Three factors that contribute to acne:
1. Poor elimination of waste from the bowel (primary).
You see, the foods we eat today tend to be very high in sugar content and starches, like flour. Add these to the amount of unhealthy oils, and the colon can easily become packed with waste that should have been removed from the but just sits there feeding bacteria back into the blood stream.
This leads to many illnesses, not just an acne problem. So the poorly eliminating colon becomes a feeder of toxins the other organs must deal with. The liver becomes overtaxed. When it can no longer handle the large amounts of toxins, the skin, and the other organs of the body, must pick up the slack in eliminating waste.
Your body, if you remember, strives to maintain a balanced, healthy environment. Because the toxins are foreign to this environment, the body “knows” to expel them-anyway it can.
2. Dry built-up skin blocking the pores from over drying products.
Drying agents and over-the-counter products don’t do the trick, either. In fact, they often make it worse and more painful because of the build up of dry skin blocking even more pores. Here is why.
Almost all of the drying agents, such as benzyl peroxide and salicylic acid, dry out the upper layers of the dermis (skin) and cause it to flake and peel.
Salicylic acid is the key additive in many skin-care products used for treating acne, calluses, dandruff, psoriasis, corns, and warts. Like benzyl peroxide, it causes affected skin cells to flake off.
However, as these agents dry the skin-the job they were designed to do-the flakes can build up and actually block pores where oil and bacteria can create infections and pustules. This can lead to deep inflammation and cystic acne breakouts-exactly the opposite effect of what you are trying to accomplish. These agents are manufactured to prevent acne but instead contribute to acne.
Cystic acne can be a very serious acne problem. Essentially, this kind of acne is defined as the occurrence of abscesses (localized infections) that are resistant to healing. Characteristics include:
- deep infections with large nodules or cysts
- infections that do not “come to a head” at the surface
- little or no discharge
- blackheads and whiteheads that may or may not be present
- very slowly healing infections that can become a chronic problem
- probable scarring
3. Overgrowth of Candida Albicans yeast that put toxins in the body and blood stream.
There has been much written on the condition of Candida infection. The compacted waste in the colon contributes to the higher than normal presence of Candida yeast, which produces toxins of its own.
These toxins add to the already heavy burden of the body trying to remove them. Almost every time Candida is brought under control, acne diminishes or disappears completely.
In order to detoxify the body completely, you needed to remove the metals and toxins in the liver that will prolong acne relief.
