sebaceous cysts

[Guest guest]

Does anybody know how to get rid of, or at least shrink, sebaceous cysts? The

orthodox line seems to be that the only way to get rid of them is to have them

surgically removed. But there must be something less invasive that can be done.

Pilonidal Cyst

Posts to Ask Dr Stoll BB regarding Pilonidal Cyst

 

There have been several posts to the Ask Dr Stoll

Bulletin Board (BB) regarding Sebaceous and Pilonidal Cysts.

Many of them have been archived here. The archive is roughly

chronological. I hope you find it useful.

 

Introduction summary for Sebaceous cysts:

 

To understand what you need to do to prevent sebaceous cysts and what

you have to do with large ones already present, you have to know how

they form.

 

Sebaceous glands make an oily secretion (sebum) that serves to

lubricate and keep skin moist and flexible. These glands only form

with the onset of puberty.

 

When one has a relative essential oil deficiency (extremely common in

our culture), fat and oil metabolism is different. The oily secretion

from sebaceous glands is thicker and stickier than normal. That makes

it very easy for the little duct, through which the secretion flows to

the surface, to get plugged up.

 

This happens at the opening of the duct to the surface of the skin

(pore) where the secretion starts to dry and to oxidize from the

oxygen in the air. This quickly can start a hard plug to form.

 

Just because the duct is plugged does not make the lining of the gland

stop making sebum. SO, it accumulates inside the gland and that

accumulation is called a " cyst " . As the pressure continues to build up

in the blocked gland, the lining gets pushed into the duct and

permanently blocks it. This is why surgical removal is almost always

needed once they get large enough to be a bother--OR following the

first infection. ANY space in the body, that does not drain normally,

will eventually get infected. The infection helps damage the duct.

 

By using the essential oils, the secretion soon goes back to the

normal fluidity of sebum AND it is less quickly oxidized or dried into

a plug. Since the sebaceous glands are the ones involved with acne,

one can easily see why essential oils frequently help acne as well.

 

Remember. Many metabolic functions inside the body are dependent upon

a healthy level of these essential oils. Anyone using them will not

only notice no more sebaceous cysts but that their health will improve

in many other ways at the same time: the positive side effects of

taking them.

 

Finally, there is a mechanical way to help remove these plugs before

the pressure in the cyst permanently blocks the duct as above. Every

time we take a bath or shower, the plug gets wet and sometines can be

removed just by vigorously toweling with the terrycloth towels we all

use. As a matter of fact, that is WHY these towels are MADE of

terrycloth. It is to make it easier to rub away the dead skin we all

accumulate on our bodies. It can remove early plugs at the same time.

 

Within 3 months of vigorous toweling after bathing, and starting the

essential oils on the homepage of this 'site, there should be no new

cysts forming. The old cysts will need to be surgically removed WHILE

THEY ARE NOT INFECTED AND WITHOUT BREAKING THEM DURING SURGERY. This

will keep the old ones from recurring.

 

I hope this also explains why cysts sometimes come back with surgical

removal: the duct is no longer functional and ANY scraps of the old

lining not removed will just continue making sebum--which will cause

another cyst to form. After all, that is what these cells were

programmed to do: make sebum.

[Raw Food] sebaceous cysts

sebaceous cysts? The orthodox line seems to be that the only way to

get rid of them is to have them surgically removed. But there must be

Mark, it is my belief that these are toxins coming out of the body. If you have

stopped putting poison into your body and are on a good balanced organic raw

diet, then they should lessen over a period of time and become non-existent.

Sometimes they will come to a head and release the toxins outside the body.

Sometimes they will just dissipate within the body and exit through the lymph or

blood systems. I'm not a doctor, but that is my understanding. A clay paste or

drawing salve may help them come to the surface and open up. Keep the opening

clean and covered so it can heal without infection.
