I've had some problems in the past including very bad dandruff, oily hair/skin, cystic acne (face/body), and Tinea versicolor (sunspots).
Acne Cure
I've done all the treatments for acne, including Accutane Don't ever take it. It works, but it's poison. My testosterone, mood, and body is still recovering. The effects (both the side effects and the clear skin) lasted about 2.5 years. After it wore off, I started breaking out. But I was finally becoming a man again- not some growth hormone-deficient, low-testosterone, depressed lab rat with vitamin A toxicity.
It's horrible that people still use accutane and tons of other acne treatments when I've found something that works so quickly and effectively to treat it. Try to tell anyone suffering from acne about this so no one has to go what I went through with that awful drug.
The Cure: Vitamin A/D. That's it. Zinc helps too, but is not necessary.
Not just any Vitamin A/D though, you need Cod Liver Oil. And not just any cod liver oil, you need fermented cod liver oil. I take Green Pastures Cod Liver Oil/ Grass Fed Butter Blend. The Butter adds healthy fats and Vitamin K, which may be why it seems more effective. The two foods seem very dynamic.
Now I would normally not endorse a company (especially one that charges top dollar) but they are literally the only company that produces a quality product that I know for a fact cured my skin.
Some other benefits from the CLO/BO blend:
- Increased testosterone (morning wood for the first time since starting accutane)
- More energy
- No oily skin
- Improved Vision (I used to be 20/80 after Accutane. Now I think I'm back to about 20/40)
- No athletes foot. (I used to get this very often)
- Sunspots totally gone
Quit washing your hair with shampoo.
My hair used to be either very dry, or insanely oily if I hadn't shampooed for 24 hours. I had awful dandruff.
I quit using shampoo before I started using CLO, and it made a huge difference. The first week, it was awful. My head was itchy, and really oily. I looked homeless. But after a while, my scalp started to adjust. Now it's never oily or dry.
You're still allowed to wet your hair and wash it out. But I wouldn't recommend putting your head under the shower- excessive water will dry the skin out just like soap. I wet it, and then brush my scalp with a fine comb every day.
I noticed extremely healthy hair, no oil, and dandruff was totally gone in a few months. My new slightly receding hairline grew back.
