I want to speak about the condition that is so bothersome and horrendous that some people can't even go to work and go out and function normally. The spectrum includes mild forms that are just plain disturbing to other forms that completely make it impossible to be part of a society. That condition is an accentuation of what acne is, especially occurring under the arms, in the groin area and elsewhere of the body such as below the breast. This condition is called Hidradenitis Suppurativa, I call it acne from hell. Sometimes involves draining lesions that can be as big as a golf ball or even as big as a baseball.
And they may be draining chronically. Some of the conventional treatment for this involve cutting the entire area out down through the fat We're using some of the new drugs that are poisoning the dividing white cells. And those are called biologics, those are some of the successful ways of treating it. But I fortunately have been able to treat some of these patients in accentuated way that I treat acne; by taking away foods that are causing inflammation and by making a whole variety of changes in the diet and in the digestive tracks, in the hormones using supplements that contribute to the inflammation involved. So here is another inflammatory disorder that can be controlled by changing the underlying conditions for the inflammation.
