I have severe cystic acne (the type that's has big bumps and that are painful) and have tried antibiotics and creams. Nothing worked. I even took Accutane for 9 months (which causes severe side affects such as birth defects, loss of hair, loss of vision, chelitis, depression...bad bad side affect). When I was on it, my hair was falling out and my lips are always cracked and my eyes were really really dried out, not to mention it causes photosensitivity.
While Accutane was the ONLY medication that has brought my severe cystic acne down to clear skin for a period of 2 years, now it's back after 8 years, but I don't want to take neither Accutane nor AntioBiotics EVER again.
I have heard of MMS and have tried both the internal protocol and external approach for 2 weeks but it hasn't improved much.
For the first 3 days, I did Protocol 1000, taking 3 drops of MMS with 3 drops of 50% citric acid every hour for 8 hours and did not take or drink anything with Vitamin C within 2 hours of taking MMS.
But taking it each hour wasn't not practical especially with my hectic everyday life, so I gradually increased it to 10 drops of MMS x 3 times a day...totalling 30 drops (by the way I have noticed extreme constipation after I have started MMS, anyway to alleviate that problem?)
External: I dropped 8 drops of MMS alone with 8 drops of 50% Citric Acid into a 1 oz. Colbart glass spray bottle, wait for 20 seconds, and then added purified water into the 1 oz bottle. I sprayed that on my face twice a day...one in the morning and one at night. I noticed I burned myself spraying too much, so I only spray once a day now.
I have been doing this for 2 weeks now. Why aren't I the cysts going away. Am I doing something wrong. For those who have used MMS for severe acne with success, or those who know about what's best for severe cystic acne, please help me out.
sincerely,
David
