I went to the doctor to get mine taken off, and told him I was

tempted to just snip them off with scissors. He just shrugged

and said " wouldn't hurt anything! " . Most of them have no

nerve signals anyway, and I get a lot worse wounds picking

berries.

I stopped getting them too, when I changed my diet. Actually

a particulary nasty one SHRUNK and went away (in a place

where I had thought it was a hemmorhoid!).

Hey, Jo!

My guess is that it is candida related?? Those of us with high insulin

probably have sugars fermenting in our gut, feeding the candida

overgrowth. I was doing web research on them and some call them

benign tumors. I saw an anti-candida product that mentioned helping get

rid of and prevent skin tags. But no info as to why.

I've been low carbing it now for about 2 wks and I'm feeling pretty good!

But i don't seem to be losing weight and after reading that article on

autoimmune disorders at

http://www.gethealthyagain.com/autoimmune.html I think I know why. I'm

not digesting much of anything, which is why I want the kefir and

kombucha so bad. =)

Also got my mom and sister interested and now they want cultures too.

I hope my tags go away, but if they don't i guess i'll let my fiance cut em

off like he wants too... bleck.

First time I tried Atkins I got sick, prolly from the supermarket meats/eggs

etc full of MSG, chemicals and unhealthy animal meat. Now i'm using

grassfed beef, free range chickens, and pastured chicken eggs. I also

only buy bacon/sausage with no MSG, nitrites and nitrates. I am super

sensitive to chemicals... prolly due to my autoimmune disorder ie

candida. Anyone else with an autoimmune disorder have skin tags??
