| James 10-29-2002 03:25 PM | does anybody know what hormone gouverns sebum production im not trying to give anybody any ideas but i was wondering which one it was -could it b testosterone and if ones testosterone levels are 2 high would there b any signs of this or physical symptoms perhaps acne or lots of energy ? |
| Wai 10-30-2002 02:33 PM | There are a few that influence your sebum production, including testosterone and progesterone (both men and women contain both). |
| James 01-15-2003 04:03 PM | i was wondering if u knoe of anyways 2 knoe if ure hormones are balanced since hormones can be responsible for acne and if theres anyway 2 balance them so their perfectly balanced i have a feeling if they were perfectly balanced u wounldnt get acne regardless of water retenion or diet what do u think ? |
| Wai 01-15-2003 04:08 PM | quote:a Dr can check your hormone levels quote:if they are out of balance, hormone replacement therapy can help (taking hormones), but can also have adverse effects... quote:scientific research has shown that in most acne patients the hormone balance is not impaired check out this chapter |
| mengyao 01-15-2003 07:21 PM | i read on living-foods.com under an article that "raw foods provide you with all the nutrients, oxygen, enzymes to provide hormonal balance." that figures why eating lots of raw foods and no cooked foods is the key to stopping the attack of acne, in the case that hormones are causing water retention. |
| Wai 01-16-2003 07:37 AM | quote:actually, our body can, by definition, produce all enzymes that it needs. Enzymes that it cannot (sufficiently) produce, are called vitamins, and they can be sufficiently produced by a raw food diet as a cooked food diet as well. Apart froom our diet, we can obtain all air that we need, by breathing. All essential nutrients can be obtained from both a raw food diet as well as from a cooked food diet. So, honestly, I don't see how the quoted statement provides argumentation for a raw food diet regarding hormones. also, the enzymes and oxygen don't provide hormonal balance. What can provide hormonal balance, is consuming enough good cholesterol (the precursor of many hormones), sufficient energy and nutrients (by providing an anabolic state), and a slittle substances that can interfere with your hormone metabolism (beta-carbolines from cooked foods, phytoestrogens from soy products, exogenous hormones from dairy products). |
| James 01-16-2003 01:32 PM | in ure acne theory u say acne is caused by water retaining substances or by to high a sebum production and ure diet eliminates the water retention but what about gettin rid of acne thgough the other side of it the 2 high sebum production ? |
| Wai 01-17-2003 04:52 AM | quote:there are many products (Retin-A, Accutane etc) on the market that aim on doing so, with some success. If you are looking for easy results; that is where you can go. BUT; it does accelerate aging of the skin, since the sebum is required to prevent dehydration and inhibit the aging process |
| James 01-17-2003 11:59 AM | do u knoe any ways 2 do this without those products cause a doctor probably woudnt give them 2 me cause my acne is not really noticeable. is their any natural ways of drastically lowering sebum productions? im not worried about the skin ageing thing im worried about gettin rid of acne in all its hellish glamour . cause i really do need 2 get rid of the acne that i have its crucial i do so .this diet has worked for me but it hasnt completed the job thats y im so interested in the hormone aspect of it.what about the thyroid gland could it play a role in acne ?and y is it that some people cant handle protein decomposition or some dont retain water do people with acne have some kind of disorder? could acne be the rsult of messing with ure hormones while they were changeing and developeing in puberty by eating way 2 much junk food cause i knoe a guy and hes been eating junk food forever and his acne was horrific,and lots of people i knoe who dont have acne never were that big on junk food even in puberty.also i read a story about a guy who had acne and was given a prescription drug i think it was methadone and his skin dried out and cleared up do u think its possible?the reason im stuck on the hormone aspects of it is that the diet has worked for me but it hasnt completed the job and it says in ure book that if u cant get rid of all ure acne with the sample diet than it could b hormonal so im trying 2 rid myself permanently of any acne whatsoever without having 2 b a slave 2 any diet even thou if i was totally acne free i would still use this diet which i think is brilliant and genius thanks and sorry about the long post |

| James 01-21-2003 02:38 PM | u didnt answer if the thyroid gland plays a role in acne? and i read something about amalgam fillings in ure teeth that can poison u and cause acne what do u think about this ?and what drug are u talking about specifically,accutane?and its not that i cant follow the sample diet but it doesnt seem 2 work fully for me and besides what r u saying im cursed and have 2 follow a diet for the rest of my life and have 2 look skinny and insult people when they offer their food 2 u cause ure on an eliteist diet people with acne shouldnt have 2 suffer that if they dont stick 2 a hermetic diet they break out which ruins their lives .im not knocking ure diet at all but its not a cure 2 acne i mean its great 2 knoe sure but it doesnt solve the problem and thats what im trying 2 do here with yours and whoevers help thanx |
| Wai 01-21-2003 02:58 PM | You want a cure? i cannot give you that The diet is not a cure indeed, it only PREVENTS acne, and only as long as you stick to it. If you don't want that, i cannot help you. Please try one of the commercial treatments / products. |
| James 01-23-2003 05:08 PM | ok but do u knoe if the thyroid can play a role in acne ? and i read amalgam fillings can cause acne do u think so? thanx |
| Wai 01-27-2003 12:21 PM | quote:yes, the thyroid hormones play a role in acne, since they play an essential role in your energy metabolism, which is strongly connected to your metabolic hormones, which co-regulate the production / secretion of sebum quote:i wouldn't know how |
| James 01-28-2003 04:35 PM | i had read the filling could cause acne by the poison that they release into the systeme? and im glad 2 hear that the thryoid plays a role in this acne thing, with what i knoe now from what u told me throught this hormone post im working on something and will be back with my findings and hopefully it will be good news ![[Smile]](../smile.gif) ![[Razz]](../tongue.gif) ![[Big Grin]](../biggrin.gif) thank u for ure help THIS THREAD CONTAINS MORE THAN ONE PAGE >>> |
| Wai 01-29-2003 03:01 PM | quote:and how exactly would that cause acne? |
| James 01-31-2003 10:33 AM | well im not a rocket scientist or anything but i presume that the poison is released into the systeme and then it makes its way out throught the skin thus causeing acne ,the person was saying that if nothing has worked in remouving ure acne even a raw diet than it could b those amalgam fillings causeing acne ,personally i dont think its true i think its more hormaonal issues that cause acne but do u think its possible ? does everybody here got fillings ? |
| Wai 02-01-2003 03:35 PM | i'm sorry, but it doesn't make any sense to me |
