| mrsillinois96's Full Review: |
I have had a problem with pimples for as long as I can remember. I never had a serious problem, but it was enough to warrant me to find a solution. I was getting sick and tired of wearing heavy makeup while modeling. When I was in my late 20s, I developed a pimple like rash that started at the top of my face and ended at my chin. Makeup covered the blemish, but my husband screamed with horror when he wanted me to stop wearing make up. After extensive research I found that Zinc in a multi-vitamin solved the problem BEST for me.
Benefits and Items to Note!
• How long did it take? 2 weeks to a month - 15mg to 30mg daily maintenance - Keep in mind that I am a vegetarian. Results happen faster in me than it might you. From research, I have found that I heal 100 times faster than others. I had my wisdom teeth pulled and by the end of the day the skin had completely healed. I was able to eat normally on the beginning of the second day. The operation only took 10 to 15 minutes and I had 3 teeth pulled. I only take 30mg if I take both of my multi-vitamins. I will write about this in a different review. For great results you want to work up to about 30mg to 100mg daily.
• Things to eliminate from your diet - I love coffee, chocolate, dairy products and Pepsi! But I had to give these up. This is what caused it the most. I have these items every once in a while, but not often. They key factor is moderation.
• What else helps? - Drink a lot of water and have tea with a fruit scent with ginger or cinnamon.
Vitamin A w/ Beta Carotene 100,000 IU - The normal dosage is about 25,000 IU! Please read my review on Selenium. This covers the point on doing research to come up with the correct dosage. You have to start out small and work your way up to this dose. When you achieve the desired results, then you go down to 15mg for maintenance.
Evening Prime Rose Oil - I was taking 4-6 daily at 1300mg. For maintenance I take 3 3x's a day. I take this for other reason to. I have bad cramps and have a hard time keeping my weight to it's correct level.
Eat a lot of carrots! - Carrots are loaded with Vitamin A. I recommend eating a salad every morning for breakfast. This works wonders for keeping the skin clear and free from acne
Side Effects
• Stomach and Intestines Poisoning - 1000mg or more a day will chafe or inflame the stomach and intestines. To much causes to diminish strengthening abilities to your immune system. It also can eliminate the correct function of copper that is need to correct problems of pigmentation for your hair and skin.
• Zinc Enemies
Too much Calcium - I used to drink a gallon of whole milk a day. I would eat ice cream like it was my main food source and cheese ..... Oh how I love cheese. These products are high in Calcium. Too much will cause Zinc to not function.
Oral Contraceptives - Ask your doctor for another form of birth control if you have a serious skin problem.
Alcohol - You do not have to give this up, just limit your usage.
Antacids - If you find yourself taking too many antacids, find something else to solve your problem.
Letters from Readers
(amberm wrote:) It was nice but there were some problems with your statements...eating a vegetarian diet has nothing to do with healing faster...certain people are born with better immune systems. I am not a vegetarian, yet for all 20 years of my life, I have never have any sort of illness that lasted past 24 hours. My immunity is strong because I was lucky to get that through genetics. But it has nothing to do with being a vegetarian...many who are vegetarians have just as poor diet as "meat eaters"
Unless you have lived both sides of the fence, you have no factual basis for your statement. I do. Your a 20 year old college student and I am 33! My husband is 53 and he has a better body than a 21 year old. You have not had time to develop the problems that I am writing about!
