The reason we all have acne, and other people have very bad diseases, is mostly because everything the supermarkets sell nowadays is just not good for us.
The air is also not good for us because there is airplanes flying and cars driving.
Everything thats healthy is most of the times more expensive than other things.

the conclusion i have come to is that the whole WORLD needs to change, if we are just selfishly changing our diet (with all the stress that comes with it) only thing we have changed is the DIET part of the whole equation.

and still the world will go on selling 2/3 of the supermarkets with stuff thats not really good for you.

I mean, i feel like the world needs to change, and ofcourse we need to change it. i mean its not ONLY the diet, its our whole 'society'.
I dont even have the money to buy Fucking spelt-bread, thats 3x as expensive as normal bread with gluten.
i dont have the money, to buy LOADS of vegetables, and feel weak.
i dont have the money, to buy alot of fruits ever 2 days so i can feel full.

you see, its the world that needs to change, not you, its not your fault.

if not diet, acne is caused from "hormones"

but what really are those "hormones"?

its DHT
dehydrotestestorone [if i wrote it correctly]

what does it mean?
when we hit puberty DHT level rise in the body, what does DHT does? it causes some individuals to overproduce sebum on their skin, excessive amount of sebum on the skin cause good conditions to p.acne bacteria to grow, wich in respond the body sends white blood cells to fight the infection. the white pus is the dead white cells that already died from fighting the infection, the more bacteria there is on the skin, the more pus/dead white blood cells will be.
now, you may ask? if DHT levels rise during puberty and DHT causes excessive production of sebum, why dont all people get acne? cuz some individuals are oversensitive to DHT and overproduce oil.
some other individuals are oversensitive to DHT on the scalp and thus they are balding. its all in the genetics.

so after all this interesting and pointless information, the most important question is. how do we cure oily skin that cause acne?

simple, we just get rid of the oil. how? we wash it. with what? diffrent things have a diffrent effect on how much they are drying the skin.
water dry out skin not alot, but it does. hot water dry out skin more then cold water.
soap=very good at drying out skin.

"but we are all scared to use soap or overwash our face cuz it will cause the skin to overproduce oil!!!"

bullsh11111t

overwashing/overdrying/overburning/overheating/overcutting your skin will NOT cause it to overproduce oil.

you can wash and dry out your skin as much as you want and it will not cause the skin to overproduce oil, its a myth. the only side effects of overdrying your skin are:1)the skin feeling "tight" 2)peeling skin.

dont overuse soap too many times a day.

my advice is this: shower in the morning and evning with hot water [at least put hot water on face for atleast 30-40 seconds]
that will dry out your skin nicely for some time, if you get oily [no matter if after 3 or 5 or 6 or 8 hours] wash your face with soap.

what i do: shower in the morning with hot water [it keeps my skin dry for like 4-5 hours]
then around 12-1 i wash my face with soap. [it keeps my skin dry for like 5-6 hours again lol]
then around 5-6 i wash my face with soap.
and then around 9-10 i shower again with hot water.
if i wake up at night i use abit of soap only on my most problematic area [chin, upper lip, nose], really a small amount and go back to sleep.

good luck everyone hope i helped.

Chill man, it's ok. I understand your frustration because it feels like nothings going to help, maybe nothing is helping right now. The world is a huge place, it's not that simple and it can't be changed easily. Honestly, I have eaten healthy for about 4 months and it didn't make any difference if I ate 7 fruits a day or just raw vegetables. I became healthy but I didn't cure my acne with that. You don't have to go that far but you definitely have to do something different than what you are doing right now. You have to figure out whats best for you, a 100 people will tell you a 100 different things to improve your health but most of them will contradict each other, only some things will work for you and you have to find out what they are.
It will go away, but never overnight. Don't get frustrated and don't worry. You are not alone, we are all here for the same reason! You will be alright.

you cant change the world unless you change yourself

[Green Gables]

Every time someone has tried to change the world in one sweeping motion they have done more harm than good.

[pokeblaa]

world problems just goes so incredibly slow and drag, changes are coming but its at rate of you will see them when you are gonna be oldie? i rather would wonder why someone dont invent some real stuff, like improving, changing our shabby dna kinda stuff because diets are gentle impacts anyway. idk if its just me, but hard to believe they arent investigating the first problem of all before everything else, that is how to make us stronger to everything in a first place :T

i thiiink there has to be something >.> but since there are more people on this planet than needed? =T so i suppose selection or at least reduction of some kind would need to be done, or else if we will all be healthy and long living but this planet will be stuffed. therfor cant say i blame higher ups completely at this point either, because people has no control of themselves, however then again who is blamed for it being so either? and not like i/we asked for/wanted to be here, so..

im already getting tired from having just this one kind of body and looks, but i still have this medieval times disease problems. idk how you guys deal with this life even =___='

i need my clear face back! and fast. i dont know nothing else.

i believe there is a way to live without disease, of all kinds...it really isnt that hard to figure out, its just hard to actually DO it

[dejaclairevoyant]

You do change the world by changing your diet. I know from working in a grocery store that the more of a certain thing gets sold, the more they stock that certain thing. Stores do pay attention to people buying organic, fresh, etc. In turn, stores become healthier. Every single purchase you make is a vote in how the world will be. It's a slow process, but it goes all the way to the top.

[pokeblaa]

and what do you doo if theres nothing you can do? o.o

i just hate how you get trapped in this limited world, your limited dna and all this limited situation that you dont neeeed

[bobbi364]

you are place those limits on yourself, stop living in the system and live by nature

[DaftFrost]

There is lot more than just that, if you become more and more aware you'll become more and more awake and realize it all
.
Another question would be how can world peace be achieved? Well, it surely would be hard to achieve with the current system of society we have today as it all distracts us from the truth. Worst one being the mainstream media.

This is another reason why I chose to be spiritual, you'll see that people struggle for self ego, fear of death may lead to selfishness, which leads to more fear, making us highly valuable, therefore slavement, and ofcourse us being easy to control... it goes on.
Ego's main purpose is to be used for survival.

Ask yourself this, if you truly loved yourself with infinite pure love, would you do (insert certain question here) that? If you truly loved yourself would you struggle to look good for others. Would you be scared of or embarrassed or feel guilty?
You feel those because you don't love yourself, you try to gain acceptance of others. You value that more than yourself.


That's a question that tells you the difference between ego and the intuition.

There was once this time where many people from many different areas came to one place and mediated for about an hour. Crime rate at that area lowered for that week drastically.

Drink homemade organic milk kefir and cut down junk food, soda, sugar etc. See if that works.

And other aspects of your lifestyle - work, commute, sleep, activity, how you spend your money, how wasteful you are.

Yes, we have evolved a terrible way of life, but you can choose not to participate or pick and choose where to not to participate. Buy and eat healthy, primarily local foods. don't buy stupid things that the planet's resources should never have been wasted to manufacture, package and ship. Shop resale and refurbished for electronics. Don't buy a lot of chemical cleaning/bathing/hair etc products. You don't need most of them. You don't need a special cleaner for everything. Don't waste energy. Turn things off. Don't drive places you can easily walk or bike to and/or combine trips. If you are in the market for a house, try to get one/build one with appropriate design for your climate (which is really rare. At least in the South where most homes are completely wrong).

You need more bacon in your life.

[Oceanic]

Yes, a lot of things need to be changed. But, until then, you should try and concentrate on simple changes you can make as an individual rather than become overwhelmed with the world's problems. Certainly, I agree that the decks have been stacked against us in terms of deteriorating health care, poor agricultural practices, loss of biodiversity and sustainability and so on. But, there are other options out there you can choose from which could increase your quality of life and to me, that's priceless. And as some others pointed out, the choices of us consumers can lead to changes.

Think of your health as an investment. Fruits, vegetables and other foods may seem expensive compared to cheap, processed foods, especially if you buy organic. However, health care (especially in the US) is incredibly expensive. A healthy lifestyle can help prevent future diseases, cancer and other illnesses and thereby, save you money in the long run. Going for walks, jogs, and hikes are also free. Additionally, with better health, comes better performance which could potentially lead to higher success and a bigger paycheck. Not to mention, there are many other gains associated with a healthy lifestyle that are priceless.

I feel the world is perfect because of it's imperfections. If everything was alright and there were no problems it wouldn't mean we would be happy. Happiness comes from achieving, overcoming, creating, solving, helping, healing, moving forward, change. At least for me. The world is not perfect but that is what makes it beautiful. Don't keep thinking about all that is wrong because there is so much that is right. "Glass half empty,Glass half full."
Plus I love bacon too!

And why would you care about looks if you loved yourself in everyway? Loving means acceptance also, judgements such as that is good and that is bad isn't much loving. It's unconditional love, not the normal love we think it is which is selfish and attachment based.
The whole "good-looking" thing came from the society and the media also, it puts a belief in our mind that tells us what looks good and what does not. It's ego based.

i dont know what you are talking =T you dont usually love ugly things, one. and I will decide whats good looking or not, two.

Love means acceptance also, you can't love something if you can't accept how bad it is. So at any and under any condition do you accept yourself? if you don't then you are not loving yourself are you? All your body needs is little bit of love, and raise your vibes. If you don't believe me there are actual people who have cured their cancers this way.

I am not forcing you to understand, it goes little complicated so I'll leave it there.

btw nice Harry Shum GIF ^^.
