From the Inside Out

“I found this website about a year ago, and realized everyone is trying to solve KP topically like my dermatoligists have suggested for the last 20 years.
Creams , lotions, scrubs, exfoliants, microbermabrasion, laser hair removal, IPL treatments, you name it I’ve done it. I’ve spent countless hours and thousands of $$$$, and searching the net for advise, but most sites seem to have the exact same information.
Then I discovered my natural treatment for KP. (all sites say there is no cure)
I sought a naturopathic doctor in Oct/06 in Vancouver. She used to suffer from Kp and showed me her perfect smooth skin, and she advised me we could clear mine by testing for food sensitivities, and avoiding those foods for about 3 months OR until they cleared.
This test is called a “vega” test. It cost me $90.00, and I found out by the end of the test I was sensitive (NOT allergic) to 35 foods. For example I tested really bad for wheat, gluten, corn, milk, lactose, sugar, vinegar, red wine, red meat, tuna, crab/lobster, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, as well as a host of other foods, including some fruits and vegs and so on….etc…
So my challenge was to eat anything I wanted that I didn’t test negative for. This seemed easy at first, but finding prepared foods without sugar and wheat and dairy and so on was impossible, so I had to make food at home and did not eat out or packaged foods for the last 4 months.
I feel I had the worst case of KP ever. It was from my ankles all the way to my neck, (not on face) and I haven’t worn shorts or a short sleeved shirts in 20 years.
In two weeks I noticed a difference, and 4 months later, my skin is baby smoooooooooth, NO BUMPS!!!!!( i had really BAD bumps too, the ones on the back of my calfs and behind my knees felt huge and seemed to have been there years.)
Now I touch my skin all day and marvel and how smooth and radiant it looks. I do reccomend usual exfoliation when bathing, but normal stuff that the average human does, I like sugar scrub and I massage coconut oil on my skin before bed, it smells great and your skin will love you for it.
I took 2 retests which cost $ 45.00 each and every food has “cleared” except milk, lactose and corn, which my doc says I can still enjoy every once in a while.
Let me remind you this is NOT allergies at all, this is about your body having a frequency and food does too, and sometimes they don’t match, and it manifests as ailments including skin conditions, especially KP.
It sounded strange to me as well, but I had nothing to lose, and really wanted to wear summer clothing this year, and not hide my body from boyfriends.
I wanted to post this sooner, but I wanted to make sure that this is not going to be false hope for other people, but real, true, lasting results, that you can do just by adjusting your diet for a few months.
In case any of you are wondering, I am now allowed to eat anything except milk, lactose and corn, so it wasn’t that bad after all.
Other benefits were I lost 40lbs, my candidia yeast level went form a 24 out of 30 to a 4 out of 30, ( you starve yeast from sugar to kill it) my blood pressure went from 130 over 88, to 110 over 80, and my menstral period went from a living 5 day hell and a bottle of midol, to 3 days of whatever and no meds required.
I am so pleased I can share this will you all, and I hope this information will help some of you finally eliminate your KP naturally, my total investment for tests were $180.00. (not bad huh?)
By the way if you get tested and need some advise on what alternatives to foods you can eat, I will be happy to share my experiences and experiements with you. I can tell you I have discovered so many yummy foods, that I will never go back to the way I ate before.”
Sounds like a reasonable explanation for KP…I wonder if he has any before and after photos?
