Re: Acne questions from an acne sufferer

I have that book. I did most everything in it, and while he is right about a lot of things, I dont think it can cure Acne neccessarily. Its a case by case thing.
Something I found out recently is about demodex mites.

I now feel that the mites are a BIG part of the situation causing my acne. Ive been treating them for 6 weeks now. I believe weak immune system, hormonal problems, toxins in the body, etc. Can make you weak to the mites and set off flares on your skin. I think thats why Liver Flushing helps so many people, as well as the other cleanses, but for me, these things have not cured me, and actually flared me more as a lot of the cleanses release a lot of toxins. I think that when you have a chronic infection in your face, like with the demodex mites (and my face has been chronically infected with painful pustules and papules for years now), it creates a weak point in your system and that your body tends to expell toxins there when their burden builds up more than the elimination systems can handle.

I think Leo's book would have been spot on if he had included a chapter on demodex mites. I like a lot of what he had to say. To me fighting Acne is like trying to put together a million peice puzzle. Its hard, but I wont give up.You are lucky your Acne has always been mild. I suffer from painful, deep cysts and pustules. It sucks!
