Just wondering if you can take too high of a dose of SP. I know I have mentioned before that extra estrogen gives me pimples, but it is becoming ridiculous. I get the kind that are deep and hurt. Never had blemishes as a teen. I take good care of my skin have followed all the advise previously given to me, but they seem to be getting worse. I plan on being on BO for at least one more cycle (maybe more if I order some more). I am scaring my face...
Would increasing my SP possibly help with the above? I am taking 3 g right now.
Guess I'll get some Strevictin after I have finished my BE and try to undo any damage that has been done.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

I get that kind of acne only while taking pregnenolone and/or DHEA. Do you take either? If so, I'd drop it.

HC - I take 5-7 grams per day with NO problems!
Upside: Gained an inch diameter (i.e. on each breast) in about 5 weeks.
Cut my need to shave legs in half.
No more chin hairs.
Had about 7 "stash" hairs - down to one or none (last one I plucked hasn't returned.)
I rarely get more than one zit per month anyway - but none, now.
Try upping it to 4-5 grams per day - and see if that clears up the acne too.

Hi everyone,
Even I am getting two HUGE pimples on my face. And my skin is also becoming very oily (the kind of skin that I used to have as a teenager. When I wa a teeager I used to get ots of pimples too). I am on 3000 mg of SP right now.
Would anyone recommend increasing the dose?
Or I should just leave things as such?
Thanks
Mansi

Maybe it's worth increasing your SP to 4-5000mg daily? I'm certainly going to give it a try! I noticed that it kicked my growth in when I increased to 3000. And oily skin sounds like too many androgens or testosterone.... SP is I think the way to get rid of that. What else are you taking?
Good luck, WG

From: fawnmarie42 Sent: 7/30/2003 9:14 AM Mansi - Aren't you taking some really high amount of EPO? Like 3 grams? If you are under 35 (I think you are - right?) - then it is most likely all the EPO or other oils you are taking. fawn www.botanicalbeautylab.com |

Hi Hippychick,
I also noticed that I break out more when on BO. I use Desert Essence tea tree oil blemish stick. I works wonders and does not dry out the skin. You can find it at any Trader Jo's or health food store. I think Fawn has a tea tree oil product on her site also. I also use the following mak which is great:
take 1/4 of an orange with skin, 1/4 lemon with skin. 25 red grapes, about 1/2 cup whole plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon aloe vera juice. put it in the blender. Strain it through a cheesecloth. It keeps for about a week. I put some on my face every night. When it dries I gently scrub it off in a circular motion then wash my face. (sometimes I sleep with it and it is ok). IT makes your skin very smooth and cuts down on the oiliness.
Good luck (Fawn has a lot of skin recipes as well on her site..check it out).

From: fawnmarie42 Sent: 7/30/2003 9:29 AM Straight tea tree oil on zits is FANTASTIC - and if you catch them before they "surface" you can keep them from showing up at all. I use a dot of tea tree oil with a Qtip or fingertip when I get a little "sore spot" - like one is going to show up. They never do, if I hit them every night with just a touch of the tea tree. Yes - I think I sell some, but I also think I have a link to the straight oil from Mountain Rose. I have more recipes coming in the future - don't want to use them all up at once. Haven't posted any for acne yet. fawn www.BotanicalBeautyLab.com |

Hi Fawn,
I am not using EPO for systematic intake any more.
My new routine is:
1830 mg Fenugreek
3000 mg SP
2000 mg fish oils
1290 mg Red Clover
1230 mg Wild Yam
1.Topicals with SP and fenugreek extract
2. EPO + heat pads
So I don't know why am I getting oils skin and pimples now.
BTW Fawn just wanted what would happen if you take excess SP? I mean we now what happens when we take excess phytoestrogen (the desensitization etc etc.). But what happens if we have excess SP?
Thanks for your input.

I thought you posted yesterday (or the day before) that you were taking about 3 grams per day - and just stopped.

Fawn:
Thank you for you advise, I will up my SP to 5 g a day and see what happens. Certainly can't hurt from what I am reading. Off and on I have tried the tea tree oil on blemishes (I though I confess I probably don't catch them just before they start as you mentioned that you do).
I bought a tea tree oil blemish stick for the kids and tried it, unfortunately it just ate up my skin (burnt it).
I only use BO and SP for my oral regime. Nothing else. And as noted in my routine a good topical and hypnosis.
Just thought I would mention my pimple problem and see if anyone had any advise, I am doing very well with my growth.
I am curious to see what the SP will do not only with my pimples, but with BE. Hopefully I will have the same kind of results as Fawn with hair growth. I remove hair once a week. Fortunately I am blonde so it doesn't show too much but still a pain in the butt (I use the method where you pull out your hair). The hair on my head is soo thick, understatement for sure, almost too thick. Have always been fortunate having very thick hair on my head and very strong long fingernails.
Success to Everyone!!!!!

Hi Fawn
Actually I stopped using EPO a week ago and started using Red clover also a week ago. I think that the red clover is causing all this oiliness etc since I never has oilyness earlier.
Fawn I wanted to ask you one more thing- Did you feel anything in your breasts when you grew - I mean tigles, pain, itchy breasts , warmth etc?
Thanks
Mansi

Mansi -
sounds like you need to back down on the red clover - did you add 1200 all at once - or titrate up?
Yes - felt tons of ache and tingle and itch and they are actually getting in my way and annoying me at this point. I am not used to having all this - stuff - hanging in my way.
