The punchline

After looking over the stats of this blog to rid acne, it’s become painfully obvious to me that a fair share of readership is coming from the great north expanse known as America’s 51 st state–Canada. The Canucks have forced me to readjust my entire outlook going forward.

Readers may start seeing more shout outs to puckchaser greats of yore like Gordy Howe, Bobby Orr, Eddie Shore, Wayne Gretzky, Red Kelly (the original R. Kelly, but without the legal problems) and Maurice Richard. This homage to old school hockey will be sudden, swift and severe. It may even cause a kerfuffle or two. You may see the tone of this blog shift to covering minor league hockey and the focus of a post or ten fixating on ice fishing, moose wresting and the top ten curling shots of the 2000s.

This will be done to reflect the needs and wants of the readership and will allow me to take on sponsors like any number of skookum Canadian beer companies. There may come a time in the near future when you see a banner for such a beer brand and forget this blog used to target the teenage geared skin care acne niche. Darwin always said it’s not the strongest or smartest that survives, but the most adaptable.

Acne vaccine apocalypse of tomorrow or: Why I learned to stop worrying and love all those clear skinned zombies!

Acne Vaccine, acne cure, how to cure acne, best acne cure info, acne miracle cure — Is this how to cure acne? Will an acne cure work?

This is one of those damned if you do, damned if you even think about it articles. An acne cure? For real? How about an acne vaccine? The subject of vaccines inspires passion, polarization and precious little middle ground. The very mention of the topic does more to stir up people than most. Passions fly. Arguments ensue. Civility takes a flying leap.

Well, I’m going to do my best to keep the beehive sedate. I’m not here to find middle ground or stir the anthill to action. I’m here to drop a few facts, offer up some hilarious reflections and maybe get you to see some videos or something. If at the end, you are lesser informed than before you entered, consider yourself forewarned. Kidding.

Can dairy cause acne? The relationship between diet, dairy and acne.

Does dairy cause acne?

I can’t concur enough about looking into interlinking role between diet, dairy and acne. In later posts, I’ll go into some interesting ideas for researching treatments but in essence most remedies are responses to the symptoms and not a bead on the cause or source. For me, diet played an overwhelming role in the cure, as my cystic acne outlived adolescence and thrived into adulthood.

Starting with dairy, I found that the elimination of certain food items made a profound difference in the condition, which in turn led to greater control. At first, I kept thinking no, there must be some mistake. My doctor, dermatologist along with conventional medical wisdom was most assure that I could crush pizzas buffets without abandon, devour sweets in epic amounts, consume chocolate in excess, and quaff gallons of milk with little or no bearing on my condition.

Well, they weren’t encouraging the excess part but they did seem to think that acne from dairy in the diet had nothing to do with my pimple turmoil. It was in all probability hormonal and whether I ate pounds of veggies or a bag of candy, the results would stay somewhat consistent and steady.

Acne and stress

Can stress cause acne? One issue that tends to get glossed over is the emotional aspect of acne anxiety. Acne and anxiety go together hand in hand. Many suffers are teenagers and emotions are already bubbling up and over like a super volcano waiting to go boom.

Stress plus hormones (Hormone blog post) and rapid life changes equals massive upheaval. This acne and stress axis is only beginning to be understood. I mention this to remind adults that bad acne vulgaris and acne rosacea can have severe and devastating impacts on a person’s psyche and that it’s not merely a rite of passage and easy burden to brush off.
