Hello everyone,
I have been taking Primal Defense for about 7 months with 9-12 caps a day. Prior to that I did a colon cleansing using Colonix kit from drnatura. Right now I am stuck with two major problems. After about 5 months using Primal Defense, my acne condition have tremendously worsened became big cystic and spread all over my shoulders, scalp, chest and back. I would assume this is the reaction of detoxifying the body. But still after two months of waiting for this to disappear, nothing happens. During this time, I am using a topical agent retin-a and aloe vera up until now, to no avail.My second problem is having to gain weight. My body mass index is within the normal range and not really underweight, that is, until you look at my body frame. Figure-wise (numbers), I seem to be at a normal range but I look really skinny in person if you didn't know my calculated weight.
I have been taking together with Primal Defense Barley Green and red beets and carrots. I have read somewhere that having a high protein diet is not good for the body during repair process. I am torn because I also have to virtually CUT DOWN my carb intake because of Primal Defense. It says that I must not eat any form of carb including bread, and pasta.
I am trying to take 7 organic cloves garlic a day as antibacterial agent. What do you guys think?
Help. =( Much blessings to all.

Hi Larry I have read most of your messages and I feel that you are the person to ask. Would you suggest any natural antibiotic that would deter P. acnes bacteria? Would eating garlic or oregano do any help?

Unfortunately Larry has been blocked from this site for several weeks so he won't be able to help you. Maybe someone else can or perhaps if you do a search in the archives you could get some information.

Hi
I've seen Primal Defence in the health food shop but dunno what's in it. Is it full of probiotics? I thought it looked interesting, but maybe it was the name.
I dunno that I'd assume it's a reaction to detoxifying your body. You've been on it a lomg time.
I try to reseve my carb intake for things like fruits and vegetables (except for potatoes).
What's in Primal Defence?

Propionbacterium is killed by wild oregano oil which is a powerful natural antibiotic, and I would definitely reccommend it for skin problems. It's effective topically as well, but be careful to dilute it as it can sting, zinc oxide is a good base to use with it, as zinc has antifungal and mild antibiotic properties as well as being soothing on inflamed skin.
Garlic is also beneficial for cystic acne, partly because of it's anti-inflammatory effect and sulphur content, any natural source of additional sulphur in the diet can be helpful. I would use the combination however, or choose the Oregano Oil as cystic acne lesions often contain more than one strain of bacteria and not all are sensitive to garlic alone.
