Ok so heres the weird thing;

People fasting and their acne clearing up is obviously a sign that 'a' food group be it dairy or wheat or both or whatever is triggering the acne. So stop continually fasting and phase each food group back in until you find the trigger.

Why do people when starting a new dietary regimen *to get clear* stop their topicals that are already helping. You should do both in parallel and constantly change things up until you cant improve anymore! why do just one regimen?? go crazy do 2!

Why do people come onto the "nutrition and holistic health" section and say nothing dietary works because their acne was hormonal and people who have cured their acne through nutrition say to people trying to stop masturbation etc say that it wont work because acne is a dietary illness. THERE'S DIFFERENT REASONS.

Why is there so many extremes of acne and you see people with the most extreme curing themselves flly yet people with the mildest still can't clear it!


Its a crazy thing...

here is yet another proposition-

why do people assume that its something that they are eating,that is causing the breakouts and that they must cut out triggers, rather then the true cause being something that they are not eating or missing in their diet that their bodies need to run correctly?

personally, i think it is a matter of both cases, there is something missing in your diet, and also, certain foods aggravate acne. by the end of your cutting everything out, you will find yourself eating very little foods at all, so you see, there is more to the story here. i personally suspect a role for carotenoids(alpha, beta carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin etc) and their role in the immune system to allow our bodys to defend against bad bacteria.

i suppose you could fast, but you can only fast for so long before it is called starving yourself. there must be another way.

Because this is an extreme all or nothing type culture. they want to find the 'one true cause' of their acne and the one magic cure. Just like with people trying to lose weight. They can't just learn to eat right. And most newbies, especially young people, are only interested in their acne. Not their health.

the body is a system, with all kinds of things going on. All kinds of give and take. Each person's body does slightly different things with the few resources it has to deal with the crap people do to their bodies.

Maybe It's all about placebo effect. Power of mind, If person really believe diet or whatever can cure him, then It probably will. People with the mildest probably believe less and don't want clear skin as much as people with the most extreme.

If the placebo effect worked on me, then the all the drugs and topicals all those derms gave me would have worked.
