11/18/2011: Loraine from Orlando, Fl: "Hi Sarah: I was reading your post and was ecstatic when I saw you mention Vitamineral Green. I started using this recently and felt amazing just like you said. This product is truly a superfood. Unfortunately though I had to discontinue because I am hypothyroid and this product is loaded with goitrogens from the spinach, kale and broccoli thats in it. For those without these issues though this is the superfood to use to maintain good health. Glad to know this worked for you. Best of luck..."

[YEA]  09/20/2007: ika from Santa Barbara, California: "The airport security took all my cleansers and astringent last month so i've been looking for a hollistic replacement. Apparently, used green tea tea-bags work wonders! It immediately turns those starting-to-swell-and-i-know-it's-going-to-last-a-month zits into whiteheads, ready to pop or naturally pop itself by the next day! I'd make a cup of green tea, wash and dry my face while the tea steeps itself, then I take the tea bag out (let it cool a little first, but warm enough so it opens those pores) and wipe it across my face like a cotton pad with astringent. Let it air-dry. I sit on the couch and drink the tea while i wait for the 'astringent' to dry off. I heard this stains your skin green, but it works like foundation on me because i have an olive complexion.

** CAREFUL, green tea stains sinks, so wash down the sink after every use. **"

[YEA]  11/14/2012: Jeanne from Farmington Hills, Mi: "I accidentally came across some information on using Olive Leaf, Nettles and Green Tea for acne, and found it to be surprisingly effective (after trying countless other things). I Googled each of these three things individually for acne, and there were a lot of sites that showed people had immense improvement, so I just started taking all three supplements and couldn't believe the results.

It is best to use herbs that say "standardized" and/or "guaranteed potency" to ensure you're actually getting the strength and amount the label lists. I took two olive leaf capsules and two nettle leaves capsules in the morning and in the evening (although if your condition is very bad, you can take a dose at lunch, as well).

I also took Green tea extract (either the herbal liquid tincture or herbs makes a liquid cap that works better than a powdered green tea capsule-- at least in my experience) a couple times a day. Drinking the actual tea is good to do too.

Make sure you are getting adequate vitamin and mineral intake, as well. For skin, especially Vit. C, A, E, and the minerals zinc and selenium. Also, Essential Fatty Acids like fish oil (EPA/DHA)."

[YEA]  09/12/2010: Emily from New York, Ny: "3 - 4 Tablespoons of organic Hemp seed everyday had made a WORLD of difference in my acne. I can't believe it! I don't think you have to but I take the hemp seeds with meals so the dosage is spread out throughout the day. You can sprinkle them on salads, fruit, soups, yogurt, and they taste great in almond milk, which I eat every day. As long as I eat 3-4 Tablespoons of the Hemp Seeds and stay away from dairy (yogurt is the only dairy product I don't break out from), and sugary foods and take my hemp seeds, I am in the clear! Please try this simple remedy if you are suffering from acne- it also helped my asthma so I will post about it in that section, too!"

09/03/2011: Brianna from West Islip, New York United States replies: "Hey I am not sure if this really works... Do you know how long it takes until the acne is gone?"

[YEA]  04/03/2008: Winnie from Washington, DC: "Thank you earth clinic. we''re all in this together. I spend lots of time reading about remedies and testimonies, the yes and the nays, its all good. I am pleased to read the nays that come from people who understand that even though the product didn't work for them, doens't mean the other testimonies are fake, just as we all are individuals, we get different responses.it's all good, learn from it and ask your higher power to send you what works. thats what i did; I have been trying lots of things, every time I read a testimony, I run out and buy the stuff and start using,and a week later, I decide, this thing is not working, and sometimes get angry because I have a cabinet full of ingredients'don't want to use anymore; then i started reading the testimonies from my heart, and listening to how I really feel about a product.

What happened is that ideas started coming to me, and one of them is honey, I decided to try honey on my acne face, I had half a jar of manuka honey at home so I started using it along with baking soda and lemon juice, and imediately I could see a glow. I also had pain in my gum, and have been using OP with some results, but still had soreness with brushing, then todaY i DECIDED TO USE THE HONEY inplace of oil, put a tsp in mouth for about 5 to 10 minutes, then spit it out and brush, wow! no pain or soreness, I also had a bump on my face, i put a dab of honey and went to bed, this money bump gone. I tok the honey jar and spoke into it thanking all the bees that gave me this wonderful product, I thanked the farmers,the store keepers and last but not least this wonderful site, earthclinic. thank you for taking us back to earth, now i know everything works, at the right time with the right attitude. Love always."

[YEA]  03/17/2010: Capirussa from Orlando, Florida, Us replies: "Honey has also been a successful treatment of acne for me. I bought a jar of organic RAW honey and it made all the difference from the regular, processed market brands. I suggest it to anyone because not only is the organic honey full of enzymes and good things that have not been filtered out and help kill the acne bacteria, it is also non-drying for your skin or harsh in any way and I've had some degree of success with it in removing the old acne scars. Since the honey comes in a rather solid form, you can just take a spoon to it and carve some out and it'll more or less melt between your fingers once you start to rub it onto your face. I would leave it on as a mask for an hour or so, then just rinse off with warm water. Don't use soap. In fact, that's another thing that helped my skin improve, I stopped using soap and any harsh chemicals on it. The PH balance of the skin returned to normal and along with the honey, helped destroy any bacteria that was lingering where it wasn't meant to be. Good luck everyone, I LOVE THIS SITE! Thank you earth clinic and all who contribute. It has been an amazing help."

[YEA]  12/07/2006: Ruth from Arcadia, CA: "For months I've been stressed out and my face has been breaking out with red swollen pimples, which just wouldn't go away. I spent a lot of money on expensive facial cleansers, toners, and lotions...none worked. After finding information via internet regarding honey and cinnamon paste for acne, I tried it. The next morning the pimples were visibly improved, shrunken. I did a test by not putting the paste on one part of my face, and sure enough that part remained the unchanged. I'm on my 4th day sleeping with this paste on my face and very excited that something so simple is working."

04/02/2012: Yuss from Chino Hills, Ca, Usa replies: "Hi Ruth, Do you think it will work if I put it on my daughter forehead? She is 12 yrs old and she is having very bad breakout. Red, swollen and lots of white stuff. It hurt me looking at her so sad and depressed. So far I had tried baking soda and salt to wash it. But it seems still red and very much alive. I am scared if I make it worse. Please advise. Thank you."

04/23/2010: Makeup.saves.my.life from Houston, Tx replies: "It has gotten better.- But still

Acne, the bain of my existence. I got my first pimple in 5th grade and unlike many people here, have ALWAYS had issues with acne. I have used Retina, 4 diff types of antibods, Aczone, Differin, Tri- something, Benz Perox, etc, and was basically about to go on Accutane but just couldn't get myself to do it. I usually get the big pimples that are red and sore and hurt and you can't even pop them because they have no white head to pop.

I am just exhausted but have given HP a shot. I have done it for two weeks and it has helped the big/sore/jupiter pimples, however they are not completely gone. They are now like small asteroids but still present none of the less. Does anyone have any advice on how to get them completely off my face? I wipe my face with HP cotton swabs at night and press the swabs on the pimples for 10 mins. My face hasn't gotten dry at all but REALLY REALLY red around any pimple are, make up covers that up though.

Maybe I should do it longer... I don't know. But I wanted to see if I am missing another ingredient or something. I will keep this thing updated if there is improvement or if they just linger. I JUST want them off. I really want to change the feedback to a solid yea instead of a half hazard yea."

04/23/2010: Lisa from Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa replies: "Hi Makeup, The first thing you should know is that with all the medications you have taken for your acne throughout your life, you have definitely messed up your internal ecosystem. All that medication destroys the good flora in your body and leads to havoc. That would be something you should seriously consider, re-establishing the good bacterias in your system. That can be done through diet. The drs. aren't going to tell you that because they're schooled in prescription drugs NOT in true healing!

You can go through all the recent posts in regard to candida issues because they would apply. Specifically, read the thread of Gwendolyn's on the latest post page as you will get information to help you. The acne is a by-product of the state your body is in. Personally, I would do the apple cider vinegar before the HP as it will help alkalinize you. Just going at your face from the surface is never really going to "cut the root out" so if you are serious about getting them "completely off your face", you are going to need to do internal cleanup.

I wish you the best and hope you get started so you can begin to see Real results. Peace, Lisa"

04/23/2010: Linde from St. Paul, Minnesota replies: "I had the same thing when I was in my 30's. The zits would be a collection of 3-5 small zits in one big bump!!!

A local herbalist gave me two tinctures to take - dandelion and burdock. (5 drops per day of each for the first week, then 3 drops a day of each for 3 months).

He told me that it would be a slow process. As I remember, he said it was candida that had gotten its tentacles into the bones of my face and it would take a while to get them 'weeded' out.

I didn't change my diet at all, I just took the drops in a glass of water the first thing in the morning. Sure enough, after 3 months I never had one of those big zits again. And that was almost 20 years ago."

01/21/2010: Cured from Niceville, Fl replies: "Mike, glad you found something that worked. This is just a guess but I am guessing that you started the coconut oil about the same time or after starting Apple Cider Vinegar. What you were experiencing is most likely detox/candida die-off from the coconut oil. I experienced a get worse before you get better effect when I started using virgin coconut oil. I used as a moisturizer as well among other things. I have never found anything that you can put around your eyes like that with no problems. Anyways the first week I was fine. After that I broke out for the next few weeks. I continued maybe backing off a day or so. I couldn't help it though my body like craved it. After 2 months now, my skin is clear with only one here or there. My regimine--ACV as toner, coconut oil straight over ACV, then my makeup. I also make turmeric capsules that I take for anti-inflamitory but helps with acne as well."
