Re: problem with skin - melasma on face

Check out the various 'web definitions' I've pasted below.

We see that melasma typically is associated with pregnancy,  the use of oral contraceptives and/or hormone replacement therapy.   This is attributed to the hormonal increase in the number of cells which create/release the pigment melanin (or an increase in the production of melanin).   If she's not pregnant and not using oral contraceptives (or injections or patches) or HRT (as many with melasma are not), then there are other causes reported...such as stress; free radicals causing inflammation (this type of 'inflammation' is not necessarily visible or something we notice); fluctuating hormones/increases not related to pregnancy, birth control or HRT (enviornmental toxins and animal hormones are implicated).  Melasma is not "permanent" and can always be treated & eliminated.  Possible causes (from what you've mentioned):

--Pre-existing hormone issues that have not been resolved

--too much Female Formula

--Female Formula wasn't made correctly (incorrect ratios)

--various hormones & xenoestrogens from meat, dairy & environment ...bovine growth hormones. natural animal hormones, parabens in skin "care" products, fluoride, and all manner to toxins

--EMFs (from cell phone, wifi, cordless phones, smart meters, cell towers, etc) definitely cause an increase in free radicals leading to unseen (and seen) inflammation...and inflammation 'clogs & congests' and limits the flow of blood, oxygen & nutrients throughout the body.  EMFs also cause hormone fluctuations, many times extremely severe

Suggestions:

Eliminate ALL sources of unnatural, body/mind altering toxic frequencies.  Absolutely NO wifi or cordless phones in the home.  The only cordless phone that doesn't bombard us continually is the 'old type' cordless phones that are 900 mhz.  It's FAR better to just get a land line.  If a cell phone is somehow "required", then it should be turned completely off during sleep and used during the day as 'voice mail' (check the messages & texts and return the calls/texts via a landline phone or email whenever possible).  We wouldn't dream of putting our head in a microwave oven to return a text or phone call, eh?  Check to see if a smart meter has been installed by the utility company and if so, learn how to 'opt out' (and do so)...or fight like your life depends upon it to have it uninstalled (because life DOES depend upon it).  These things are just as important as not eating the SAD diet and doing cleanses!  The first step in healing is ALWAYS "eliminate what is making you sick or compromised"...and EMFs/EMRs compromise us all.

--Ensure the Female Formula was formulated correctly and stop or lessen the dosage.  If she started it, she likely had hormone issues of some kind or another.  6 months on the Female Formula should never be 'necessary' if the actual cause of the imbalance is dealt with adequately.

--Limit or eliminate meat & dairy...even when they're "organic", they contain animal hormones (when they're not organic, they're full of all kinds of hormones AND toxins that create imbalances).

--The liver is the Master Chemist of the body...so be sure to continue cleansing, doing daily CE's and doing bi-weekly liver flushes...until the amount of debris seen coming out with each flush is consistenty lower than the previous flushes.  Normally one needs to do 6-8 flushes to get to the point that everything is 'opened up & decongested' enough to have any idea what a "typical" liver flush yields.  It's after that we can start determining if the volume is consistently decreasing.

Healthiest of blessings,

Uny
