removing acne scarring?

[chaseLSU]

For anyone out there that was able to remove all acne scars and acne in general... I have a few questions

What were your staples? What did you eat the most and what did you stay away from that most raw foodists don't?
(if you've been successful with removing acne/scars, what is your stance on the following - a simple copy/paste of this list with a simple yes/no would be awesome):

cold-pressed olive oil
"raw" nuts
apple cider vinegar
cocoa
dates
dried fruit
inorganic fruits/veg
frozen vs fresh fruits/veg
out of season fruits/veg

Also, please provide any time table information you can! THANKS!!!!

There is a thread on here somewhere - reasonably recent - if I remember the title or the poster then I'll let you know.

Take a look in the before and after forum. It's not the thread I remember but you may find it interesting.

Not a complete answer, but do consider the use of proteolytic enzymes - they can be very effective for reducing scarring.

I doubt you'll fully remove acne scars, however, so don't get your hopes up too high. The raw diet isn't magic.

It is magic but even magic has its limits ;)

I cured my cystic acne completely with fish oil. After years on anti-biotics that only reduced the problem this cured it 100%. I haven't been able to find out why, but I have a hunch it has something to do with the anti-inflammatory properties. I have found others online and a very few dermatologists who have found out this works too, just for cystic acne though not regular pimples.

I know it's the fish oil that does it because I get severe cystic acne during my menstrual cycle, but if I take fish oil starting 3 days before it starts thru the end I don't get one pimple. I've been doing this for years.

For added skin health if I drink green juice daily, eat a lot of raw foods and cut out dairy my skin gets really smooth and glows.

But fish oil isn't vegan.

No it isn't, but it works. I tried flax oil, but unfortunately it doesn't work the same. I always like to share this remedy because cystic acne is very painful and the scarring can get really bad.

Argan oil is very good topically for scars and it is non-comedogenic. I use it on my very dry legs - and noticed after a time that my knee replacement scar had reduced SIGNIFICANTLY - others have even noticed. (The only difference because it is an old scar I had been RAW.) Nothing is going to remove all scars, but if it's a reduction you're looking for - RAW and Argan are a good combination.

I found this product on a raw food blog. I purchased it to help with my eczema. One of the benefits is that it helps to reduce scarring:

The great thing too is that it is a 5 oz bottle which is very generous. You can also buy it on Amazon.

I have this product and it is very good. I don't have significant scarring issues, but it does moisturize the skin very well.
