hey 'helping You' are 100% clear from this detox thingy?

you are absolutely right, detoxification is the key.. after finding none of the popular remedies mentioned on this board, without becoming clear i started looking into organ cleansing, i started with the gallbladder/liver cleanse which significantly reduced my acne, and oil saturation.. after finding this to have helped more than any other supplement ive tried, i became a believer in internal detoxification...

When I said " a normal person should have to follow a strict diet...." I meant a normal person should NOT have to follow a strict diet....". I forgot the NOT.

I'm sure many methods of detoxification have been posted on this board and have also been tried but they weren`t probably the right ones.

When people think about detox supplements, they usually think of herbs, fiber and acidophilus for example. Although these are good for certain problems, they are not the same as chelating therapy.

It is true that excessive oily skin does cause acne and that most people here have oily skin, but then again, what causes excessive oily skin? The skin isn't supposed to produce excessive amounts of oil. This is usually caused by hormonal imbalance.

Again, hormonal imbalance isn't normal either and it can be caused by deficiencies of fatty acids and vitamins and minerals. Hormones are also regulated by the liver which is why when women have PMS or irregular cycles, cleansing the liver and also the colon is indicated because most nutritionists know that clean organs equals better hormonal and nutritional processing by the body. The problem is that most nutritionists don't recommend the proper method of cleansing.

You can take 50 of the best vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and eat a near vegetarian diet, but if your body is toxic, you will always need to take excessive amounts of nutrients to get results and you will always have to be careful with your diet. This is not what we want.

Why do some teenagers that have the exact amount of hormonal fluctuations during puberty develop acne and others don't? Simply because the ones that have clear skin have better execretory organs for whatever reasons and that reason can be genetically based. The problem is not the amount of hormones someone produces but how the body deals with them.

You said that doing a basic liver cleansing program with fiber could do the trick? Well, not really. Like I said, these don't really help when it comes down to severe long term toxicities caused by heavy metals like lead, copper, mercury and cadmium for example. By using specific vitamins and minerals as well as sulfur-based amino acids, this binds to the toxicities in the body and flushes them out quicker than any other method. When the person is clear of the toxins, then everything else becomes better balanced. The nutrients get better absorbed, the excess hormones get flushed out of the body instead of accumulating in the liver, the processing of fatty acids runs much more smoothly ( copper and lead block the conversion of certain fatty acids) and the skin becomes balanced.

You must not forget that the skin is the biggest execretory organ on the body. When the body is overloaded with toxins, it releases them through the skin as a life-saving measure. Instead of shutting down more important organs, it sacrifices the skin. When the toxic burden is eliminated from the internal organs, then the skin becomes clear.

The reason why some people here somewhat benefit from taking high doses of fatty acids or high doses of zinc or any other supplement is because the toxicities in their bodies block the nutrients from being absorbed or properly converted so it appears that a deficiency is present, when it's actually not really the case. By taking excessive amounts of fish oil for example, the body only has more to work with which then benefits the skin. But the truth is that the body does not need 2-3 grams of fish oil or any other fatty acid for that matter. A normal body needs normal amounts. When the toxicities are reduced or eliminated, then the amount of nutrients needed is also reduced since the absorption is increased.

Now, does that mean that you can take a chelating formula for a couple of months and when the toxicities are eliminated, you are completely cured? Not necessarily. Some people are genetically proned to have weak execretory organs so they will always need to take a detoxifying supplement to keep their organs clean. Other people are chronically exposed to toxins from living in a big city, having large amounts of stress, eating foods that have hormone residues and heavy metals and also drinking water that is contaminated. In that case taking a detoxifying supplement regularly is also indicated.
