I don't have time to debate the many problems with Raw Foods diet claims. I'll just leave it at this: Just about every claim I've heard from these people has turned out to be either completely false or exaggerated. Apply some critical thought to whatever you hear. No, it doesn't "detoxify"...

Oh, and raw food vegan diets don't cause pimples to disappear. Not typically anyway. They're as spotty as the general population. What's more, raw food vegans tend to do slightly worse compared to cooked food vegans in terms of chronic degenerative diseases. It's not a cure for cancer, either. Or an...

Robbin, you're assuming that only recently in man's history have we started having lots of acne. That assumption is incorrect. Acne has been well documented throughout the past 2 millenium. It's just that we didn't have photographs until the late 1800's. Before then, portraits of people were painted...

I prefer the ZZ cream. Seems to work better. But XFML probably would work by itself. Why aren't you doing them both? The normal treatment is ZZ at night and XFML in the morning (washing before applying either). I had redness and itching on my neck from XFML. Apparently I'm slightly allergic to it. I...

Re: Sulphur soap and itching?

While waiting for my zz to arrive I have been using a soap that I picked up at my local health food store that is marketed for acne. The soap has sulphur in it. The first two days nothing interesting happened, however this morning I woke up with my face significantly flushed! Aside from that I have...

You want the one with metronidazole. That's the "treatment" version of Xin Fumanling cream. There's another type of Xin Fumanling cream without metronidazole, and that's the "maintenance" version (for when you're already clear).

Re: How long???

When you start this regime how long does it usally take to see a positive change?? Thanks, For acne or rosacea? I don't know about rosacea, but I do have experience with using the products for acne. It depends on who does it. But figure on at least 3 months. And most likely you'll have to go throug...

Not sure which sunscreen would be best. They all tend to moisturize a little. I'd say just go to a local store and pick up a few cheap bottles of different kinds of sunscreen and see which one you like best. Don't use sunscreen that combines AHA's or BHA's with it. Those just irritate the skin. Just...

Nancy, you know that metrogel contains only a small fraction the percentage of metronidazole in XFML? XFML packs a bigger punch. Consider using it.

Re: Cats or Mites? Or both?

I have a question...we have two cats, one long haired the other short haired. The thing is, every time that I hold them I end up getting the itchies!!! I notice it much more when I hold the longer haired cat. If he touches my face or my arms I itch like crazy! I have never had an allergy to cats be...

Re: Family and friends

If this is all true, and these little critters are what is causing all the trouble, how in the heck does one disinfect their entire family? I have a daughter that has little bumps on her nose and another daughter that is prone to skin rashes. Could this be the cause of all our problems? What do I d...

I thought Fulio did moisturize well enough. It was good. The only problem is its smell. It smells strongly of cloves. I'd be sort of embarassed to wear it out in public, because people might think I smoke clove cigarettes or something. Hahaha.

You might want to try Xin Fumanling with metronidazole. I think metronidazole is prescribed for rosacea. And XFML is good as a moisturizer. You could use it in the morning instead of ZZ.

And 5 weeks is too soon to see any improvement.

Robbin, You just have to be careful about what touches your face, that's all. During the initial 3-5 month clearing period, if I were you, I would try to ensure that nothing touched my face. That means pets, kids, clothes, your own fingers, your own hair, etc. That's difficult to do, but try to mini...
