Guest guest Posted April 21, 1999 Report Share Posted April 21, 1999 Trixi, I've tried the oil from a burst vitamin e capsule. It stung my skin. It works for some people, though. Try testing it on a small area of your face to see how you react.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 1999 Report Share Posted April 21, 1999 <<Has anyone tried to treat their face with it?>> I tried it a long time ago and it made things slightly worse right away, so I gave up on that idea. I have to tell you all, I've been much better since going on Tetracycline and, believe it or not, switching from metrogel to metrocream. No more dry skin, and apparently, the bit of alcohol in the metrocream is not bothering me. I'm still drinking gallons of water, and I'm now taking Super B-Complex along with my old faithful Evening Primrose, and I've also added acidophilus capsules to the mix to counter the bad effects from the Tetracycline. Major changes though -- first, my eyes are not bothering me any more. I didn't realize how bad they were until I got relief. Next, the mild but chronic seb/derm I had on my scalp is completely gone. I think I even had a bit in my eyebrows because I found myself rubbing them during the day -- that's stopped too. My eyelashes were itchy as well, but not any more. The redness in my cheeks (it was mostly on the right side) is almost gone, and a veiny looking red bump in my nose has all but disappeared. I haven't even been on this routine for a whole week yet, and I've had incredible improvement. I was very opposed to going on an antibiotic. I would much rather have been able to beat this by natural methods and by diet, but I wasn't able to. I did give it a heck of a run for a long time though! But at this point, I'm really glad I caved. I just hope it lasts . . . Diane ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JE >> You need a script for Dimethicone, Zinc, and Noritate...but just Dimethicone and Zinc are not scripts.......in fact they are in lots of OTC things.....if you want the whole compound try asking Pete EXACTLY what he wants the dr to write on the script.....good luck!

Guest guest Posted April 23, 1999 Report Share Posted April 23, 1999 > IMPORTANT: Kelp (1,000 to 1,500 daily), daily multivitamin & mineral complex > (as directed), Vitamin E (start with 400 IU daily and slowly increase to 800 > IU daily), and 50 mg of zinc daily (don't exceed 100 mg from all supplements). Don't do the Kelp. You risk overdosing on Iodine (probaly 6* recomended dose) and it's a no-no for all skin problems. BTW, the list Helen sends out was taken from Prescription for Nutritional Healing... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
