Acne Treatment should begin with a Change in Your Diet
If you suffer from acne, here is a
`letter' from a former Acne patient to you to offer the most
effective yet common sense acne treatment to "zap those zits!"
Dear Friend,
As the Father of Medicine; Hippocrates once stated: "Let your foods be
your medicine, and your medicine your food"
It will be an understatement to say
he is correct and had I known of this during my close to a decade of
marring acne and sheer waste of money on so-called acne products,
perhaps my life-at that time-would have been much happier.
Well, now that I do know, with the staggering number of acne patients
left (last time I stumbled on the number, we are talking 50 million plus
people folks!), I feel the least I can do is inform
or better still remind the public of this simple discipline towards acne
treatment, naturally and permanently.
I can boldly say, starting
today, if you suffer from acne and want to see it gone, like I did so
many years back: You have to stop eating acid forming/disease forming
foods. In lay-man terms: Junk and processed foods and drinks. How did I
figure this out? Well, at the time I was a Michael Jackson fan and had
read in some books on him that he as well as Jermaine, his brother,
suffered from severe acne as teens but were able to control it with a
change in their diet, from the Standard American diet to a healthier
vegetarian one.
Needless to say, I swore off junk food as the first step towards a
successful acne treatment and started
doing my own research to validate this claim and indeed, that suggestion
is correct. "You are what you eat!" is a saying known all over the
world, and what you consume has arguably the most effect on your overall
health. Now since the skin, according to Dr. Stanley Burroughs, is the
second most important eliminating organ, it only makes sense that what
is consumed should not leave a detrimental residue to aggravate skin
eruptions.
Moreover, all processed and junk foods and even foods of the animal
kingdom, tend to not only constipate the visceral organs, but they
poison the
blood,, which my friends aggravates the other causes of poor health
like stress, insomnia and the like. Remember, blood DOES flow through
the brain. No one is saying that other factors like losing a job, death
and the like don't still exist. Far from it,
but from an internal point of view, you have to make the effort
to change your diet for not only
acne treatment but overall improved health and fitness.
TThat said, herein lies a suggestion for a successful treatment of acne
conditions. No, I'm not a religious fanatic but hey the Creator cannot
be wrong folks: "Every herb bearing Seed and ever fruit bearing see in
it shall be
yours for food. Gen 1: 29" Okay, I'll break it down, for a successful
acne treatment, eat more (if not exclusively) Fruits and vegetables.
Of course they are best enjoyed raw AND organic (if possible), but can
be also relished properly cooked. (So don't steam with excess water AND
by all means AVOID THE MICROWAVE-trust me I know what I'm saying)
Also, for external acne treatments
ensure that you change the pillow-case nightly if possible, sleep on the
right side (face clearly off the pillow), avoid harsh chemicals, avoid
positioning your face underneath a
shower (especially when it's hot).this for 2 reasons-doing so
introduces harmful chlorine into your lungs and from my experience,
aggravates acne by drying out the skin and consequently suggesting to
the dermis that it needs to produce more oil than needed to lubricate
the skin.
You may want to pick up facial massaging or simply washing the face with
cool
water. In addition, it doesn't hurt to occasionally steam your face.
Try using boiled DISTILLED water though for the same reasons on avoiding
Chlorine inhalation above.
Now, you try this for a week and I bet you, you will see a drastic
improvement in your skin condition
via this superior, yet common sense method of acne treatment.
Sincerely, br />
Foras Aje
PS
It's been fun writing this, but I wanted to add.throw in a fast or a
restricted fruit diet of a seasonal Juicy fruit for just 3 days with the
external factors above. You will thank me that I told you this.trust me.
