I was a patient at this clinic for 14 months. I am 38 years old and have suffered from acne since I was a teenager. I have previously been on antibiotics, accutane and every type of topical treatment. I used proactiv for years until it no longer worked. I started on Minocycline and took various dosages for 14 months. It worked while I was on it, but eventually stopped working. I noticed I was feeling tired, and my body ached all over. I started researching the effects of long term antibiotics. I mentioned to Dr. Hughes that I was concerned with the amount of time I was on it. A very nice lady, but would only tell me that I was fine. And the plan was to try to fool my body into thinking that the acne was gone. I went back to my family Dr. with my concerns with how I was feeling. She said simply "sometimes acne is in your genes". I was not satisfied with this. I stopped taking the medication and stopping eating dairy. My acne still flared up, but I couldn't live with my body in that much pain every day. I ended up seeing a Naturopath for the first time ever. I needed to solve the reason that acne was happening and not just trying to fix it once it started. I had many blood tests and based on my tests and symptoms it was determined that the antibiotics did so much damage to my stomach and intestines. I had candida and leaky gut. Finally I could start somewhere. I have been on a very strict diet to get rid of the candida and heal my body. I am 91 days in to the diet, I feel fantastic and the acne is going away!! I have also switched to all natural products on my face and hair to eliminate any other outside sources. I can't believe for the first time in forever I am not on medication and my face is clearing up. Please seek other answers if you aren't happy with what you are being told. It has changed my life. I finally feel good again.
