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 can be many influences, both internal and external, that cause the outbreak of acne. Age and hormonal changes are often the first thought when we think of acne, and many associate this skin condition with the raging hormones found in the teen years. But acne does not always go away when a person reaches their adult years.

Can we point the finger at our westernized fast food diets? Most of us think there is truth in the expression: you are what you eat. What exactly is causing these skin eruptions? Is it sugar? Maybe it’s the preservatives, additives, colorants, or the hydrogenated fats. We used to think chocolate was to blame, but even that theory doesn’t fit.

Could it be that your acne is caused by some invading forces? No, I don’t mean space invaders. I’m talking about bacteria, or fungus. Maybe it’s a virus. I hate to say it, but all of those invaders I just mentioned fall into one category: parasites. If acne is caused by an overrun of foreign matter, then how can we fight back?

So here we are, back at diet and wellness as the greatest tool in the fight against acne. When the body is healthy it has the strength to take care of itself. So then logically speaking isn’t the solution more about giving the body the tools it needs to support itself?

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 simple tool to healthier living is MMS. This liquid is used to purify water as well as clean vegetables and fruits prior to eating or cooking. Some use MMS as a spray, it makes a great insect repellent that does not harm healthy tissue. Others use it as a part of their detoxification process. MMS works in a very simple way - it takes the energy from those substances that live in a low-oxygen or anaerobic environment, like bacteria, fungus, and viruses. Stripped of their life giving essence those harmful substances can no longer thrive. Hence, the body gets a chance to heal itself.

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.
