BIG News!!

In my quest to bring real victory to all those who still endlessly suffer, I am pleased to announce the beginning of the Second Phase of the medical research project I call,
“The Acne Practice”.


After I clear up the current office patients in New York over the next 2 months, I will be going virtual for several months to expand the home version video chat and begin work on what I will be calling, “The Acne Practice Affiliate Centers”


In this grand vision of the future of acne treatment, I will be setting up mini offices in every city all over the country, and eventually the world, to help assist clients with the Home Version. As you can tell from the countless hours of blogs and videos, this breakthrough project comes from a place of passion over all other business interests. With my original mission still as fiery as ever, I’m excited to announce that I will be making live services like evaluation and hands on treatment from affiliate practitioners available to everyone for lower prices than the world has ever seen prior.

Here’s the timeline of this next phase of the medical project.

1) Going Virtual on August 1st: If you are in the New York area and want to meet me in person, feel free to set up a free consultation anytime before the end of July.


2) Setting up the First Affiliate Center: The Acne Practice New York Affiliate Center will be opening August 1st in my current office space and will be delivering assistance with the home version for unheard-of low prices.

3) The Second Affiliate Center: Soon after things are running smoothly in the NY affiliate office, I will be opening the next Affiliate office in Los Angeles, California.
Likely by January, while creating this new practice, I will be making myself available in person to all those on the West Coast who are still in need.

4) The Third and Beyond: After NY and LA are up and running in a very tight system that brings incredible value to those that have so desperately needed it for so long, I will be opening up the flood gates and setting up affiliate centers all over the country.
Likely in this order: Chicago, Miami, Las Vegas, Houston, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston, Phoenix, D.C., Baltimore, San Diego, Detroit, Columbus, and the list goes on…

5) International Affiliate Centers: Once numerous US cities have been set up and the system has proven to be well organized, I will embark on setting up the first few International Affiliate Centers likely in this order: London, Toronto, Sydney, and beyond.



Mission #1 of eliminating pessimism regarding the treatable condition of acne has been accomplished. Since the presentation of the extended gallery on the home page, I have celebrated this groundbreaking victory.

Mission #2 is to give affordable local support to everyone around the world while they confidently embark on their own bootcamp journey.
This new affiliate project will help me achieve my final mission of victory for all those who still suffer all over the world.



Leave me a comment below if you are psyched about this new chapter of the project….!

Chronic Mini Bumps

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

These flesh colored mini bumps can drive people crazy.

Here are some observations I have made about them over the years:

1) They are more difficult to extinguish than people originally expect.

2) Humidy often times makes them worse. I used to call them humidity bumps on myself many years ago. (I’ve experienced many variations of this relentless condition)

3) They often times fail all standard acne treatments. (i.e. don’t be baffled if you have failed everything for these bumps)

4) They are almost universally downplayed by others. (have them read the post called “control issues” if they can’t understand)

5) They are often times misdiagnosed as anything but plain old acne. When frustrated by failure, patients and doctors start creating new diagnoses for plain old stubborn conditions.



Here’s a major case study of an acne variation I like to call “Mini Bumps”
(Possibly the first and only case study of its kind. View Full Screen.)

Knees Hurt on the Treadmill??

Monday, June 7th, 2010

hey Everyone,

I get a little excited whenever I have fitness breakthrough and would like to share this new one with you as it has been bringing me great rewards.


Although I can run hard and play sports on occasion, I have avoided running on consecutive days for decades because I repeatedly get knee and heel pains that cumulatively get worse over time. The problem is that weightlifting, crossfit, and my other workouts sometimes lack that sustained heart rate boost that brings hours of euphoria. I get bored easily on the bike or other machines.


If your knees, heels, shins or hips have been keeping you away from daily cardio also, try this new style on the treadmill:


Big Picture:
30 minute uphill climb at a slow pace.

Details:
-set the treadmill incline to 8.0
-set the speed to 2.5 to warm up. Increase to any comfortable slow speed. (I get to 3.5 after about 7 minutes)
-increase incline to 10 at around the half way mark (15 minutes)
-increase incline to 12, then 15 (max) every 5-10 minutes.
-keep speed slow ~3.5

as a beginner modification, you can also make the whole workout a fast uphill walk.
(This will probably be enough for those who are more susceptible to injury.)

The slow speed and high incline with give you both a sustained cardiovascular workout with minimal impact on the joints. It kind of feels like the eliptical, but much better.

I usually go for 30 minutes minimum and add extra minutes when feeling stronger.


try it…
and let me know how the sweet rewards feel.

Let me know if you are able to repeat the workout for multiple days in a row without hurting your joints.

-Dr. Neal
