Faith in God's providence.
Your (He is not just OUR heavenly father, get to know Him as YOUR) heavenly father is a good father, a very loving father, and a good provider.
He did not dump us here on earth and leave us with simple, common, conventional, 'run of the mill' means of subsistence. We were made in His image, and He has provided foods that can maintain us APPROPRIATELY. The acid/alkaline could be very effective (never tried it, but there are 3 measurements for pH level,...blood, urine, and saliva, so it might not be that simple a solution). Drinking the right amount of water everyday might be all you need to clear up your complexion (adding
Sea Salt would even be better, but even the salt might not be necessary). Improvement might begin overnight. Check the 'Water Cure' forum, the Salt forum, but also consider that there could be a mineral deficiency. One of the minerals in
Sea Salt is sulfur. The following excerpt is from 'The Salt Page' found at the salt forum.

Sulfur
Sulfur is found in all cells, especially in skin, connective tissues, and hair. Inadequate dietary sulfur has been associated with skin and nail diseases. Increased intake of dietary sulfur sometimes helps

Nerves can deplete minerals but also keep the body from 'top efficiency'. One way of relaxing the nerves is...
TRUSTING in God's providence (it's also pleasing to The Lord because it is FAITH and you can make it a part of your personal relationship also, REJOICE, REJOICE).
So, prayer is fine (I'll pray for you), but a deeper, more intimate personal relationship is better, no?.
Don't drink any DIET beverage,
Aspartame is a BRAIN drug and could be interfering with proper metabolism, but should always be avoided anyway (all artificial sweeteners except stevia should be avoided like the plague).
Aspartame deteriorates the myelin sheath in the brain and is also suspected of SUDDEN CARDIAC FAILURE (DEATH).
