Case Study
A brief clinical case study appears below. The particular case is one of several that rotate randomly on this and some other pages.
Acne
Alan, at the time of writing, is a twenty year old, but he first visited as a sixteen year old with severe cystic-type acne on his face and chest. He also suffered from allergies that congested his nose most of the time. He had been treated with antibiotics for five months with no real improvement. His only other problem was a nervous restlessness with is an indication of a zinc deficiency. He was already taking a vitamin B complex. He had a fairly good diet, but his appetite was poor.
Over an eighteen month period, with the treatment outlined below, the skin on his face cleared completely. The skin on his torso cleared more slowly and needed another year of treatment in reduced quantities. His improvement wasn't dramatic but it was consistent over the treatment period. His appetite improved and his nose became clear. Without treatment there was little prospect that Alan's condition would have improved.
Alan was treated with:
- herbs to cleanse the lymphatic system and tone the liver:
- burdock,
- violet leaves,
- dandelion root and leaves,
- fringe tree,
- centaury and
- wahoo,
- a general multivitamin and mineral supplement with additional:
- vitamin B complex,
- vitamin C,
- zinc,
- iron, and
- calcium.
