Re: nothing works for my acne! please help me

A "hundred times worse" ? Surely that's an exaggeration.

Having written 2 books on cellular cleansing, and been teaching classes for 14 years on skin & digestive repair at places such as The Crossings in Austin and The Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC, I've yet to meet anyone with Acne that doesn't improve with a basic cleansing diet. I'd be very interested to hear exactly what you did during your own "drastic protocols" that prevented your Acne from clearing up. As others have noted, a detoxification period can occur during the first couple of months, but beyond that, I've yet to meet a single person in all these years that didn't see a drastic improvement in their skin with a basic dietary cleanse.

I'd also make a huge distinction between "grains" and crushed grain products, such as flour. In most cases where people feel they don't do well with grains, in actually watching what they eat, and how they cook their grains, it always comes down to them not knowing how to properly cook whole grains, or in sneaking flour products into their diet throughout the week. The difference is huge. Also, that pinch of salt, and that full 50-60 minutes of simmered cooking (for most grains) is crucial for proper digestion. Also, in every case where a client had skin problems and started blaming grains, *to the person* they were eating horrible combinations of flour and oil and sugar, which is how most Americans get their carbs. Until they actually got that "grains" means, well, grains, and learned how to cook them properly and how to not add them in with crap oil, crap salt, or sweeteners, their skin would never improve.
