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 are many suspected causes of acne, but no definitive answer to the treatment. If we had the answers we could find a workable solution. It used to be that acne was a sign of the hormonal changes that come about during the teen years, but this is no longer the case. Far more adults carry on the signs of acne.

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.

Can acne be the result of bacteria, virus or other foreign matter in our system? Is it an outward expression of the internal state-of-health? If acne is caused by a toxic internal environment, then how do we treat it? Sounds like a dietary and maybe even environmental change is in order. If it is caused by a parasite, like bacteria or virus, then how do we make ourselves stronger, and end the influence of these microscopic invaders?

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.

What are some of the tools we can use to improve our health and wellness? There are many, and like any other areas of life there are some that work better than others. Clean water is one tool. Eating whole foods with minimal processing is another. Giving our body a good detox protocol is another great tool to help the body grow stronger.

One of the easiest tools that is available to us is called MMS. This is simply a solution of sodium chlorite, which is about the best water purifier in existence. Many have found this solution, used with an activator, has been useful in cleaning their fruits and vegetables as well as purifying their food prep spaces. Many use MMS in their detox protocol. MMS has been used successfully to treat malaria in third world countries.

Your appearance is the first impression you make. Acne does not have to stand between your outward appearance and your inner beauty. There are steps we can take in our own lives to create a healthy environment both in the world around us and our own physical environment. - 14130
