I hope this is ok, I responded to a thread, viewtopic.php?f=109&t=1171, but would like to open in new post, to create discussion in hopes that is will help others.
------
My background: Male, acne for 30yrs, grew up in a home where PUFA was staple, long story, been trying everything all through those years, accutane 2X, B5, paleo, high starch, zero carb, creams, NDT, pregnenolone, liver, mega oral vitA/vitD, zinc, candida protocols, lactoferrtin, magnesium, vitD, low calcium, high calcium... same s*** every one tries, nothing works. Always extremely oily skin with new breakouts everyday. Following Matt Stone, Danny last 4-5yrs, and now the Haidut podcasts.
Ok so in last week tried a new Peat approach, here is what finally controls my skin oiliness, not sure of the mechanism but when I take a tablespoon of *WHITE SUGAR* every 30mins, my hands and feet stay warm, and the oiliness stops. Cortisol, adrenline reduced? I wake up now in the mornings, and instead of being slick with oil everywhere, my skin feels dry. I cannot describe how awesome that feels, 30yrs of acne(tummy, chest, arms, back, neck, face, scalp) is healing. Also my nightly stress wakeups, after every 3hr sleep cycle are gone, 1 week, and I can sleep normally again (after about 7yrs of s****y sleep, since low-carbing).... this is sooo nice. waking at 2am then 5am before the alarm clock = tired rage.
Peating for me, sit in 250W heat lamp 20mins per day, only starch is about 2 to 3 potatoes per day, all other carb is juice, milk, white sugar. Every day small amounts of calf frozen liver(maybe 1/2 ounce), 2 eggs, some ground beef, mangos, banana, melon, dates, orange, apple, 6tbsp collagen, coffee, 50mg niacinamide few times by day, and I currently still take 2 NDT greater pharma thyriod, I'm guessing at least 80g protein. Been trying 2 drops of pansterone in the last week, too much seems to cause hypoglycemia symptoms.
When I try to include, vitA, vitK, vitE, too much caffiene (more the 50mg), cypro, methylene blue, pregnenolone, I get oily. So it seems at this early time, if I rev up metabolism to fast I get hypoglycemia symptoms and cortisol/adrenaline up blood sugar, causing sebum production. Can anyone further explain this, sebum relating to stress hormones?? So I use small amounts for vitA every other day 2500iu nutrisorb, and 1 drop K2 Thorne, 200mg vitE.
So I feel like I solved acne for me, still getting sebum, but greatly reduced. Will take time to get glucose burning and liver health back to optimal. 30yrs damage! And I am hoping that this will continue to progress, it has only been a week, but the change is dramatic. I know the forum is full of RP stating vitA and thyroid, helping dandruff and acne, but it seems for me getting off stress hormones is what starting things rolling for me.
Also should note, that I store fat in my tummy area and chest, not over weight, im 6'2 at 195lbs. I do 5x5 and hypertrophy lifting 5xweek.
Also been doing hair mineral analysis, and my minerals are started to normalize. I take magnesium, potassium, zinc, supposed to avoid calcium for now, but not sure, since calcium is supposed to be important. But past mega vitD could potentially locked up a lot of calcium in the body. On my last hair test, I was doing ultra low calcium intake, but my calcium numbers went up, so not sure if releasing stored calcium or PTH is high and bringing it up. I don't have access to blood work testing...
Anyway short story for other acne suffers, try WHITE SUGAR (or eat small amounts all all day long), keep your finger tips warm, my thoughts were if my finger tips are cold, im running on stress hormones. Took only 2 days and oiliness/sebum reduction was extremely noticeable. I am dumbfounded by how simple this is. All the other approaches did nothing, I know that hair analysis probably helps, but following for 6 months and 2 test, have not given what 1 WEEK on SUGAR has done.
I will update in coming weeks, hoping others will try this and let me know how it goes. I have not found a similar approach in the forums yet, not sure how long this will take until no more hypo-sugar symptoms. All up to my liver getting optimal...
Please comment and any other advice would be appreciated.
