MoreThis is a reply to # 1,165,484Uh, who is Chris Gibson?
The cause of Acne is still a mystery, although we all have our theories (read some of the board to get an idea of this!) However, my theory is testosterone, which is especially fluctuating during adolescence. The thing that works best for me is jan marini's transformation serum, as it helps balance testosterone. None of the pills (I hope you're not taking Antibiotics as they make Acne worse in the long run by causing candida) nor drying, antibacterial lotions helped me either; I'm beginning to think they're just a medical scam!
I also take saw palmetto to balance testo, but marini's serum has been a godsend - you can buy it on the internet. Good luck. - Re: helpppp Annie5

This is a reply to # 1,165,484All of us understand how annoying it is to have all these dirty bumps on the most important and beautiful part of you that is your face. No matter which topical creams and oral medicines you try most of the time they do not work. The only way today is Isotretinoin, but it is quite expansive and may have serious side effects. Why do not you try simple kitchen cabinet remedies for your acne. You can get them easily on internet. - Re: helpppp #70942

This is a reply to # 1,165,484hey there,
At your age Acne is generally caused by imbalanced hormones. This is only a predisposition and it can be alleviated. As most know Acne is caused by blocked pores creating a nice environment for bacteria; but, how do they get blocked in the first place?? Well, people with Acne usually have a low amount of retinoids in their system, these retinoids are what times your body's cells to die; if your skin cells aren't dying in the time they should they get built up in the pore. Then of course, your body sends out white blood cells to attack the bacteria that got stuck in there and gives us the pimple as we know it. So why do people with acne have low retinoids?? This can be caused by stress, toxins built up in our liver (as your liver produces a lot of your body's hormones) and of course the food we eat. When we have do much testosterone in our system other hormones start to get imbalanced; and, through a series of events this leads to a depletion of retinoids. However, the opposite goes for testosterone. When we eat food that increases insulin in our body this acually (through a series of events) acually increases the testosterone in our body. When I was your age I used to hate reading books; but, that was me. I strongly recommend you buy 'the dietary cure for acne' on this website
http://www.thepaleodiet.com
It comes in an E-book, paperback and DVD. There is a lot of actual scientific evidence in this book which is like none of the other's on the internet. I dont agree 100% with the book but you will definitely see results through using it. In a nut shell, it tells you to avoid eating grains, dairy, legumes and all processed foods. As much fruit, meat and vegies as you want. I tried this for the longest time myself, I found there were some flaws however. It does not address metabolic typing which I strongly recommend. If you go do Dr mercola's website
http://www.mercola.com
you will find a host of information on that subject as well as acne and pretty much everything else. If you can, it would be worth you trying to go to an alternative practioner where they do live blood testing, someone who can do biofeedback as well can really help as this will determine any food intolerances you might have. This is probably a bit overwhelming but it will all help put a piece of the puzzle together to find out whats causing your acne. I acually had systemic candida causing my acne which is very common, most people dont even know they have it. A blood test will be able to check for this and much more (only usually through alternative practioners though like a naturopath). Try an get plenty of sweaty exercise as this will help increase insulin resistance as well as flush your body from toxins. Supplementing with Krill oil or Fish oil (omega 3's) can have an incredible impact on your skin and will generally reduce flare ups. I hope this helps. Good luck, and believe me when I say that you will definitely get through this. - Re: helpppp trysten3000

This is a reply to # 1,166,150You make a good point actually. I remember when I was your age, the idea of just eating what I am now would seem depressing; however, you will soon find that your body actually starts to crave these foods more and more and eventually that is all you will want to eat for the majority of the time. There seems to be a consensus around the word 'diet' that people think it means restricting the foods you eat to lose weight. Everyone has a diet this is just a healthier alternative. You shouldn't go hungry and infact you should eat until you are content. Not to mention, you will notice other things improve than just your skin. Use the paleo diet as just a guide or learn about which foods have a low glycemix index at least. It's just a matter of trying things out and seeing if they work. Eventually you'll home in on what works for you. Please try and avoid dairy at least for a week or 2 and see if you notice improvements. Dairy is one of the biggest contributors to Acne in most ppl. I know it can be a bit of a shock to learn that a lot of the foods you are used to eating can give you acne; however, you will be greatful for it in the end.
We will always be here to answer your questions and help along the way. As I said in my last post though, you should definitely seek out and alternative health care practioner like a naturopath or homeopath to help you find exactly what is causing the problem.
Best of luck - Re: helpppp trysten3000

This is a reply to # 1,166,105I think you were a little bit harsh here. So many naturopathic doctors stress the Elimination Diet (i.e. eliminate dairy, corn, eggs, gluten, etc), yet they do not know what kind of damage it can actually do to a person. It is not the cure all. For some people it is exactly what they need...they can eliminate foods for a few months, detox, and then slowly add those foods back in. For some people, the Elimination Diet can create isolation, depression, and obsessions. I have severe OCD, and for the past several years of my life, I have been on a very very strict diet. There was no cheating...I feared what would happen to me if I did. I didn't eat at other people's houses, when I went out to eat I always had to say " no this, no that...I'd like this instead of that." and there was pretty much no joy to my life. I think naturopathic doctors are great, I'm actually in naturopathic medical school right now, but there needs to be some balance in life.
I went on a Candida diet about 4 months ago, and my eating habits got even more strict! Some people may cheat on the Candida diet if it's their birthday or a special occasion...but not someone w/ OCD. I planned what I was going to eat days in advance. I never opened the pantry and asked myself, "what do I feel like today"? I knew what I was going to eat that day 5 days ago. If I was still hungry at the end of the day after I ate all of my food on the list...that was too damn bad. Even though I was eating lots of chicken, eggs, turkey burgers, olive oil,wild fish, and veggies, I lost about 8 lbs, which brought me down to 97 pounds. When I told my naturopathic doctor how strict I was being and how miserable it was, she told me I should have called. She definitely didn't think I needed to be so strict. I am off the diet now (I was on it for about 3 months.) The three months ended right around my birthday, and I ordered myself a birthday cake. It was gluten free, vegan, and maple syrup sweetened...but still it was so damn liberating! I had been avoiding all sugars for so long, that eating a healthy cake was a huge adventure for me. Nothing bad has happened since I have been off the diet and I am enjoying life a bit more.
I have healthy food in my house, but I am trying to allow myself to go out to eat, pick something yummy off of the menu, and not feel guilty about it. I will always buy brown rice noodles, but if I go over to someone's house and she is serving wheat pasta, I want to eat it and be happy about it. I will always bake w/ stevia, maple syrup, or agave, but if I'm at a friend's wedding, I want to eat some wedding cake and enjoy every single bite.
If someone has to avoid all grains, dairy, sweets, and alcohol for the rest of his/her life, surely that is not a life worth living. I am all about eating healthy...but just recently, I realized that food is not just for nourishment. Food is meant to be enjoyed, shared w/ friends and family, and celebrated!
One may say, "well you only have to eliminate those foods for three months," but someone who has obsessive tendencies will see things differently. He/she may think, "I had to avoid these foods for three months, so there must be something BAD about them...I better continue to avoid them." Those foods now have the "BAD" label on them, so eating them brings on guilt, even after the three months are up!
I guess my main point is that people should eat healthy...buy the organic foods, bake with unrefined Sugar and flour, avoid fast food and hydrogenated oils, BUT at the same time, allow themselves to go out to dinner, have an ice cream cone once in a while, enjoy a piece of cake on their birthday, AND be OK with it!
HAPPY EATING!

This is a reply to # 1,166,431Not all naturopaths are equal, I went through about 3 before I found a good one. The only reason I said avoid dairy is because it has been pasteurized, unless you buy free range raw milk which can actually be VERY beneficial. Unfortunately, the dairy products on the market today go through so much processing that it is what causes our bodies to become intolerant to it, Dr Mercola explains it very well. Perhaps you should look into metabolic typing, I think it is exactly why diets dont work for everyone. You should be able to eat foods that you enjoy and love to eat; at the same time, they should be foods that your body's chemistry needs. Hell, I reaslised after being on that paleo diet for so long that I really needed something more. I had to incorporate some grains back into my diet for energy, I usually use rice; and, I definitely still eat my fair share of junk. One food that I cannot recommend highly enough is coconut oil. If you dont like the smell then it's probably not for you but WOW, I eat soooo much of it - I add a big dollop of it to my porrige every morning along with a free range raw egg and some raisins (very alkalizing) with some water, YUM!! Coconut oil kills anaerobic bacteria (like candida), gives you loads of energy, great for the thyroid and immune system and it tastes great. have to make sure you supplement with omega 3's though so the ratio dosen't get out of whack. Anyways, my dinner ready and I've kinda lost track here so i'll finish this another time.

This is a reply to # 1,166,431Everything you said in your post is why, in other recent posts of mine I stressed very firmly that most of what helped me was EFT therapy. The emotional side of things is just, if not MORE important than the physical side. I used to be very obsessive about food, much like you described, constantly in terror about what this or that would do to me. I was always so stressed which obviously is as much an Acne trigger as allergens can be. It wasn't until I started my emotional therapy work that I learned to stop being obsessive, and when I learned to stop being obsessive I had a better view of what foods were bad for me and what ones werent. I no longer had to be scared of everything, I just realized that I had a sensitivity to gluten, needed to steer clear of it, and that was that. Its no longer a bad thing, in fact avoiding gluten makes me happy in a weird way, I think its because I feel so much better overall (goes way beyond skin). I definately agree, don't be too strict about everything. Just learn what bothers you the most and stay away from that. I eat chocolate all the time for example. Even though I know chocolate is an Acne trigger for some, for me its fine and if I pig out, I dont feel the least bit guilty.
The best advice I can give is do the emotional work first, and when you figure all that out, what your body needs will become clear. If you are feeling obsessive, in any way, something is wrong, and that negative energy will confuse your body.- Re: helpppp #70942

This is a reply to # 1,166,757You're quite right; infact, I was going to add in my last post before that I have been using an audio technology to meditate with every day. It is really amazing technology, it takes you from your beta brain waves to alpha, then theta and finally delta in less than 30 minutes. It's amazing. I could go on about it but if you are interested you can go to this website and get a free demo cd and learn more about it. The full program is quite pricy but I think it was worth every penny. Since I started using it (about 2 weeks ago), it seems my whole life has turned around. If you can afford it I highly recommend it or at least try the free cd. I think as far as me rambling on about food is just cause I have studied so much of it that it really is second nature to me now, i dont have to think about it when I go shopping and I am content about what I eat too which is a bonus; oh, I'm eating chocolate as I type this too, lol. I think ppl have more problems with chocolate if theres vegetable oil and milk solids in it. Anyways.. You are 100% right though, i think emotional problems are the biggest cause for almost any ailment.
I've just began my course in a bachelor of health Science today, its so interesting. It's amazing how my life has changed around for the better since having acne. It's good to know these things happen for a reason.
Best wishes to all. - Re: helpppp #92496

This is a reply to # 1,167,087Well I only did like one or two sessions before I noticed a difference. After 5-10, my entire life was different. Making "room" within myself to allow good in was what EFT did for me. My entire existence, literally almost ALL the energy I had left over after what I used to take care of my basic life needs, went to obsessing over my skin. I was in a constant state of distress. Very sad.
I went from suicidal to the happiest Ive ever been in my life in a matter of weeks. My skin didn't clear up then but it got much better after that. I still get zits, usually when Im accidentally exposed to gluten, but it's no big deal, its not the obsession that it was. And if I ever do feel obsessed, I simply do a few rounds of EFT and it takes care of that. It's on my to do list for this morning actually!

This is a reply to # 1,165,484That's too bad you have to go through this. I remember going through it at your age. It was terrible then, and I image it is worse to go through it these days.
There is a possible cause, which involves "demodex" skin mites. We all have them, but recent studies show that certain people with a certain blood type {antigen type actually} react to them. They feed off of hormones secreted in the oil glands in the skin.
There are ways to control them, but you must follow the protocols for reducing and controlling them.
I would do some research on it; it could be your resolution. Shroom - Re: helpppp DodgerRodger

This is a reply to # 1,165,484Two things you can do that should help.
1. Use a soap such as Dial that has Triclosan which kills bacteria. I use the yellow dial soap and stick with the same type as your body gets used to it.
2. Don't eat sugary candy, especially sour sugary candy. Soda pop is bad, too. Try to limit the amount of Sugar in your diet.
