does smoking pot cause acne? Or make acne worse if you already have it.
I dunno if smoking pot 'causes' acne, dude, but whatever - it's just one of those things that we all have to go through in life...bummer, but hey, there ya go.
Acne is caused by the release of chemicals from your pituatray(sp?) gland when going through puberty. It is better to adjust your diet during this time, ie, eat more fruit (Vitamin C) and veg (Vitamin C also lol)... Vitamin E is good for the skin, and can be found in stuff like apples and skin cream.
Try using a skin cleasing type of thing (like the stuff that girls use...it don't mean nothing, and ya don't have to advertise the fact that you're using it ;) )
Mainly acne is down to diet and hygiene, but even the most diligent health food addicts can suffer from it. As long as you look after your diet and skin care, yuo should be able to minimise the effects.
It'll pass in time.
Iv never heard of that before..
I have the best cure for acne..This may sound a little sick but it work's
OK here it is when you wake up in the morning get a face cloth take your morning piss on it and scrub your face with it..I know I know it sounds discusting..
reapeat this everyday for a week..You will notice after one day that it's going away
After one week you will be cleared up..This is no joke.. My grandmother who is an old German lady told me about this when I was in my teen's.. I had very bad acne as a teen and tryed everything on the market..At first I refused to do this but after much strugle I finaly tried it..In one week you would have never known I ever had bad acne..
That's crazy skillz. I'm not doubting you, but damn that's unsettling.
And I have to agree with you guys. I can't see how the greenie can affect acne in any way. As Res said, it's mainly a question of hygene...
I seem to remember that method from deep within my memory banks, Skillz, although, ewww...might get rid of yer acne, but walking around smelling of piss?...lol..I think I'd rather have the acne...more socially acceptable lmfaoooo
"Hmmm...what is that cologne you're wearing?"
"It's called Essence of Piss...!"
lmfaooooo
hahaha...it brings new meaning to the term, "Eau de Toilet"
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Well of coures you wash your face with soap after the treatment..So you don't walk around smelling of urine..
I knew I would get some feedback from my post. It realy work's well..
My grandmother is 88 years old and hasn't taken any prescriptin meds forever I think.
She's like an old gypsy..set in the old way's she's got 100's of home remedies.
There are some cultures that actually promote drinking your own urine (serious) as it has many antioxidants in it.
Rolf Harris does!
Hmmmm....good point :D
I dunno though, I think I'll stick to SevenSeas One-A-Day, thank you...lol
Fair play to owning up to it, though Skillz...fancy a pint?
mwhahahahaa
:D
I don't think it causes acne. Maybe the smoke can clog pores though? Try to eat more fruits & vegies and also cut down on dairy products. Those things seemed to help me out a lot.
I would have never told anybody that 15 years ago.. :oQuote:

That works for me!
oh and just don't touch your face the oils of your hands are nasty. Becasue I was in a cave in South Dakota and the stalagtites and stalagmites (don't know if I spelt that right) well they were all brown and gross from people touching them!
I don't know about that one skillz ........... lol hahaha
If you stop masturbating your acne will go away. Try to go a while without it and post the results.
TOE you just want him to suffer non-masterbating like you ......hows that going....should go to that thread......do I want to......?

I never really had bad acne but whenever i notice a pimple or whatever coming up, I pop it (if its popable) and dab some rubbing alchohol or hydrogen peroxide on it. Dries them son of a guns right out.
Hahaha Bro, that was FAF, man lmfaooooQuote:

Acne Myths
http://www.skincarephysicians.com/acnenet/myths.html
Myth #1: Acne is caused by poor hygiene. If you believe this myth, and wash your skin hard and frequently, you can actually make your acne worse. Acne is not caused by dirt or surface skin oils. Although excess oils, dead skin and a day's accumulation of dust on the skin looks unsightly, they should not be removed by hand scrubbing. Vigorous washing and scrubbing will actually irritate the skin and make acne worse. The best approach to hygiene and acne: Gently wash your face twice a day with a mild soap, pat dry--and use an appropriate acne treatment for the acne.
Myth #2: Acne is caused by diet. Extensive scientific studies have not found a connection between diet and acne. In other words, food does not cause acne. Not chocolate. Not french fries. Not pizza. Nonetheless, some people insist that certain foods affect their acne. In that case, avoid those foods. Besides, eating a balanced diet always makes sense. However, according to the scientific evidence, if acne is being treated properly, there's no need to worry about food affecting the acne.
Myth #3: Acne is caused by stress. The ordinary stress of day-to-day living is not an important factor in acne. Severe stress that needs medical attention is sometimes treated with drugs that can cause acne as a side effect. If you think you may have acne related to a drug prescribed for stress or depression, you should consult your physician.
Myth #4: Acne is just a cosmetic disease. Yes, acne does affect the way people look and is not otherwise a serious threat to a personā??s physical health. However, acne can result in permanent physical scars--plus, acne itself as well as its scars can affect the way people feel about themselves to the point of affecting their lives.
Myth #5: You just have to let acne run its course. The truth is, acne can be cleared up. If the acne products you have tried havenā??t worked, consider seeing a dermatologist. With the products available today, there is no reason why someone has to endure acne or get acne scars.
Drinking lots of water does help only in as much as if keeps the skin hydrated, use a good moisturiser also keep the skin supple. Tea tree oil is good for applying to the spots themselves and Lavender oil helps reduce scarring (used successfully with burn victims). Cannabis itself doesn't make acne worse although smoke of any description isn't good for the complexion.
Oooohh...look at Lulu doing her homework :rolleyes:
hehehe..nice one, Lulu...some facts there that I didn't know..(always refreshing lol ;) )
Err...I didn't see any mention of the old Germanic remedy there :rolleyes:
Methinks that Skillz might need to have a little chat with Granny...hmmmm...I suspect he'll find her giggling like a school girl, as she tells her mates about how she duped her grandson into washing with piss Mwhahahaha :D
:D
HAHAHAHA!! That's definitely a story for the nursing home tennants :DQuote:

Plz don't hold this against me. Quote: Resinate..There are some cultures that actually promote drinking your own urine (serious) as it has many antioxidants in it. I would never go that far as to drink my own urine but a week of wiping my face with it worked wonders to eliminate a very bad case of acne.. :o
Ok Iv done a little reserch..
Keep in mind I don't do anything stated in this post.It just feel I have to educate some people..
Sometimes you may find, that as much as you try to eat right, to take the appropriate nutritional supplements, to exercise, to drink plenty of pure water - you still just don't get better or solve your particular health challenge. These are the times when you may need a little extra help. In that light I'd like to review homeopathy/isopathy and your body's own medicine.
Homeopathy
In definition, homeopathy is: A therapeutic method, which clinically applies the Law of Similars and uses medically active substances at infinitesimal doses.
Ok, so lets say you get sick with the flu. By using the Law of Similars, you would give yourself an additional dose of some same or similar flu virus, and this would really stimulate your immune system to go into battle. That's using the Law of Similars. However, in homeopathy, you never take the similar substance full strength. You take an infinitesimally smaller amount. Actually, it is so small as to be unmeasurable by physical scientific instruments
To get to such a small level, the original substance goes through a dilution process. For example, suppose you were making a flu remedy. You would take, for instance, 99 drops of distilled water and add one drop of flu virus. You would vigorously shake that solution 100 times (homeopaths call this succussing). Then you would take a drop of that solution and add it to another 99 drops of water and shake again. Then take a drop of that solution and do it again, and again, and again, etc. By the time the homeopath is through with this process, any scientific laboratory could analyze the solution and all they would say is that the substance is just water. BUT, and this is a big but, the power of the remedy is in the vibrational imprint that has been stamped on the water itself by the original flu drop and through each successive generation. And this is where we get into quantum physics and subtle energy, areas where our physical sciences are not yet capable of going.
When the body is given a homeopathic remedy, it is stimulated into action, not because of the physical or chemical nature of the substance, but because of the energetic nature. The body receives new vibratory information and acts accordingly. Now to anyone trained in the physical sciences, this is unprovable. But whether you believe this yourself or not is irrelevant, the fact is, homeopathics can be a very powerful healing resource when used correctly.
Isopathy
In the Rot & Rust educational tour in the microscopy section, we have a discussion about the colloids of life in the blood. If the terrain of the blood (i.e. the bloods pH balance, mineral balance etc.) gets shifted, the elemental forms, the colloidal particles known as the protits or somatids, will change their shape to adapt to the new environment. What they change into can be pathogenic (disease producing) to the body.
This is the biological aspect to the disease process in the body. When Acharyaji was doing all of his research in this area, he understood the developmental life cycle of the internal parasite. He knew that disease was brought about by a shifted internal metabolic balance. To get well, you had to rebalance that metabolism. Understanding these concepts, in relation to also understanding the biological nature of disease, he developed biological preparations to speed the healing process.
As biological preparations, they work on a very unique level. If you understand how microbes can evolve in the blood to a pathogenic level, then to get well, you want to de-evolve those same microorganisms back to a stage where they no longer present a problem.. The primary way to do this is through diet (i.e. rebalance pH). But in severe situations, you could accelerate the process biologically. This is where Acharyaji's remedies come into play. He understood that if you have a microbe at one late developmental stage in the body that is causing problems, you could introduce the earlier stage of that same type of microbe and they would mate and become a lesser form. This is how his isopathic remedies work (iso meaning equal or same).
The protit is a colloid of life. It is the progenitor to later stages of development if the pH of the blood gets thrown off. To de-evolve the later pathogenic stages, you can re-introduce new cultured young protits back into the blood, and the pathogenic forms will become lesser, apathogenic forms. This is the basis for Enderleins isopathic remedies. It promotes gentle and effective self healing through a biological means.
Understanding these two concepts of homeopathy and isopathy, is going to lead to a further understanding of just what the power may be that is behind the effectiveness of the medicine your own body produces.
The Product of Your Own Metabolism
The first time I was exposed to the concept that the body makes its own medicine, it was through a friend who was introduced to it through an eastern Indian "guru" type of fellow. I thought it was interesting but a wacky kind of idea and I never thought about it again - until I came across a book.
And then one day, her husband brought home a little book that told of how individuals had been cured of even the worst diseases with a seemingly strange and little-known natural therapy. Soon afterwards, she began the therapy herself. From the first day she began, she received almost instantaneous relief from her incurable constipation and fluid retention. Within a week, her severe abdominal and pelvic pain was gone.
The chronic cystitis and yeast infections (internal and external) soon disappeared and her food allergies, exhaustion, and digestive problems all began to heal.
What was this therapy that she had discovered? What was this therapy that has helped seriously ill patients gain complete remissions from their afflictions? What was it that she actually did?
That's what I thought when I first heard about this. But I also absolutely needed to know more. What I discovered is that urine is not the substance we think it is. In her book, Acharyaji explains what urine is....
In Layman's Language
Urine is not, as many believe, the excess water from food and liquids that goes through the intestines and is ejected from the body as "waste". It is much different and much more. When you eat, the food you ingest is eventually broken down in the stomach and intestines into extremely small molecules. These molecules are absorbed into tiny tubules in the intestinal wall and then pass through these tubes into the blood stream.
The blood circulates throughout your body carrying these food molecules and other nutrients, along with critical immune defense and regulating elements such as red and white blood cells, antibodies, plasma, microscopic proteins, hormones, enzymes, etc., which are all manufactured at different locations in the body.
As the blood circulates, it passes through the liver where toxins are removed and later excreted from the body in the form of solid waste. Eventually, this now purified "cleaned" blood makes its way to the kidneys. When blood enters the kidneys it is filtered through an immensely complex and intricate system of minute tubules called nephron through which the blood is literally "squeezed" at high pressure. This filtering process removes excess amounts of water, salts and other elements in the blood that your body does not need at the time.
These excess elements are collected within the kidney in the form of a purified, sterile, watery solution called urine. Many of the constituents of this filtered watery solution, or urine, are then reabsorbed by the nephron and delivered back into the bloodstream. The remainder of the urine passes out of the kidneys into the bladder and is then excreted from the body.
The function of the kidneys is to keep the various elements in your blood balanced. When your body doesn't need something at a particular time, it is excreted - not because it is toxic or poisonous or bad for the body, but simply because the body does not need that particular element at the time.
Medical researchers have discovered that many of the elements of the blood that are found in urine have enormous medicinal value, and when reintroduced to the body, they boost the body's immune defenses and stimulate healing in a way that nothing else does.
A Nutrient Rich Powerhouse
Stories have been told of individuals who have both lived and died by being trapped in places without food and water for days. Those that survived did so because they drank their own urine, those that perished did not. The ones that died probably could not overcome the mis-informed thoughts that urine is a waste product of the body. It's not. It's just a substance the body secretes that contains elements not needed at the time.
Despite what you may have been led to believe about urine, pharmaceutical companies have grossed billions of dollars from the sale of drugs made from urine constituents. Research is happening every day in labs attempting to isolate specific elements of urine so they can create new drugs and patent the substances. For instance, Pergonal is a fertility drug made from human urine. 1992 sales of this drug were reported at $855 million while it costs a patient $1400 a month to consume. Urokinase, a urine ingredient, is used in drug form and sold as a miracle blood clot dissolver for unblocking coronary arteries. Urea, medically proven to be one of the best moisturizers in the world, is packaged in expensive creams and lotions. Take the M out of Murine eye drops and what do you have? Yep. It's made from carbamide - another name for synthetic urea.
A Powerful Healer
To get some understanding of how urine can be such a powerful healing substance in and of itself, let's take a look at how urine therapy has been known to completely eliminate allergies.
Researchers have discovered that allergic responses are caused by "renegade" white blood cells that inappropriately attack substances even when they may be no threat to the body. So it is the activity of these renegade white blood cells, called antigen receptors, that needs to be corrected in order to cure the allergy.
Realizing that the urine of allergic individuals contains the allergy causing antigen receptors, researchers thought that to re-introduce the urine back to the allergic individual would mean antibodies would be produced which would then stop the allergic response. And that is exactly what happens. Allergies have been completely turned around with urine therapy.
Using urine in this way to cure the allergy, is one form of isopathic treatment. You're using the same substance that is causing the allergy, to be reintroduced to the body to have the body manufacture its own antibody to it. If you grasp this point, you may be able to see the ability of this therapy to be used in just about any illness the body may experience.
Furthering the Isopathic Approach
To take this isopathic idea a bit further, let's come back to the teaching of Acharyaji and the biological perspective. As you'll recall, Acharyaji developed remedies that were based on the observations that how we get sick is a function of the blood pH getting thrown off causing microbes in the blood to grow into pathogenicity. His biological remedies involved re-introducing the small colloids of life, or the protits, back into the body to mate with the pathogenic forms so they would de-evolve back into a non-pathogenic state. This is what you could call a bit of biological brilliance.
Now let's take this idea in relation to urine therapy and expand it to meet this biological framework. Urine therapy has been able to cure seemingly incurable disease states. Why is that? Well here's an idea. The colloids in your blood that are the protits/somatids, are very small particles. In fact they are so small as to be unfilterable by something like the kidneys. Though researchers haven't been looking, it is probable that one of the constituents of urine are these colloid particles that naturally just get passed through the kidneys out of the blood. When one consumes their own urine through the process of urine therapy, they are receiving a dose of these pure colloids. These biologically proceed to support the immune function, and quite possibly lead to taking the pathogenic microbes in the blood back down to apathogenic states. In this way, urine truly becomes the body's own perfect medicine.
Open Minds Can Open Doors
Don't take this therapy lightly. Multiple sclerosis, colitis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, hepatitis, hyperactivity, pancreatic insufficiency, psoriasis, eczema, diabetes, herpes, acne, mononucleosis, adrenal failure, allergies and so many other ailments have been relieved through use of this therapy. After you overcome your initial gag response (I know I had one), you will realize that something big is going on, and if you are searching for health, this is an area to investigate. There are numerous reports and double blind studies which go back to the turn of the century supporting the efficacy of using urine for health.
The recurring points to all of the medical research done to date on urine indicates that it is completely sterile. If it becomes contaminated it happens after it leaves the body. Urine is a by-product of blood filtration, not waste filtration.
Urine contains compounds that are very specific to the individual from which it comes. It is antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antineoplastic (anticancer), anticonvulsive, and antispasmodic. It is totally non-toxic.
With research that could fill volumes, you may be wondering why you haven't heard of this before. Well, urine is abundant (everyone has their own supply), it's free, and it can't be controlled by the FDA. Reasons enough?
How to Do It
Very briefly, here are two ways to do urine therapy. This is in no way a complete discussion of how to use the therapy, but simply an introduction.
1) Use your own urine in a homeopathic fashion.
First, collect midstream urine in a clean cup or container. This should be a clean catch, meaning the genital area (important for women in particular) has been cleaned beforehand. To 1/6 ounce of distilled water in a sterile bottle, add one drop of fresh urine. Cap and shake 50 times. Take one drop of this mix and add to another 1/6 ounce of distilled water and shake 50 times. Take one drop of this mix and add to 1/6 oz. of 80 to 90 proof vodka which acts as a preservative.
Place three drops under the tongue hourly until there is obvious improvement or temporary exacerbation of symptoms. As improvement progresses, lengthen the interval between treatments. After 3 days, suspend treatment to avoid pushing the immune system. Treatment is resumed if progress remains static or relapse occurs.
2) Begin with oral drops then increase dosage as needed.
Use fresh urine drops direct. For some cases, sub-lingual drops work well.
(Should always use fresh urine immediately upon collection. You should not boil or dilute the urine in any way. You must use it in its natural form)
Start by taking 1-5 drops of morning urine on the first day. On the second day, take 5-10 drops in the morning. On the third day, take 5-10 drops in the morning, and the same amount in the evening before you go to bed.
Once you feel accustomed to the therapy, gradually increase the amount as needed for obtaining results for your condition. As you use the therapy, you will learn to adjust the amount you need by observing your reactions to the therapy. It may be that you'll work up to actually drinking an ounce or two at a time.
Hmmm..I think that some people are taking the piss!
Mwhahaha...geez, I'm so funny, init!
:D
