I haven't had skin problems, just really disgusting bladder problems. My approach was to start from the bottom up. Vitamins, and cutting out sugar and caffeine, along with other supplements. Boosting the immune system. I eventually, after gradually working on this for a few years, just got used to not eating so much sugar and stuff and I had less to worry about as far as bladder stuff. It sounds like you aren't drinking tons and tons of Pepsi, but the amount you are drinking might make a difference in your health. Maybe just start finding other things to drink, if you want to quit, and do it gradually. The skin does like a healthy body. Maybe you can get your aide to massage you? When I couldn't find an answer I tried everything.
As far as protein goes, I wish I knew myself. I have a nutrition book I need to get back into while I start my physical therapy. I'll try to remember to share what I learn from that, but maybe you could google daily proportions or something. It's a start. I think diet is super important and I hate to harp on something, but the naturopath really approaches health from that angle. Oh yeah, FISH OIL! That'some pretty powerful stuff. The refrigerated kind especially. That's my 2 cents ;-) How long ago was your injury, btw? -k On 3/19/07, Dillon Ewa <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:
Hello again, hello, I wanted to ask all of you a question that might help solve my most immediate concern and prime factor keeping me from being more participative, both socially and vocationally. I drink two or three glasses of Pepsi a day and wanted to know if caffeine is so bad for one's skin that it should be eliminated from my diet altogether or just reduced? I believe I drink plenty of water, mostly in the morning and evening hours. Can one drink too much water, maybe? Also, how much protein is appropriate to eat in one day. I take protein drinks and try to keep meat or food with protein regularly in my diet. I just cannot find a solution to my skin problems. Dillon
