Acne is never a welcomed condition. It is considered unsightly, and often brings about negative thinking. Does that person care about their appearance? Do they live an unhealthy lifestyle, choosing foods that cause this oozing of oils from their pores? Or can their acne be an eruption of their thoughts, and their low self esteem?

There can be many influences, both internal and external, that cause the outbreak of acne. Age and hormonal changes are often the first thought when we think of acne, and many associate this skin condition with the raging hormones found in the teen years. But acne does not always go away when a person reaches their adult years.

Does diet influence acne? Many believe diet is the primary consideration to health, both internally and externally. Chocolate has been blamed for outbreaks, but in recent years this theory has been proven to be incorrect. Others blame it on fat intake, processed foods, additives and preservatives, and the highly refined foods like sugar.

There is the argument that acne is caused by bacteria, fungus, viruses, or other parasitic matter. If this is true it’s not just a matter of kicking those freeloaders out, but also changing the environment that welcomed them in the first place. We have to look at our diet and toxicity in order to win the battle against acne caused by parasites.

We all must agree that a healthy diet is important. When the body is weakened it’s not as capable to take care of itself like it is naturally designed to do. Giving the body tools for healthier living can create that stepping stone into better health and more functional living.

Many processed foods contain chemicals that don’t always flush from the body. Our environment can contain many chemicals, bacteria, viruses, etc that influence our health. What can we do? We can detox the body and provide it with clean water and healthy whole foods to help it grow stronger.

There are many options we have available to us these days for improving our bodies and our environment. One tool, for example, is MMS. This is an inexpensive solution of sodium chlorite, known for years as a water purification treatment. MMS targets anaerobic substances, such as bacteria and viruses, but leaves the healthy, oxygen based human tissues alone. Some use it as a part of their detox protocol as well. There are many success stories of how MMS has been used to treat malaria as well as other bacterial or virus caused health conditions.

Your appearance is the first impression you make. Acne does not have to stand between your outward appearance and your inner beauty. There are steps we can take in our own lives to create a healthy environment both in the world around us and our own physical environment.
