<h2 style="text-align: center;">Discover the missing zinc acne treatment co-factor in this report</h2>
<p class="B-text">You&#8217;ve heard for years that zinc is a very important mineral for acne sufferers.</p>
<p class="B-text">Several studies confirm that zinc dramatically improves acne symptoms.  Some studies even suggest that zinc acne treatment is more effective then the drug tetracycline.</p>
<p class="B-text">Yet other studies seem to suggest zinc does nothing for acne.</p>
<p class="B-text">What&#8217;s the real scoop?</p>
<p class="B-text">Well my friend, listen closely because I&#8217;m about to clear up the zinc acne mystery for you.</p>
<p class="B-text">After reading this report you will know why zinc acne treatment is <strong>SO</strong> effective for acne symptoms <strong>sometimes</strong> and why it doesn&#8217;t work other times.</p>
<p class="B-text">And you&#8217;ll have the <strong>KEY</strong> missing piece to the zinc acne treatment puzzle.  You&#8217;ll know exactly how to get <strong>CONSISTENT</strong> and <strong>DRAMATIC</strong> results with zinc acne treatment.</p>
<p class="B-text">Pay attention, because zinc is one of the natural acne treatments you definitely should look into.</p>
<h2 class="S-titles">What is zinc?</h2>
<p class="B-text">Zinc is a mineral found naturally in foods.  It&#8217;s crucial for so many functions in your system.</p>
<p class="B-text">In fact zinc plays a key role in over 300 enzymatic reactions in your body.  It also is crucial for your immune system.  Without optimal levels of zinc in your system white blood cell count and T-killer cell count (immune system stuff) drastically drops&#8230;hampering your immune system.</p>
<p class="B-text">This is why zinc has proven again and again to lessen the severity and duration of colds.</p>
<p class="B-text">But what does zinc have to do with acne?</p>
<h2 class="S-titles">The zinc acne relationship</h2>
<p class="B-text">As explained in the special report, <a href="cause-of-acne.html">The TRUE Cause of Acne</a> acne is caused by hormonal imbalance combined with congesting blood toxins.</p>
<p class="B-text">Well my friend, it turns out <strong>zinc plays a very KEY role in hormonal balance.</strong> Zinc <strong>IN CONJUNCTION</strong> with a few other key nutrients helps to balance out hormonal production.</p>
<p class="B-text">The end effect of the hormonal balancing of zinc acne treatment is that <strong>if USED properly</strong>, and if used <strong>with these other key nutrients</strong> zinc acne treatment will actually <strong>NORMALIZE</strong> your skins oil production.</p>
<p class="B-text">In addition to that, it will help your body kill off any over growths of acne bacteria.  But in all my experience with it that is the least important aspect for acne sufferers.</p>
<h2 class="S-titles">Zinc inhibitors</h2>
<p class="B-text">But that&#8217;s not the whole story&#8230;</p>
<p class="B-text">It turns out there are some substances that will <strong>drastically</strong> impair the action of zinc in your system.  And some actually &#8220;deactivate&#8221; zinc in your system.</p>
<p class="B-text">If these substances are in your system then all the zinc acne treatment in the world will do nothing for your acne.</p>
<p class="B-text">This is one of the major reasons so many of the zinc acne treatment studies showed such a dramatic improvement for acne symptoms in one study, yet showed NO improvement in other studies.</p>
<p class="B-text">It&#8217;s because the zinc acne treatment researchers didn&#8217;t understand that zinc is working <strong>IN CONJUNCTION</strong> with other key nutrients, and they didn&#8217;t understand that zinc inhibitors were blocking the zinc acne treatment from working.</p>
<p class="B-text">And believe me&#8230;it took me years to figure it out myself.  Zinc acne treatment worked <strong>SO WELL</strong> sometimes yet not at all other times.  It wasn&#8217;t until years later that I was able to piece together this mystery.</p>
<h2 class="S-titles">How to use zinc acne treatment effectively</h2>
<p class="B-text">Well first remember, that zinc <strong>does not act independently</strong>.  Zinc will only be effective at normalizing hormone production and normalizing skin oil if used <strong>in conjunction</strong> with the zinc co-factors explained in <a href="acne-cure-tutorial.html">the program.</a></p>
<p>In addition to that, you need to be aware of zinc inhibitors and avoid them.</p>
<p class="B-text">Next, you need to ingest <strong>OPTIMAL</strong> levels of zinc in your system.</p>
<p class="B-text">Zinc is found in foods such as egg yolks, fish, legumes, soy lecithin, sunflower seeds, and whole grains.</p>
<p class="B-text">You should always try to get your nutrition from foods, but here&#8217;s the rub&#8230;</p>
<p class="B-text">Zinc is a mineral (not a vitamin).  And foods will only have as much zinc in them as they soil they were grown in had.</p>
<div><span class="RBLB-text">No zinc in the soil&#8230;no zinc in the food. </span></div>
<p class="B-text">And conventional farming methods use fertilizers that do <strong>NOT</strong> contain zinc.  As a result most foods have little to no zinc.</p>
<p class="B-text">The same goes for animal food sources of zinc.  The resultant food will only have as much zinc as the diet of the animal had.</p>
<p class="B-text">It&#8217;s pretty hard to get it from your diet alone these days.  It&#8217;s a very common deficiency.</p>
<p class="B-text">Since it&#8217;s such a key mineral for acne sufferers, and pretty inexpensive, this is definitely one of the minerals I would suggest you consider supplementing with.</p>
<p class="B-text">I&#8217;ve researched and experimented with zinc acne treatment to death.  And I can tell you from all my research and experimentation that there are only 2 forms of zinc that consistently work for zinc acne treatment&#8230;<strong>EVERY</strong> other form of supplemental zinc did not work accept these 2 forms&#8230;</p>
<p class="B-text">What are they?</p>
<p class="B-text">Zinc gluconate and Zinc Monomethionine (otherwise known as Opti-Zinc).</p>
<p class="B-text">And of the 2 I strongly favor Opti-Zinc (Zinc Monomethionine).  Don&#8217;t waste your time with any other form of zinc.</p>
<h2 class="S-titles">How to use Opti-Zinc for zinc acne treatment</h2>
<p class="B-text">If you read all the studies on zinc acne treatment, generally they were using in the range of 30-100 mg a day.</p>
<p class="B-text">And it is often suggested that zinc should not be taken in excess of 100 mg a day.</p>
<p class="B-text">But here&#8217;s the twist on that&#8230;</p>
<p class="B-text">Copper is a competing mineral for zinc.  Excess copper hinders the action of zinc in your system.</p>
<p class="B-text">And with the widespread use of copper piping and birth control pills (very high in copper), copper toxicity has become more and more common.</p>
<p class="B-text">If you have high levels of copper in your system then you will need to take zinc in as high as 300 mg a day for before you will get results with zinc acne treatment.</p>
<p class="B-text">If you do not have excess copper in your system then 50-100 mg a day will work like a charm if used <strong>in conjunction</strong> with the zinc co-factors explained in <a href="acne-cure-tutorial.html">the program</a><a href="http://www.acneyoda.com/buy_now.html">.</a></p>
<p>How do you know if you have a copper toxicity?</p>
<p class="B-text">Good question.</p>
<p class="B-text">If you take birth control pills then you are at a very high risk.  If you drink tap water from copper pipes that is not filtered or purified in some way then you&#8217;re at a considerable risk.</p>
<p class="B-text">If you have a Caucasian blood line and your nipples are brown (not pink) then you have a SEVERE copper toxicity.</p>
<p class="B-text">In addition to that, someone skilled in a muscle testing procedure known as applied kinesiology can quickly test you for a copper toxicity non-evasively.  It&#8217;s a simple procedure you can learn your self with a little practice.</p>
<h2 class="S-titles">Zinc acne treatment effective, yet not enough to cure acne</h2>
<p class="B-text">While zinc is a very <strong>KEY</strong> mineral for normalizing hormone production realize that hormones are one half the acne puzzle&#8230;congesting blood and lymph toxins are the other half, and zinc doesn&#8217;t do anything to fix that.</p>
<p class="B-text">So you need to use zinc acne treatment as part of a more comprehensive program to balance your hormones and purify your blood.  Checkout the <a href="http://www.acneyoda.com"> Acne Cure E-Tutorial</a> to discover how.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 class="H-line"><strong>&#8220;Is mega dose vitamin b5 acne treatment safe? And does it work &#8220;</strong></h1>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span class="S-line">Discover the disturbing side-effects our vitamin b5 </span><span>experiments</span><span class="S-line"> produced&#8230;</span><span class="B-text"> </span></h2>
<h2><span class="B-text"> </span></h2>
<p><span class="B-text"> </span><span class="B-text">Wouldn&#8217;t it be a dream come true&#8230;you just pop a vitamin and POOF your acne&#8217;s gone&#8230;no side effects and completely safe. </span></p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">That&#8217;s what so many of the proponents of pantothenic acid acne supplements are claiming.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">According to the b5 acne theory to cure acne all you&#8217;ve got to do is take <strong>EXTRAORDINARILY</strong> high doses of pantothenic acid (vitamin b5) and your acne will disappear.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">What&#8217;s the real scoop?</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">Well, I&#8217;ve spent considerable time, money, and experimentation and put several volunteers through substantial discomfort and risk to bring to you the <strong>TRUTH</strong> about the vitamin b5 acne theory.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">In this report I&#8217;m going to reveal to you all the shocking details about the vitamin b5 acne theory.</p>
<p><span class="B-text">This report is a definite <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">MUST READ</span></strong> for you if you&#8217;re considering b5 acne treatment. </span></p>
<h2 class="S-titles">The vitamin b5 acne phenomenon:  What started it all&#8230;</h2>
<p class="B-text" align="left">The vitamin b5 acne phenomenon all started with a paper published by a doctor named Lit-Hung Leung.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">In this paper he proposes a theory that acne is caused by a deficiency in vitamin b5.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">So summarize Leung&#8217;s theory&#8230;</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">High fat diets aggravate acne because the body is not metabolizing fats properly. (I certainly <strong>don&#8217;t agree</strong> with this, I&#8217;m just summarizing his theory.)  Coenzyme-A is necessary for the metabolization of fat.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">Coenzyme-A is formed from adenosine triphosphate, cysteine, and pantothenic acid.  And of those pantothenic acid (b5) is often the deficient one.  So if you don&#8217;t get enough pantothenic acid then your body can&#8217;t make enough coenzyme-A.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">Here&#8217;s where Leung&#8217;s theory gets interesting&#8230;</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">Coenzyme-A is necessary for both fat metabolization and hormone synthesis.  And if coenzyme-A is lacking then hormone synthesis takes precedence over fat metabolization.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">So when you&#8217;re body&#8217;s producing lots of hormones (for instance during puberty) then your body needs more coenzyme-A to synthesis those hormones, and if coenzyme-A is lacking then your body will choose to synthesize hormones rather then metabolize fats.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">According to his b5 acne theory fats start to accumulate in the skin&#8217;s oil gland causing an increase in sebum&#8230;which leads to acne.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">So what he&#8217;s saying is that the reason acne is associated with hormones isn&#8217;t because of the hormones themselves.  But because the hormones are &#8220;robbing&#8221; coenzyme-A for hormone synthesis that could be used for fatty acid metabolization if there was an abundance of coenzyme-A.</p>
<p><span class="B-text">In effect fatty acid metabolization is getting &#8220;shafted&#8221; by excess hormones. </span></p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">And to correct a coenzyme-A deficiency all you need to do is take as high as 10 to 20 <strong>GRAMS</strong> (Not milligrams) of pantothenic acid (b5) a day.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">Pretty interesting theory&#8230;and when you read his paper it all sounds very compelling. <strong>But does it work?</strong></p>
<h2 class="S-titles">Vitamin b5 acne theory put to the test</h2>
<p class="B-text" align="left">Being an investigator of natural acne treatments it&#8217;s my job to check this kind of stuff out.  And I&#8217;ve always been willing to give anything a try despite how crazy it sounds.  But I don&#8217;t take <strong>ANYONE&#8217;S</strong> word for it&#8230;I&#8217;ll always put it to the test.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">I had my reservations with such extraordinarily high doses of vitamin b5 for acne, but I went ahead anyway.  I followed the guidelines exactly as the paper suggest&#8230;between 10-20 grams a day divided up in a minimum of 4 doses per day.  The vitamin b5 acne theory was tested with several women and men and athletes as well.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">When the initial experiments did not work to cure acne, I tested various doses and several different brands of pantothenic acid.  I really, really wanted this to work.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">But sad to say&#8230;It did <strong>NOT</strong> work on anyone I experimented with, despite the dose or brand of pantothenic acid they were using.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">What&#8217;s worse is <strong>it caused nausea, and chronic low energy and fatigue in virtually everyone.</strong> In several people it caused cracks in the corners of the mouth that would not heal.  Others reported poor wound healing in general.  And still others reported headaches.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">Granted, this was far from a formal scientific study.  I simply purchased b5&#8230;showed a few volunteers the study, and took their word for it that they were taking it as directed.  But despite my best efforts over several months, <strong>I could NOT duplicate any of reported benefits for acne sufferers</strong>.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">In addition to that, I have yet to find anyone <strong>IN PERSON</strong> (not some random story on the web) who has actually had <strong>long-term</strong> success, not the intial placebo response, but rather long-term success with the mega dose vitamin b5 acne treatment.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">So from my own personal experience I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion&#8230;</p>

<p><span class="B-text"><strong>Vitamin b5 does <span style="color: #ff0000;">NOT</span> work for acne treatment and is <span style="color: #ff0000;">DANGEROUS</span> in the doses advocated by the vitamin b5 acne theory and the vitamin b5 acne theory is flawed.</strong> </span></p>
<p align="left"><span class="B-text">Here is why I think that&#8230;</span></p>
<h2 class="S-titles">Why the b5 acne theory is <span style="color: #ff0000;">wrong</span></h2>
<p class="B-text" align="left">If acne was in fact caused by a vitamin b5 deficiency then it wouldn&#8217;t take nearly as much of the dose being advocated to correct the deficiency.  B5 is used as a treatment for several diseases, yet well under 2 grams and usually less then 0.5 grams are typically used with results for these other various diseases.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">If a vitamin b5 acne theory was correct as proposed then virtually <strong>EVERYONE</strong> deficient in vitamin b5 would have acne to some degree or another.  This <strong>ISN&#8217;T THE CASE.</strong></p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">If a vitamin b5 deficiency was the cause of acne then simply supplementing with b5 would cure acne. <strong>WHICH IT DOES NOT DO</strong>.  Believe me I&#8217;ve tested it again and again.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">Despite how convincing the sales pitches are, despite what studies you may read on the net <strong>the bottom line is <span style="color: #ff0000;">RESULTS.</span> Does b5 produce results?</strong></p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">And I&#8217;m telling you I&#8217;ve tested the b5 acne theory again and again and <strong>not ONE person I&#8217;ve tested this on cured their acne</strong>.</p>
<p><span class="B-text"><strong>Not one!</strong> </span></p>
<p><span class="B-text">No dose or brand of b5 had a positive effect outside of the initial placebo response! </span></p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">Not only does it not work, but it is <strong>dangerous</strong> in these high of doses&#8230;</p>
<h2 class="S-titles">Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is <span style="color: #ff0000;">DANGEROUS</span> in high doses</h2>
<p class="B-text" align="left">The proponents of the vitamin b5 acne theory claim that since b5 is a water-soluble vitamin any excess would simply be excreted from your system.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">And in any reasonable dose I would agree with them.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">But think about this&#8230;</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">Your body has to excrete the excess vitamin b5 from your system, and to do that takes time.  And while the excess vitamin b5 is in your system <strong>it&#8217;s going to have an effect</strong>.</p>
<p><span class="B-text">We&#8217;re not talking about a little excess here, but were talking about <strong>MANY TIMES</strong> what is normally in your system. </span></p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">Secondly, the balance between various nutrients in your system is very important.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">To illustrate&#8230;</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">The balance between calcium and phosphorous is very important&#8230;so important that if you ingest excess phosphorous your body will leach calcium from your bones to keep the ratio of these key electrolytes in balance in the blood.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">The same is the case with b vitamins&#8230;</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">The b vitamins work <strong>WITH</strong> each other in a complex and <strong>synergistic</strong> relationship.  For them to work properly they have to be kept in proper ratio to each other.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">If you ingest excess of any one b vitamin your body will try to balance things out by leaching the other b vitamins from anywhere in your system it can.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">So what you are doing by ingesting these extraordinarily high doses of vitamin b5 is leaching out of your system key b vitamins like b3, b6, and b12.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">This is why I believe fatigue was the most common side-effect on the vitamin b5 acne treatment.  Because these other b vitamins are so key for metabolization of nutrition for energy.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">B5 does not exist in <strong>ANY</strong> foods in these high of doses out of balance with the other b vitamins.  In my opinion it is <strong>ill advised</strong> to be taking it in such high doses long-term.</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">If the b5 acne treatment worked I would be the first to tell you.  I&#8217;d shout it from high heaven, but it doesn&#8217;t work&#8230;as convincing as the theory sounds <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>IT DOESN&#8217;T WORK</strong></span>, and is <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>DANGEROUS</strong></span> in the doses that are being recommended!</p>
<p class="B-text" align="left">My prediction is the vitamin b5 acne phenomenon is going to burn out real soon because it doesn&#8217;t work.</p>
<p><span class="B-text">Hear me now, believe me later! </span></p>
<h2 class="S-titles">A better alternative to mega doses of vitamin b5</h2>
<p class="B-text" align="left">B vitamins are only a small piece to a much more complex acne puzzle.  I unravel the whole acne puzzle and how b vitamins (including b5) fit into the acne puzzle in the <a href="acne-cure-tutorial.html"><strong>Acne Cure E-Tutorial</strong></a>.</p>
<p><span class="B-text">In it you will find the <strong>ONLY</strong> approach I&#8217;ve found for natural acne treatment that works, and the only approach that actually corrects the <strong>ROOT</strong> cause of your acne.</span><span class="B-text"> If after reading it you&#8217;re still bound and determined to test the vitamin b5 acne theory yourself, then I would suggest you <strong>AVOID</strong> pantothenic acid.  But instead use pantethine.</span></p>
<p><span class="B-text"><br />
Pantethine is much more readily absorbed form of vitamin b5, and would work much better for <a onmouseover="window.status='Atkins Pantathine'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.natural-acne-treatments.com/" target="_new">b5 acne treatment.</a></span></p>
<p>And I <strong>STRONGLY</strong> suggest you take it in no more then 1 to 1 1/2 grams a day.  If a vitamin b5 deficiency is in fact contributing to your acne then that would be a more then sufficient dose to compensate for any deficiency.</p>
