Please show me where I called anyone a name or I gave a rant. I dont recall doing so. As for the links, I was providing evidence as stated in the link provided by you.

Offtopic but, EDIT: To Farseer: I got this off the www.acne.com site, which is lead by 2 leading scientist and dermatologist. Here is word for word quote off their site, www.acne.com: "Open comedo, or blackhead. If the plug enlarges and pushes through the surface of the skin, it's called an open comedo, or blackhead. The plug's dark appearance is not due to dirt, but rather to a buildup of melanin, the skin's dark pigment. " |
JPQuiceno see my above edit in your post and let that be...
As for the gross need for evidence I wish to state categorically that I am speaking from experience and from the testimony of many others who have overcome many ailments from living this lifestyle. The body is self-healing and needs only the right foods/agents with which to work to establishing a cure. One need only read 'Back to Eden' by Jethro Kloss to see how obvious many of these things are in our daily lives. As an example of how corrupt we are in our society with regards to consumption we have a joke here that goes something like this...
Offtopic but, The senna leaves that can be grown naturally and provide a cleansing to body is not good enough for people these days, however, if it is cut sent to the US for processing and then put into tablet form and sent back people would line up to take it because it is a pill / a tablet. (end) For everything God has provided a cure - from the earth we ave come and if we turn to the earth for the natural nutrients and healing it gives then we will find ourselves so much the better. Evidence of this is also shown within the Bible and BOM. It is interesting to note that the most precious of gifts given to Jesus in celebration of his birth included herbs. |
In my opinion, you are right in saying that the body heals itself given the correct things. But I disagree on the subject that certain foods cause or help cause acne. I do know though, for a fact, that a change in diet and lifestyle I.e stress, foods, sleep, can help cure and relieve many factors and help one achieve an optimal state of health.
I've started integrating this into my "lifestyle" -- I don't want to say "diet" -- and begun eating a lot more fruits and vegetables in the past two weeks, including fresh juices, soups, and salads. Not exclusively, of course, but seriously increased my intake. I have a lot more energy, but haven't had any other specific things that I can note a difference in. I've also lost a couple of pounds, nothing dramatic, but I'm not really looking for dramatic changes right away. A couple of pounds could just be normal fluctuation in my weight; if it stays off, and I lose a couple of more, then I'll be convinced that it's as a result of eating more fresh foods.
We'll see how it goes!
DR. ANDREW WEIL: LIVING LONGER, BETTER
Dr. Andrew Weil is arguably America's foremost practitioner of alternative medicine, or as he likes to call it, integrative medicine. He believes the key to a long and healthy life lies in staying active, eating more fruit and grains, and practicing massage and meditation in order to shed stress.

I am no expert on this but here is testimony from watching my wife and oldest son.
If you eat any food that your body is a allergic to or has difficulty digesting you will find your skin shows it very quickly. Why because any toxin that your body can not excrete through urine or Bowel Movement it shoves directly through your skin.
I will witness this through chocolate for my self. If I eat too much I get pimples straight down my spine. Guess what I gave up chocolate. I loved it and a second thing I noted your body will crave items that are harmful I think it is similar to the addiction like alcohol or drug abusers see. (Having over come alcohol abuse I do know what I mean by this.)

I do know that all the fruit juices I have been drinking of late and all the fruits and salads I have ingested have made me sleep a little better and I do not seem as drained at times. I do notice that I am still shedding some pounds off too. I am not in any rush to shed pounds but as little here and a little there can add up. I know that losing around 5 pounds a month is healthy for you. Much more than that can be a problem I have heard. I do know I am feeling good about myself more now.
