      “…For example, stretch marks. I had a young cousin who was about six months pregnant and she showed me her belly had these like purple lightning streak patterns, half an inch wide and brilliant color with a zigzag shiny pattern and it was just the most vivid stretch marks I'd ever seen and I suggested eggs, milk, and oysters, which she ate for two or three days. I think it was just about three days later she came back and showed me her belly, no marks at all. Isn't that interesting?”

            @DavidPS that's the best way. I tried using cocoa butter for a while and had no benefit. I grew a lot of leg muscle very quickly at the end of high school and I've had stretch marks that haven't gone away. I'm going to give this experiment a shot next week. Much appreciated!

                I have not personally experienced stretch marks. The gelatin is a great idea as well. My thoughts is that it takes time to resolve even with the best diet.

                  Hi im looking for advice for fading stretch marks. Ive had great experience in the past using coconut oil/cocoa butter and vitamin e oil and red light. Some more stretch marks have recently appeared though around my biceps I think from building muscle too fast. I thought saturee cream would be good for stretch marks since it has coconut oil/vitamin e/naringenin/niacinamide. Anyone ever try this?

                  I suspect thyroid and time help, since the thyroid is the main gland involved in skin/connective tissue health. I’ve been using monoï oil (Tahitian gardenias macerated in coconut oil with added vitamin E) as my after shower body oil and consuming naringenin and B3 rich foods for years now, but it wasn’t until I had been on thyroid for a couple of years that the few stretch marks I developed on my hips when I was severely underweight faded. They’re barely visible now.

                  I have stood on a mountain of no’s for one yes. ~ B. Smith

                    @Jennifer For me these stretch marks appeared recently even though ive been on thyroid for months. Maybe i should get blood work again to make sure everything is still good. Also i will check out that body oil thanks!

                      @Serotoninskeptic, how long have you been at your current weight? I developed the stretch marks after I was weight restored, and was weight restored for at least 7 years and on thyroid a couple of years before they faded. That’s why I think time may be involved. And just a warning since you’re a man and some might find it too feminine for their liking—the monoï oil smells of gardenias.

                        @Jennifer I havent been fully weight restired for very long. Im pretty certain the marks developed from gaining the weight back. So like you said it will probably take some time before they fade.

                          @Serotoninskeptic, yeah, it seems likely. I’ve read that it’s common to get stretch marks with a large increase and decrease in weight, especially when it happens quickly. I was weight restored within 2-3 months of changing my diet and I noticed the stretch marks not long after.

                              Would be interested to see what topical methylene blue would do to stretch marks, might experiment on myself with tallow and MB mixed.

                                @Serotoninskeptic, yeah, not for some of us. My diet was dairy, shellfish, eggs and collagen—I had a bowl of gelatinous broth daily—and yet the stretch marks remained. In fairness, they weren’t colored but going by Ray’s account of his cousin’s stretch marks, it sounds like hers disappeared completely.

                                    @Jennifer I was just thinking about something. So let's say we were to adhere to Ray's advice and eat only milk, eggs and oysters for a few days. We were missing one important element - highly elevated progesterone from pregnancy. Now as a male, I don't like taking progesterone because it seems to have negative effects on my body but considering if we took progesterone with the suggested diet it might remove the stretch marks. I'm going to give it a shot next week.

                                      Interesting. I grew fast as a child, but only developed stretch marks after my thyroid crashed in my 20s. I just went to take a picture of them for reference and the few I had on my right side are gone now and the couple I still have on my left side I struggled to find. They don’t even show up in the pics. The only thing I can think of that changed since I inspected them last (this past August) is my diet. It’s still fruit-based, but I’ve been having a lot more savory fruits like avocados, black olives, heirloom tomatoes and pickled cucumbers, some veggies—mung bean sprouts and tender greens, mainly iceberg lettuce—and animal protein coming strictly from eggs.

                                        I think it’s worth a shot. I used Progest-E with the above diet, but my body responds poorly to progesterone supplementation when not supplementing thyroid so that may have been a factor.
