    I am 60 yrs old and have alot of damage from sun and smoking over the years...At the age of 40 yrs old I got skin cancer on my face and that was my turning point... I started protecting myself from the sun and quit smoking...So please protect yourself from sun and quit smoking while your young is the best advice I could give...

      physcial protection from the Sun is better than sunscreen, if you could do both thats great. A lot of people laugh at Asian holding umbrella under the sun but it really works great, here in Singapore, China Japan and Korea people use umbrella to block sun and prevent premature aging.

    I tell my patients the reason to take a high quality collagen supplement is not because it can be assimilated into the tissues but for its gut healing properties which in turn improves macro and micro nutrient absorption and decreases GI and systemic inflammation. Which has a positive effect on skin.

      Yes! I had clear skin my whole life & when I hit 30 9 yrs ago I started breaking out like crazy. I finally figured it out. I can’t eat dairy or sugar. A few wks ago I ate something very sweet & 2 days later I had pimples all over my face for the first time in years. Consuming omega 3’s, probiotics also keep my skin from freaking out. But I tried for years & years to fix the problem topically. I have about the same skincare routine now. Only diet changed.

      There's nothing to "disagree" with. Biotin triggers acne is not a true statement. I don't know why people confidently speak in these absolutes. Taking any supplement is your choice, I'm not telling anyone to take anything. Biotin or any other thing I've ingested didn't ever cause breakouts. My body doesn't work like that. If something causes acne in a small percentage of people it's not true to say it causes breakouts overall.

    In my late 70s, this past month I’ve used collagen powder product as an experiment. For few years I’ve gotten subcutaneous bleeds whenever I scratched my forearms, like for insect bite. I have diabetes, never smoked (yuk), drank very little alcohol or even caffeine. Have intentionally scratched my forearm several times in the last few days and NO subcutaneous bleeds!😊🎉 So am now searching for foods to focus on instead of buying powder. I share this in hopes it might be of benefit to others. After listening more, I realize another factor is I’ve been eating a mandarin orange almost every day to help absorb iron-became anemic due to a bleed,so this is probably part of the equation.

    When I started eating carrots regularly, I noticed my skin would start looking a bit clearer and brighter. This was really nice when I was oily and still getting some pimples. Convinced me that I likely didn't need any pills or biotin pills to make a difference in my skin.

    Dear Dr. Dray and followers. As a young mother (years and years ago-- in my young and stupid days-- who still suffered with acne, I was taking vitamin A supplements, hoping for some improvement. After not getting any results, I thought maybe increasing the vitamin A would certainly help. So I tripled the dose. Before long I noticed my skin looked gold-ish and I felt as if I had a bad case of the flu--but it didn't go away. I felt so sick that I finally went to the doctor. As it turned out I gave myself hepatitis from all that vitamin A, and which of course was making my liver very unhappy. I was sick and weak, and could hardly walk to the kitchen. I was sick for 5 months! I had no knowledge about stored vitamins, and what the result could be. I didn't learn that until years later. Since I had a young baby and a toddler, it was a particularly hard time. And I was also contagious, so no family or f.riends
    could come to help. Or even visit! Best of luck to followers of Dr. Dray. When she warns not to take a large amount of something, you must listen.
    A hard lesson learned, and I hope to save someone else such a result. NO
    fat soluable vitamin overdoses, please. (ADEK) The liver can only handle sooo much.

    I was advised by Dr. Ray Strand approximately 20 years ago to add 300mg of Grapeseed Extract to my daily treatment. I have SLE, Sjogrens and Hoshimotos for over 50 years. I was also advised to eat in the manner you've encouraged. I'm lucky my mom is French and this is typical (or it used to be) the way the French eat so I've eaten very well my whole life. I quit using the grapeseed to save money and there was a significant difference. I resumed the grapeseed after 5 years and if nothing else, my joints have a slight, noticeable improvement. My physician believes I "do better than most" in managing my illness due primarily to my healthy diet. This doesn't mean I haven't experienced life-threatening episodes, but I heal and tolerate these episodes "better than most". Thanks for this video.
