and no more.

While at it, grab some highly ozonated olive or coconut oil.

Stick with the iodine. Water. Oxygen. Vitamin C. As much as you can attain and absorb. Positive thinking only. Extremely important. Look into frequency theories and therapies. Rife, Tesla, Reich, McCabe, Gawain, Tolle, V, W, T, Also read every post that comes in from Zoebess. She's got it going on in a big way.

And be grateful for the life you were given.
