How to Get Rid of Acne in 10 Days
Do you look in the mirror and see bumps, bumps and more bumps
all over your face and in the most embarrassing places like
right on your lips? Do you look at other people's faces and
wonder what it will be like to have smooth and even skin and not
be told by sympathetic friends and relatives trying to console
you that "It's not what's on the outside that counts but what is
on the inside..." (Bet you hear this and go...yeah, that's easy
for you to say, you don't have acne!)
Take it from a guy who was afflicted with acne for close to 8
years...this image distorting skin crisis characterized by
bumps, excessively oily or dry skin and an accompanying low
self-esteem and depression (in most cases) is simply horrifying!
The good news my friends is if you suffer from acne, or know
someone who does, it can be controlled and eventually cured
without spending tons of money on drugs, visits to
dermatologists or as I have heard, even plastic surgery. Trust
me, I have been there and know how acne can ruin a person's
whole self-image and the desperate measures one might be
considering to get rid of it.
The first thing any acne sufferer must realize is that any
disease-regardless of its medical diagnosis-is a product of
constipation, a clogging up of the body tissues. Consequently,
as the body fights to unclog its organs, the process becomes
manifested in several ways.
Disease is an attempt of the body to rid itself of these toxins
and since, according to Dr. Stanley Burroughs, the skin is the
next most important eliminating organ (second only to the
lungs), acne is merely an indication that you need to cleanse
yourself internally and take simple measures to alleviate the
outer symptoms as the cleanse proceeds.
Just how does one do an internal cleanse?
Well, as I have mentioned in quite a few of my articles, the
best way to do an internal cleanse (and the fastest I must say)
will be to undergo a juice or water fast. Being a radical
discipline, it must be undertaken with care but it is with
confidence in a fast's unmatched ability to restore health that
you can be rest assured to see a drastic improvement in your
skin condition at the end of about a 3 to 4 day fast.
I have covered the subjects on the types, when, why and how long
to undergo a fast in my e-book, but you can always do your own
research in regards to this restorer of health.
As a preliminary stage to a fast and as a suggested dietetic
lifestyle, if you are serious about curing your acne and keeping
it off, you must make a change in your diet and eliminate all
mucus (acid) forming foods such as processed (junk) foods, fast
foods, confectioneries, soft-drinks and eat more wholesome and
natural foods like your fresh fruits and leafy vegetables, nuts,
root vegetables, fresh juices-basically foods that are mucus
(alkaline-forming) binding.
Though covered in chapter 13 of the core e-book of my site, you
can type up 'mucus forming and binding foods' in any search
engine like Google and educate yourself more on this subject. It
is not by co-incidence or an error that Hippocrates 'the father
of medicine' once stated that: "Let your foods be your medicine
and your medicine your foods as nature is the healer of all
diseases!"
Although knowing what to eat is of uttermost importance, you
must learn when and how to eat these right foods. I will make a
statement here that may go against every thing you may have read
or heard on nutrition but I know what I am saying from close to
6 years on trying this simple method on myself. The worst meal
that we as humans partake of is 'breakfast.'
How so the uninformed may ask; well based on scientifically
proven research on thousands of people for over two centuries on
such health principles as food combination and the realization
that the human body goes through a cleansing process from twelve
midnight until twelve noon, and a building program from twelve
noon to twelve midnight, your meals during these respective
periods should be harmonious with the natural processes.
As a result here is a suggested daily menu plan
Breakfast:
A choice of the following
1.A tall glass of Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice.
2.A tall glass of Fresh squeezed lemonade flavored with genuine
maple Syrup (the darker the grade the better)
Lunch:
A mono-meal of an organic fruit in season for example Apples in
the fall and winter, Melons in the summer, Berries in spring.
Dinner:
Fresh, home-made salads.
A simple dressing could be
(a)Lemon juice, olive oil and un-iodized sea-salt
(b)Avocadoes or Green coconuts blended with tomatoes and some
sea salt
Or
Raw and/or cooked root vegetables such as Celery, Carrots,
Potatoes, Plantains, raw or
slightly heated fruit veggies (these
can be blended into Soups or dressings for your salads)
Some factors that must also be noted to ensure the maximum
assimilation of nutrients from our meals include thoroughly
masticating or chewing the mouthfuls of one's meals for as the
Indian proverb goes "chew your foods well as the stomach has no
teeth." In addition, I have also outlined the menu plan above
keeping proper food combinations in mind.
For free information on this subject, you can type up 'food
combining' in any search engine or check out the URL in the next
paragraph. Moreover, refrain from the habit of drinking liquids
with your meals, as I stated in the free resources section of my
site on controlling asthma, drinking ANY liquids with your meals
tends to dilute the digestive juices in your stomach which
consequently deters digestion, assimilation and increases the
tendency for constipation. If you must drink water after or
before a meal, wait a solid hour or so before or after eating.
As is known in the drugless healing world, this simple, yet
extremely effective dietetic change has been known to alleviate
most otherwise incurable human ailments including acne, asthma
and obesity. One factor I must add (from my own personal
experience with this device while undergoing a 10 day juice
fast) is to AVOID THE USE OF MICROWAVES STARTING NOW.
For more information on this device, refer to
http://www.bodyhealthsoul.com/acne.html, you will also see free
tips for controlling acne and the photos on facial massaging,
which will be part of the external measures needed to aid with
alleviating acne symptoms.
Now that I have briefly covered the internal measures to
reducing acne, let's go over the external ones.
*Never repeat the use of a pillowcase in 2 days, always change
them nightly so get 7 clean ones. Be conscious of how they are
folded to ensure you sleep on the unexposed side upon unfolding
the pillowcases.
*As much as possible, keep unwashed hands off of your face, if
you must touch it, say for example, to scratch an itch, ensure
to use the back of your hands.
*Try to sleep on your right side. Besides making your sleep more
refreshing, this practice ensures that you keep your face off of
the pillow and freer to breathe during the night. As an added
benefit, your heart functions much better as you are not putting
pressure on it based on this position of the body during sleep.
*Wash your hair with a mild shampoo every night especially if
you use greasy hair products, or use a wrap-around nightcap that
covers the hair and ensure the cap is washed every morning.
*Make frequent visits to the steam room of a gymnasium or you
can steam the face at home as an alternative. The aim here is to
aid the skin in eliminating toxins through sweating.
*Massage the face regularly as this not only aids in cleansing
the face, but it firms up the skin and alleviates unwanted signs
of aging such as crow's feet, bags under the eyes, lines and
wrinkles.
*Engage in some form of exercise to aid the body in
detoxification and metabolism. Being one of the three limbs of
drugless healing, exercise keeps you younger, fit and
healthy...like you didn't already know that. I must single out
Yoga as one of the best forms of exercise to choose. Some poses
such as the Sun Salutations, the Shoulder-Stand and the Peacock
pose have been known through the ages to help alleviate many
skin disorders and did I mention they give you the added bonus
of making you stronger.
*For my male readers; if you are of African or Hispanic descent,
most barbers recommend you use electric clippers to shave. For
Caucasians & Asians, I have observed that using razors might not
be a problem although if you prefer, you can use electric
clippers also. Ensure that you shave in the direction of the
hair's growth (mostly downwards) for an after-shave; it is
advised that you perform the facial massaging as well afterwards.
In conclusion, acne, as impossible as it at times may seem, is
(like almost every other disease) very easy to control and with
drugless, all natural methods at that. You just need to be shown
how. It is my hope that in a few weeks after you read AND apply
the steps in this article; you too can go out and get that date,
or flaunt that smooth face to the world as I can guarantee you
that acne will become a thing of your past...and will stay that
way for life.
