Brady, I like that -- wisdom sets in when it's written all over your face LOL :)
You may be right about needing the Z cream later, will have to see. I still have
almost a full jar, so I'm prepared if it comes to that. Although I didn't find
the Z cream helped with pimples that erupted when I got them during mite
treatment -- I had to resort to a clay product I used in the past to clear them.
I have another product now waiting in the wings that has sulfur in it which I
bought to try when a pimple shows up, but so far, my face isn't fussing.

I'm not intending on cheating on the Diet since I have to eat anyway and I need
good nutrition regardless of stress or socializing. In fact, I would need more
good nutrition under stress. It seems cheating comes not with the food but with
the choices made. Some of my elderly patients are very good incentives for
showing me in their 70's and 80's what not to do and how not to behave in my
50's with my choices. I'm not saying I won't cheat, but I'm not looking toward
opening the door to a dog with fleas just waiting to come in. After miserably
struggling with my body for decades and my face for 7 years, I'm not willing to
go back on that roller coaster nightmare ride any time soon. The Diet and the Z
cream are absolute blessed reliefs!
