Re: Whats the answer damn it!!!
Hi,
I have suffered from
Acne since I was 11. It's not been a pleasant 13 years, but now I am trying different things.
Zinc can be helpful, but you need to be careful with it. There are different forms of zinc that correspond to different deficiencies. I found that when I took a form of zinc that I just bought at the drug store, my stomach would get very upset, and I would vomit within about 15 minutes of taking it. That's no fun.
I went to an ND, who gave me zinc citrate, which I found I could tolerate. I am now going to a different naturopath, who found that because I am a vegetarian, I need things from red-meat animals (dashing all my plans to go vegan!) and she gave me this "zinc liver chelate," which comes from parts of bovine animals. Yes, so tasty, I know...
Anyhow, I would recommend finding someone truly knowledgeable in nutrition and homeopathic remedies. Everyone's body is different. We are suffering from different toxins, environments, emotions, chemical make-ups, etc. You may need a combination of a lot of things to make your body healthy. Good luck, and let us all know what you find out.
