Re: blackheads

The reason your Acne is getting worse is because you are detoxing and all those toxins that have been stored in your body all your life are coming out. Check out this book... Acne No More from acnenomore.com. It consists of a two month regimen to completely detox your body. I am very surprised that the long juice fasts have not improved your condition but there must be a step you are missing. This book gives you a step by step guide for two months how to detox in a specific order. It covers every aspect of acne, vitamin/supplements, diet, fasting, exercise, sleep, stress, cleanses, skin care, scarring and oodles of other useful info.

Also, what juices are you drinking? Are you drinking a lot of fruit juices? Fruit, as you know, contains natural sugar. You should only drink one serving of fruit juice a day. If you are using carrots you should only consume one serving of juice containing carrots a day. Carrots are very sugary as well. The Sugar contributes to the productions of more hormones, which makes more sebum which causes more acne. You should consume mostly green veggie drinks made from cucumber, celery, spinach, green pepper, cabbage, lettuce, parsley and very importantly wheatgrass. I buy a powdered organic wheatgrass from theherbgoddess.com and add it to my juices. Other great things to drink are, red beet (you can get a powder from herb goddess too), lemon, lime and garlic (great for acne). Maca root powder is also great for acne. It is a peruvian root that helps to balance hormones.

Detox Tea and chamomile tea are excellent for Acne as well and will help to detox your body. Also Epson salt baths every night will help to draw the toxins out. 1/2 Bentonite clay and 1/2 Organic apple cider vinegar mask is also great for drawning toxins from your face. Mothernature.com is a great place to get the Bentonite clay poweder. Saunas and detox massages are helpful too.

Good Luck,
