Question
Dear Imran Rajan, I have been so nervous about my condition because I have been on the internet. It states that when a person has multiple epidermal cysts, it is colon cancer. No one in my family has ever had cancer or dies of cancer. I'm so afraid becuase I don't know no other association with my condition. When I was at the dermatology clinic, the doctor told me that what I had was rare and that it might be colon cancer or polyps associated with Gardners syndrome. The other doctor that was there said there are reasons to have epidermal cysts but he didn't say. I know that you said that free radical activity usually cause that, but are there any other reasons a person have epidermal cysts. I have eight in total on my forearms.

-----Question-----
I have just been diagnosed with epidermal inclusion cysts. I believe they have been appearing on my trunk as well as my thighs. I have bad acne that leaves blemishes on the sides of my face. The ones on my thighs and trunk appear then go away. I don't know if they are the sebaceous ones or not. The doctors believe I have a rare syndrome and now they are referring me to GI doctor. Please give me some insight on what is happening to me!

Dear Angie,

Thank you for your question, your email has now come through. EIC seems to have its cause in free radical formation in the body. This is usually accompanied by an under functioning immune system.

I would advise this be addressed as soon as possible.
Although, it is not as rare a syndrome as some believe it to be.

Free radicals can be eliminated completely by taking a good diet, one that is high in antioxidants. I have added dietary advice for you below. Antioxidants are found in any good super food available on the market today. The liquid versions are better. The one at the below website for example has shown triple the amount of anti-oxidants per ounce that are regularly found in noni, mangosteen or goji/wolf berry.

I would advise taking 2 ounces per day, as well as applying the liquid to affected areas. Please apply this to the acne as well as it will subside and inflammation will go down.

Together with attention to diet, the cysts should disappear.

General Dietary Recommendations:

Cut out all soy products, except fermented soy. Miso, tempeh and natural soy sauce are healthy. [fermented]

Soy contains goitrogens which depress thyroid functions. It also contains phytic acid, which hinders the body's ability to absorb proteins, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. In general, it is an enzyme inhibitor.

Do not drink pasteurized milk as it is quite harmful. Take only certified organic or raw milk.

Make sure you avoid all artificial sweeteners:
splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra-sweet, equal, acesulfame potassium.

Splenda/sucralose has become very popular these days and is just as toxic as aspartame. These sweeteners are found in store bought vitamins, protein powders, anything sugar-free, gum, chocolate, soda... etc.  Therefore please read labels carefully.

Both soy and artificial sweeteners compromise the immune system.

Cut out all margarine and hydrogenated fats. Cut out canola, rapeseed and soybean oils.
These are unhealthy. Replace with butter, ghee, unrefined coconut oil, sesame oil, and virgin olive oil.  

7 glasses of water per day is a good idea to help flush out toxins from the body. Warm or room temperature water, never cold. Never drink tap water. It must be filtered. Avoid drinking distilled water. It leads to mineral depletion and hair loss.

Educate yourself on vaccines: See information below:

Answer
Dear Angie,

Thank you for your question. If colon polyps are associated here, constipations is playing a role. And yes, this can be another cause of the cysts. It will be very important at this point for you to do a good intestinal detoxification immediately. Begin taking the super-food i recommended only after you have done this.

The formula's that have brought a lot of people success are the Dr. Schulze Intestinal Formulas. Please research them online. See also: www.herbdoc.com

Gardner Syndrome is associated here, it is the outcome of toxicity. Getting rid of toxic matter from your bowels is the first step to regaining your health. Please move forward with this.

Next, fear is something that must be addressed, as it is not helpful at all. It worsens conditions. Honestly, a perfectly healthy person can destroy health by identifying with the emotions of fear. Analyze the fear in your mind and how it manifests emotionally in your body. It is only energy, that's all. It is not good or bad, it is just energy. An energetic excess produced by the 'I' of fear. Remember that you are not your mind, body or feelings. You are a Soul living in the body, and the Soul is immortal.  

The energy or 'fear' you experience just needs to be let go of. This website offers an excellent program on releasing emotional limitations:

If you need further help or specifics, please send me your email address and i will send you some info (via email) that will help you understand how to release. In the subject line add: "release info needed" so i know it is not spam.

If you do send your email in your next letter, please make sure you mark your question PRIVATE, so that your address is not published on the web.

With best wishes,

Imran
