thanks Korven
i live in switzerland, so almost all pharmaceutical staff is nearly impossible to get even the cistus tea
could you explain why you recommend hot water?
Can you get stuff shipped from german amazon? This is the product I use: Amazon product ASIN B00QFFGAT4View: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Cistus-Incanus-Chopped-Rock-1000g/dp/B00QFFGAT4/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=cistus+incanus&qid=1638093862&sr=8-9
Drinking hot water between meals is amazing for your digestion! It's like the carrot salad on steroids.
certain supplements seem to exacerbate acne especially if they cause constipation. taurine seems to worsen it, some of the b vitamisn in high doses like biotin, b12 also do. whereas b6 seems to help it.
either policosanol or thiamine hcl significantly improved my skin texture. i didnt have much acne before, but i had some on the upper shoulders/rear shoulders and face, and some scars on those areas and on the face. normally all the choline supplements and creatine also significantly can impact acne. choline bitartrate, alpha gpc, biotin, etc. i dropped the thiamine, still using policosanol so will see if that's what is doing it.
you got acne after antibiotics? doctors often prescribe antibiotics for acne! i got weight gain from using doxycycline a doc prescribed for acne. i think it was 100mg. probably messed with my development in other ways too. it was during critical years of 17 to 18... put on about 55 pounds in a year from them.
Interesting, eggs tend to give me more acne on my back, maybe it's the choline? If I avoid eggs I don't have any bacne.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that antibiotics (many antibiotic courses during 2012-2015) semi-permanently ruined my gut microbiome which caused even more stubborn acne/rosacea. Last year I was taking lymecycline for a couple weeks and they didn't do a damn thing except make the situation even worse. I believe this shift in the gut microbiome also made me more depressed and moody and this effect also seems to be more or less permanent. Before antibiotics I was more 'alive' and cheerful.
You took doxycycline for an entire year? Wow that is a lot of antibiotics. You didn't get any side effects?
