What helps regenerate skin best?

Question by Kashkikov: What helps regenerate skin best?
I've got a couple of scars on my skin. I've heard that stuff like Emu oil, Aloe, and Tamanu Oil help, but I want other opinions. What works best?

There are a couple options... addressing it on the outside and addressing it from the inside. Both are very good and beneficial ways of doing it and you can even do them both at the same time.
You also heard right about the Emu Oil and Aloe, but there are many other options.

For external applications, one thing you can do is to take a 400 IU softgel of Vitamin E, then CAREFULLY poke a hole in it. Squeeze out the oil and spread it out evenly onto the affected area. If you have more than one area that's been affected, spread out the amount that's used evenly to each area, as too much vitamin E can build up to toxic levels in your body.
You can also try soaking your skin in Aloe Vera because that helps to soothe any tissue it touches.

Also, if you would like more benefits, there are some supplements you could take internally to help the health of your skin. Some of the most popular ones are Biotin, Silica (commonly from Horsetail), Emu Oil, Squalene, Borage Oil (specifically for the GLA, Gamma Linoleic Acid), Hyaluronic Acid, MSM, L-Cysteine, Collagen, and most antioxidants (like Vitamins A and C among others).
Good luck!

What pills or over the counter supplements helps repair worned painful joints?

Question by Jamesr2d2: What pills or over the counter supplements helps repair worned painful joints?
There are many pills with Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Are these the best? Do they work? What brands are best? Many people over age 45 or age 50 have some joint pain that is almost daily, especially if they did hard labor for a living for awhile.

There is also MSM, devil's claw, turmeric and collagen. They can rebuild worn cartilege, as long as there's some left... if the cartilege is completely gone, it cannot just materialize it out of thin air.
Glucosamine and chondroitin should be taken in divided doses 500 mg each 3 times a day.
There are homeopathic remedies like Ruta, Arnica and Rhus Tox that can completely remove joint pain, depending on your symptoms -- it treats the underlying cause.
You can read Asa Hershoff, ND, DC's book Homeopathy for Musculoskeletal Healing for more info. and perhaps see a Homeopathic doctor.
Beats the heck out of pain killers that do liver and kidney damage.
