Hi Counsel

Here are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom. Cleansing the body of toxins is the key. Especially a colon cleanse! Educate yourself on detoxifyng the blood.

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. Must do a colon cleanse to rid of all the toxins in the body, which eventually get into the blood and cause acne and all other diseases.

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

Answer 2

This sounds odd and I would suggest consulting a doctor pronto, however, I can make some other suggestions too. (I assume you mean spots in the American sense of acne, otherwise, sorry I'm off topic.)

First, there is such a thing as over cleaning, and all the different items used might be aggravating the condition. Second, could be an allergic reaction - clothes or detergent, cleanser or moisturizer - even foods. Have you tried simple home remedies like using a topical acne spot treatment (I LOVE burt's bees herbal blemish stick)? Calamine lotion is great for reducing redness and swelling. I also use neosporin to heal acne - it kills bacteria, kills pain and minimizes scarring.

My cousin has awful acne all over his face, head, neck, chest & back. He went through a lot of trial and error finding treatments, and he's better but he's still badly scarred and prone to eruptions. It's difficult, and can hurt someone's self confidence, but remember it's just a superficial condition. There's so much nore to a person that some acne!

Are they red blotchy spots? If so.. my brother had this same problem and although we aren't for sure.. we think it's from the laundry detergent. We have changed detergents and the spots have not come back. It is probably an alergic reaction to something.. if not detergent then maybe some kind of food? Pay attention to what kind of foods he ate before the spots appeared. Maybe shampoo or soap he uses? Just some ideas.. good luck.

I have a similar complaint , one showing to my local GP doctor she gave me some pills and I am a free man . If his doctor has run out of ideas do a sneaky last minute call for an appointment and volunteer for another doctor to see him. Sometimes another outlok is all thats required for things like this. Hope this helps.

Go to a chemist and ask for "Sudocrem" its a thick white cream but if its rubbed in before bed every night it should cure the spots? Good Luck.

Answer 10

Just a thought .... if the cleanser he is using is designed to strip oil from the skin, could his skin be producing excessive oil in response to this, causing the spots?
