Skin Tags have medical significance & serve as a warning sign that the sufferer is not metabolically healthy.

Dr. Annette Bosworth

Skin tags may be different than some lesions I have pealed from the skin and they never grew back.  So she may be talking here only about skin tags and not other lesions we might confuse with the label of "skin tags." 

Primary skin lesions are either present from birth or develop during your lifetime. Types include,

  • Bullae: A vesicle that is more than 1 centimeter (cm) and filled with fluid.  A blister.
  • Macule:  Less than 1 cm in size, a flat non-palpable lesion. See here
  • Papule or maculopapula: An elevated solid lesion, up to 1 centimeter in size. It has clear borders, is firm, and can appear in various colors.
  • Patch: A flat, discolored lesion, greater than 1 cm in size
  • Plaqu: A lesion that is raised like a papule, greater than 1 cm in size. It is solid, rough, and flat-topped.
  • Vesicle: A fluid-filled blister less than 1 cm in size
  • Pustule: Similar to a vesicle but filled with pus instead of fluid
  • Nodule: A circular, elevated, solid bump greater than 1 cm in size 

Primary skin lesions tend to be divided into three groups:

  • Lesions formed by fluid within the skin layers: Examples include vesicles and pustules.
  • Lesions that are solid masses: Examples include nodules and tumors.
  • Flat lesions: Examples include patches and macules.

Secondary Skin Lesions

Secondary skin lesions arise from primary skin lesions. This can happen when a primary skin lesion is:

  • Disturbed
  • Irritated
  • Changes over time

Keto diet fixes broken kidneys!!

From the journal, Cell Reports Medicine

Additionally, the keto diet (KD) is associated with reduced kidney volume (not reaching statistical significance).  Interestingly, the Keto Diet group exhibits improved kidney function at the end of the treatment while the control and WF (Water Fasting) groups show a progressive decline as is typical in ADPKD.  Safety-relevant events are largely mild expected initial fluid-like symptoms associated with Katie and transient safety assessment is complemental by nuclear magnetic resonance lipid profile analyses.

Nick Wehner adds, 

And they used to say that too much meat is hard on the kidneys.  Sugar said, "… It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me."

The Carnivore Curmudgeon gave an interesting testimony, 

I had to see a Nephrologist because I had 2 bad markers in a row. Couldn't get in for almost 3 months. Went Carnivore, and had clean markers. Doctor's advice: Watch this video about becoming vegetarian (I did not tell him I was a carnivore) and give up meat cuz it's bad for kidneys.

Is it possible to reverse dementia with diet?

Hal Cranmer's Arizona facility is called Paradise for Parents.  Find his periodic posts on Twitter @ Paradise for Parents.  Which is also the name of his Arizona assisted care and memory facility.  It looks like the diet is the key to his successes with his clients.  And that diet varies between a keto diet and a carnivore diet.  The fact that he's interviewing Dr. Shawn Baker, the prince of the Carnivore Diet, suggests that the carnivore diet is decisive in restoring health.

Treat Alopecia with Zero Carb Keto Diet

I do like Twitter for the dedication on the part of many people, doctors, scientists, and other professionals to help with their insights.  It's something, and you can't beat something with nothing.  And of course, we're all limited to 280 characters to get our point across.  The result is that we're all forced to talk in shorthand, which is why if anybody wants any traffic to their message or views, you really need a blog or website to organize your thoughts and arguments, then simply place a link to your site in your tweet.  Wouldn't hurt to avail yourself of bitly.com either. 

All this to say that you can often get more claims about some food, vitamin, mineral, or herb to fix this or that than you are to get any concrete proof.  The best we can do with claims is to simply try the products being recommended.  The worst that can happen is that you'd be out the time you devoted to the product as well as the financial commitment to see some results.  So that's where we're at.  Otherwise, you can spend hours combing through the scientific articles and inscrutable conclusions over at NCBI.  That can be fun.  

Zero-Carbo Keto diet makes sense to restore hormones.
Here we have red laser hats. And then pea protein in for the rescue.

But I think the hair restoration involves a handful of ingredients, biotin being a key one.
