For years I also struggled with acne, so I sympathize completely. May I ask: have you done any colon cleansing? And how conscientious have you been about cleaning up your diet?

Typically, skin eruptions occur when toxins can't successfully be eliminated through the bowels and kidneys, so it is important for the bowel to be clean and clear. And a diet based on fresh, green alkaline foods with lots of clean water and good, natural oils is essential for skin health.

If you can tell us a bit more about your diet and digestion, it might help us respond in more detail.....

I have had Acne for about 28 years, believe it or not. I had done just about everything except go on Accutane to cure it. The only thing that worked was liverflushing and doing a lot of bowel cleansing, and that included getting colonics.

I had done tons of bowel cleansing, fasting detoxes, and a ton of candida cleanses, but nothing really PERMANENTLY cured me.

If I keep my bowel clean and liver flushed, I have no Acne at all. I do take supplements and I also had all my silver mercury Amalgams replaced, because mercury exposure causes terrible candida, a HUGE contributor to acne.

Persistant Acne can be a huge puzzle, but with the right knowledge, you should be able to cure it, but you MUST take a multi-pronged approach. Bowel cleansing is a MUST for people with acne....it's just as important as liver flushing. I did a kidney cleanse, and that seems to have helped as well.

Love your name! (and the group) Guess that was what compelled me to reply, as I've no experience with acne. Still get pimples though, (at 52 yrs old,) does it ever end? I was wondering if you break out predominantly in one area, like chin? That would indicate colon. (sound familiar?) The skin takes the toxic load and breaks out when other means are over loaded. This means that Liver Cleansing alone is not enough. Sounds like you need major house cleaning. The bowel's the most logical place to start as it's THE major organ of elimination. Just like cleaning house, you can move the garbage around from room to room, but till you get it out that back door the place is still a mess. I've got a feeling your diet's a key factor too. Alot of Sugar and meat don't help things. Sorry there's no quick fix, I get frustrated and impatient too. DON'T fast or Master Cleanse, it may be too much for your system. Follow general guidelines for cleanses, pick at least one item from your diet to eliminate (mine was milk)and take it day by day. Good Luck Marj

from what i have gathered from reading various forums and other sources, Acne is a sign that your organs of elimination are over taxed, thus the body also overuses the skin to eliminate toxins. the toxins however clog and irritate the skin. more cleansing is indicated. consider a kidney cleanse, and colon hydryotherapy... also, changing to a natural soap (no animal fats or chemicals) that does not clog the pores like most soaps.

Acne has also plagued me for a long time. Some factors that i that significantly contribute to my Acne are any dair or wheat, (Sprouted wheat seems to be just fine) Stress is probably one of the biggest factors. It has really been a long journey for me, i used to have to worst skin and Acne problems, i look at old pictures of me and they a disturbing! I started out a couple years ago slowly starting to eat according to the Blood Type Diet (i'm an a) And i've been completely compliant for at least the past year, i can't tell you how much that has fixed my skin, not to mention i have no more allergies, i'm not longer depressed and my chronic sinus problems are gone. But that's beside the point ;) I also meditate frequently, I eat very little meat, only fish and eggs occasionally, I've done a 30 day round of The Master Cleanse which really helped get rid of some stuff that had been hanging around for awhile, now i'm on to liver flushes. Also, i found that smoking pot was one of the bigger contributors to my acne.

took me 24 flushes i think, or was it 28? the point is i've now done 37 flushes and my Acne went away a while ago. the amount of Liver Flushes i've had to do is uncommon. the point is i still had a significant amount of stones, and it still dissappeared.

i have tons of Amalgam fillings, my Acne is gone...it is possible. but Liver Flush was the only thing that finally made it go away.

i didn't notice any initial improvement from bowel cleansing. however i had done several Bowel Cleanse BEFORE i managed to get rid of Acne so they may have helped even though i didn't notice it. and i have heard of peoples acne going away after they did a really thorough bowel cleanse. so it has to be done no matter what.

and yes diet is extremely important. if you can, try to figure out what foods trigger your acne, or make it worse. it's tough at first, but if you're really serious you can do it. candida is usually involved and anytime you consume certain foods your skin will get worse. sometimes it's hard to tell if you're still eating one or two major triggers that you aren't aware of. process of elimination, and well addition.

and yeah peanutbutter is an awful thing for acne. hydrogenated oil surpeme, horrible. dairy is another one. i don't think anyone should obsess about the amalgam, yes it needs to come out at some point, but MAJOR improvements can be made with it still in there.

wouldn't hurt to switch to green tea 5 times a day, black tea is much more tough on the immune system which helps candida thrive even more. just a tiny detail, but they add up. seems like your diet is good in general, it's really cool that you've made that effort. probably one of the most difficult. you will see an improvement from cleansing, there's just no way to determine when. thats the part that sucks.

all in all, Liver Flush and bowel cleansing in combination with good diet seem to be the most powerful approaches to axing acne.

i recommend you start doing some bowel cleansing for a couple weeks or at least full week until it's time for your next liver flush. two things at the same time. consuming HIGH amounts of green RAW vegetables, low protein and staying away from trigger foods, will speed up the bowel cleansing process. try to get ahold of some herbs that help break up the mucoid plaque. also it is VERY important to colonize with good bacteria. they help fight off candida, i recommend primal defense.

also, it's very helpful to take an herbal combination the helps break up mucoid plaque while you're bowel cleansing. heres an example of a powerful one called "chomper".

don't worry about purchasing the herbal nutrition supplement they recommend, i don't think it's needed. eat good food. organic if you can.

anyway the guy who wrote "your last acne solution" he recommended the chomper. the thing i do want to recommend is that book. he knows everything inside and out, and lists everything you need to do. you can search on google and it will come up. it's the real deal, a total no joke approach. the testimonials are real, he also has a support website. yes i bought his book even though i regularly visit curezone. i was seriously impressed. that dude knows whats up.

of course you don't need to buy the book, you have help here. it was just nice to see it all together and organized.

best of luck mr. pink floyd.

Hi, everyone. I am an occasional visitor, and wanted to ask why the Bowel Cleanses make my Acne so much worse?

I was on the P&B shakes a while back, determined to clean myself out. I was getting good resluts as far as changes in my bm's, etc., but my gosh was my skin a horror!! I had horrible cysts that actually scarred, which has never happened in my life. To this day, all I have to do is take ONE teaspoon if psyllium and I get a break out! I know that it is supposed to clean you out, but it seems like it just stirred things up like a big dust cloud and made a bigger mess!

I thought I had the complete answer a few months ago using dandelion and milk thistle. My skin was perfect. However, I seemed to develop an allergy to the dandelion, and the milk thistle alone does not work as well. I am extremely sensitive to any clensing and detoxing, so it has been a struggle.

I cannot do the Liver Flushes until I build my liver with herbs, and they all make me ill.

Well, thanks for "listening"!! Any ideas are appreciated!
