Arachidic acid, Vaccenic acid, and Nervonic acid.
I am deficient in all of those according to a quest diagnostic test.
Does anyone have experience with those?
From what I can tell- Arachidic acid- eat more peanuts, peanut butter
vaccenic acid- eat more dairy fat, butter, etc
nervonic acid-...
My free estradiol was slightly above the reference range. What is free estradiol? What can I do to lower it?
I began taking DIM, I seem to loose some bloat and sweat less, as strange as that sounds.
My concern is that I cannot take this long term, making it a poor option.
Any suggestions?
No, inflammation is a process that is involved in all forms of acne. Any time there is redness there is inflammation to varying degrees. The increase in sebum caused by androgens simply gives the bacteria an environment to thrive in, and then the body reacts to it from there.

I had a hand in producing this article. The root cause of acne is inflammation, not excessive sebum production.
No man I never said that. I am simply saying that these other factors generally cause and are the result of an increased oxidative load. I do believe that consuming adequate antioxidants over time would alleviate most peoples acne considerably.
According to the study results that were released this past december: if you take nacetylcysteine for 2 months your acne will decrease by 50% (at the end of the 2 months). Acne may decrease even more if continued after the 2 months. Acne is correlated with blood glutathione levels.
and also oxidative stress is associated with depression and anxiety among other things, so by simply taking accutane you may be treating the outer problem while ignoring an inner mental problem that is even greater.
Depending on the results obtained by this study, it can be
concluded that oxidative stress and inflammation exist in patients with
acne vulgaris and may be considered as contributing factors involved
in the aetiopathogenesis of the disease. Administration of Silymarin,
N-Acetylcysteine and...
haha that is funny as hell that severe acne means you are well on your way to getting jacked. inflammation is correlated with acne, and is a cause of it. interleukin 8 blood levels are correlated with acne, and low glutathione levels are correlated with acne. If you can increase glutathione...
So what are the other factors? I realize that excess oil secretion is one but that is not bad in itself. If there is sufficient antioxidant function in the sebum then acne wont occur. Sure it is a higher load but it is possible to attain.
