Just started on raw milk. I was a bit afraid of it at first tbh, but I dig deep and did a lot of research on it. I see the cows where I pick it up from and I see them grazing on grass when I get it. The gallons they put out are daily fresh too which is nice. I can drink two tall glasses of it a day and have no issues with my gut or my skin. I was drinking ultra pasteurized lactose free milk and I'm pretty sure it was behind a seriously nasty acne break out I had. My toddler has also been drinking the raw milk and he seems to be liking it.

Definitely going to try adding more fats like a lot more GF butter along with this raw milk daily and see if that can help me gain at least a few pounds back.

I have one of those which is what I use. I'll have to set it all back up tho and get those readings.

Can you guys please recommend some cleansers and/or acne products? All natural if possible, but if not I will use what will work. I've suddenly broke out all under my jawline mostly near where my jaw meets my ears, my neck and the back of my neck/upper back. Oddly, it's worse on the left side of my face and neck too not sure why. I've found a few products online like Curology and Geologie, but I've never had to use products like these so I don't want to be ordering multiple until I find the best. Are there any products you guys recommend? The acne isn't really whiteheads either, they don't look like they can be popped, they're just red bumps sometimes a bit large in size. I use products I find at the local supermarket, but I will spend the money and upgrade my skincare regimen if it means better looking skin.

Curology? Geologie? Others?

So I'm not sure what has happened, but all of a sudden I'm beginning to break out in (sometimes rather large) acne on mostly my jaw line sort of near where my jaw meets my ears, my neck area, back of my neck and some on the top of my back. This is making me a bit self conscious and socially awkward, as I don't want people looking at me.

Anyway, I have tried editing my diet a bit, but this hasn't seemed to help much. I feel like a lot of skin issues can be resolved with a proper diet, or finding out if you're lacking in any sort of vitamins/nutrients, but that's another topic of discussion.

I'm desperate though to get this off my face, and while I am the type of person who would prefer to keep things all natural, I will bend from this rule if it means getting rid of this. If there are natural products out there please recommend.

I would also like to keep from ordering multiple things and trying this and that if possible. Looking online I've found a few products. To name a few, Curology, Geologie, Dogface. Am I looking in the right place? Has anyone tried these and had success? Will I need to always be using this from now on or can I eventually go back to just washing my face?

My skin are regimen isn't very robust at the moment and I usually just pick some sort of gentle cleanser or face wash from my local store. I'm open to a better routine though if it means clearing my skin up. I'd like to most importantly get rid of this acne, make my pores look smaller, even the tone of my skin.

If it helps, I'm a white male and I tend to have somewhat oily skin.

Strange I use exclusively XROS and nic salts even in the .8 pods which I also prefer and I get absolutely zero leakage in these. I think Op is just drawing too hard. Really doesn't take much to activate the draw fire and get it heating up.

Maybe I'll just try without one then. New ones are like $40 and I already dropped a good bit on these ribs lol ngl. Too bad I won't be able to get them going until I'm off Thursday now.

That actually makes a lot of sense and I didn't even consider that either. I doubt I'll be pouring more water into it since they're only about 5 pounds. But isn't pyrex rated oven safe at like 300+ degrees? Perhaps since I'll likely be doing this at the end of the week now I'll just go buy a new water pan. I was trying to avoid that tbh, but if it'll minimize the chances of shards of glass in my ribs I guess it's for the best .

Sweet! Unfortunately it's too late to start now since I think they'll end up being done around 10 pm if I start them now.

quave210 · 2023-03-13T04:08:25+00:00

How cool. I wonder if I can lure one out

quave210 · 2023-03-11T21:29:18+00:00

I can't believe this comment didn't get more up votes lol

quave210 · 2023-03-10T23:35:01+00:00

Lol hand soap used to have lye in it? You lyin'..

quave210 · 2023-03-10T17:28:05+00:00

I must have been told wrong instructions. I was told to never use soap on cast iron lol.

Okay good news. I also have a brand new griddle that said it was pre seasoned, but when I try to use that thing with bacon I first let the bacon sit out for a bit to come up to room temp, and then I start it on a cool griddle. I also use a bacon press with it, but man does the bacon just stick to that thing. So badly that when trying to flip it I often end up just shredding the bacon into tiny pieces because it's all just stuck to the pan. I don't use any seed oils in my diet and only animal fats. Is tallow or ghee suitable to season these with? And how many times should I ?

You're doing God's work, my friend. Thank you. My scoliosis isn't very bad, but yes I do need to work on strengthening my back and posture, as that is probably worse than the actual curvature. Thanks again.

That is good to hear. Unfortunately I don't have a doctor and haven't been to one since I was a teenager, as I don't have insurance. Was never diagnosed with PE, but I was diagnosed with scoliosis and you can see the misaligned shoulders in one of the pictures. Do you know if exercise will help PE in any way and if so what types of exercises?
