Acne Outbreak: the Underlying Causes

By Amanda F. Penninger

Acne is never the chosen option, but far too many of us live with it on a day-to-day basis. It damages our self esteem, makes us work harder to make a good impression, and influences the way others see us. Acne never serves us, but what can we do to eradicate this enemy to healthy skin?

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.

Here we are, back at square one. Diet is the foundation of wellness and health. After all, you are what you eat. But what if you have not had the greatest diet? How do you get back on track with your wellness program? We can spin our wheels investing a lot of time and money to fix what is broken, or we can give our bodies the support and tools it needs to be strong and do the job it is designed to do.

So then the question arises: what tools can the body use to become stronger and more self-managing? There are many simple things we can do, or use, to restore the powerful immune system. Good clean water is a key element. Choosing a healthier whole food diet is another powerful tool. We must also clean up our internal environment, and that is called detox.

One simple tool to healthier living is MMS. This liquid is used to purify water as well as clean vegetables and fruits prior to eating or cooking. Some use MMS as a spray, it makes a great insect repellent that does not harm healthy tissue. Others use it as a part of their detoxification process. MMS works in a very simple way - it takes the energy from those substances that live in a low-oxygen or anaerobic environment, like bacteria, fungus, and viruses. Stripped of their life giving essence those harmful substances can no longer thrive. Hence, the body gets a chance to heal itself.

We can step out of the shadow of acne, and into the light of a healthier body, both internally and externally. Given the right tools, we can grow stronger. Acne is not your fault, you've only used the tools you have been given. Isn't it time to fight back, and regain the expression of your inner beauty? - 15252
