Date: March 06, 2010 07:06PM ohh yes i do  i suffered hormonal acne for years. The best thing you can do is get digestive bitters preferably not the swedish as they contain stimulant laxatives, chinese, grape bitters are better choices.
not only do they stimulate the vagus nerve to stimulate stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, bile secretion. But they effectively cleanse the liver, which in turn aids the livers ability to metabolize excess hormones which are the main cause of acne. i dont like vitamin b supplements, but foods such as rice bran, seaweeds or herbal sources such as nettle leaf(i have this stocked if you want some) help the liver breakdown the excess hormones whilst aiding the adrenals/thyroid.

If you take a substance that suppresses the symptoms of acne, you will creating a state where the health will become worse. The body creates acne to release toxins through the skin. If some kind of herb or topical substance makes the acne stop, the toxins will just stay in the body. It best to remove the toxins from the lifestyle, and once the body has removed its internal toxins, the acne will disappear. Toxins come into the body mainly through diet, but products you use in your home or on your body can also introduce toxins into the body. Also, eating a lot of fat does play havoc with the hormones, and this could be a factor.  Re: teenage hormonal acne and raw foods

Date: March 06, 2010 08:48PM fat is also crucial for hormonal balance though, good fats are the key.
again digestive bitters help you break all your nutrients down and cleanse your liver. One of the most important organs in the body. Re: teenage hormonal acne and raw foods

Date: March 07, 2010 02:17AM Do Sassafras root tea. I've seen the complexions of teenagers to adults who drank this in their youth and they have beautiful complexion and never had acne. Wish I knew about it back then. I will buy some in the near future as I still have acne as an adult. Good luck. Therese Re: teenage hormonal acne and raw foods

Date: March 07, 2010 01:17PM I believe Prana is correct. The only LONG term road to health is to be able to know enough about yourself to AVOID the foods that harm you. I believe that the skin is one of your first and foremost means of elimination - especially of excess salts and oils (and bacteria love to feed on this stuff). My personal take is that you should always eliminate the foods, medications, grooming products or environmental toxins which are irritating you FIRST - before you try to add any new items. The only exception is if you are in acute health crisis (and then see a physician!  .

Date: March 09, 2010 02:27PM Bragg's ACV really helps with acne. Internally and Externally. Just add a few tbsp to a smoothie or apple juice to hide the taste.
After washing your face, put some on a cotton ball or paper towel (clothes tend to be too abrasive and scrape the skin irritating it more) and just hold your breath and wash your face with it. Don't need to rinse it off. I agree with Prana, but IMO and experience..the ACV kind of soaks up the toxins coming out and rebalances the skin. It also helps regulate the PH of the skin. I tend to break out while fasting, and the ACV helps it not to get to the uglier, big pimple point. Zits happen because oily toxins clog up the pores and makes it red and inflamed. When using ACV they don't become big red bumps. My skin gets a tighther, clearer, smoother look to it too. Re: teenage hormonal acne and raw foods

Date: March 10, 2010 02:39AM i've never met anybody that had acne, who didn't eat proccessed sugar. i agree with prana, lifestyle cures/causes these things. traditional thinking is basically designed to get you to buy products.
the wonder cure for acne is eating only greens and fruit!!!!! the only fat you need everyday is just a bit of nuts and seeds and maybe flax/coconut/hemp oil. very little, no proccessed sugar, EVER! The Raw Lion  440 pounds to 225 pounds!Re: teenage hormonal acne and raw foods

Date: March 10, 2010 03:23AM you get fat from fruit and greens, too, and if you want some overt fat, avocado is best as it's not refined. Re: teenage hormonal acne and raw foods

Date: March 10, 2010 07:30AM marlene, i think if you are looking for a secret shortcut. i will tell you, 3 shots of wheatgrass juice a day. and no sugar. at LEAST 1 shot of wheatgrass juice or wheatgrass powder. Get it in you. Ann Wigmore found that anybody that simply used 3 shots of wheatgrass a day, was cured of most common problems. things people today just write off in secret insecurity thinking that people are supposed to just suffer all these everyday ailments, that are in fact trillion dollar campaigns to poison the people of the world.
our bodies produce fat and cholesterol. We make it out of SUGAR !!! too much sugar running through the body, specifically cooked sugar, as the body doesn't know what to do with it, turns into cholesterol and fat and can cause acne, and also of course artery blockage. no non-raw sugar, YES WHAEATGRASS OR ANY OTHER GREEN!

Date: March 10, 2010 09:37PM we have to look at the main causes of acne which is usually unbalanced/excess hormones, alot of this comes from dietary excess putting strain on organs like the liver. Very rarely its because of the so called toxin theory.
the reason raw fruits and vegetables work so well as many of hte phytochemicals support the liver, take the burdon off it that a normal SAD diet would so it can breakdown excess hormones. Re: teenage hormonal acne and raw foods

Date: March 15, 2010 02:40PM Dietary excess is toxic. And a strain on the liver means the liver is processing a lot of toxins, as that is one of its main functions. Re: teenage hormonal acne and raw foods

Also, I break out like crazy while fasting so there is truth in the "detox" thing. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
