**(b)ACNE**

[goldenseal]

i eat super healthy....my diet mainly consists of organic veggies, eggs/fish, seeds, fruits and whole grains. I take fish oil, flax oil and multivitamins.. and i stay away from refined sugars, most dairy, nuts (they give me stomach aches), and wheat (most of the time). I usually exercise when possible. my face looks wonderful... no acne... its glowing ... it does have a few under the surface white heads and such... but i can live with that. What i can't deal with is the fact that I have acne on my back! I don't know what to do!! Please help!!!! Should I go on a fast? Or is there something I can put on my back? Once again.. please help! THANKYOU!

Derm/Doctor? Maybe a visit could get you a prescription of something for it. I don't know, just an idea! Good luck though buddy!

thank you... but as i've mentioned... i'm very healthy... so i'm pretty much against prescriptions and such... unless its alternative medicine thanks though... anyone have any other suggestion?

To be fair, your condition can't be all that bad if you're not willing to see a doctor about it.

I'm ''pretty healthy''. I also have addisons disease (v. rare adrenal disorder), so i'll have to spend the rest of my life taking prescription medication 3 times a day every day.

Sorry if this post comes across a bit bitchy... I guess you're lucky to be able to choose not to take drugs... Good luck!

I agree with 'ihatethis'. if you are refusing meds for no good reason, it cant be that bad. and i didnt know being healthy meant one had to be against medication.....if alternative therapies havent worked, and you arent willing to try meds...not sure what is left!
