Hi everyone,

This is my first curezone post, although I have been reading these forums for a while and I think they're wonderful. I want to do some cleanses/flushes eventually, but I think that's going to have to wait for a month or two as I'm in my last semester of college right now, applying to grad programs, and things are VERY hectic.

Anyway, I have had mild to moderate Acne for about 7 years now (I'm 21) and I too have tried so many different approaches but nothing has ever really cleared my skin. I don't know if any of you are familiar with the Essiac or "4-herb" tea, but I started taking it recently and I'm seeing great results so far.. within a day or two the redness and irritation has dramatically reduced and I don't seem to be forming any new zits at all right now. I haven't been on it for more than a week, so I know it's a bit early to be posting about it, but I haven't had this kind of a result from any other product I've ever tried. I bought the tea concentrate from herbalhealer.com (they seem to be a GREAT supplier by the way.. this was the first time I ordered anything from them)..

Anyway Essiac tea is usually used for cancer treatment but it is a powerful liver detoxifier and it seems to have a lot of other impressive qualities... The Essiac testimonials I've read have been QUITE exciting. People seem to get great results from this stuff for a variety of ailments.

Like I said, I do think it's important to cleanse and stick to a low-sugar/grain diet, but for those of you who might be interested, do read up on the essiac tea!! My skin really has settled down dramatically in a matter of days.

I'll post again in a week or two -- hopefully I'll continue to make progress!
