Anonymous asked: I'm curious to know how do you apply the VCO? If the VCO is solid at room temp, do you just rub a cotton ball in it and then over your face? And if I use it at night/before I sleep, wouldn't it get all over my pillow case/sheets? D:

Lost 6 pounds in 1.5 weeks
D:
Was not expecting this! My doctor had me on hypoallergenic diet. I placed myself on an even stricter one (malunggay soup 3x day, for at least 7 days, and fresh fruits— that’s it) hoping to give myself a supervitamin boost + detox to help my body heal. I didn’t think I’d lose weight because I wasn’t exercising at all! Was just staying at home, part of the whole...

Malunggay maize soup + kamote
Ate Shirley (our superchefyayachaufferfarmer) added sweet orange kamote to the malunggay maize soup I had for breakfast this morning. Just the right touch of soft sweetness!!! (:

This is:
Day 7 of malunggay soup diet.
Day 5 of new derma.
FINALLY I HAZ PROTEIN! I ended my 7th day of malunggay soup diet with a really awesome kalabaw meat dinner!!! The kalabaw meat is from Davao. My tito happens to go there on business so I was lucky to get some from him.
My left eye area is no longer swollen. Also, continuing improvement on my lesions. Also, less and less itchiness...

Anonymous asked: Hi again. Thanks for the prompt response to my comment on HN mineral makeup. I have not yet sent my feedback to Human Nature, but I intend to send an e-mail this coming week. I wont use the foundation and lipstick anymore, I'll just stick to the colorless lip balm, which is free from minerals. Do you know of a lipstick sold locally that is natural but devoid of nanoparticles? Or should I just...

Anonymous asked: Hello. I just read your blog regarding the use of micronized particles/nanoparticles in the Human Nature mineral makeup line. I have been using the product for about two months. I notice that after about a week of using the tinted lip balm, I felt that there are grain-like particles in my throat that eventually resulted in a cough that persisted for about a week. The cough eventually disappeared...

Anonymous asked: Even in babies with skin allergies, doctors usually prescribe cetaphil and the more expensive one, physiogel , for head to toes. Try dove shampoo too after your treatment. It's also mild for the skin. Well, that's my derma's advice. Pureology is also okay but very expensive. It's available in beauty salons like Profile along Katipunan.

Anonymous asked: Great food! Try organic arugula (from Sibol) salad with olives, tomatoes, walnuts and olive oil plus balsamic vinegar for dressing and a dash of pepper. Feta or Edam cheese makes it more delicious too unless you abhor dairy products. What about grapefruit juice? Or, red wine if you want something new (Chilean or Shiraz) You'll love it!

Slow recovery
Malunggay soup diet is great. My tummy has never felt better. (:
This is:
Day 12 of mainstream medicine.
Day 5 of malunggay soup diet.
Day 3 of new derma.
So after cautiously trying the steroid ointment 1x a day yesterday and the other day, I think I’m okay with it. I’ll start with the 3x a day prescribed to me, starting today. My final saline solution compress was last night.

I have a 500ml bottle of tea tree oil
it makes me feel… powerful!
*snuggling the 500ml bottle of tea tree oil!*
EDIT: LOL. It’s just so… massive! :)) So… If you want your own giant 500ml or supergiant 1liter bottle of tea tree oil you can head to the GIGA main branch at Tiendesitas and place an order. It’s P2,500 or P4,900, respectively. Totally worth it if your skin drinks the stuff like mine does....

Day 9
I decided to forego my last steroid pill today! =\ I’m taking Ilog Maria oral probiotic. Let’s see what happens.
My skin has never been this bad. So, it must be the synthetic medicines.
To cheer myself up
Been songwriting while sick/quarantined. I find it helps me keep my mind off things… :) Curious?

Breakfast today
A wonderful, simple broth with malunggay, kamatis, and maize. (No butter)
+ fresh sweet papaya!
Have resolved to eat NOTHING BUT malunggay soup every meal, every day, until I get better OR my skin turns green (whichever happens first)!

Anonymous asked: In my experience, I usually purge (meaning all the blemishes surface) right before I heal completely. Maybe that's why your condition seems to have gotten worse.
Also, it would be best if you do not deprive yourself. Eat as you normally would, since you eat healthy anyway. Make your body happy. :)

Anonymous asked: Yes, proper diet will help. Lots of water! If it's pimples around your face near the hair area, it be could be allergy to shampoo/conditioner. It took me two weeks to cure my pimples (due to severe stress plus allergy to shampoo) but only with injectable steroids, topical solutions of several kinds and regular visit to my dermatologist. No oral meds.

Day 7 of mainstream meds
So, I’ve finished my dose of oral antibiotics. Got a couple more days to go for the oral steroids.
I’m definitely worse off now compared to before the mainstream meds :c sigh… the natural medicines didn’t cure me but at least it didn’t get this bad! It got worse so fast this week!
Anyway, I’m going to try a sort of diet/purge now. Just malunggay soup (the...

Disappointed with mainstream medicine
Looks like I’ve reaffirmed that medicine is nothing more than trial-and-error. :c Oh well… it’s all a learning experience. I’m still glad not to be alone in figuring this one out. I hope I’ll be clear soon.

Day 5 of mainstream meds
To recap: I am on day 5 of oral antibiotics, topical antibiotic, and topical steroid. And, day 3 of oral steroids.
I’ve noticed 3 signs of it getting worse and 1 sign that it’s getting better. Hmm. Have already been to doctor twice this week and thinking if I should come in again today…
