Re: help with boils and overall skin healthFrom: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 29 Jan 2003 16:58:34 -0600 (CST)
I too have been suffering and have gone from Doc to Doc . Tried antibiotics, Accutane , UV Treatment, it just kept getting worse. Then I too tried Ayurveda. Its helped me so far, The 'attacks' have reduced drastically. This time, I am going in for the kill. Being Indian, I have a very good Ayurvedic doctor back home in India. I am going to get a 14-21 days treatment done . This will drastically reduce the boils a lot and then the rest will have to be treated with oral medicine ( Some of the medicine tastes yuck... but hey, its very helpful ). I will definitely update you all to what happens ..I will say one thing... avoid Eggs and Sugar, they increase pus formation. Also try and avoid any 'Beans' like Kidney Beans, Garbanzo Beans ... etc. At Wed, 23 May 2001, Deb wrote: > >Hi all, >I have the same thing ya'all have except under my arms...and sometimes >in very sensitive areas...
