as regards TTO, one of my health concerns is that if it got near the
eye, my vision went blurry for hours (unable to read a computer
monitor for those hours) .. this was a great concern to me, having
been shot in the face at the age of 14, i already lost 80 percent
vision in my left eye.

however, as regards topical use on cheeks, etc .. it is so good that
you have found something that works for you now. perhaps consider
finding 'extra' products, slowly, like, over the space of one year or so..

oh dear, i never mentioned this before, however if there is no other
product that works, then surely, you must use the one that does? i
know only too well how hurtful rosacea symptoms can be. ugh, the pain,
the shame, the viscious cycle, the gloating uber-confident stares of
the arrogant fellows who know you would be a comptetitor far above
their level when it comes to chasing beautiful women, were it not for
the burnt cheek look, etc etc.

thing is tho, seems you have not tried Clearasil Vanishing Cream, nor
tried the Ultra dabbed on top of papules .. this can effectively help
you if you try it ... or how about the Clean and Clear "oil control"
salicylic acid toner .. or Loreal for men Deep Purifying Gel Wash ..
not that you have mentioned anyway.

you have not mentioned trying the Wella Remove Peeling
wash/conditioner, and yet this can also work wonders on the cheeks ..
nor have you replied to my post about removing papule "environments"
by gently removing all surface cheek hair follicles around it with
tweezers.

you explain how your sebacious gland issues can result in infected
areas .. well, if you dont want to use anti-biotics, why are you using
TTO products? TTO is anti-biotic, and hormonally mutagenic at the same
time. you mention "one in three" cancer statistic fear, however you do
not realise that actually the use of TTO by women can wreak havoc on
their bodies in later life, much more so than men, so perhaps stop and
consider before you start throwing statistic around, distracting from
the issue.

any good well-researched doctor can tell you that if a woman puts tea
tree oil under her arms, on the gland area there, as a "safe natural
deodorant product", there may be a risk of cancer in response to that.

there are benefits (short or long term depends on the person) via
anti-biotic and anti-bacterial action of TTO on infected/infested
skin, and yet there are massive concerns for women about this product.
if you get upset about hearing this, remember there are other options
you have not tried, and also it is not about you, or your skin, it is
about the entire female population of the human race having TTO
marketed to them as a helpful product.

Woody, please do not focus on the side issue of 'staph immunity' ..
indeed,
that was from another poster who found that some bacteria from low
level TTO usage was actually being immunised.

you are right in presuming that under normal circumstances, TTO will
eradicate some staph infection. Anti-biotics can do this too, however
if they are not used appropriately, they can cause immunity too ..
however that is more of a "usage issue".

TTO is just acting as an anti-biotic because it is a form of that,
pure and simple.

ultimately, it is necessary to clear the double edged sword of
"Infection and Infestation" slowly but surely out of your system.. and
then not use any heavy product overly much.
to some degree, emotional issues will play a role in regulating this
cycle, so it is not only hygiene/supplements/topicals .. i do realise
it is a wholistic approach, i just dont think TTO fits into a healthy
approach, especially for women.
it is not fine, for many people. if you think it is fine for you, go
ahead and use it. Especially if there is no alternative.

also, supplementation will help - things such as John O'Neills
Co-Enzyme Q10 (200mg each meal); Neo Life Formula IV (wheat germ
embryo extract, etc .. the most ultimate multi vitamin you ever saw),
Venotrex (horse-chestnut extract for vein integrity), Zyrtec to stop
the allergic door-opening process, an aspro once each three days or
so, with a meal... to reduce cytokites and leukotrine cycles

i guess the idea is that if TTO continues to be promoted as a "benign"
subtance, people will think it is fine to just treat symptoms with it.
therefore, i am going to start telling the truth, or what i believe to
be the truth. if you wish to continually question, then i will
continually answer.

if you see no other alternative to TTO, please do not feel upset if
others are taking the time to patiently explain that this substance is
one of the most dangerous on the planet, because it is touted as
"healthy". and if you do not wish to talk about, mention, try or
consider any of the techniques i have explained, that is your
perogative. perhaps in the future, you may gain some help from trying
them, especially if any current emotional charge about the benefits of
supposed "natural and good" TTO has faded.


many of us at the board found great relief from a substance known as
"Quadrinone", and were very upset and confused when it was taken off
the shelves, merely because it made a medical claim that was not 100
percent backed up. there wasnt even any health concerns at all.
