<B>Acne diet and the money factor: You can't sell a healthy diet</B>

Ask any medical doctor if there is a connection between diet and

acne and almost all of them will claim there is none. Quoting

from the Journal of the American Medical Association: " Diet

plays no role in acne treatment in most patients...even large

amounts of certain foods have not clinically exacerbated acne " .

With years of medical education and clinical experience behind

these claims, how can we the simple folks who suffer from acne

challenge these statements and think otherwise? The answer is:

doubt. Doubt, if its stays in the borders of reason, can open

many doors otherwise will stay forever shut. Believe it or not,

doubt can change reality. Doubt can cure your acne and doubt can

even save your life.

Fact is, countless of acne sufferers have reported that their

acne seemed to get worse when they consumed certain foods and saw

dramatic positive change over their acne condition when they

eliminated the same foods from their diet and when certain foods

with specific nutritional value were incorporated into their

diet.

So why do dermatologists so stubbornly insist that diet does not

cause acne? The answer: you can't make a profit promoting a

healthy diet. At least not as much money as you could make by

selling drugs and over the counters. There is a huge pressure

upon doctors coming from the drug and pharmaceutical companies to

prescribe expensive medications and lotions that create

dependency. The truth is, that your doctor is in a way, a hostage

by the trillion dollar drug companies. Did you know that the drug

companies, who have no interest in producing something that they

cannot control financially, sponsor most medical schools?

The right diet, although not a solution by itself, can, in many

cases, dramatically reduce inflammation and even completely clear

one's acne (if you're one of the lucky ones who's acne is

triggered by allergic response to food). Promoting a clear skin

diet simply means less profits for the drug and pharmaceutical

companies.

The truth is that conventional medications will never cure your

acne, simply because they are pre-designed NOT to fix the

internal cause of acne. They are pre-designed to deal with the

external symptoms of a disease as they create more and more

dependency and more dependency means making more money all at our

expense and ignorance.

The Theory That Diet Doesn't Cause Acne Is A Myth

The dogmatic theory that diet does not cause acne and that acne

is merely an incurable genetic disorder was based upon two dated

researches published in 1969 and 1971 that were aimed at studying

the connection between diet and acne.

These studies were the foundation of the 'acne symptoms

treatment strategy', meaning, because acne is a genetic disease

that cannot be prevented, the only way to deal with acne would be

to tackle its symptoms (bacteria, inflammation, puss, redness,

greasiness), by applying creams, antibiotics, taking prescription

drugs and over the counters.

Surprisingly enough, years after the above studies were

published, clinical trials and in depth researches experimenting

the acne diet link have found that the studies from 1969 and 1971

had came to the wrong conclusions and were in fact seriously

flawed.

Recent studies have clearly found a significant connection

between diet and acne. It appears that the wrong diet is now

thought to be one of the leading acne contributing factors that

can negatively affect hormonal regulation and the natural process

of toxic elimination, which can seriously aggravate one's

existing acne.

Diet Shapes Who You Are (Including Your Acne)

In the same way that crashing waves shape beach cliffs and just

like the wind shapes the canyon walls, slowly and methodically

over time, so does eating shapes and effects our physic, our

internal system, our physical and mental being, from the organ

down to the cellular level.

The idea that an object foreign to our body that is inserted by

the food that we eat, has no effect on us, or has no impact on

chronic conditions such as acne is absurd. Diet is the primary

thing that affects and shapes who we are.

Diet has cumulative effect on our bodies, and that includes our

skin condition and acne, which is a manifestation of a chronic

internal problem slowly shaped and built by the wrong daily

dietary choices over the years.

Acne Diet and The Kitavan Islanders

While in the U.S, more than 80% of teenagers between 16 and 18

have acne and more than 17 million Americans suffer from some

form of acne, there is an interesting evidence that native people

that live and eat in traditional ways, have significantly lower

to no occurrences of acne.

In 2002, Dr. Cordain and his colleagues published a landmark

study that examined 300 people living in the Kitavan Islands off

the coast of Papua New Guinea that showed that none of the

islanders had even one blemish on his or her face. Similar to

the Kitavans, no case of acne had been observed when the same

experiment had been conducted upon the South American Indians

called the Ache, living in a remote jungle in eastern Paraguay.

The natives of Kitavan and the South American Indians had no

access to the latest over the counters, topical creams or

conventional acne medications and they had no dermatologist to

consult with. The only vast difference between them and American

or European citizens is their diet.

Acne Diet and Sugar: The Sweet Poison

Aside from the fact that sugar is a 100% pure chemical with zero

nutritional value, recent studies have clearly shown a connection

between the consumption of sugar and the aggravation of acne.

When you consume any form of refined carbohydrates (white sugar,

white flour, white rice) here's what happens: right after you

insert that 'sweet poison' into your body, it rapidly spikes up

your blood sugar levels. Your body needs to bring those levels

down so it secrets a surge of insulin, other male hormones and an

insulin-like growth factor called IGF-1. The excretion of these

hormones overwhelms your liver and your internal system in

general. The excess of male hormones encourages the skin to

excrete large amounts of sebum oil: The greasy substance that

encourages the p.acne bacteria to grow, resulting in the

aggravation of your acne.

Acne Diet and Dairy Products: Got Milk? Got Acne

If you thought sugar can aggravate your acne, here's another

major nutritional player in the formation of acne: behold the

miracles of milk. Milk (all dairy products included) is the most

harmful, mucus forming, allergenic and acne aggravating food you

can find. Surprised? I thought so. After years of constant

brainwashing by the media, who can blame us for thinking milk is

good for strong bones and healthy teeth? The truth is: every sip

of milk contains 59 different raging hormones, (which trigger the

hyper-production of sebum oil resulting in more acne), saturated

animal fat, steroid hormones, dead white blood cells, and cow pus

in abundance!

Did you know that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows

750 million pus cells in every liter of milk (about two pounds)

produced in America? Think about it, the next time you pop a

pimple.

Scientific studies already point the finger at milk as one of the

worst acne aggravating foods: " As pointed out by Dr. Jerome

Fisher, 'About 80 percent of cows that are giving milk are

pregnant and are throwing off hormones continuously.'

Progesterone breaks down into androgens, which have been

implicated as a factor in the development of acne...Dr. Fisher

observed that his teenage acne patients improved as soon as the

milk drinking stopped. "

If there's one element you should remove from your diet in the

quest for clear skin make it this one. Not only will you see an

immediate improvement over your acne, you'll feel a huge weight

has been lifted from your body. If you worry about calcium

intake, don't! Milk being acidic forming food creates a leeching

effect where calcium is taken from your bones to balance the

acidity. Milk actually deprives your body from its calcium

resources. Green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds are not only

excellent sources of calcium they also have the powers to help

you fight your acne symptoms.

Diet Is Only ONE of The Factors That Cause Acne

Dairy products and sugar are not the only acne aggravating foods.

The two above cannot sum up the list of western made acne

triggering foods. There are several other foods you should

clearly stay away from if you ever wish to clear your acne. The

good new is that there are tons of other foods such as essential

fatty acids that are not only excellent for your skin, they can

actually help you clear your acne, by re-balancing your body and

promoting to an acne-free environment.

The right nutrition plays an important part in the complex

process of acne formation. When doctors claim there is no link

between diet and acne because certain individuals can eat

specific foods and get acne while others eat the same foods and

don't, these doctors have failed to realize that there are

several factors involved in the formation and aggravation of acne

and diet is only ONE of them.

The Final Verdict On The Acne Diet Connection: How To Finally

Overcome Your Acne Challenge

Acne is a complex condition that is triggered by several

underlying factors. The only way to neutralize your acne

condition is to tackle all these acne-contributing

factors-holistically. Since the wrong diet is only one of these

acne-triggering factors, in most cases no special diet can cure

acne.

There is a however, a tight connection between diet and acne

formation. Dietary factors can trigger and aggravate your

existing acne. Avoiding the wrong foods such as milk, sugar and

hydrogenated oils, and eating cleansing and hormonal balancing

foods such as green leafy vegetables and essential fatty acids,

can help your skin heal itself from the inside out and

dramatically reduce your acne symptoms.

There are also several important dietary principals that you must

understand and follow if you ever want to cure your acne for

good.

Taking responsibility over your body and adhering to these

dietary principals along with taking the necessary steps to

tackle all acne contributing factors, holistically, will not only

cure your acne permanently and give you the flawless acne free

skin you deserve, following these principals will also

significantly improve your overall health, mental well-being,

look and feel.
