For Acne

Acne is an inflammatory skin disorder, and displays itself in pimples, blackheads and whiteheads.  It affects about 80% of all Amerians between the ages of 12 and 24 years old. 

Many women suffer premenstrual acne flare-ups brought on by the release of progesterone after ovulation.  Oral contraceptives high in progesterone can cause breakouts, too.

Some of the contributing factors to acne include heredity, oily skin, hormonal imbalance, monthly menstrual cycles and candidiasis.  Other possible contributing factors are allergies, stress, and the use of certain types of drugs, such as steroids, lithium, oral contraceptives, and some anti-epileptic drugs.  Nutritional deficiencies and/or a diet high in saturated fats, hydrogenated fats, and animal products can also be involved. Exposure to industrial pollutants such as machine oils, coal tar derivatives, and chlorinated hydrocarbons are some environmental factors that an have an adverse effect on the condition. A body pH that is too acidic or too alkaline also fosters the nesting and breeding of acne-causing bacteria. Prescription for Nutritional Healing, pg. 144.

Many people don't think of the SKIN as being an ORGAN, but it is.  It is actually is the largest orgn of the body. One of the skin's main jobs is to eliminate a portion of the body's toxic waste product through sweating.  If the body contains more toxins than the kidneys and the liver an effectively discharge, the skin takes over.  In fact, some Doctors call the skin, "the third kidney."  As toxins escape through the skin, the skin's healthy integrity is disrupted.  This is a key factor behind many skiin disorders, including acne.  (IBID)

Another super important factor is keeping your skin CLEAN.  Dirt, dust, oils and grime clog the little pores of your skin, and if they are not cleaned away, they will help the acne to flourish.
