great skin
I discovered something that really works for me. I used to always
break out - in unsightly bumps all over the face specially during that
time of the month. If I didn’t sleep early, I’d also break out. Then
I read something very simple - drink 8 glasses of water a day.
I never really tried this and I keep reading it everywhere but never
really paid attention to. Well, it was all I needed to fix my skin
problem.
Since gulping down water after eating doesn’t help either (it waters
down the digestive juices needed to break down your food properly), I
take 2 glasses of water (or liquids, green tea is highly recommended)
before every meal and wait 2-5 mins. after eating to drink your 3rd
glass.
If you do this regularly you’ll have 9 glasses daily. If you were
doing sports, this means you should drink more.
Truly this is a breakthrough for me and hopefully will be for you too!

Couldn’t agree more. Water is the key for so many of the bodys functions. Have
you read the book? Your Body’s Many Cries for Water? It’s an elegant description
of just how vital water is. It’s good that you realize you shouldn’t be drinking
alot with your meals as well. Many people don’t realize how that can compromise
digestion. I have myself so well trained that I rarely drink at all with meals.
I just don’t have the urge anymore. I drink about 2 quarts of Alka Blue water a
day. Works wonders! My doggie even likes it!

Soooooooo true. My daughter had a kidney infection last week so I forced
her to drink water constantly…. she was taking in about 10 12 oz. glasses
every day. In two days, the roughness on her elbows and knees was gone and
her face cleared up from the two (very small, but devastating - LOL)
blemishes. In addition, I am trying to lose weight, so this post about
water has come at a good time: to remind me of how important water is….
and the extra benefit, weight comes off more easily!
Hugs,

I have tried Proactiv solution in the past as well as every (literally EVERY)
other acne product out there. Rarely do they work for stubborn acne. I will send
you my acne protocol that will teach you how to address the problem from the
INSIDE out. Acne is a systemic, inflammatory disease aggravated by toxic buildup
and poor liver/gallbladder function. Please let me know if you have any
questions about the program.

has this diet/program worked for you?
i just hope it works for me, will surely try it. this
acne is really beating me up bad. and i am 25, not the
usual acne suffering age. health wise i am perfectly
fit, but this whole "my face looks like a tomato" is
driving me nuts !!!

owe you one.i’ll mail you if i have any question
thanks much - sid

YES! It’s the only thing that worked for me. I’m 31, so I wasn’t at the so
called"scne age" either. Please realize you can be very "fit" and feel "healthy"
and your organs can be clogged and operating way below their optimal level of
functionality. That was my case. Very fit body (used to be a personal trainer),
felt fine, but my liver and colon were not healthy. Only by healing the whole
body and using the right topical products did my skin finally clear.
Another important thing you must remember is to stay away from inflammatory
foods. They will only aggravate your acne. Inflammation is now thought to be the
root cause of acne lesions. I have attached a list of pro-inflammatory foods to
avoid. I also attached a list of anti-inflammatory (antioxidant rich) foods that
you should eat as much as possible. Coincidentally, following this list will
also ALKALIZE your body and help correct an overly acidic body condition. Good
luck, be patient, and be diligent!

Bells rang when you said, ‘my face looks like a tomato’.
Plus you have pretty bad acne at 25.
Have you thought about rosacea? Sub-type 2 rosacea in particular.
That’s what I had and I used Tea Tree Antispectic Cream and that cleared it
up fairly quickly.
Thought I’d mention this to you as it might be of help (though might not).
All the Best,
Jo.

Carisa,
From my own personal opinion and experience, I think you are SPOT ON! re:
unhealthy and congested internal organs etc.
It’s thought that the condition causes rosacea but there is ofcourse, as
with most health issues, great debate on that one.
Still if it works for some people, then so be it.
I am interested to read the lists that you sent to Sid. Would you please
email me privately?
Thanks in advance!!
Jo.

Hi Carisa, I was wondering if you could send me your steps, or regimen.
I actually have suffered acne for the most part of my teen years, but don’t seem
to have that much acne now. I drink allot of water and eat allot of vegies. But
I get blemishes occasionaly,
please send me your advise, if it’s not to much trouble.
Thanks in advance

Henry,
Here is the natural acne program. Since your acne isn’t that severe, you should
see excellent results in a short period of time in addition to the overall
health benefits. I am always revising and updating the program, so keep your eye
out for an updated version on the group message board. Let me know if you have
any questions.
