Also, it says on the package to consult your Dr if you are pregnant or nursing...the coconut oil hasn't helped my hands anyway. thanks. Congratulations! You will probably get a little worse before you get better since your body will automatically go into detox mode to keep your fetus safe. I cannot believe your doctor told you not to eat coconut oil while pregnant!!! How does he think Pacific Islanders have survived for hundreds of thousands of years eating coconut everyday? Geez. I am amazed at the things that come out of these peoples mouths. Coconut oil is found in baby formula! It is fed to invalids, infants and the sick because it is easy to digest and helps fight infection while nourishing the body. If I were you, I'd get a new OB/GYN.

I had trouble finding it the last couple of times I looked, but this time the health food store had some, he said it was hard to keep stocked as there has been a lot of write ups recently about it. I haven't noticed any difference. But I am not ingesting it...only putting on my hands at night with socks on my hands...I've been afraid to put any on my face. I just found out I am pregnant and my Dr. said I can use it as long as I don't ingest any...I also thought being pregnant would be a miracle cure (at least so I have heard) but I am having more trouble with my blotchy face and bad eczema on my hands. I know my body is going through alot of changes so it's hard, but I was hopiing for some relief!

You may as well wrap your face in plastic wrap. Vaseline forms an occlusive membrane on the skin that suffocates it, not allowing toxins or co2 to pass out or oxygen and nutrients to come in. Blotchiness can be caused by a number of things and it may be difficult to pin down the cause, unless you have changed something in your routine lately. If you are looking for a protective coating for your skin, mix virgin organic olive oil with coconut oil 50/50. The olive oil will not sink in as quickly and thoroughly as the coconut oil and will leave a protective film on the skin. The coconut oil will penetrate and help the healing process.

I've been rading a lot about it, it has really helped several patients. I realize that it is EXTREMLY expensive and long term effects have not been studied, but laser therapy has been known to be non-invasive and safe. I was wondering if anyone took this treatment for active acne and if they benefited from it. I am really tired of trying things to better my system to cure my acne, but it is pretty obvious that my skin <!--more--> is still not happy ! I am strongly considering laser treatment, and even though its expensive, if it delivers, i may go for it. it would be great if you all could give me some advice.. thanks - sid ADVERTISEMENT _____ Sid,

Rose -------Original Message------- Sid, Yes, non-ablative, or cold lasers such as the N Lite have been successful in treating a variety of skin conditions. However, they are expensive treatmentsthat are only a temporary fix to a chronic, WHOLE PERSON problem. Until you address all the issues (nutritional, emotional/spiritual, topical products, internal cleansing), you will NEVER get permanent results. I wish you luck, and encourage you to keep trying! This skin condition was sent your way for a reason. There are things you need to learn about your body <!--more--> and about yourself as a whole person in order to heal the acne. Then, through the process of doing this, you will learn so many valuable lessons that you will literally become a different person. That's what happened to me many years ago, and I am so grateful to my old friend acne for FORCING me to better my health, emotionally, spiritually and physically. Otherwise, I never would have changed a thing and would not be who I am now. Sorry for rambling! Carisa,

Regarding laser treatments for acne, I recommend a book by Dr. Perricone as he is a Dermatologist and writes that acne and eczema are inflammatory conditions. He has several books out, but if you do a search, I'm sure you will find it. He often gives lectures on PBS stations. Check it out, I'm sure you will learn plenty.
