The acne business is a large entrenched industry, with huge amounts of money to throw around on advertising and brain washing. Even the pharmaceutical industry has a big stake in this business because of the prescription on antibiotics in the treatment of acne.
The fact is that antibiotics is the worst treatment for acne ever devised. Does it work? Well, yes, it can work fairly well. But, these wonder drugs will kill off your good as well as harmful bacteria in your intestines, causing serious damage to your immune system. Also, new conditions like leaky gut syndrome have been linked to the long term use of antibiotics. This causes fatigue, low energy, arthritis, depression, among other things. That’s what we get with traditional acne treatments, some benefit but also terrible side effects.
Over the counter acne treatments and even fancy creams and lotions that you see on TV don’t treat the root cause of acne. And many times they may leave our skin much worse off. These products usually over dry and irritate our skin, leaving it red and looking even worse. It’s not a good solution.
We need to be going to the heart of the matter and treating our problem with a natural methods which not only clear our skin but create a healthier and more beautiful person in the process, that’s real healing. Natural methods involve topical skin care with natural treatments as well as internal healing of imbalances, and hormone balancing.
Each individual case of acne is different and can be treated with natural methods slightly differently. For some, removing certain foods and beverages is critical, for others it’s not an issue. For example many people have undiagnosed food allergies, commonly with wheat or dairy. A lot of times these issues are hard to detect, but rotating the foods out of the diet will help us know for sure.
Some people have heavy metal toxicity issues, especially if you live in an urban area. Toxins and low immunity are big problems and cause acne in many people. A detox diet or a detox juicing diet may be necessary to clear up the skin.
It’s best to educate yourself on all the natural healing methods available. Acne is an awful condition because it lowers our self esteem and effects every area of our lives. Studies show that people with clear skin are happier, more socially active, make more money, are more attractive, and so on and so on.
