Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 For those of you with acne issues, there may be several approaches besides the supplements, such as food elimination. Dairy is a big one that promotes acne in some people, and I am talking about regular, pasteurized, homogenized milk that you find at the grocery store. Raw milk is a different story. So, you might want to try avoiding all dairy for awhile and see if that helps. I hope Anita will answer this question, as her son had problems with acne that totally cleared up with the protocol that she was following (I think it was the Kane protocol), and the raw milk was a part of that. Also, supplementation with essential fatty acids, such as evening primrose oil would be good. Anita, let us know--I remember talking to you about your son and thought you had such good news!

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Thanks, Patty! I have primrose oil, too, and will start using it. I bought it then didn't use it. ;-( > > > Straight tea tree oil works well for some, as well as straight > lavender oil. > > > My son has terrible acne right now from taking steroids > following horrible > > > poison ivy.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 discoid or scle? my dermatologist thought I might have scle (subcutaneous lupus) because of rash and lab tests with high 'anit-smith' antibodies that are specific for lupus. My rheumatologist finally concluded I have SLE. I still think a lot of the rash I had is related to fungus & candida. I had a couple different kinds of rashes though. The rash that bothered me the most - itched and oozed (yich) - went away when Dr. Kolb treated me with nystantin (then diflucan when my liver enzymes went down to normal). I am back on nystantin now, and am just recently beginning to take Primal defense again, and get back on Kolb's protocol. I really want to figure out how I can start detoxing. I guess i need to do some reading. > >> > Straight tea tree oil works well for some, as well as straight > > lavender oil. > >> > My son has terrible acne right now from taking steroids > > following horrible > >> > poison ivy.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 That is what happened with me too, Lea. My old rheumatologist first said I had lupus or sjogrens. Then (after I found out I had ruptured implants & told him), suddently I had neither. I went to the University rheumatologist who told me that I do have lupus, and explained that the antibodies like anti-SSA and anti- go up and down from test to test. I had high anti-SSA one time and high anti- another time. The only thing that remained constant was an ANA of 1:320. I'm working on it, Lea! > >> >> > Straight tea tree oil works well for some, as well as straight > >> > lavender oil. > >> >> > My son has terrible acne right now from taking steroids > >> > following horrible > >> >> > poison ivy.
