HELP ME PLEASE!

i am a few months into my process, with just a few left and im feeing very discouraged i havent been able to find any experiences of others and it would really make me feel better. if you or anyone you know of has cured their acne with the help of a naturopathic doctor, or just have any positive feedback, i would appreciate it soo much. thank you!
 
Well I've been seeing a Naturopathic Doctor for several years and I have had nothing but good experiences. My acne is a result of having polycystic ovary syndrome - so my first recommendation would be to make sure all of your hormones are in check.

Also, make sure you are aware of what you are eating. Your diet can have a HUGE impact on what your skin looks like.

I recently started using a product called "Yin Care" - it is an herbal face wash and so far it's working quite well. You can buy it online if you wanted to try it out.

Sometimes figuring out what works best for your body takes a little while - don't get discouraged and don't give up!

What exactly does your cleansing program consist of? I am quite familiar with cleansing programs but have never heard of one lasting six months. Has your doctor mentioned doing any type of hormone balancing to even your hormones out? Do you know if your hormone levels were too low or too high? That could be the root cause of your problems. Keep your head up - things will get better!
 
Do you know what hormone levels were higher than they should be (ie estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, FSH, LH, etc?). I've never heard of an ovarian cyst causing colon problems.

Also, as far as I am aware of, the largest part of liver cleansing has to do with eating a completely anti-inflammatory diet, using supplements to enhance liver detoxification, using deep breathing and relaxation, etc. Are you taking any amino acid supplements, they are crucial in detoxifying the liver. I am a pre-medicine student so I have a bit of background in this stuff.

You mentioned Leaky Gut Syndrome. Were you having any stomach symptoms when your doctor diagnosed you with this? As far as I am aware, Leaky Gut is treated with a diet very low in yeast (no gluten, no dairy, no caffeine, very limited sugar intake, etc.) Are you following anything like this?

Out of curiosity, do you know if your doctor is a "naturopath" or a "naturopathic doctor"? I ask because there is a huge difference in their level of education and some of the stuff your doctor is telling you sounRAB a little bit off.
