I hear that if you get a pimple around your chest it means someone likes you, If a single woman sleeps with a piece of wedding cake under her pillow she will dream about the man she will marry in the future, If you carry an acorn it's good luck.

Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry, As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off.

If a bee goes inside your home it means you will soon have a visitor, when a bell rings a new anel has recivd its wings,If you say good-bye to a friend on a bridge, you will never see each other again.If the first butterfly you see in the year is white, you will have good luck all year.If a black cat walks towards you, it brings good fortune, but if it walks away, it takes the good luck with it.

If you feel your cheeks are on fire someone is talking about you, To drop a comb while you are combing your hair is a sign of a coming disappointment. If your right eye twitches there will soon be a birth in the family. If the left eye twitches there will soon be a death in the family. If an eyelash falls out, put it on the back of the hand, make a wish and throw it over your shoulder. If it flies off the hand the wish will be granted.

A bed changed on Friday will bring bad dreams.
Any ship that sails on Friday will have bad luck.
You should never start a trip on Friday or you will meet misfortune.Never start to make a garment on Friday unless you can finish it the same day.

If your nose itches you will soon be kissed by a idiot. If you should dream of a deceased person and this person speaks only to you, pay close attention to what the spirit is telling you as it could be very important to you.

To dream of seeing a deceased person is normally a dream of warning, and it tells you that the influences around you at this time do not bode well for your affairs, and you should not enter into any binding contracts or verbal agreements. If a woman dreams of receiving a rose and places it in her hair then will she be deceived by someone thought of as a good friend.

If you use the same pencil to take a test that you used for studying for the test, the pencil will remember the answers. If you take a picture of 3 people the middle one is the one who will die first.If you spill pepper you will have a bad argument with your best friend.If 13 people sit down at a table to eat, one of them will die before the year is over.If you bite your tongue while eating, it is because you have recently told a lie.If a woman sees a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it means she will marry a sailor. If she sees a sparrow, she will marry a poor man and be very happy. If she sees a goldfinch, she will marry a millionaire.

Two people pull apart the dried breastbone of a chicken or turkey until it cracks and breaks, each one making a wish while doing so. The person who gets the long half of the wishbone will have his or her wish come true.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.
