silent cries
December 16th, 2008
I heed voices in the distance screaming my name Silently Taunting me with whispers Spiraling through the wind As darkness looms before me. Acid tears become their pain Tiny drops of memories past. Reverberating screams Yet, only silence heard Indolently I flee for them Thirsting for their solace Silently I weep, craving their embrace Cynical fornications Denial my only fear Acid tears become their pain Tiny drops of memories past Reverberating screams Yet, only silence heard Hand in hand they wait As I stumble with each step Silently I wonder if they feel my soul As it cries out in pain With grim misconceptions Acid tears become their pain Tiny drops of memories past Reverberating screams Yet, only silence heard Will they guide me on my way? Or will I make this journey alone Silently Can the bouquet of pristine flowers Fill the spring time air Where they await my presence Does the sky still sing Its sorrowful song Silently Was this final destination Really worth their wait Optimism at its best Acid tears become their pain Tiny drops of memories past Reverberating screams Yet, only silence heard Tranquility overwhelms me An aura of peace Silently I stand alone Upon this road before me Distance uncertain I open my mouth to sing I extend my arms for comfort Silently No-one greets me No-one welcomes me To the other side Acid tears become their pain Tiny drops of memories past Reverberating screams Yet, only silence heard.

The Best Acne Cures - What Will Clear My Skin For Good?
September 24th, 2008
Acne is a uncomfortable and embarrassing skin condition that affects over eighty percent of people from their teens to their thirties, and yet, despite its prevalence, it remains a problem without a cure. This might be extremely disheartening news for the many people who suffer from it, but while medical science cannot yet fix the problem as they can a broken leg, medical advances in recent times have led to the formulation of many efficacious products that produce all the effects of what will hopefully one day be the best acne cures. And the best acne cures vary from person to person.
Acne is caused by the overproduction of the skin of oil called sebum, and the best acne cures would offer some foolproof way to regulate this. Unfortunately, the problem is not yet well enough understood to cure acne once and for all, but there are a range of topical and oral tools that can make management of the condition as effective as a cure. Sometimes age can be acne’s natural cure, but for those who prefer to take a more proactive stance there are many products that can affect results similar to a cure.
One of the most effective oral treatments yet developed for acne is a medication that can be taken at home, simulating for many the effect of the best cures. Accutane must be prescribed first by a doctor, and though it must sometimes be taken for six months before a real improvement can be seen in the skin, the long-term results have been as positive as any cure. Accutane is a strong drug that can have harsh side effects, but it has cleared the skin completely of many acne sufferers. Your doctor will usually prescribe milder medications before trying Accutane, but for many sufferers for whom nothing else has worked, it can bring all the results of an acne cure.
For those suffering with milder forms of acne, there are many other products that can act as natural acne cures. Dietary supplements, such as folic acid, echinacea and zinc can have drastic effects upon the skin, without introducing harsh and alien chemical substances into the body. A healthy diet and a good cleansing routine are also extremely important, as these are the basic tools for healthy skin, that will give your body the tools it needs to fight acne effectively.
So, what are the best acne cures? They are around, but they vary from person to person according to the severity of the acne they suffer.

What a Surprise - The Cause of Adult Acne is a Mystery!
September 21st, 2008
For many years medical science had no idea what caused adult acne. That’s probably because the medical community hadn’t noticed that there was such thing as adult acne. It may be difficult to comprehend, but until 1980s there was no such disease - even if about 25% adults are its victims to some degree. As with its teen version, it is difficult to determine the cause of adult acne.
Teen and adult acne
Teen acne has been researched for many years and certainly some information gained during this research can be used to understand the cause of adult acne. It is probable that whatever causes teen acne will also have something to do with the adult version of this disease.
Stress, dehydration, genetic issues or a simple hormonal imbalance?
The problem is that there are many conflicting theories concerning the causes of adult and teen acne. Almost everything has been blamed: stress, dehydration, having (or not having) sex, improper diet and genetic issues. In the case of teenagers, most of those “causes” seem to have no connection to acne. However in the case of adults, things aren’t that clear.
The immediate cause of adult acne is well-known: hormonal imbalances.
With teenage acne causes are more easily understood. Things are much more complicated with adult acne. Reducing stress, as well as introducing a well balanced diet has little effect on teenagers, but those tactics often work well for grown-ups.
How to heal yourself
The progress of adult acne depends on the immediate cause of the hormonal imbalance. Because it’s hard to determine what is the exact cause of adult acne, it is advised to do everything at once - change your diet, reduce stress and (in the case of women) - start using hormonal pills or Vitamin A.
In many cases the recommended pills are known to reduce the number of skin blemishes. This fact strengthens the theory that the cause of adult acne lies in hormonal problems. More importantly it often reduces the effects of acne, no matter what the reason.
Vitamin A helps to achieve the same effect. However only a synthetic analogue of the vitamin, called retinoic acid, has any effect on acne, “real” Vitamin A is useless.
The problem is that retinoic acid can be obtained only by prescription and hormonal pills are often avoided because of religious or philosophical reasons.
