Acne Cured Through Dietary Changes
by David Dorrough
There are several reasons people develop acne problems. Some of them, like
genetic tendencies and hormonal changes in teens, are normal functions of the
body and the acne will usually go away in time. However, there are other factors
that we do have control over and these are diet related.
“
The milk lobby has done a very good job of presenting a case that milk is a good source of vitamin D and calcium. It's not.

Although hard to pinpoint, what you consume is by and large one of the main
causes of severe acne cases. Your body has several ways to eliminate waste
products. These are through your bowels, your urinary tract and kidneys, your
liver, your lungs, and your skin. When your body eliminates waste through the
skin, the skin pores commonly get clogged up and acne develops. It is this
elimination of waste through the skin that is the focus of this article.
The first thing that I would like to point out is that today's diet, for most
people, is simply garbage. Too many people have very poor diets that consists of
fast foods or foods that are heavily processed and contain a ton of chemicals.
Just look at the ingredients on any package and you will see what I mean.
If you go back a hundred years or so and examine the diets then, the food was
fresh, void of any chemicals other than manure for fertilizer, and either grown
on their own soil or a nearby farm. Back then, the population was much smaller
and they tended to group together in small clusters that the local farms could
sustain. You don't have that today.
Today, people live everywhere, sometimes far away from their food source. That
food has to be harvested and preserved to prevent rotting until it can reach
someone's table hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away. It's mainly a
logistical problem of keeping the food fresh for transport. That is the main
reason that the advent of chemicals and preservatives came into the food chain.
Every kind of food has this problem. You have to look very hard to find food
that doesn't contain these toxic chemicals. It is the bodies attempt to rid
itself of these foreign substances that is the root cause for acne problems
today. Also, it shouldn't surprise you to learn that most of the chronic
illnesses that exist today, were unheard of prior to the 20th century.
Even President Eisenhower's personal physician stated once that he didn't see
his first heart attack victim until the 1920's. Cancer didn't exist, nor did
diabetes and heart disease. When I was young, old people got cancer and
diabetes. Today, children get it also. You are what you eat, as they say. So,
give serious thought to a diet consisting of nothing but organically grown foods
that are pesticide free, and your acne problems will disappear and your overall
health will improve.
The first thing that I would change in my diet is the consumption of dairy
products, and cow's milk in particular. Today's milk contains so many
preservatives, steroids, and growth hormones that it is a leading cause of acne
and other health related problems. Acne is the least of these.
