Yvonne, you might want to get the book "Eat Right For Your Type" (Individualized) by Dr. Peter D'Adamo. I've had MANY health issues in the past, such as acne, psoriasis, red hands, memory fog, weight gain, occasional weird skin rashes, "sinus"/mucus issues, and even borderline-migraine headaches which would often occur after seeing auras (weird, blinky-worm things in my peripheral vision). It was all due to my DIET. Once I started eating correctly according to my blood type, ALL of my health issues went away. ALL of them. It was LIFE CHANGING! (And my family doctor had NO clue about how to help my seemingly-unconnected health issues! I wish ALL doctors would read this book in Medical School.) I find that leaving wheat and wheat gluten out of my diet and eating more healthy foods (especially spinach and prunes) REALLY helped my acne to totally disappear. Sorry I can't help with your lip color issue, but maybe the book addresses that, as well. Hope this helps! :) Sorry for the late reply. You posted in 2009, and it's now 2013.
