Re: Under the skin
i hear you, brotha! for the last few years, these "bumps" have gotten progressively worse. they are like little timebombs - they can lie dormant for weeks, months even, before they become a big, inflamed
Acne lesion. i've tried
Antibiotics , accutane (years ago), benzoyl peroxide, and even blue light therapy and laser therapy, (both "burned" them off, but they came right back), and all conventional routes like pro-activ solution. no dice.
i can't tell you how frustrating this has been for the last year or so; i've gone vegetarian, and vegan, but the soy and grains, legumes seemed to make it so much worse. i'm now on the paleo diet (lean meat, fruits, veggies, nuts, good fats/oils) and it seems to have helped somewhat (they have a great
Acne e-book available at
http://www.thepaleodiet.com).
i have supplementing w/ a lot of premium powdered greens, grass juices mostly, but they advised that since it is grain-based, to take it easy on wheatgrasses et al. has there been any examples of people w/ WORSE
Acne after really hitting the greens really hard???! B/c that seems to be the case w/ me :(
i have done about 15+ colonics, 3 months worth of the colonix
parasite cleansing program, a couple of months on
Clarkia and humaworm, zapped for parasites, candida cleansed, and have done about 15+
Liver Flushes as well (i did a 3-wk round of gold coin grass to break up the stones, and this last flush was the motherlode! we'll see if it helps at all...). these bumps STILL persist! my frustration mounts. i'll admit i'm prone to sneaking some
Sugar at times, but always from unrefined, natural sources (agave nectar, etc) and mostly vegan/vegetarian desserts. i guess this is the problem, as i now have noticed a lot of blackheads on my skin where there never were - there is a little waxy "bulb" always stuck in my pore that i've never seen before. i do everything right, i believe: oil pulling every morning; enzymes w/ meals to help digestion; skin brushing; steaming; acv/bentonite clay masks; demodex solutions zinc/sulfur ointment; aloe vera gel moisturizer, etc etc. i still have these bumps, and itchy scalp sometimes that comes out of nowhere!
if anyone could give any additional advice here, i'd GREATLY appreciate it...
i'd be happy to detail my year long journey in cleansing/detoxing, if you really want to hear it...
