Guest guest Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 How long has she had acne? How much iodine is she on? If it just appeared then odds are it is not iodine related. If it has always been there (since taking iodine) then it maybe tied. You do need vit a, mg and vit c. She can wash her face with epson salts and hydrogen peroxide. Also supporting her liver to detox would be good. Acne is common in overloaded livers. Steph bromine acne hey need some advice here once again for one of my kids ! this one has been on iodine protocol for last 6 months but now has horrible acne...never had any before....she does salt everyday sometimes 2 times a day..takes 600 mg of NAC 1 time per day...i have told her to start on 3 tsp of cod liver oil per day....she looks HORRIBLE...is there anything else she could do...i have heard some say taking 25 mg of zinc would be good..but dont you have to be careful not to get zinc too out of balance with copper...she is going to quit the protocol if we dont get a handle on this soon..she has hashi's and always had beautiful skin..now it is acne and scarring....any advice would be so appreciated...also she only does protocol m- f and takes weekends off...but still no relief....thanks....

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Dawn, She might need an increase in the NAC. I take 1 gram daily, sometimes 2 daily if I'm detoxing heavily and it's coming out through my skin. How are her BM's? Is she moving them daily? If not, then more fiber, magnesium to get them moving. A chiropractic adjustment might help too.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hi - try drinking ACV (apple cider vinegar) 1 oz. in juice (apple or grape tastes best) every day until you start seeing results. Bragg's is the best. ACV doesn't taste the greatest, but it really does work. It did absolute miracles for my skin and I suffered from acne all my life until a year ago; now I get compliments all the time! ACV also has other wonderful health benefits as well.
