Thank you for this information for everyone. To share my story briefly about acne, i am now struggling with acne for more than a month now for the first time. I have always had clear skin and usually i only get 1 or 2 pimples before my period but my acne this time didnt even start at that period. And as i invrstigated on this, i theorized that it might have been caused by my chronic stress recently (4 months of heavy duty at a project with overtime. I felt so stressed and acted bipolar over time. So I resigned from my job to heal myself. ) that might have destroyed the good bacteria in my gut microbiome (it wasnt only on my face btw, it was all over my body too. My arms were covered in red bumps. In retrospect, i might have been having an autoimmume response.) So i decided to take some yoghurt, and it honestly worked like a miracle. After eating 1/2 cup of plain yoghurt flavored with some cocoa powder and honey, i noticed my acne didnt feel inflamed anymore. Theyre still there but they dont hurt when you touvh them. So now i eat yoghurt regularly. My acne is still here but not as bad as prior to taking probiotics.

VIDEO SUMMARY (note-taking; writing this for people who have difficulty focusing on long videos like this) A. Mistakes 1) Scrubbing your face with cleansers. DON'T SCRUB! 2) Antibiotics. It kills off the good bacteria along with the bad ones, creating evil strains for your skin. 3) Accutane. Too many side effects. Risky. TIP: Find out what's really causing the problem B. Sebaceous Glands Situation #1: Extra tissue being formed. A little flake. Dryness. Situation #2: Plugged pores. Situation #3: Inflammation. Situation #4: Unfriendly bacteria feeding off of the oil called sebum Situation #5: Large gland It's very highly sensitive to hormones, specifically Androgens and Estrogen. It's estrogen-related when: 1) During menstruation, it gets worse. The ovaries pumping out too much estrogen. C. Androgen One form: Testosterone Pumping out too much Androgen produces so much sebum and increases the size of the gland. Causes: puberty, PCOS, menopause Common symptoms for PCOS: hair loss (alopecia), acne, deeper voice What causes PCOS? - High levels of insulin (insulin resistance). - Too much of a certain enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. One major reason for this is: Vitamin A deficiency. TIP: Take Vitamin A in the form of extraversion cod liver oil. Other Vitamins: 1) B5 - works well with Vitamin A; helps reduce acne, another remedy to solve the "certain enzyme" problem 2) Zinc - powerful for getting rid of acne D. Estrogen Causes: Liver dysfunction (not eliminating the bad estrogen), high blood pressure medications, antibiotics, alcohol, heartburn medications, anti-depressants REMEMBER: These situations may not be isolated from each other. You can have insulin resistance that's causing the liver dysfunction. SOLUTION: Start eating healthier! 1) Cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mustard plant and similar green leaf vegetables. 2) DIM, a super concentrated version of cruciferous vegetables. 3) Stinging nettle root, a plant.

But what do you tell your client when she takes vitamins (always have), doesn’t have any hormonal problems, has tried everything with the dermatologist (laser), and every cream from the pharmacy makes it worse to the point I’ve been prescribed to Roaccutane. How do you deal with it in any other way? Sometimes there are not many things left to do. I was really sceptical starting Roaccutane regarding every video, article and study I've read but I simply cannot keep going with every cream doctors suggest me without realising how sensitive my skin is (and I don't have any idea why the creams from the pharmacy not only don't work for me but made me a lot worse)

Luna Volin I cut out dairy and limited my sugar and I stuck to products for sensitive skin. I am also of colour and can’t use a lot on my face since a lot of things can burn me.

[@iouliatsitanava2931]

@@alice3548 I get it, because I experience the same reaction, and I am happy that it is working for you. The thing is I am vegan, and I don't use sugar for years now. I followed dermatologists I went to a couple, the only thing that has worked for me, that I haven't had a reaction to it, is Paula’s Choice liquid exfoliant. Even though I have super sensitive skin, it worked, and it's the one that I can put without causing me more sensitivity and irritation. My dermatologist, however, told me it's too harsh, and shouldn't use it. She prescribed me a cream from the pharmacy. It made my skin four times worse, and I am not even exaggerating, she was surprised, and she told me to try another one. It didn't make me much worse, but it didn't make me better either, and they both were for sensitive skin. Because I had a second bad experience, I am taking Roaccutane now. Sometimes things don't work, my skin has an irritation to everything from the pharmacy specifically, I started using my Paula’s Choice again, for a while, and it did some damage control, but I can't say after everything I read and everything that I saw that I regret starting the pill, simply because I cannot have a roller coaster experience with my skin for months, while I am seeing a dermatologist and especially when it makes me much worse. It is overwhelming, and all the pills have side effects so you should be careful, but if it gives me a fresh start I am here for it, simply because I cannot keep going to a dermatologist, and come back only worse, because of the products they prescribed me.

Like you, in my early 20's I didnt have much of choice-which is why my dermatologist recommended accutane. My question to you is, did you suffer any side effects from accutane that were long lasting like me? Also, how many years has it been since accutane?

After watching a few if your acne videos, 30 years of suffering with terrible inflammatory extremely painful cystic acne, blackheads, whiteheads, pustules and horribly oily skin (on multiple areas of my body not just my face!) I have now been able to finally pinpoint the cause. Food intolerance. NO DAIRY SUGAR OR GLUTEN on a Carnivore-Keto diet and my skin is almost 100% improved within 3 weeks!!!! I have been to countless doctors and skin specialists and spent thousands of dollars on products and treatments trying to remedy this and couldn't get the help or advice I needed!

When I suffered with acne as a teen I was told diet didn''t matter, but don't eat chocolate. Washing your face in vital and if you don't you caused your pimples. Then I found a book 'Acne can be cured" written by a skin doctor. He recommended staying away fro hard fats found in red meats, butter and margarine. Oils that remained liquid at room temperature was fine. That diet helped greatly, and adding brewers yeast led to greater improvement. He got his info from an Italian grand mother who complained instead of eating olive oil with bread her granddaughter used butter and margarine and got a face full of pimples,.

Just cutting out dairy is sometimes not enough. Especially if you're consuming sports products or any snack bars or breads/rolls etc - almost all of which has whey protein (from cow milk) or milk solids - even the healthiest smoothies and shakes can cause acne. You might be thinking you're having the healthiest diet but it depends how your body reacts to it. For instance, if you have high insulin or insulin resistance but dont know about it - an innocent morning smoothie with non-dairy milk and fruits can trigger bad acne because of fructose and sugar in that smoothie. So its really important what you put into your body. Or it could be toxicity of the food, or other hormonal imbalances. Also, it took me 3 months to see improvement in my skin after quitting all dairy products, so it's not an overnight thing. it takes long. Same if I eat something with cow milk - i will break out couple of days later. And I'm not milk intolerant and all of the allergy tests were negative, yet still I react on cows milk. Read Lara Briden's blog on milk and how it triggers acne.

I am going to relate an issue that might be indicative for some people here. When I was a baby, I had a wheat and dairy allergy, so my allergist helped my dad find me soy formula, at Chicago Dietetic (this was in the late 50's, early 60's). There were NO health food stores, just places like that for diabetics, and folks with allergies. I drank soy formula and then soy milk powder made into milk. (I am an adoptee, so my mom didn't breast feed me.) Soy is highly estrogenic, and now, I've read studies that say giving soy to a youngster is like giving an equivalent of 1/3-1/2 dose of birth control pill (by today's standards). I matured very early for my day (age 9 onset of menses) and had problems all my life with my monthly cycle. I didn't have cystic acne, but the regular acne, again, with scrubbing, antibiotics, sunlamp treatments which my skin doctor gave me. (I had a skin doctor and allergist from young teen through college years.) Now, I am happy to be post-menopausal, but want to tell the moms out there, watch out with soy milk, it is a "good protein" but since the estrogenic effects are so high, it's safer drinking another type of milk, coconut milk, hemp milk, something other than soy. It's just too dangerous, but my generation did not know about the risks, and were the guinea pigs.

"i’ve suffered from pcos for 10 years (i’m 23 now) and they recently did a test to determine whether i was insulin resistant. apparently i’m not but cutting out sugar and refined carbs was the only thing that helped me" I suffer from PCOS and i'm 47. You should also check your cortisol levels. High cortisol messes up hormones.

I watched millions of Acne videos. This one's gotta be the best.

[@Drberg]

Thanks much! Appreciate that.

Suffered with hormonal adult acne for years, started taking daily dose of collagen peptides 6 months ago and my skin has never been better!

[@rhyka101]

if you are less than 75kg, try 25mg of zinc everyday with breakfast or another meal (best to eat right before/after a meal) for 14 days. If your acne improves keep using. If it doesn't, stop. If you are over 75kg, try 30mg zinc.

[@animatedmvs8818]

Thanks man

[@melissah.2393]

I've always had slight acne, not all over my face but always a few spots some really painful on my face as well as blackheads all over, I'm in my 30s so I thought "Come On! When will ths stop!!?" Well I quit "washing" my face with soap and quit using moisturizer so often. I found microfiber towels at the Dollar Tree 2 for $1, and I use that with warm water, it oulls the oils out of the blackheads and it even takes off my makeup. Its great. My face has been much clearer!!!

Eric Berg no problem! Keep up the good work and the great videos!

More importantly he is explaning the mechanism that causes acne. Eliminating dairy wont work for everyone.

Baltazar Santiago : But eliminating sugar will.

I produce a huge amount of DHT which causes me both acne and hairloss. I think you just solve two of my problems doc. Thanks! 🖒

@@sanjanaagarwal6194 Nothing helps with hair loss except Propecia may slow the loss. It won't grow any new hair though. 20mg of zinc and drinking distilled water really helped with the acne

[@sanjanaagarwal6194]

@@Herbie11 ok that was helpful! Also I’m a female! Been taking finast but totally against the side effects- besides that’s not actually treating the cause! I’ll try out what Dr. Berg says! And kinda looking into homeopathy (there won’t be side effects at least!)

[@rebeka145]

Great video! I went on accutane only 3 months for mild but persistent acne. It clearned my skin and pores completely, but it came right after I stopped taking it. My acne isnt as bad but in reverse it gave me bad chest acne :( I have definitely symptoms of high androgen levels I will try your methods. I also would like to add that another cause of "acne" look can be fungus - candida, yeast, mucus. Im taking my food intolerance tests soon to see if i can find my acne triggers too. Good luck everyone out there !

Did you try his method and did it help you? I really would like to know.

So I read up on symptoms of a vitamin A deficit and I can relate to most of them. I will buy some cod liver oil and keep you updated if it works for me or not. Thanks for making this video, highly informative! Please like and reply to this comment so I remember to come back.

Wow!! I never knew why my acne would show up on one side of my face and then the other!! So cool. Thanks for all this info!!

[@rickyplayspool]

If anyone knows the answers to these questions I would appreciate it greatly: 1. Vita A, B5, and Zinc all work to lower the conversion of testosterone in DHT - why do we need all three of them, rather than 1, if they all do the same thing? Do they each hit it from a different angle or something like this? Also, at what point would taking all three of them begin to have detrimental effects? 2. rather than supplementing vitamin A, would raising vitamin A levels through dietary intake (for example by including beef liver in your diet) have the same effect? 3. Is it advisable to do any sort of face care, e.g., a light cleanser with some sort of moisturiser? 4. I read that DHT either causes or is positively associated with hair loss, specifically in men. Would undertaking these steps for high-androgen acne prevention also have a potential positive effect on hair loss in men? Thanks

Fasting clears acne 🍀

[@anitaknight3915]

@Adam O'Shea I did long water fasts and it cleared by skin. Then eating certain things gives me hormonal acne.

[@catherinegoulet4263]

I do and nope.

[@torgrimhanssen5100]

@Adam O'Shea It is a misconception, it is not the fasting that reduces acne but the reduction in insulin. The problem with most diets is that you get significant spikes in insulin at a regular interval preventing your body from "resting" In general, making sure you eat within a 12 hour window (one cheat day a week works). I myself had great effect from going ketogenic fasting for 16h a day, but upholding such a diet when you often don't have access to a kitchen is impossible as you will not find keto foods in dumb country.
