About ClearPath

Why this exists, who built it, and what it's trying to do.

I built ClearPath because I was tired of the cycle. Flare, Google, buy a new shampoo, get temporary relief, flare again. Repeat for years. Every dermatologist visit ended the same way — "use ketoconazole, it's chronic, you'll manage it." Nobody could tell me why it kept coming back or what I was doing wrong.

So I started reading. Not Reddit threads (well, those too), but PubMed papers, mycological research, clinical trials on biofilms, the gut-skin axis, lipid biochemistry. What I found was that the information to build a much better protocol already existed — it was just scattered across hundreds of papers and no one had assembled it into a single, actionable, evidence-graded resource.

That's what ClearPath is. It's not a miracle cure. It's the protocol I wish someone had handed me on Day 0, with every intervention graded by the strength of its evidence, structured in the right order, and paired with a tracking system so you can actually measure what's working.

What ClearPath Is Not

I'm not a doctor. I'm not a dermatologist. I'm not selling you a proprietary supplement. ClearPath is an educational resource built from peer-reviewed research, clinical case reports, and honest personal experimentation. The protocol is free. The tracker is free. Your data stays in your browser — I never see it.

The Routine Calibration service exists because I've learned that most people already have the right products — they're using them in the wrong order, at the wrong frequency, or they're missing a critical step for their specific triggers. That's what I help with.

The Philosophy

Kill the biofilm first. Then the yeast. Then rebuild the barrier. Then fix the terrain. That's it. That's the whole protocol in one sentence. Everything else on this site is the evidence and the details behind that sequence.

I also believe in being honest about what we don't know. Some interventions on ClearPath are graded "Anecdotal" — that doesn't mean they don't work, it means we don't have controlled studies yet. I include them because real people have reported real results, and excluding them would make this less useful. But I label them clearly so you can make informed decisions.

I'm currently working with a Chinese medicine practitioner alongside the Western protocol. Some people will think that's pseudoscience. I think it's worth tracking. The gut-skin axis she's treating is the same one that $200M biotech companies are now studying. I log everything and report honestly — including when things don't work.

Get In Touch

If you've achieved remission using a method not covered here, I want to hear about it. If you're a researcher and I've misrepresented your work, I want to fix it. If you just need someone who gets it — I've been there.

The best way to reach me is through the consultation form or by supporting the project through a donation.
