Answer 1

Hi Bulls

Here are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom.

Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "What is your skin trying to tell you? Often the skin is a metaphor for deeper issues and a way for your body to send up a red flag to warn you that all is not well underneath. When our skin is unhealthy it is usually a reflection of the internal state of our bodies, and is often a sign of poor elimination of toxins and waste products. Most of us are embarrassed by skin problems such as rashes, boils or acne, especially in places where others can see our imperfections. The skin is the body's first line of defense against the environment. It has to deal with the effects of weather, sun , cold, heat, dryness, humidity, scrapes, bumps, soaps, detergents, chemicals, perspiration and dirt of all kinds. It is a wonder that our skin stays healthy most of the time! We can help our skin deal with this onslaught by optimizing our general health and by protecting our skin from harsh environmental exposure. Western medicine generally treats skin eruptions with either antibiotics, cortisone, or antifungal preparations. These medicines may alleviate the skin problem temporarily, or occasionally for good, but do not address the source of the problem. Putting a lid on skin symptoms without getting to the root of the imbalance may even result in suppression, that means the imbalance may be driven deeper causing more serious health problems later without ever strengthening the underlying vital force of the person. Fortunately, naturopathic medicine offers a wide vareity of effective treatments for skin problems."

Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "Your skin is a reflection of how well your body is eliminating the toxins that build up on a daily basis. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis stem from a combination of genetic factors, immune stress, dietary deficiencies or sensitivities, and the accumulation of toxins in the body. For our skin to be radiant and clear, it is very important that the other organs of elimination (kidneys, liver, lungs, and colon) are cleansing the body effectively. If not, the skin will be overtaxed, pores will become clogged, and eruptions of one sort or another will result. Here are a number of steps you can take to improve your body's overall elimination wtih specific emphasis on your skin."

Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body.

Natural Cures

1. Fruits and Vegetables for Acne: Carrot & spinach, celery & watercress, grapefruit juices are all useful to combat acne.

2. Unwholesome Foods: Acne, a prevalent problem among teen-aged boys would not be possible in our society if our foods were wholesome. A most sad and disgusting sight is the pus-filled pimples due to inner toxicity --- wastes trying desperately to escape through the face. This condition often turns a gentle face in the blossom of youth into a waste dump of pimples, pus and subsequent pock marks which can be prevented. The tons of acne medications and prescriptions sold annually act only on the effect of the harmful food, and not the cause of the disease, malnutrition. The traditional teenage meal, a grease burger, french fries and a milk shake or cola simply does not provide enough nourishment for anyone, let alone a boy going through puberty to adulthood. Our highly processed foods are devoid of hormones found in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Blessed thistle tea given to the unfortunate souls three times a day along with a change in diet to the wholesome, mucusless foods will supply necessary hormones for growth and maturity. The aforementioned hormone and estrogen formula [Changease] will also be beneficial. The big task here will be to reeducate the tastebuds of these boys so they can appreciate real food.

3. Cabbage: Apply a lotion of freshly prepared cabbage juice preceded, if desired, by the application of leaves. The eating of cabbage leaves or juice is also helpful.

4. Lemon Juice: Skin problems such as acne... will often respond to a treatment of lemon juice. For blackheads rub lemon juice over them each night.

5. Black Walnut: Externally, Black Walnut is nearly a miracle worker in cases of ...acne, dandruff, boils, itch, shingles, ringworm--we could go on, but you can see that you can use Black Walnut whenever a skin disorder appears! The tincture is an excellent first-aid remedy for wounds.

Best of health to you

Cheers

Answer 3

i am guessing that you are a young man- and sorry to say hormones will have a lot to do with the skin - puberty sucks! but you can do something- a good cleaning regimen- not to harsh and eating better- foods also play a big part in skin- it is the largest organ of the body- so eat live foods- salads, fruits, not cooked- cut way back on fats and sugars- minimize the hamburgers- fries, donuts,etc.... is it worth it to you- your skin will get worse before you see an improvement because all the smut will be pushed out- ck w/ a Dr. but garlic supplements and acidophiles are good for the skin- available at walmart or a health food store- is up to you-

Answer 6

The exact cause of acne is not completely understood. However, the increased production of sebum associated with acne outbreaks seems clearly linked to hormonal imbalances.

The overproduction of androgens in teenage boys, for example, and the hormonal fluctuations of menstruation and pregnancy in women are both factors in the development of acne.

Other factors influencing acne include heredity, emotional stress, and certain medications--especially corticosteroids, oral contraceptives, and other drugs that affect hormone levels.
(Oral contraceptives, for instance, are actually prescribed to "even out" natural monthly imbalances in hormone output.)

Cosmetics, tight clothes, and anything else that can block skin pores can also trigger acne. Even climate changes may play a role. Some doctors and acne sufferers believe that certain foods or food allergies play a role in some acne outbreaks as well.

Treatments _
Nutrients that assist in the normal processing of hormones in the liver and tissues can lessen the intensity and frequency of acne episodes. In fact, many naturopathic physicians (naturopaths) emphasize the importance of good liver function in the treatment of acne and often recommend liver-strengthening herbs and nutrients.

Vitamin A helps prevent overproduction of sebum, making it a key anti-acne supplement. Try taking high doses (25,000 IU a day) of vitamin A until acne begins to clear up, but for no more than a month. After a month, if treatment is still necessary, reduce dosage to 10,000 IU a day. Women who are pregnant or considering pregnancy should not take more than 5,000 IU of vitamin A daily, and should under no circumstances take Accutane.

Antioxidants such as vitamin E and selenium are important for protecting the skin from free-radical (oxidative) damage. Some studies indicate that people with acne are deficient in an antioxidant called glutathione peroxidase. Taking vitamin E and selenium, which are sometimes sold in combination for convenience, can correct this. If menstrual cycles trigger acne outbreaks, vitamin B6 can help to regulate levels of certain hormones associated with acne.

Zinc not only boosts immune function and reduces inflammation; it also helps balance hormone levels. If you take zinc for more than a month, combine it with copper, because long-term zinc use can interfere with copper absorption.

Essential fatty acids, in combination with the zinc, will help to dilute sebum so that it's less likely to clog pores. Flaxseed oil and borage or evening primrose oil are good sources of essential fatty acids.

Wash your face twice a day, with ordinary soap and water, but don't wash too often or scrub too roughly.

Consider a product containing tea tree oil at a 10% to 15% strength; it can be an effective alternative to benzoyl peroxide. Wiped on twice a day, this solution is antibacterial and can help to dry out active lesions.

Use only "oil-free" cosmetics. They are usually labeled "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic." Be sure to wash off cosmetics with soap and water every night before going to bed. And avoid cosmetics altogether if you have severe acne.

Try a daily chamomile tea rinse. Make a strong chamomile tea, allow it to cool, and wipe the liquid over your face each morning. It makes an effective daily rinse because it both tones and cleanses.

Avoid tight-fitting nonabsorbent clothes, especially exercise outfits and sweatbands, which tend to trigger acne. If you can't avoid them, at least change out of them as soon as you can.

Stay away from "trigger" foods that you feel may set off your outbreaks. Even though there's no proof that food causes acne, it can't hurt to avoid any potential problems. Try eliminating the "junk" fats (called trans fatty acids, like the hydrogenated oils) and replacing them with the "healthy fats" like those found in flaxseed and fish oils.

Don't pick at your face. Squeezing and picking pimples and other acne blemishes can increase inflammation and result in permanent scarring.
