Re: More breakouts

You too, eh? Gosh, it's just weird! I get these bumps that almost look like they're in a pattern under my jawline and onto my neck. Almost like "chicken skin". They're red but don't come to a head right away. They just itch like crazy.

YES! I do sometimes get a headache if I leave the Ponds on for awhile. I just chalk it up to the Sodium Borate in the ponds killing parasites, possibly in my blood. I don't think it's causing any harm. What do you think? I guess I've had die-off headaches and other herxheimer (sp?) effects before, and this to me seems like a die-off symptom rather than some harm I'm doing to my body. Do you feel the same way?

As for leaving the Ponds on all night, I've done that, as well. I don't think there's any harm in it.

It's interesting that you've been taking sulfur internally! I hadn't considered that. I can say that ever since I started putting 10% Sulfur Ointment on my face before putting my makeup on (the last four days or so), my complexion and the Acne has really improved a lot. Strangely enough, it isn't drying out my skin. Is that odd? From everything I've read, it's supposed to dry out your skin. I first apply coconut oil to my face, allow that to soak in, and then put a thin film of the yellow sulfur ointment all over my face (avoiding the eyes, of course. The only dryness I've experienced is on the zits themselves. They seem to heal faster and then just flake off without scarring. And yes, the sulfur must be attacking my hyperpigmentation, as well, because old scars are suddenly drying up and flaking off.

I'm starting to think that the sulfur oitment is doing more than just about anything else I'm using. Oh, and I'm taking Olive Leaf and acidophilus internally, to boost my immune system.

Yeah, the staph infection sucked (thanks for your concern!), but it's healing up nicely.

It's so nice that there's someone else out there who I can talk to about this!! Thanks, Brandi, and I hope everything is going well for you and that your jawline/neck heals up soon!!
