Strange similarities among those with Seborrheic Dermatitis

[@andrewadams9787]

I just came across this and you are right on point with what you have to say. It resonates with me clearly. I hope you will put out more stuff. Thank you

[@ytonyt5237]

This resonates with me. Why? Cus I’m a stressful person. I see people on Reddit talking about how they cured their SD by going out in the sun or swimming in the ocean. They then attribute their recovery to the Sun increasing vitamin levels or the salty minerals in the ocean fighting off their SD. They don’t realise these activities are massive stress relievers. I myself am only seeing this now. I was one of them not too long ago. I’ve found deep breathing helps calm me down. Slowly but surely I’m calming myself down and intern, my immune system and nervous system.

[@DMU101]

Great video! Everything you covered resonated with my story. I have had SD for 40 years, but I have been largely symptom-free after taking evening primrose oil. I started taking 2,000 mg daily and after 4 - 6 weeks, my symptoms disappeared. I have been taking this dose every day for 15 years. Now, to address the nervous system...

[@Suptski]

This is the most profound video I have ever watched on this subject and I have suffered this disease for 10 years - since I was 16, am 26 now. You sir are a precious soul. So much of what you said resonates with me. I always wondered why statistically speaking seb derm is quite rare and I practically never see anyone in the wild suffering from this disorder and yet my father has it, my brother recently developed it. Both of my best friends have or have had skin disorders of all kinds: eczema, cystic acne, rosacea. Both of my sisters also suffer from acne well past the age where they are expected to have it, just like myself. Come to think of it, every single friend I have ever had has suffered from some kind of health and or psychological problem rarely seen in the general population. We ALL have come from broken families. Having one alcoholic parent being something I have in common with my two closest buddies, for example. I always found it simultaneously funny and sad that my seb derm tends to go into remission whenever I shut myself in completely, subsist of whatever junk food I crave at the moment and play video games however much I want. Now I think I understand why that would be (limiting external stressors). This was in my early 20's and teenage years, I no longer engage in these behaviours. The only thing that has consistently worked for me is Selsun (selenium sulfide) but man I hate doing this band-aid treating the symptoms thing. Never sat right with me. God bless.

[@juliendiemer9]

Thank you for your comment! When you throw caution to the wind, do whatever you want and not even calculate the consequences, you're more likely to be in the parasympathetic state (rest and digest), and temporarily adapt thought patterns (and their respective frequencies) of someone who does not have SD, which would probably explain that phenomenon. That doesn't necessarily mean we would always want to do that, for obvious reasons. It's about balance and moderation, something that those with SD generally have a hard time with, including myself! - going to extremes while throwing other aspects of our health and life under the rug. All there is to do is become aware of these correlations, take responsibility and change what needs to be changed, and continuously work on improving psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual health, as these four parts of ourselves are dependent on each other. You really can't have one without the others.

[@anon8730]

Your're one of a kind, this speak to my heart and felt like it the same way. Stress for me is the main factor and indeed the phase of going into adolescense was traumatizing and when it all started. Highly sensitive. I recently quit my job what felt initially liberating gave me stress, uncertainty ,the feeling of failing negative self talk, not knowing the next step, overall feeling uneasy with the situation and what do you know, huge flair ups in my face. Also went to New Zealand for a year and it flared up more. My first backpack trip to Hawaii, the same. But what to do, these uncertainties will keep happening in live. Is it possible that it might has to do how we approaches the uncertain situations internally. I mean learning to be more comfortable with the uneasy feeling, don't judge them allow them more?

[@juliendiemer9]

Thank you. Very perceptive comment. And yeah, I think it has a lot to do with learning to let go and not overthink everything - Feel safe, secure, and massively reduce neurotic thought patterns. Trust that things always work out as they should. More parasympathetic nervous system activation as opposed to sympathetic. As stated in this video, most people with SD are highly sensitive. Low self worth is also a factor. We have to learn to literally be "comfortable in our own skin" (the body always tells the truth)

[@juliendiemer9]

You are your own path to greatness. I'm just ONE potential catalyst that hopefully helps point others with SD in the right direction. At the end of the day it's entirely up to you to change your fate. You have to want it and accept/learn the lessons that SD (or any other hardship for that matter) was sent to teach in order to overcome it and move on to the next challenge. Presenting a difficult solution (most real solutions are difficult) is not clickbait-worthy or popular. People want quick, simple fixes, which is why the majority of videos on skin problems are limited to restrictive dieting, supplements, creams, and telling you what you want to hear.

@@juliendiemer9 hei bro I want to ask you if you want to detox using chrysanthemum tea, is it effective to drink it in the morning on an empty stomach? And what shampoo do you use? I'm on a carnivore diet so far there has been an increase in my exercise taking zinc and d3 supplements but I'm tired of all this please help me bro I need your advice 🙏🏻

[@juliendiemer9]

​@@gamebred2130 The main benefit of Chrysanthemum tea is that it calms the nervous system and subsequently helps reduce an overactive immune response. You can drink that any time of the day, several times per day. It doesn't matter when, but generally speaking you wouldn't want to have a lot of fluids around meal-time. I use a clay-based shampoo without sulfates or parabens, but your choice of shampoo is not the cause or solution, so I wouldn't focus on that. When I get haircuts nowadays, and the barber uses his commercial shampoo, I no longer have reactions. That's what you want to aim for - to be more resilient to 'poison', not necessarily avoid poison altogether. This happens internally/physiologically by reducing CNS stress and also detoxing accumulated poisons from past stress. I don't think the carnivore diet is ideal for this condition, or any person for that matter as a long-term diet. I think it's ideal to eat a variety of foods that are in-season and naturally found wherever it is you live. For example, you wouldn't want to eat tropical fruits if you live in Canada. More fat and meats in the winter to warm the body, less in the summer, etc. I'm not sure what kind of exercise you're doing, but anyone with SD should avoid intense exercise. vitamin D3 and zinc Carnosine is good, but zinc carnosine shouldn' t be taken long-term, and natural sunlight is preferred to d3. I would suggest frequent coffee enemas, chrysanthemum tea, dry bitter gourd tea, sun exposure, 8-9 hours of sleep per night, breathe through your nose all the time, 25 mg of Lugol's iodine per week, eat intuitively but only until 80%, full, one 24-hour fast per week. best exercise is walking outside in nature or swimming in natural bodies of water.

[@dianavaldez6588]

From someone that had SD for 3 years and refused to take medicine and medical shampoos, I would say to observe and analyze your own body. The issue for me was specifically my diet. I lowered sugar and carbs. Drank alot of water and ate more veggies, after 1.5 months not only did I lose weight but the SD also disappeared. The doctor never told me that my diet and specifically sugar and carbs could have been affecting my SD. So for anyone that hasn’t heard this, it’s worth a try.

Piano, reading, daily walks in nature and occasional pipe/cigar smoking are my forms of meditation. The idea is to engage in calming, gratifying activities that bring joy on a regular basis.

interesting take. been a sufferer for more than 10 years now. I've been doing research into nutrition and some things seemed to have helped, but that itself is also kinda a rabbit hole

[@juanprogamer8696]

Just one question, those who were born by cesarean section, were given antibiotics in childhood and ate few vegetables or fruits in childhood, do you now have seborrheic dermatitis? This probably has to do with the origin of the disease. I don't have family members with seborrheic dermatitis, and yet I developed it from the age of 12 in the form of dandruff. I was born by cesarean section and I got sick often, so the doctors gave me antibiotics until I was 3 years old, I'm sure this was the problem. This caused intestinal dysbiosis. Stress is a trigger, but I don't think it is the cause or the cure. The cure must be in the intestine.

[@jeddmorales5838]

Yo wtf same here. I am born through C-section since I was born 1 and a half month early, given antibiotics when I was like 1yr old I think for 6 months since I apparently had pneumonia, always sick and rarely ate vegetables and fruits. Always had mild eczema in my body but my sebderm only appeared at puberty and was made worse by skincare, doxycycline and accutane (this drug is Satan itself, worsened my sebderm by tenfold). I also had a violent and traumatic childhood so I'm always stressed and have PTSD. And I agree I'm 90% sure it's in the gut. I think the antibiotics wiped out a lot of beneficial bacteria and caused bacterial imbalances and dysbiosis. The thing is I tried probiotics and even made homemade kefir, sauerkraut and stuff and my sebderm got worse. My bloating and indigestion worsened and I often get stomach cramps now. I may have sibo or something and I've read that fermented foods are high in histamine. Idk if I have histamine intolerance as well or not since every time I take an antihistamine my sebderm and oiliness calms down but I get anxious after a few days so I stopped taking it. I'm planning on taking an expensive GI mapping test soon that uses DNA or something so it's apparently more accurate. It'll show how much good and bad bacteria you have as well as parasites, candida etc. If I do have such imbalances and I manage to treat them all and restore my gut flora and if it ever cures my sebderm and mild acne, then that highly supports the theory of sebderm and skin issues being gut related.

[@jeddmorales5838]

Also fuck doctors with them prescribing antibiotics long term likes it's nothing. I've read somewhere that apparently your only supposed to take antibiotics for a maximum of 3 months since it'll cause gut imbalances and wipe out a lot of good bacteria. I've lost hope with most doctors, they all made my skin worse each time.

Thank You ✨💜✨

[@tomshaji]

Stress is triggered by stomach issues too ,all immune issues starts in your gut

[@juliendiemer9]

The gut and brain are closely linked for sure. I think it's one of those "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" type scenarios. It's possible that negative emotions upset the gut bacteria first.. and then the cascade of immune defects occur. But regardless, both emotional and physical health have a massive impact on quality of life. Most people focus too much on the physical (as did I)

[@vinnieven2295]

Very useful! Thank you

[@8bulletballers385]

Do you think gut stress from poor eating habits is a trigger as well? Would this all tie into the umbrella of “stress on the body” (not always psychological, but also physical)?

[@juliendiemer9]

It definitely isn't helping but it's not the direct trigger or cause. Millions of Americans have poor eating habits and don't have SD - only a few percent do. Physical health and psychological health are closely intertwined - the body is the mind. Having said that, poor eating habits are inevitably going to impact mental health and cloud the mind, making it harder to constructively process stress and emotions. Junk food is also often a coping mechanism (escapism, provides comfort) and its abuse indicates an issue with processing emotions in healthy ways. Basically SD is serving as a distraction because facing the real emotional issue is more stressful/terrifying than dealing with a skin condition in the mind's eye, so it creates it.

[@trish.goes.ironman]

I have a fairly ok skin. Recently, my mind has been bombarded by stress left and right, it started as fungal acne, now it's SD

[@juliendiemer9]

I also had acne before SD. Acne itself (+ acne creams) can also impair the skin barrier, allowing Malassezia yeast to penetrate and provoke an immune response. Excess stress on the autonomic nervous system wreaks all kinds of havoc and manifests itself in different ways in different people. Right now, I would suggest focusing on external symptom management so that the visible SD isn't adding even more stress in everyday life.

[@juliendiemer9]

@@trish.goes.ironman That is awesome!! I do have experience with NAC - mainly helps the liver detox by way of glutathione replenishment. Why does this work? The detoxification pathways are clogged for various reasons, so the body can't efficiently detoxify it on its own. Therefore, NAC and other supplements (more than one way to skin a cat) act as a crutch and eliminate symptoms by ultimately improving immune health. I think it's important to focus on helping the body detoxify on its own without supplements. Although helpful in the short-term, if the supplements are no longer taken, symptoms often come back because the underlying issues have not been addressed - colon health, underlying infections, thought patterns, lifestyle - so the cycle repeats itself. Coffee enemas accomplish the same thing as NAC (massive uptick in glutathione) and more. They heal the liver instead of simply help it do its job, like NAC. Astragalus completely cleared my skin at one point. But when I stopped taking it, everything came back. Eliminating symptoms is the first step. It's pretty much impossible to be the state of mind necessary to initiate healing with symptoms, because stress is horrible for this. What I'm saying is, don't stop there. :)

Adderall stimulates the sympathetic nervous system.

[@juliendiemer9]

Thanks for your comment. I did not use steroid creams or medications to get rid of my SD. The friend (my old roommate) I referenced in the video used cortisone creams for his Psoriasis, and I saw how it created dependence/thinned the skin. Witnessing that turned me off from visiting dermatologists entirely. This was at the beginning of my nearly 10-year trial-and-error journey. The only prescribed medication I've ever taken was a harsh acne cream as a teenager,. This may have actually contributed to the onset of my SD. Over the last few years, I've read other studies about steroid creams harming the liver (our skin is a sponge, we shouldn't put anything on our skin that we wouldn't eat) and causing a variety of other health problems.

And I really started questioning the use of steroid creams and stop using them at all despite having purchased them.

[@juliendiemer9]

I think you hit the nail on the head. The skin, especially on the face, is also the first thing we show to the world and it can reflect a deep insecurity with what's being shown (aside from the skin issue of course). Can stem from a frustration in attempting to hide something that is somehow related to feeling safe, and that energy must come out in one way or another eg an immune-related skin issue.

As a person who's a teen and doesn't have money for all this supplementation what would be your advice?

[@juliendiemer9]

This would be my advice : The things you avoid are more important than anything you may consume anyways, and the most impactful things are either free or very cheap. Most importantly, don't overindulge in anything. Temperance is key. Don't overeat. Don't indulge in emotions or overdo anything for that matter. Do your best to stay balanced and even-keeled in all areas, which is easier said than done, especially as a teen.. Avoid eating processed sugar and vegetable oils (sunflower, canola, soybean..). Avoid dairy products or only consume in very small amounts (butter is ok though) Don't eat white bread. If you can get ahold of it, have real sourdough bread. Don't drink anything apart from water or herbal tea (sage, chrysanthemum, dry bitter gourd are best) Don't smoke weed. Eat when you're hungry. Don't fast. Ideally, eat fruits and cooked vegetables that are in season, rice, potatoes, meat, eggs, fish. Get 8 hours of sleep per night and go to bed before midnight. Don't brush your teeth with toothpaste that has sodium fluoride. Get as much sun exposure daily as possible, but not too much (don't burn) Don't exercise in the classical sense of the term (bodybuilding, running etc.). It stresses out the nervous system and if SD is an issue, it's probably doing more harm than good. Walking is the best and most underrated form of exercise. Don't wash your face with anything. It messes up the pH of the skin. Simply splash cold water on your face. If it's on the scalp, use a light, natural shampoo without sodium laureth sulfate. If you can, order and lightly apply biom8 skin conditioning oil. It's helped a lot of people control symptoms. You can also try raw honey face masks, sea salt spray, apply apple cider vinegar.. these are all cheap. Coffee enemas can be very helpful as they heal the liver and get rid of parasites. If you have some money to spend on a supplement, get high-strength vitamin D3 (2,000-5,000 IU), and/or Zinc.

@@juliendiemer9 What do you think about pushups? And how to make sea salt spray? Man I don't know what to do life's been so hard with this Can't even focus on one stuff without looking at face. Didn't even went to doc to get diagnosed but I feel it's seb derm Don't wanna waste money if the solution ain't real.

[@juliendiemer9]

​@@nammannnn Pushups are ok as it's a bodyweight exercise and less stressful on the central nervous system. Simply mix sea salt with water in a spray bottle and spray that on a couple times per day. It helps kill the yeast provoking the immune response and maintains proper skin pH. I still think biom8 is your best bet to mask symptoms though.

I love your approach. And while I do think there IS a connection to ones spirit and their bodies, I cant help but think that it might be something else. (more deterministic and less spiritual.) For example, the reason your moms boyfriend developed SebDerm may be because of toxic mold exposure. Do they live in the same household? If so, then it could be a probable cause. Maybe that can explain why certain places invoke a bad feeling inside (at a spiritual level?). As for the unexplainable (ray charles going blind), is it a mere coincidence? (I wouldnt know the answer.) Anyways, I do think trauma can effect all sorts of bodily functions, including the gut microbiome. I know stress can increase oxidative stress which ruins the homeostasis of ones body, starting at the mitochondria. Maybe this is because of a un-regulated hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis caused by childhood trauma or other external stressors. At the end of the day, it could be the spirit, and it most likely is. Personally, my stressors are probably spiritual AND physical issues working synergistically against my body. I myself struggle with depression and perfectionism, which only exacerbate my symptoms. Coming from a dis-regulated household (and in my opinion, a dis-regulated society) has also probably caused damage to me and my body. Similar spirits attract similar issues. I was into bodybuilding and bulking, similar to you, which probably threw my body out homestasis in one way or another. My older sister and I are the more "mental" ones in my family, with both of us having physical issues, while the youngest is happy and healthy. I think taking both an "intuitive-eastern-holistic" approach and a "rigid-western-science-based" approach, is the key to overcoming this disease or any disease for that matter. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Also, for anyone interested, Id highly recommend the Seborrheic Dermatitis video on the Rupa Health youtube channel. Heres the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6HMpmCCe7RlhsUsi=vNiQj-qozO9pooS4 I'd also recommend looking into gene testing. Dr. Ben Lynch explains it very nicely on his KZbin channel and in his book "dirty genes". I hope this helps someone. I'd happily reply to anyones questions if they have any

One of those "what came first the chicken or the egg" scenarios.. I personally don't think anyone will ever be able to measure the true cause with certainty, because I don't believe it can be measured. In other words, I consider the associated gut dysbiosis, etc. to be a correlation, and not a causation. Why the dysbiosis? To go even further, why the trauma? I think the body, and even one's general situation in life always tells the truth about the internal state of affairs. Energy has consequences. If we resonate at a certain frequency, we will attract a moldy place to live, to use your example. It's physics in a way. We're like magnets. From another perspective, it isn't physics in the sense that it can't be calculated, as it's not tangible or provable in any reliable way. All we have are observations. I see SD as a required learning opportunity that literally can't be avoided because it's so painfully obvious. The following text is translated from a French book written by Jacques Martel that I recently read on the emotional causes of a variety of ailments. There is a section on SD that provides some food for thought: "Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition characterized by varying degrees of redness covered with scales that detach from the skin. It predominates in areas where seborrheic secretion is most abundant (scalp, sides of the nose, forehead, temples, sternum, etc.). Seborrhea predisposes to seborrheic dermatitis. The skin is the body's protective envelope. It also protects internal organs. Since sebum lubricates and protects the skin, do I feel this need to protect myself because "something might fall on my head"? Seborrheic dermatitis manifests as an excess, a surplus, an overflow, a secret too heavy to bear. For example, I am a witness to fraud or have participated in it, and I fear being exposed. I experience recurring and growing stress in my life that I can no longer tolerate. Am I taking care of someone excessively without first taking care of my own needs? Seborrheic dermatitis expresses a frustration that I want to hide from my personal life. I reject intimacy with others, or perhaps others are distancing themselves from me and I must reluctantly accept this situation." I guess the idea is to live in truth, and acknowledge and cater to one's own basic emotional needs.

[@JungianMonkey69]

I love that type of thinking. Lots of people would consider it hippy-dippy bullshit, but I view it as leaving no stone unturned. The science will follow afterwards. (If a certain method works.) What if this disease IS emotional? Jungian Psychologist James Hillman talks about skin conditions quite often, ranging from Nietzsche to Kant to Foucault, all the way to his connection to skin disease in his puer essays. (Puer aeternus meaning “eternal youth” in Latin). Anyways, after asking chatGPT to summarize the puer/skin connection to me, I got this. “In Hillman's Puer essays, he views skin conditions as symbolic of the puer aeternus’ sensitivity and struggle with boundaries. The skin, as the boundary between self and world, reflects the puer's discomfort with physical reality and maturity. Skin afflictions manifest the puer's inner conflict between transcending limitations and being grounded in the material world.” Seems spot on to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@lonevoyager6026]

what about people who are super stressed, have PTSD, or other extreme psychological conditions? most of them don't have a skin disorder. are we just unlucky?

[@juliendiemer9]

You have a great point, but not exactly, based on my observations and experience. There is a very specific thought pattern (and its associated frequency) that inevitably causes SD, and I believe that to be the case with any health issue at this point. It's not unlucky. See it as a gift to learn and grow. In a nutshell, be "comfortable in your own skin", and don't overthink or focus an unreasonable amount of energy towards your health or appearance.

What do you think about probiotics and coconut oil? I’m looking forward to get better and help people

[@juliendiemer9]

For those with SD, I would not suggest coconut oil for internal or external use. Reason being for internal: it can provoke an intense die-off reaction as it's a potent anti-fungal. Reason being for external application: it is high in saturated fat, which can act as a food for the Malassezia yeast. It does sometimes work for certain people with SD. It's really a hit or miss but there are better external symptom-relief solutions. (MCT oil, biom8, etc.) Probiotics can help strengthen the immune system, improve digestion and reduce autoimmunity, but if they are too strong, they can be counterproductive and provoke intense die-off (Herxheimer reaction). I prefer probiotics from fermented foods, and I believe that probiotics in supplement form are unnecessary. I think it's best to address SD from a gentle standpoint in order to bring the mind, body and skin back into a state of balance, instead of forcing it (this does not mean it takes longer, it's really the only way, and it doesn't take as long as one may think) Probiotics and coconut oil can be violent for some and make things worse.

Thanks for the help btw!!

[@juliendiemer9]

@@paolaaguilar3739 Biom8 helps manage SD symptoms for the majority of people who use it, so I'd say if one topical product was worth the price, that would be it. In terms of topical solutions, If that doesn't work, you can try MCT oil, raw honey face masks, yogurt face masks, small amounts food grade H202 diluted in water, diluted lugol's iodine, sea salt water ..these are all either anti-fungal or pH balancing (acidic).. the idea is to make the surface of the skin inhospitable to Malassezia yeast, as that is the culprit of the immune response.

The more caring you are the more you suffer

[@juliendiemer9]

That's one way to put it! If you are capable of feeling things deeply, it's dangerous, but it's also a gift in way. More suffering = more spiritual maturity. We are also only capable of feeling the exact opposite of any emotion. If you are capable of feeling pain deeply, the same goes for joy.
