Zileuton, Boswellie and 5-lipo-oxygenase
Great post by Dan who has been doing some research on Boswellia (Boswellic Acids) as a natural inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase.

It will be interesting to see any follow up messages.

"I am having remarkable results with the Boswellia, with none of the harsh side effects of the Ivermectin I took (see my Ivermectin post on 12/10/04 for more info). The first day I took Boswellia, I noticed an almost immediate - within 2 to 3 hours - reduction of sebum production. Since then, I've seen a further decrease in sebum production, burning sensations, P&Ps, the odd KP like rash I get on myarms, legs and stomach and the seb derm in my scalp. Each day, my skin seems to get better, and at this point, my skin is in AMAZING condition - the seb derm on my scalp is gone, my skin is pale (yes, this is a good thing), I've only had a couple of very short lived instances of burning sensations in the last week - one after way too much wine, and my skin looks clearer than it has in 30 years"
