Good News! =]

hey guys!
sorry im gonna write this one VERy quickly but ive gotta say ive been happier than a long time. Im leaving the house soon so I gotta do this in a hurry!

but for the past almost month, I've been taking 3 BIG spoonfuls of good quality milled flax seed! =]

oh my have i seen an improvement. within the first day my chest bumps were reduced 80%? yes.
90% now
and my arms are 50% better and overall 80% improvement there

my cheek's bumps are going away too! and i dont flush anymore! but i figured out my trigger! sun sensitivity due to my current accutane treatment and previously when i got flushes on my cheeks was due to a high strength retin-a.

well glad its all solved! i have my life back. im dry as can be and NO return of KP. I miss days of moisturizing and continue to improve. I REALLY think it has to do with Omega-3! remember we all get enough Omega 6 and you need to get the same or more of omega-3 to balance it out. oh and leg bumps are gone too. yayy

this is just great im so happy right now where i am and i hope u all can be so lucky! im blessed with my life and little by little im getting it back and getting my confidence. my acne flared TERRIBLY this month on accutane but its getting better along with the rest of me.

how i know it's not the 'tane clearing my KP is my KP stayed the same during the first month of treatment and the beginning of the second. then i decided to try the flax and immediately i saw results. dont think its a coincidence! well you guys are all great and if it wasnt for this site i would have never tried this treatment! so thank you all!!!!!! and i will be back to update as i continue to improve. Id say A year for my skin to get totally back to normal. the red marks after the KP also fade after weeks of being unclogged or w/e.

and if you are trying to flax seed/omega fatty acid approach remember, and you can look it up for yourself: DONT take omega 6. i did and it was the reason i didnt see results. go for the omega 3 only like flax seed oil and walnuts etc. it is NOT risky taking omega 3 in high doses however taking the others IS because they are inflammitories.

good luck in your control of this presky thing! i hope u all find relief and PM me if u want anymore info!

Hi Wilson,

How wonderful that omega 3 in flax seeds is helping you. For anyone else who wants to try Wilson's remedy for KP, there are other ways to get omega 3, in addition to ground flax seeds. Cold water fish, like wild salmon and sardines twice a week, or 1/4 cup of walnuts daily, or an omega 3 supplement.

Ground flax seeds become rancid very quickly. They should be freshly ground daily. An inexpensive coffee grinder does a good job of this.
