The reason I'm so sure is because after 7 years of this forum with every single person trying every single medicine, cream, anything that can be thought of...it has been tried. Maybe a few things of course haven't been, but it is very likely that it will produce the same results--none.

Why am I so sure this will work? It's pretty simple...the body knows how to heal itself with almost anything nature can throw at it, as long as it isn't a terminal disease (which some can still be held off by exercise and eating habits)the body can overcome it.

This is simply peeling lips. We peel the skin off, the body see's that we are missing skin, it grows it back. We peel it off again, it grows it back again. Granted it's the most annoying way to heal something by not touching it, and I still don't have an answer as to why it takes so long...but I have given my theories and there are several of them, and they seem very logical to me.

Chapstick caused my lips to swell over the years. Eventually they were so big they started drying out. I have to wait for them to reduce to their normal size, which is taking months...but they are getting smaller. Once they reach their normal size they will stop peeling.

The sides of my top lip barely peel at all anymore, they just flake, they haven't produced any crusts at all in over a month. That is proof enough to me that this is working, when you consider the fact that in my early pictures I had huge crusts on the sides of my top lip. The rest of my lips are following. Once they reduce their size they will quit building up just like the sides have. But it takes time...lots of it. That's why I constantly stress the importance of weekly pictures because your mind honestly cannot remember the details from 3 months ago, and you will personally believe you haven't gotten better if you don't have something to look back at.

I have also personally talked to the two people that I have listed on my site who are 100% cured. That means they used to have peeling lips, and they no longer have peeling lips at all, their lips are perfectly normal.

Now, if my progress was getting worse, then yes I would question my method, however my progress has not gotten worse, it has only gotten better. So logically it will continue to get better until there is no more better to get, which will be healed.

Every other method has been tried, but the only people who have truly been cured from this, whether they did some crazy diet or not also appear to have quit picking at their lips.

It is my promise and goal to find at least one way to cure myself from peeling lips. If you find another, less embarrasing way, then awesome! I can only hope. I will gladly put your post as a reference on my site so others can do your method when you find it, but as for me, I will do this for as long as it takes, even if another cure is found just to show that this can be beat at least another way.

This is a team effort we are doing, so I am very glad you are taking different approaches. I honestly didn't expect anyone to commit to my method until I was finished anyways. But I wanted to let people have the option to watch me either way, because I think it's important that we at least have hope and someone determined enough to see if it truly works...and have documented proof at the same time.

Daniel,

Again I love the positivist, but when you say the body can heal itself of everything except terminal illness, unfortunately thats just not true. There are plenty of things that the body cannot heal itself of, I wish it could. Also for as many people who have tried this and succeeded there are plenty more who have tried an failed. Again Im not trying to convince you to stop or anything, i just think its important that people dont come on here and see people saying "This is the one and only cure that definitely works" when it is far beyond being a proven cure.

Also when you say that everything has been tried, that is also very untrue. I actually think its amazing how LITTLE has been tried. It seems like everyone has just tried the same things, like protopic, but there are MILLIONS of ointments and creams and pills that people havent tried. I have been talking to this specialist and everything he mentions I search on this website and almost ALL of it hasnt been tried.

Also people make the mistake of generalizing ointments and creams. They think "Hey this steroid didnt work which means all steroids dont work, or this ointment didnt work so all ointments dont". Everything is different so there are MILLIONS of creams and ointments that havent been tried. However, that being said I do believe that systemic medication will be much more effective than topicals, hence the reason I am doing it.

I wish everything was as easy as taking care of your body, and letting your body heal you but its just not. But I applaud you for you dedication, I just dont want people to come on here thinking that this is a proven cure, when its really not. I hope you understand.

Healing,

How can you find the root cause with no experiments? And leaving them alone is different than finding the root cause, because leaving them alone is just treating it as a wound, and treating it as the root cause was the trauma to your lips.

And tons of people on here have just left their lips alone and let their bodies heal their lips and it didnt work. Theres just some things that our body cannot heal on its own, in fact there are A LOT of things.
