Has anyone ever tried consistently taking molasses for acne? I suppose if candida was a contributing factor then this would be a problem, but some have had great success with it nonetheless...



ACNE
7/24/2006: Nathan from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam writes, "Supplementing my diet with molasses has decreased my Acne about 97% in two weeks. I take two tablespoons when I wake up in the morning, and two before I go to bed at night. It eases digestive problems, so if your Acne is related to constipation, it's a sure-fire bet. It also supplements you with minerals such as Chromium, which about 90% of Americans are deficient in."

An anonymous reader writes that Molasses & Sulphur (MSM) can cure Acne, "2 teaspoons of black strap molasses with one teaspoon of sulphur once or twice daily to cleanse the blood. Skin eruptions may increase initially -- an indication that the blood is being cleansed."

Also applying blackstrap molasses every night for about an hour after washing your face helps smooth your skin and gives you a glow due to all the vitamins and minerals it contains, and don't forget to take atleast 2 tbspns of it daily to keep regular. I like to put it in my red tea or in some warm almond milk along with some coconut oil, yum yum! Hope this helps all of you."

I've only been using the molasses for 3 weeks. Thanks a lot. I found simplicity lasts longer."

I have been taking it for the last 4 months and sometimes I mix it with ACV. I'm happy to announce that my nails and skin are looking very healthy. My nails have not been that bad but I have seen such a great improvement; they're not breaking or chipping like they used to before. They're growing very strongly and there're no white spots on them anymore. I read from the BSM book by Cyril Scott that BSM gets rid of the black spots and that's when I realised that they were gone. People are complimenting me on my skin, even men! I started taking BSM for something else but it seems to be doing a lot more. This stuff really works! V"

Michelle, from London, UK writes, "Blackstrap Molasses works for me! After the first fortnight of drinking a cup each morning with the juice of half a lemon, my skin felt really soft and had lost its dryness and my nails are growing stronger and more uniform. This is in addition to having a lot more energy, I have also managed to stop smoking and not experience the side effect of constipation. This remedy is the cheapest but most effective way of taking varied supplementary vitamins."

Molasses nearly cures acne
"I have had teenage and adult acne for several years. I started supplementing my
diet with molasses, at first one teaspoon twice a day (right when I wake up and
then after the last thing I eat before I go to bed). After a while I increased
it to two teaspoons per day, then one tablespoon, the four teaspoons, five and
finally to two tablespoons per day. In the first two weeks my acne increased, due to the cleansing of my system. After that, acne rapidly decreased. Now it's 97 - 99% gone. It's a miracle. I used regular molasses, as blackstrap molasses is unvailable here. But I hear blackstrap molasses is even better."
