Acne Messages Frequently Asked Questions
Using your program, I discovered that one of my acne
triggers is my favorite food. I'm having a hard time resisting this food, even
though I know it makes my acne worse. What can I do?
I’ve used your program and I have seen a great reduction in
the number of cysts on my face. I still have whiteheads. What can I do?
Your jumpstart to acne free skin seems overwhelming, how
can I approach it without getting too involved?
I’ve read the Mimicking the effects of Accutane section. I’ve
used peels before and had horrible results. What do you suggest?
I do not what to use an enema as you suggest or use an herbal
laxative for cleansing. Can you suggest another option?
I’ve used the Mirror-addict technique for a week now. I can tell
it works because I have less zits. However, I’m scared that if I start using
the mirror as I did before, I’ll begin popping more zits. What should I do?
Looking at the Acne-Organ Connection Face Chart, I discovered
that some zits I have are related to my liver. What can I do to remove these
zits?
How did you come up with the Acne Messages concept? It’s unlike
anything I’ve ever tried.
My favorite acne trigger
I
know your pain, like I said in Acne Messages, you do not have to give up
a food just because it causes acne, though this would be ideal, just consume
this food in moderation and perhaps once every 3-5 days. Also, food and drinks
are intimately tied to our social habits. For example, your favorite food may
be your favorite food because you associate this food with your favorite people
or favorite social outing. You can try replacing the acne triggering food or
drink with a non acne-triggering food or drink and associate this food with
your favorite people or place.
For
example, I love mochas, but all the sugar and milk in these beverages cause
acne for me. In truth I do not like how mochas taste. I just like going to
coffee shops and setting around reading. I can drink a sugar free tea instead
and still enjoy the coffee shop.
Whiteheads
As
I write in Acne Messages, whiteheads are packed with insights about your
emotional state. That’s why the list of things that you can learn from
whiteheads is the longest of the messages from acne formations list. First,
review the messages from whiteheads list again. Second, note the environmental
situations that are upsetting to you and resolve them. Third, use the steps in
the Calmation sections to calm the nervous system. Whiteheads are most directly
linked to a nervous response.
Acne jumpstart program
I
understand your point. The most critical steps to starting the Acne Free
Jumpstart Program (i.e. Ultimate Inner Outer Cleansing Experience) is to: 1.
Isolate your acne triggers using the steps outlined in the book; and 2. Ensure
that your or removing or resolving your acne triggers before you begin the
program.
Once
steps one and two are handled, you can use the suggestions I offer in Acne
Messages and adjust the Ultimate Inner Outer Cleansing Experience to you
own needs. The Ultimate Inner Outer Cleansing Experience is only a compliment
to removing your acne triggers. This program promotes alleviating stress to the
digestive and nervous system. This reduction in stress boosts the immune system
and encourages a more rapid removal of zits. So, to make things easier, pick
one or two techniques in the Ultimate Inner Outer Cleansing Experience and
remind yourself that these simple steps are energizing your immune system and
encouraging the zits to leave faster.
Mimicking the effects of Accutane
To
save yourself a lot of time and money, ensure that you know what you acne
trigger is before you began any time of cosmetic procedure for your skin. Acne
results from imbalances in our endocrine and nervous systems. Peels and lasers,
not matter how deep can repair an internal imbalance. So, without finding your
acne trigger you can spend hundreds on an expensive cosmetic or medical skin
peel and have a face covered in zits all over again 3 months later. This
happened to me several times.
Find
your acne trigger. Next, try some of the at-home peels I provide in the index.
These peels provide gentle exfoliation of the skin but require consistent use.
To alleviate irritation to the skin, apply pure aloe vera gel. Apple cider
vinegar also aids burned or peeling skin.
Laxative and Enema alternatives
There
are several alternatives to enemas and laxatives. You can make a tea comprised
of the herbs listed in the Acne Herbal Cleansing list. Or you can purchase a
detoxifying tea at your local drug or health food store.
Mirror-Addict Acne
The
centerpiece of the Mirror-Addict Acne Method is self-control. I still have to
use this method to this day. Mirror addict acne is similar to imaginary acne.
Sometimes we become so obsessed with acne that even the smallest imperfection
on our face gets all of our attention. We must direct this attention elsewhere
to avoid the pitfalls of mirror addict acne. First, always use the simple for
steps that I outlined in the mirror addict acne section. Write them down if you
have to, or tape them to your mirror. Second, always remember that zits are not
your enemy: they are your bodily messengers. Get information from the zit, then
let it leave on its own. It will leave a lot faster and without scarring if you
do not pop it at an untimely moment.
Acne-Organ Connection Face Chart
A
healthy liver is critical to a clear complexion. This is why I cover the liver,
kidneys and colon extensively in Acne Messages. Refer to the section on the
liver, by using the Table of Contents or index, for methods and foods you can
use to improve the functioning of your liver.
Acne Messages Concept
After
having acne for over 10 years, I became obsessed with finding a cure. I went to
dermatologists, aestheticians, nutritionists, and even a psychologist seeking
help. I have used 3 acne prescriptions and had 2 deep skin peels. Nothing
helped. I even considered Accutane. Finally, I said these zits must be smart.
There’s no cure for acne so obviously these zits must mean something. So I
spent years researching acne, skin care, hormones, nutrition, and psychology.
All of these subjects affect the onset of acne but there was no body of
knowledge that integrated all of these subjects as a means to understanding
acne. I set out to incorporate these factors that relate to acne so that I could
offer a systematic way for locating an individual’s unique acne trigger.
That’s
another thing that bugged me about the acne industry. I was treated as just
another person with acne. No one should feel this way. Acne is not the enemy,
ignorance is. I created Acne Messages so that everyone suffering with
acne could find their unique acne cure.
