Re: That was from my search

My scars were pitted, and badly pitted, but in a moderate amount on my cheeks. I thought I would have them forever, too. I attribute the disappearance to the Merle Norman protocol. I was diagnosed with high testosterone in my early 20's, just before I started the tetracycline, but was given no treatment. In my 20s and 30s, I was so surprised when I got compliments on my skin. But I took care of my skin after it cleared up, using a moisturizer and mask every day, not even knowing the scars would disappear.

I did an eliminate scar search when I posted that to you. You can do the same. As long as you have a defeatist attitude and are not open to possibilities, you will not believe there are possibilities. There are new breakthroughs every day.

The cells in our bodies renew themselves all the time, and from one year to another there is always part of us that is not the same, and over the years we make a completely different physical body. You must love those cells for more positive change.

My son was burned on both ankles with boiling water when he was six. He had to be debrided regularly and it was very painful. When the began talking that grafts were necessary my heart broke for him. I began changing his bandages and debriding him myself, wet, in the bathtub to keep down his pain. And he never had grafts. At 21, when he came out of the military, he showed me his ankles - only a faint shadow. During his life, I learned the power of positive affirmations and always kept him bathed in love and protection, and vowed he would not have to go through the negativity that I did growing up. Our words make the reality of our tomorrow.

My son does have some Acne scarring, as he never really addressed the Acne with anything but benzoyl peroxide, and until he got the Zeno never got the Acne breakouts completely cleared up. He has never done anything for the scarring. Nevertheless, he is the most amazing person I know. He teaches tennis, has more clients than he can personally handle, has an active social life, a 20 year relationship with a gorgeous girl, and is financially stable. He is always positive. Do his scars bother him? I am sure he may have and may still have but he lives a full life and is obviously very happy with his life.

As I said before, we all face problems in our lives. It is how we face those problems that shows who we are. You have a choice. You can keep feeling sorry for yourself for having this particular problem or you can be an adult who faces those problems and deals with life. Will it be easy? Maybe, maybe not, but that's how we grow. Deal with the breakouts first and trust God, or the Universe, or Life, to provide you what you need to be the person you are put here to be, and to provide you with the answer to the scarring when it is time to deal with them.
