Protocol
I usually break out really bad
I started this and its worked so far!
Acidophilus-as directed on label
Chromium Picolinate- as directed on label
Colloidal Silver- as directed on label, orally and apply with cotton to affected area
Essential fatty acids- gram every meal, 4g max a day
Potassium- 99mg daily
Vitamin A- 25,000 IU a day until healed, then cruise on 5,000 IU daily
Vitamin B complex- 100mg of each major B vitamin 3 times daily
Vitamin B3- 100mg 3 times daily
Vitamin C- 1g, 1.6g, 3times ED, use buffered form
Vitamin D3- 400 IU daily
Vitamin E- 400 IU daily
Zinc- 80mg max a day
Garlic- 1 cap with meals
-this all came from my natural healing book, works great!
well... some of that is OK... mostly not so much.
acidophilus-- ok--- better is mixed strains of probiotics
chromium---eh
silver- good as topical antibacterial can also help with wound healing
4 grams max EFA? why? fats are all about ratio, though typically one needs much higher omega 3 to achieve balance (before moving to a sustaining and balanced fat intake), since generally most people get and have been getting very little omega 3 and a hell of a lot of omega 6 and 9 with a good amount of saturated and trans fatty acids (trans fats need to be eliminated- they are just all kinds of evil)
potassium-- dumb- to limit to 99mg because thats the limit allowed per dose is DUMB... dietary pottassium should be at least 2 preferably 4 to1 to sodium. if diet does not provide one should supplement-- potassium citrate or gluconate powders being fine.
DO NOT TAKE THAT AMOUNT OF VITAMIN A. if you want to load up use carotenes. if taking isotretinoin be careful with either, since it is a vitamin A derivative.
b-complex- ok- better off taking individual b's and using the bio-forms like P5P
C- OK
D3- good, take with calcium and copper (some forms of d-3 certainly better)
E- fine- but mixed tocopherols and certainly not DL form
garlic- ok- want to get stabilized and standardized to get anti bacterial and anti-yeast effects
things not included that should be:
WATER- hydration is key to maintaining skin fluidity, healing, removal of wastes, etc.. etc..
Sesamin/episesamin- reccomend Sesapure- pparalpha agonist- modulates fat metabolism and fatty acid utilization- anti-inflammatory (modulates delta-5-desaturase)
Green tea extract (standardized for EGCG 40-60% is a good range, best if taken with piperine and small amount of vitamin C to increase uptake)- quite similar, though differing binding, to sesamin. also increases glucose uptake and clearance.
R-lipoic with biotin- Reccomend Glucorell- also works through PPAR, though modulating ppargamma as well as pparalpha. synergy with the above.
GLA (from borage oil)- anti-inflammatory- forms DHGLA- blocks inflamatory prostaglandins- synergy with sesamin/episesamin- since delta-5 is converting enzyme.
low dose aspirin (20mg twice a day) stacked with alcar- modulates cox-2 (not inhibitor)- very beneficial with respect to health as well as skin.
NOTE- sesamin/episesamin, GLA, aspirin all decrease platelet aggregation and reduce clotting. so you dont want to take if you are having surgery or while recovering from surgery or injury where bleeding might be an issue. these effects are dose dependant, so stacking them up you should use less.
