Dear Dr. Robertson,

I enjoyed your article. I have suffered with acne since my teenage years and as an adult the problem still occurs. I will definitely look into cerasee but currently I am taking Accutane (the generic form, Amnesteem) and have tolerated it well (this is not my first course). If this course does not cure my acne, I am looking into a natural therapy such as cerasee and B-fillers such as Perlane or Restlyne.

As an aspiring Pharm D, one of my areas of interest is herbs and I have a few books on the pharmacology of Chinese herbs. Thanks for indicating the Jamaican herb book and various authors. I will search online for them and if I am unable to locate, in your next article, please mention where these books can be found.

S.L.

Dear Mr. Gardner,

I would like to ask you a question. I have a big tummy and it got worse after I had my first and only child three years ago. I would want flatter abs. Are sit-ups good to get that result and how much would you recommend per day and how long would it take for me to see results. Thanks in advance.

Tracey
