The relationship between acne and food.

If hormones are responsible for a person’s well being then hormones are responsible for a persons disorder,
Hormone imbalance can wreak havoc on your war against acne,

Some of the most powerful chemicals in your body are hormones; hormones are biochemical’s produced in special glands, when present in the bloodstream they give instructions to your body’s cells, they are made from components of your food.

Hormonal imbalance can be corrected through making changes in your diet.
The medical profession denies that food has anything to do with acne.
Acne is an inflammatory process, and the types of food we eat can certainly influence inflammation,

There are many websites echoing what the medical profession is saying, these websites are also selling topical products and over the counter pills to you the consumer, I am not saying that the products don’t work, what I will say though is, none of the products for sale will ever cure your acne, if you have a degree success with these products, will you be able to stop using them when you are acne free? I doubt it very much, which is why it is important to get to the root of the acne problem. It is no good to just treat the symptoms; the problem will keep on coming back the moment you stop your treatment, you must treat the cause.

Acne is simply a way of telling us that there is disharmony inside the body, all you have to do is correct this disharmony and the acne will disappear, for the majority of acne sufferers it is that simple.

So why don’t the medical profession or the big pharmaceutical companies advocate this and do more to encourage this simple natural way of thinking?

Money!!! The medical profession can be forgiven; in my opinion many areas of the teaching practices of the medical establishment are just out of date.

As far as the pharmaceutical companies are concerned its all about the money,

Yeah sure there has to be some kind of success or you wouldn’t keep going back and spending your money would you!

I have had acne for 26 years, it did disappear from my face by the age of 23, it did not leave my back until 2 years ago at the age of 40 when only after a lot of trial and error, I had food intolerance tests done also, after listening to my doctor who said I would grow out of it, the dermatologist I was referred to who said acne is not curable but it can be treated with medication, and finally the hospital where I underwent a course of treatment with antibiotics and light treatment!

Only after all that and failing in my personal struggle with acne did I look at my diet, which by the way I thought was already quite good, I stopped eating certain foods, and started eating more whole foods, over a relative short period of time my acne disappeared, as a test I re-introduced certain foods and my acne returned, not immediately but it did return, so I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, the food we eat is the basis of many disorders and hormonal imbalance is one of the major underlying factors, eat the right balance of nutritious food and your body will love you for it, especially your skin.

Final thoughts!

If food was not connected to acne breakouts in certain people then wouldn’t it be fair to say that food is not connected to weight gain or diabetes or heart disease, allergies, eczema, I could go on but I think you might be getting the picture.
