Silica and Scars. What is Silica? What are Acne Scars??? _{Page 11 of 26}

Day 74 Homemade Silicea
Day 46 Phytolacca Berry MT

Well I told myself I would stick to this for 3 months, so I have about another 2 weeks to go. If Im still breaking out in 2 weeks then I will stop taking it because I really can't take this anymore.

This has completely destroyed my life for the last 2.5 months and other then work and when I absolutely have to, I don't leave the house.

The two things that have kept me going are, firstly, the slight improvements in my red marks and secondly, the fact that acne and then acne scarring has ruined my life for the last 10 years and stopped me living my life fully and Im just so desperate to be able to not have to plan my life around it any more.

I am still breaking out very badly, even though I diluted the homemade solution I have made. I have ordered some silicea 6x and when that arrives I will switch to that for the last few weeks in an attempt to find a way I can take this and not break out so I can continue treatment longer.

Regarding diet, if this works for you then great. Surely this should be the first thing you try, not a last resort. I have eaten a diet of ONLY fruit, nuts, seeds, vegetables, oil (mostly olive and coconut), lentils, eggs, brown rice and wholewheat pasta for the last 3.5 years. It's great for staying slim but it certainly has never done anything for my skin.

There has to be something else thats causing the outbreaks. I stopped drinking coffee, cut back on dairy that has hormones(rgbh or whatever) eating organic foods and staying away from hydrogenated oils and other transfatty acids. Im also taking the acne homeopathic remedy that you can get from most healthfood stores. it comes in a eyedropper bottle. I dont know if its just that or everything Im doing but my face is doing alot better. any of these things help?

Ok, I started taking silica 200c about 2 weeks ago, I took it for about a week, then switched to the homemade stuff. I didn't make it right...so I made it again and started it yesterday. I am actually bumed because I expected to break out immediatly. Isn't the breakout the sign that it is working? Well, Im not breaking out any more or less, I think I see an improvement in some of my scars, but at this point Im not sure which version of silica gave the improvement. I don't feel any tingling anywhere, I dont' have flu like symptoms(a side effect some seem to have) NOTHING! I do drink coffee, but have limited myself to one cup first thing in the morning, which was hard. Could that small amount be antidoting it(or whatever)? I emailed dr. kuldeep, but he hasn't responded. any advice? Is the fact that Im not breaking out not important? Does everyone get the tingling feeling?

I guess that I should include that many of my scars are at least 4 years old, ice picks. Has anyone else seen improvements in scars that old? I dont really know what classifies as an old scar.

my scars are old to 5-8years. you have to remember that older scars could take up to a year depending on your skin, diet, how well you make the silica. anyway Im seeing a small improvement and its been over 3 months.

Kuldeep,
I am glad to see that you are posting on this thread again! I had a few questions for you.
Firstly, if you are not breaking out on your scars, does that mean that the silica is not working on you?

ya kuldeep, welcome back! any other new remedies for acne scars? silica is either really really slow or not working at all.

I agree about the silica hotty! Although I will say that since I started taking the silica 6x(store bought) I have started breaking out where some of my scars are, then just random zits. I don't know though if it just starts breaking out when its working on that scar...I mean, do older scars start to break out later, when they are starting to heal? I don't know...getting frustrated! It seems to work very well for some though, maybe my scars are just older then I thought!

thanks kuldeep. Just made another batch of rock juice. I had a 5 day break from it. back to the routine tomorrow. its not easy taking 3 doses a day with 1/2 hour before and after remedy.

Kuldeep,
My main question is if it isn't making you break out, does that mean its not working?
Well...actually, I got frustrated today. The silica 200c didn't work, the homemade stuff didn't work, and the store bought 6x didn't seem to be working. SO, I desided that to chug the last 1/4 of the homemade stuff, figuring that if you guys drank the water all day, it may be better to take it in large doses. Well, that was this afternoon, and now I have like 5 or 6 new pimples on my chin(none at site of scars though). Do you think that for some it takes MORE of the smaller strength stuff? Or is it the break out that depends on the person. I just seems from what Ive read here and on another web site is that those who break out get better and quicker results.

i was wondering the same thing. in his story he said they drank that water all day long from the stream. I dont think the breakout is a definite sign, but must be a good thing that the skin is pushing out the unwanted material. Im no expert though so take my word with a grain of salt. I just started today or should I say back on it. Im breaking out in four spots and they make almost a perfect 4 corner square on my face:) patience is all I can say. im giving it a year like I said b4. I think if you dont see any results after a year then drop it and move on to other homeo or just get plastic surgery or something. Dang these acne scars!

Hi Hotty - it's so interesting that you report u r breaking out in the same place on each side of your face because that is EXACTLY what happenend to me with the silicea. I began to notice that there was a sort of balancing act going on from side to side , and it made me curious that it was not so much the pimple itself but the POSITION of the pimple and how if followed one on the other side of my face. I know that , like with foot reflexology , there is facial reflexology , and that parts of your face correlate to your organs (check out this for face map:
http://www.positivehealth.com/permit/Articles/Chinese%20Medi...)

I think along the chinese lines that your body knows what its doing, and that there is rhyme and reason to why you break out where you do, it's just that only a few look to what's going on 'inside'.

I would suggest that anyone breaking out mainly on the cheeks should be aware of lung / colon issues and would greatly benefit from a cleansing diet & enemas + no smoking ! Likewise if you get spots mainly on your chin or the sides of your chin , look to the hormones, reproductive systems for clues ...

I truly believe that the 'mirror' breakout pattern is our body's way of getting itself into balance, and perhaps expelling toxins associated with specific (vulnerable to us specifically) areas of our systems.

Kuldeep if you read this , please tell me what you think? Am i making sense. To all others i'd be interested to know if you've had any synchronicity with your acne since the silicea ????

Thanks for reading !!!

very interesting post carlotta. maybe your on to something here. anyway I'll take this "mirror" going on as a positive sign for the silica working:)

My breakouts aren't even at all. But after chugging the rest of that water I decided to start taking more of the store bought 6x at a time. Now I take 7 of them 4 times a day. It is deffinatly making me break out. I think its interesting that different parts of the face corilate with organs(I have heard that about the feet and hands, but not the face). Whats most interesting to me is that you said if you break out on your chin, there could be problems with your reproductive system. I have always broken out on my chin, and I have horrible pregnancys. I have whats called an incompetent cervix...just thought that was very interesting, and I will deffinatly check out that site you mentioned!

shaunakeltner - the 6x did it for me too, although you're taking rather a large dose - why so many? I took two once or twice a day.

Interesting about the acne/body correlation isn't it? If i were you I would definitely go to a good kinesiologist and get to the bottom of the reproductive health. If you live in UK i can recommend one.
There are some effective herbs that might come up for you like wild yam or agnus castus. Get to the root of the problem and you're also dealing with the acne ! Worth a try.

I decided to take more of the 6x because of the reaction when I drank more of the "rock water" in a dose. I go back and forth between this site and the acne.org site, and it seems to me that the people who get the best(and quickest) restults from the silica also break out really bad from it, and they get a lot of tingling in their face. Well, when I drank a lot of the rock water instead of just a sip, I almost imediatly broke out and got the tingling. So I figured that more was the key. I think I might be WAY off though, because Im breaking out worse then I ever have before and Im still not really seeing improvements in my scars. I think that its interesting that kuldeeps last post said that silica is slow and takes a long time to work, but in the begining of his silica posts he says that it is a quick solution(major results with in 2 weeks). Im getting frustrated because Ive seen some other remidies that work well for scars that are under a year old, and Im wondering if I should start working on those scars before its too late, rather then taking a year to get rid of older scars when it may not work at all for me...
Or maybe Im just too impatient.

Personally, I wouldn't take so much. This is homeopathy, after all, and the less is more principle goes against our grain of thinking about medicine and, actually pretty much everything ! It's like riding a horse with a whip and whacking and whacking it - yes it might make it go faster, but you're not going to get the best results long term out of your animal 'cos you'll flog it to death. Get me?

You need to see the silica as a long term gig, with just a little at a time - you're system is very sensitized to it already. Give it a chance to go through its process. You're skin is going through one helluva process/balancing act, just let it do it's repairing thing. You have to give it time. You have to see it like every spot you have in you is coming to the surface until there will be no more eruptions and you're scars will have thrown out what they need to of underlying problem to re-build. But i think we're all looking 6months - 2 years here. Makes sense to me considering how long we've all probably had the acne. Keep going.

Ive actually read of a few people who had instant results with the silica. Like 2 weeks. All of those people got breakouts at the site of their scars. Thats why I think its just not working for me. I will say that I have gotten some weird pimples in between my eyes where I have a lot of ice picks, and they SEEM to be getting smaller. I think that maybe while its breaking down the scar tissue and pushing out whatever it pushes out, it makes you break out there. Thats where I get that no breakout means not results. I think that I will start making the "rock juice" again and drinking it more frequently. Maybe keeping it in your system will help. All that I know is that when I chugged the last 1/4th of the medicine, I got the reaction that kuldeep said means its working. Major tingling, like something fizzing under my skin. I really wish that he would start posting here more frequently again, I have many questions for him. I have cut down on the amount of the silica I take at one time. I broke out way too bad, but they came and went pretty quickly...just a lot of them.

what does the Antimony Crudum-30 do? I did make more silica. I realized that the first time I didn't use mineral water, I used spring water, and I think it really makes a difference. I baught the mineral water from the health food store, and it has higher amounts of flouride, as well as a "high silica based ph"
I have also been using the clearisil spot treatment stuff, for a bad breakout I had. I cant tell if the clearisil is making my face swell, of if my scars are really getting better, but they look better. Maybe its somehow the combo of the two...I don't know. But please tell me more about the Antimony Crudum-30, kuldeep, if you think it will help. Im truley willing to try anything! thank you!

actually, I think that the swelling is from the clearasil. I woke up today, and my skin is flaking and my scars look worse then before.
I don't know that my acne is related to the weather. Ive lived in many different climates, from austin texas(very humid), to st. george utah(very desert), to provo utah(mountains), and my skin has stayed the same, crappy. I do feel that it was getting better, then I tried that olay regenerest crap, thinking that it may help the silica along, and I broke out really bad. My acne has always been really bad on my chin and jaw line, I always have blackheads on my nose and chin(in every pore), and a few blackheads around my hairline. I feel like the silica actually improved my skin. The only time that I really got the "tingling" thing was when I drank a lot of the silica. Honestly, does it just not work on some people, for scars I mean? It just seems that for some this is a VERY quick remedy, and for others it doesn't work at all. Im almost wondering if it depends on WHERE the acne is on your face. Also, when you say that it will work if all layers of the skin are present, what exactly does that mean? I did read your explination, but ice pick scars are usually damaged dermis. Does this mean that in that case all layers of the skin are not present, and that it will not work? I may stick with it, but it is very difficult for me to make my own at this point in my life, Ive tried the 6x, but you have said that doesn't work. Are there other remedies that have worked for you? Maybe I need to stick with it now that Ive started making it with true mineral water, it made a huge difference in the appearence of the medicine.

Kuldeep,
ARe you recommending silicea or silica marina? Do they have similar actions on hair, skin, and scars?
Thanks for any reply....
