Cure Acne At Home With Internal Cleansing

Most acne products do nothing more than waste money. People spend hundreds of dollars on creams and lotions only to find out that they don't really work or only give you temporary relief.

Acne remains a serious problem for a lot of teenagers and even for some adults. Acne destroys confidence, leaving a person depressed and even suicidal. However, hope remains for many of it's desperate sufferers.

Acne, like most other skin problems, exists only as a message that something inside the body isn't functioning properly. This means acne isn't really the problem you have to attack. The problem lies elsewhere inside the body which produces symptoms such as acne, blackheads, and whiteheads.

Acne is basically your body trying to rid toxins from the body through the skin. The skin functions as your 3rd kidney. When toxins aren't being flush from the body fast enough via other methods, they try to get out through the skin. This causes rashes, acne, and other skin problems.

Things such as soda drinks, processed chocolate, sugar, red meat, caffeine, and any other food item that cause your body to become acidic can cause an acne breakout. Stress and hormonal imbalance are also major causes of acne breakouts.

The point being that most people don't treat the real cause of the acne outbreak and will never experience total relief from the problem.

Everyone with acne knows that when you stop using the topical lotions, your acne just keeps coming back just as bad as it did before you used the products but you still use them because you feel there's no other way and this means a lot of business for the companies that make the lotions. Like the old saying goes..."the money is in the treatment, not the cure".

These products simply try to hide your acne rather than cure it so you must continually rely on their product for any relief. Other problems with most acne products include creating new symptoms you must deal with such as dry skin, itching and peeling.

The only way to cure acne effectively is to fix the internal problem your body has. When you do this, you may find not only your acne, but other problems you have had in the past start to disappear.

When an acne sufferer overcomes their acne problem, their confidence soars through the roof and they no longer feel any of the negative emotions such as anger, depression, and frustration that once tied in with the acne.

It also means you keep more money in your pocket. It is estimated that roughly $100 million is spent annually in the U.S. on over-the-counter acne treatments not to mention the many millions more spent on prescription based treatments and other alternative remedies.

Now that you know what acne really is, you can then begin to look for and remedy the true cause. The good news is that the cause of acne has now been established. So if you're getting no results from topical products?
Eliminate the root cause of Acne. Detox your skin from inside out.

Benefits of a Candida Detox

With already 10 species of Candida linked to fungal infections in humans, a total of around 150 species have been identified to date. These organisms are often found in the moist areas of the human body, such as the intestines, skin, mouth and sexual organs.

In humans, Candida albicans causes between 80% and 95% of yeast infections. This is the predominant strain of the Candida species. Responsible for milder infections, Candida glabrata is the second most common species and it can also negatively impact on health.

Yeast infection sets in when yeast organisms start to grow and multiply unchecked. Healthy people already have some Candida bacteria, but normally, other bacteria called probiotics which are good for humans, balance out the Candida, which have little leeway for damage.

The symptoms that frequently arise from local infection due to Candida include a disagreeable sensation of burning, rashes and redness, and/or unusual discharge in the area that is affected. Systemic candidiasis however generates most commonly one or more of the symptoms of chronic fatigue, drowsiness, lack of drive, sore muscles, and reactions to certain nutrition or allergies. Any kind of yeast infection can bring serious pain and discomfort, and can therefore ruin one's quality of life. Yeast infection comes about from Candida overgrowth most commonly. This is either a local medical condition (genitals, mouth, skin or nails) or can spread to most of the body.

Classical medicine and the holistic approach are dramatically different in their treatment of yeast infection. Even if all the necessary study on yeast overgrowth has yet to be completed, doctors as well as alternative therapists are unanimous in their opinion that it is triggered for the most part by a combination of factors that include diet, lifestyle, and inherited characteristics (which we must accept) as well as a weakened immune system.

The real causes that trigger yeast infection are left untouched by conventional medicaments. When these underlying factors responsible for Candida multiplication are ignored, a person is immediately at risk for much more serious health complications. As an example, the prescription of steroid creams may be made to soothe inflamed areas, rashes and burning sensations, but this is simply conventional medicine trying to reduce the symptoms of candidiasis. The use of antibiotics to kill bacteria is a further example. Sadly, antibiotics cannot distinguish between "bad" and "good" bacteria that work in the human body to stave off recurring infections. This means that with more antibiotic treatment, yeast infection will get worse.

The holistic remedy has as its primary objective, to naturally restore the inner balance and to bolster the immune system by instigating a comprehensive agenda of diet and lifestyle changes, detox, herbal cures and the use of specific supplements. The all-natural holistic approach focuses on resolving the basic causes as well as the outer symptoms of candidiasis. Use of the holistic approach will in most circumstances annihilate the basic cause of Candida infection to stop it once and for all from recurring, and to enhance your health and well being in general.

Are You Having Regular Bowel Movements?

Do you know someone who smokes a cigarette or downs a cup of coffee in order to have a noteworthy bowel movement?

It doesn't have to be this way. Not when there are so many easy, all natural, inexpensive methods to help anyone get regular and stay regular.

Stress, bagels, resentment, pasta, anxiety, cheese, hamburgers, doughnuts, ice cream and unforgiveness combine to form mucoid ("moo-coyed") plaque -- a goopy, rubbery black-green tar that coats the walls of our intestines, diminishes your body's ability to absorb nutrients and backs up your entire system.

Between 3-4 million Americans suffer from serious constipation.

And many more yo-yo back and forth between constipation and diarrhea on a regular basis.

Moving your bowels - "going number two", "using the little girls room", "pinching a log" or "taking a dump" - should be a natural, daily occurrence in the rhythm of life - The same way the sun comes up in the morning and sets in the evening.

Contrary to popular belief, the NUMBER of times you go a day is not a deciding factor in determining if you are constipated.

According to the Mayo Clinic: "It's normal for someone to have anywhere from 3 bowel movements per week to three bowel movements a day.

If your stools are soft and pass easily and you pass them at least three times per week, you're not constipated."

Others believe differently. Dr. Lynn Hardy, N.D., C.N.C., director of the Global College of Natural Medicine says "if you eat one meal a day you should have one bowel movement a day later.

The "transit time" or how long it takes food to travel from the moment you eat it to the moment you excrete it is a determining factor of effects of constipation on your health.

Even with one bowel movement per day, if you eat three meals a day, there are at least two meals' worth of waste sitting in the colon at any given time.

Regardless of whether you go once a day or once a week, the tell-tale signs of constipation are pretty much the same:

=>hard, painful "pebble" like movements;

=>constant straining and/or painful movements;

=>feeling bloated, gassy, uncomfortable and/or sluggish;

=>Skin eruptions; rashes;

=>halitosis or bad breath;

=>cloudy or discolored sclera (whites of the eyes); and/or

=>headaches

There are many fast, easy and inexpensive cures to "loosen you up" without a trip the local proctologist or taking expensive medication.

1) Salt Flush - Guaranteed to get things moving in 20 minutes or less. The salt flush has been used in fasting regimens for over 50 years. It is totally safe, non-habit forming and very effective.

Recipe: Mix 2 rounded teaspoons of sea salt (do not use Kosher or Iodized table salt) with 1 quart (4 cups) warm water.

Down it as quickly as possible. The salt water is the same gravity as your blood, so it won't be absorbed into your bloodstream.

Take smaller sips if you gag and/or pinch your nose closed to cut the taste. It won't win any awards for taste, but you will definitely need to reserve a spot in the nearest bathroom for at least 1 hour after drinking it.

2) Add Fiber - in the form of more fruits and vegetables, brown rice and or beans. Organic Aloe Vera gel (whole leaf) is an excellent, gentle, natural and non-additive laxative.

3) Take A Probiotic - Good bacteria or flora is essential for proper assimilation of vitamins and nutrients from the foods you eat.

Eating yogurt is pretty good, but most of the good bacteria is digested by stomach enzymes long before it reaches your large intestines.

A supplement like an enteric coated capsule protects the good bacteria from stomach acids so it can reach your colon and large intestines.

4) EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) - From fish or seeds not only affect growth, vitality and mental state. Essential fatty acids ease the passage of stools by lubricating your intestines.

Even walking for just 10 minutes or more a day will begin to move things along nicely.

5) Squat - Until the mid 1850's people squatted to move their bowels. After an English cabinet maker and plumber devised the modern toilet, squatting quickly became a thing of the past.

Studies prove that humans were not meant to sit on toilets.

It is difficult to achieve a full evacuation. Since the yellow pages has become virtually obsolete, stack a few in front of the toilet (about 6-9 inches high) and rest your feet on top.

6) Drink (More) Water - It can be such a challenge to drink enough water. We're so busy with trying to get things done during the course of our day, we forget to stop take a sip.

Carrying a refillable, reusable water bottle around with you improves your chances of staying hydrated significantly.

With growing concerns about commercially bottled water and the devastating effects of plastic on landfills and the environment, polycarbonate or stainless steel bottles are great alternatives.

Whatever your preference, keeping water handy at all times makes all the difference.

7) Maintenance Colon Cleansing - The most effective, comprehensive way to naturally cure constipation...and lose weight, boost your energy and vitality, lower stress and look younger all at once.

There are countless detoxification regimens that work. Using a pre-formulated colon cleansing kit offers the best value for your money and time.

You can choose from a 7 day kits up to 90 days. Some focus on just your colon, while others cleanse your whole body right down to the cellular level.

The most important benefit of colon cleansing is that it pushes the reset button on your health.

The layers of hardened, toxic waste and mucoid plaque are gently dissolved and eliminated.

Your insides are restored to their former, normal functioning glory.

Any health regimen, weight loss plan or diet becomes that much more effective once your body is free of the years of built up waste.

Colon cleansing cures constipation. It'll make you regular too. :-)

To your health and well-being,
