It seems that the reason you were told that your Acne is related to emotional issues is because they couldn't find anything else, not because they found emotional issues. You mention seeing a naturopath. Does he practise kinesiology? If not you should find a good kinesiologist. I know my kinesiologist can muscle test for Depression and anxiety. I suffer from bad anxiety, which I didn't know about until he diagnosed me, mainly because I was so used to it I figured it was normal. He was able to muscle test some substances that help deal with it and I am taking those. His opinion is that Acne in a lot of cases is related to stomach issues. One of his patients who suffered from bad Acne took a vacation to Greece to see relatives there and his acne dissappeared. He thought it was from all the swimming he did in the ocean there but my AK didn't buy that explanation. The guy was thinking about moving to Greece he was so happy. It turned out he had radically altered his diet while there and he had cut out high fructose corn syrup, and this is what had caused his acne to go away.

I applaud you for your efforts, you have obviously written off a lot of factors. From what your saying it clearly sounds like it's your stomach that is causing the acne. There's a reason for every thing that happens, and, don't mean that in a religous way. So, if you can't find a reason for why it is happening then you can't give in to the idea that it is incurable. Remember, Acne is only ever a symptom; fnding the cause to your stomach problem is what I would look for. You've obviously been doing exactly that, but, perhaps you need another way going about it. As far as naturopath's go, there are so many with different ways they can go about looking for problems and getting their diagnostic. I had been to four different ones before I found a lady who could acually diagnose me with a problem. Most of them do iridology (spelling??) where they look at your iris. That is always a good indicator of your body's health, however, it wasn't until I found a lady who does live blood testing did I find a problem that could be fixed. You acually look at your blood cell's on a screen with your naturopath and they can explain any problems going on in your body. I was surprised to find out that there are SOOO many factors with blood that can indicate bad health. They can then diagnose you with a problem going from the test. The way I see it, Acne is directly related to whats in your blood (if you count out external bacteria and what not).

I hope this is of some help. best of luck finding the problem and I know you'll get there with persistance.

Locate a pratitioner (close to you) practicing "family constellations" by Bert Hellinger, and attend at least 1 session where your problem is considered.

The answer is there.

I happen to be a natural health practitioner that was led into this field due to autoimmune related illness and severe disfiguring Acne and saw many dr's including dermatologists.

I felt the helplessness and dispair that you feel with this type of condition and can assure you that your answer does exist and it's probably right under your nose. I know that's no help when you still need a solution.

i am very successful with skin conditions and it is my guess that you are absolutely on the right track, and have used all the right "peices" but don't know how to get it to all fit together.

for example, you cannot just try removing grains and Sugar from diet, and say oops that doesn't work, i'll try something else.... you have to do that AND while doing that do perhaps three or four or more other things at the same time to assure the FORMULA begins to work for you. Success lies in understanding the true underlying cause that's affecting your skin and when addressed properly to take the proper steps/ therapies in the right order, it seems miraculous and an incredible gift to those around you... , but by that time with your newfound understanding... it seems so simple and foolish since the mystery is now gone.

Have you ever wondered how long do I cleanse which organ? and for how long? and how do i know when it stays clean or how to keep it clean? Does cleansing restore the organ or just cleanse it? Unfortunately it doesn't restore it's function, but helps to. There are other measures one must take and be aware of the interdependent workings of the various parts of the body and how the organs are playing a role with affecting the one organ - your skin.

That formula is deigning a dietary AND supplement protocol that addresses why your skin, as an organ of elimination is taking over versus your other organs handling the toxins. It's not only what to take, but of course what NOT to take so that the program of lifestyle changes becomes effective and there are no insults that negate the nutritional benefits of the program. One can address this both to alleviate symptoms while addressing the underlying cause to reverse the condition and restore the body completely. Both topical and internal recommendations to resolve the issue. One should not be dependent on drugs nor supplements to a large extent once the body is balanced.

if you would like some professional guidance, I usually can restore the skin with most of my clients (having been challenged myself in this way in the past) within about a few months time. You may want to contact/ email me.

The point here is for those of you seeking, not to give up... natural remedies do work, but often times people get frustrated going about it the wrong way and lose hope and make the unfortunate conclusion that they have done it all and it's not their answer and the sad part is..... this avenue truly is the answer when done right and they preven themselves from true healing by abandoning the right path and wasting effort and sometimes harm in going in other directions.

Hi there,

Acne is an indication that something is wrong internally - yes stress can aggravate it but I do not believe that is the sole cause. When you have done your cleanses did you do them in the right order? See Dr Hulda Clark 's website for the correct order to cleanse the body. If your colon is backed up and you cleanse for example your liver/gallbladder your body may dump toxins and not be able to eliminate them in a timely fashion and then they will be redistributed into your blood stream. Also acidophilus is important and you should try digestive enzymes as well. First thing in the morning drink warm water(filtered) with the juice of 1/2 an organic lemon - can add a dash of cayenne pepper. wait 20 mins and then drink another glass of water with a tbsp of Bentonite clay (liquid form), 2 tbsp of organic olive oil and 2 tbsp or organic apple cider and 1 tbsp ground organic flax. Eat clean foods. Exercise. Drink 1.5 - 2L of filtered water daily - more if exercising intensely. Wash face with a gentle cleanser - try Jamieson Foaming Cleanser. At night before bed and in the morning if you like mix up 1 tbsp of organic apple cider vinegar and 2 tbsp Bentonite clay (liquid) and use a cotton pad and apply to your face - avoid the eyes. Let it dry. This may sting or cause your skin to turn red. At first my skin was red for an hour, so allow this time to normalize before you go on to work etc. If it is uncomfortable for you rinse it off with tepid water. Otherwise let it dry and rinse it off. You will need to exfoliate probably occasionally throughout the week as this mixture will make the face peel a little. Find a gentle exfoliant. Can use quick oats mixed with warm water and scrub and rinse off. You may require a moisturizer - I use the breathable moisturizer from Dermacia - it has not caused any breakouts yet and have been using it for 6 months. The apple cider has a decongesting effect on the skin as well as internally. These are only recommendations however and they have worked for me. All products are very affordable and a large amount of literature is available on the benefits of the consumption of these products and as for the product recommendations they have worked for me. And last but not least, you have to learn to love yourself and not care what you think other think - be kind to yourself. In regards to Acne scarring I have had a laser peel which was okay but now I am dealing with brown spots. Next week I will be applying a "Culture skin peel 4000" to attempt to remove those. I will let you know how it goes. Good luck. I think the food allergy test is also a good idea.

Take care

It sounds like you are dehydrated. I never saw a person with Acne that wasn't dehydrated. That means you are water and/or salt deficient. Go to watercure2.org for the complete recipe. View the TV news special on it. Read Acne testimonials.
If this is the case, you will see results in a few days. If you don't let me know. We rarely fail and it won't cost you one cent. all we ask is that you pass it on.

Let me know of any other health problems. Is your skin dry, have low energy whatever.

My heart goes out to you. My own granddaughter has also suffered tremedously with incurable Acne and i keep looking for answers. I have had many problems as a result of auto-immune dysfunctions and have tried almost everything you have listed. Over the years I have discovered that allergies are at the bottom of many imbalances and problems. Definitely pursue allergy testing to determine whether that is the cause - or at least a contributor to the Acne problem. One thing I stumbled upon recently that is very potent is Olive Leaf. Read the article about olive leaf posted on
http://www.quantumbalancing.com
This is the site for EMR Labs and they have a number of excellent articles postsed, however they do not sell olive leaf. I found the best quality with the highest acid content and the best price at Puritan's Pride. No sales tax and free shipping on orders of $25 or more. The olive leaf at Puritan's was under $3/bottle for 60 caps - a fraction of what other companies are selling it for. My son-in-law recently started taking it for his allergies and noticed considerable improvement immediately. I started using it and within a couple days my circulation improved and Arthritis and joint pain completely vanished. Skin lesions are healing - and I have been dealing with these for years. Olive leaf is potent, so you could react to die-off quickly (within a day or two) as I did. Drink lots of high quality water. Olive leaf is being used for cancer, AIDS, herpe virus, allergies and a host of other health problems. Good Luck and abundant Good Health!

I am wondering if your take ibuprofen. I had horrid, deep, painful Acne on my face that was unyeilding after multiple attempts to treat. I have discovered by chance that it was ibuprofen that was causing the breakouts.

Still get a few small pimples, but they are managable. They don't hurt and clear up quickly on their own.

It could be effecting your GI track as well.
best wishes

Nothing is incurable, you just need to keep trying. Do a live juice or Water Fast and while you are on it then cleanse your liver and colon. The fasting itself you will see the Acne go away and cleanse the organs when you are on it will give more dynamic results. The other thing that may help you use Castor oil on your face in the evening. I have cured my self of MS and I know when I am on a fast my skin looks awesome, if you would like to read the start of my story

Hi, I was so sorry to read your post; you must be very frustrated, and you are much to be commended for continuing to try such a lot of things, and not giving up. You sound very strong. I have also suffered from Acne most of my life, and still, at age 36. Very frustrating.
The only thing that ever worked for me, and it worked 100%, was an all-raw diet. Well, probably, it was more like 90 or even 80%, but I was always shooting for 100%. This diet was difficult to stick to, time-consuming, and sometimes dull if I didn't give it the time it needs, but I never felt healthier or more beautiful in my life. I literally looked like a model. Even my regularly clogged pores on T-zone that I daily extract sort of "harmless" white small oil plugs from stopped filling and remained clear. My weight was perfect, my skin flawless, even my emotions were in check and under control. No foul breath, just a clean, light, energetic feeling always, and I only needed five hours of deep sleep a night! My bowel functioned very well, twice daily at least, and stools were of great "quality".
With all those benefits, you can see that unlike you, I am not a strong person, and after several months of this wonderful state, I lost the self-control to stick to it, and hence, my issues came back. Still, I thought I would tell my experience here, if it might help you.
These days, going raw is very, very popular. There are many books you can find with recipes that range from easy to gourmet. Here, in Los Angeles, many health food markets have a raw food section where you can buy meals. Even in Austin, Tx, the Whole Foods market there has one, too, with a very popular "cheesecake". Sometimes the ready-made to-go versions are a little self-defeating, since the idea is to have as fresh as possible food, complete with enzymes and nutrients. But, if one is very busy...
My mom is a colon therapist and tells many horrors of what cheese does to the bowel, so no doubt that would be a no-no for you. It's also my downfall.
Lastly, do look at your makeup. It's probably not this simple for you, but off raw, I still did notice a great improvement when I switched to Bare Minerals all natural mineral, non-comedogenic makeup. It actually has a slight improving effect in makeup quality. You can get it online or at Sephora. I really love this makeup. Even in hot, humid weather, it doesn't make me break out.
I wish you all the best, and hope you find an answer to this challenge!

Hormones are a huge factor. Diane helped me some what. But that is for girls only.
I am one of these people that have been dealing with Acne for 30 years with no real lasting results :~(
