deoxyribose's Journal

My computer came back. They said there was nothing wrong with it. I guess shipping it to them was an expesive version of picking it up and shaking it. At least they didn't charge me anything and if someting goes wrong in the next three months they will not charge for any repairs. It could alos be that it was a loose wire and they just secured it when they opened it to investigate. It wouldn't turn on so there is no way there wasn't an issue. Just strange.

I've been off Accutane for two and a half months now and the extreme breakout that occured is starting to get better. The texture of my skin is still very uneven and I hope it gets better and doesn't advance to more white and black heads. I think my body just needs to figure out how to reregulate cell proliferation because it has been disabled for so long by the medication. I will keep avoiding unnatural chemical products for my hair, face and body and hope that helps speed the process. If nothing else works I am willing to get a chemical filter for the shower and see if that doesn't do the trick. A lot of people get acne from the chlorine and flouride and don't even know it. Also from the sulfates in bath and body products. 

I am also doing one detoxing treatment a day to help my liver remove the accutane etc, and I also take a multivitamin + mineral and omega 3 and a hight quality probiotic. Another thing I thought of is taking the herbal equivalent to antibiotics, which is oregano oil. It does appear to help, but I need to find one that won't upset my stomch so much. Also I am taking epsom salt and tea tree oil baths to dry out the pimples a bit and to help my skin detox. The last thing I do is use Vitamin E oil instead of moisturizer on my face and neck and chest. It helps with healing and disinfecting as well as hydration. So far, these things seem to be helping.
