Acne (Professionals Only)

Also there are hormonal influences which contribute significantly in ladies and men.  In ladies if you have polycystic ovary disease which is thought to be genetic then your DHEAS and FREE Testosterone can be higher and needs to be blood tested if you have acne because it will contribute to having pimples on your face, back and chest.  If they are high, then the pharmaceutical Spironolactone can help decrease the acne beginning after a month of taking along with all the instructions below.  Men will have the same high DHEAS and /or FREE Testosterone if they have gluten/food allergies and gut inflammation.  Gluten is the #1 food to stop if you have acne and particularly if you have significant acne and no one with acne should have cow’s milk never mind cow’s milk/cheese is often a food most people are allergic to contributing to having acne. Also sweets and most carbs just feed the acne unfortunately so eat fresh dark fruit instead of sweets and for carbs red quinoa, wild and brown rice are healthier choices, but less is better.

If your thyroid is low so your FREE T3 and/or your FREE T4 are low (and see the symptoms of low thyroid in Critical information section and if the edges of your tongue are fluted then your thyroid is low at the cellular level) which also need to be blood tested if your acne does not progressively or is difficult to make go away and particularly if you took or take Accutane and acne persisted then your thyroid is most probably not functioning properly and is low at the cellular level.  You can have normal thyroid blood work, but your thyroid is low at the cellular level and the cells are the body’s factories, so your thyroid is LOW at the cellular level IF you have some or many of the symptoms of low thyroid described in the Critical Info section of the website.  Cold feet also virtually always mean LOW thyroid as a bellweather symptom.  Low thyroid is one of the most unrecognized causes of acne and persistent hard to clear acne as low thyroid increases inflammation of the entire body internally and activates the acne gene.

If your gut is inflamed from eating wrong for your genetics (Eat Right for your Blood type as the best guide) then it inflames your adrenal glands and increases your DHEAS and results in back and/or chest acne along with facial pimples. If your adrenals are low, then your thyroid becomes secondarily low so look also at the symptoms of low Adrenal glands in the Critical Information section.

If you have low hydrochloric acid in your stomach, then you have pimples on your neck. 

See the picture of if you have acne on different parts of your face what is most inflamed and affected. All the inflammations are so frequently from primarily gut inflammation from what you eat and food and gluten allergies which inflames your entire body and all of the inflammatory chemicals pass through your liver and kidneys which result in enhanced acne of your cheeks and chin.  Around your nose means your entire body is inflamed and your forehead means your small intestine is most inflamed.

Also you MUST have a bowel movement at least once a day without thinking about it and ideally twice to significantly help your acne clear.  Otherwise your body is reabsorbing from the gut the toxins you are eliminating.  If your gut is healthy and your thyroid function mostly normal, then virtually always you have a bowel movement once a day at least without thinking. Drinking water 1-2 liters per day and eating olive oil 4 tablespoons or more per day and 1 tablespoon per day of whole ground raw flax (linseed) meal and lots of green vegetables right for your blood type and moving/exercise all helps this occur normally.  NAT COLON CLEAR product helps as well to take 1 per day if you have constipation challenges.

BEGIN WITH THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS:

ORTHO BIOTIC – Natural support for replenishing and maintaining healthy flora balance in the gastrointestinal tract in order to help clear blemishes and prevent recurrences. The addition of these “good” bacteria, referred to as probiotics have been helpful after antibiotic use as well as have active anti-microbial characteristics and are able to help rid the body of such pathogens as the overgrowth and dysfunctional balance of Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, E. coli and the yeast Candida from and in the gut. This action enables a more effective pro-biotic presence, encouraging a healthy environment for vitamin, food component uptake and helps in disease resistance. From doing stool evaluations over the many years, virtually everyone has lacking good bacteria so replenishing a healthy balance is IMPERATIVE to help clear the skin and decrease gut inflammation.  BACK and chest acne are due to gut inflammation causing adrenal gland inflammation.

IF you have A blood type to help reverse gut inflammation and if you have constipation or indigestion you should take 2 ounces per day of organic Whole Leaf aloe juice together before bedtime.  This helps clear your skin faster/better.

Instructions: 1 pill twice a day for 6 months, then 1 pill per day anytime. IF you have significant symptoms of gut inflammation-gas, bloating, constipation, IBS, diarrhea or acne, rosacea, enlarged pores then take 2 pills twice a day for 3 months then 2 pills per day for 3 months then 1 pill per day anytime.

HYPO ZYMASE – most acne conditions start/are caused in the gut by inflammation.  One of the major causes of gut inflammation is the lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and your stomach is supposed to be a vat of HCL. A blood type often lacks genetically as we age we lack increasingly so we do not digest our food and food feels it sits in the stomach and does not digest when we eat.  If you have neck acne you DEFINITELY lack HCL in the stomach and need to start HYPOZYMASE immediately.  IF after you eat you burp and bloat then you need HCL.  IF you are constipated you may have low thyroid or you may lack HCL.   The way we fuel our body and its functions is through our digestive system, which why it is essential that you receive dual phasic digestive support targeting the stomach and the small intestine (duodenum) that will help a wide variety of digestive disturbances and help clear the skin and digestive issues.

TOO much HCL and your stomach burns a bit for 30 minutes after taking but I never see this happen in my practice and in fact everyone feels their digestion feels better and their skin clears if it is a problem.

Instructions: Take 1 pill with every meal and increase 1 pill per meal each week to a max of 3 per meal if not burning in the stomach and until no gas, bloating, burping, indigestion, feeling of food sitting and not digesting in stomach or constipation. If stomach burns cut back 1 pill next meal. Take at the end OR during a meal.

INFLAMMA LIFE FORCE – Researchers found that acne, is triggered by inflammation and breakouts when inflammatory chemicals are further trapped in airless, oily conditions, such as skin pores and why you need to drink water and exercise and eat right for your blood type and try to reduce stress and treat low thyroid if you have the symptoms (in the Critical Info section of the website). Inflammation is caused by a response from your immune system, which occurs when things are happening in the body which are not healthy.  LIFE Is an inflammatory event and why we eventually die, and we cannot avoid inflammation despite best efforts as stress, food and sunlight inflames which is why we also further advise sun protection.   With acne and inflammation, your body produces more oil and pores enlarge as a result, your pores become inflamed and the bacteria, viruses and fungus which normally live on the skin have a wider opening and more oil and get into the pores and cause pimples, so the area will become red with irritation and inflammation and begin to swell.

Inflamma Life Force is a botanical and nutritional support for local and systemic inflammatory conditions.

Instructions: 1-2 capsules, 2 times per day anytime ideally bedtime and first AM.

VITAMIN D3 with K2 – Vitamin D supplementation can help dimish blemishes and acne, by reducing the growth of the cells that produce sebum (sebocytes), which reduces the amount of oil the skin produces AND by helping improve thyroid and all hormones and entire body balance and healthier environment. Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and efficiency, so the levels of this vitamin may have an effect on skin health.

In addition, Vitamin D3 and ideally with K2 as you cannot eat enough green to get the adequate level of K2 for your bones and cardiovascular system.  Vitamin D3 is WELL documented to help support the decreased risk of many types of cancer, enhance immunity, thyroid and entire body’s cell health and beauty.

Instructions: 5,000 IU/pill

Directions –Take 1 pill per day if over 120 pounds (54 kg). If 80-120 lbs. 1 pill every other day. Children usually take 500-2000 mg. per day – check with your Pediatrician. If you have blood work drawn (at every age), always get a Vitamin D3 blood level test as ideally you need your blood levels to be high normal range so the only way to tell if you need more is to do a blood level.  In my practice if someone is a high stress, working a LOT and not sleeping 7-8 hours per day-what I entitle a “cat on a hot tin roof” so very active or lives above the latitude of Los Angeles then I tell my patients to take 5000IU per day and 3 days a week to take 10,000 IU per day, but I am doing blood levels once or twice a year.  Vitamin D and K are fat soluble vitamins which store in your liver if your body is not using.  You can go into any lab generally worldwide and pay to have a Vitamin D blood level which is an inexpensive test and you should have at least once a year.

Please use all products carefully as directed on product pages.

Please use all products carefully as directed on product pages.

IF you need more moisture then add in the daytime with the STEP 1 skin products, WRINKLE FILLER if you are not already using and in the evening NIGHT REGENERATION if you are not using.  IF you are using these and your skin is dry and needs more moisture which is rare (make sure you are drinking at least 1-2 liters of water per day) then add EMUDERMYL. I would only use in the evening and use 1-4 drops mixed in with all the Step 1 and 2 evening products except NOTHING Mixes with PEEL.

VITAMIN A PLUS – Containing potent ingredients including niacinamide topically to help stop the production of and the appearance of blemishes, enlarged pores and scarring.

In addition, it increases collagen and cell component production, relieve itching, irritation, oiliness, eczema, psoriasis, seborrhea, abnormal pigmentation, helps prevent the risk of skin cancers. L-Glutathione – MASTER crucial, antioxidant, along with Indian Ginseng to helps decrease skin irritation, redness, collagenases, maintain skin elasticity and proteins, and help protect against inflammation as a superlative anti-oxidant.

These skin-perfecting ingredients help strengthen the skin cells by participating in optimal stimulation of collagen and all skin components, especially with blemished, abnormally pigmented, scarred, aging, sun-damaged, undesired new growths on the skin. Helps strengthen, restore, repair and rejuvenate – optimal youthful.

Begin using Vitamin A Plus every other evening for 2 weeks then every evening mixed with the other evening skin products that help this be even more clearing and successful. Then you add PEEL AFTER you finish your EXFOLIATING REPAIR In everyone after 2 weeks of using VITAMIN A PLUS if there is no irritation evident.

Instructions: Use ONLY in evening after cleansing, 2-3 squirts are enough for thin layer needed on face, neck, eyelids, chest. If using PEEL, wait I minute AFTER then apply. Can use on entire body and use under Retin A. May mix in PM with all products except CLEANSER & PEEL. Start by using VITAMIN A PLUS every 3^rd night if you have dry and sensitive blemished skin for 2 weeks then every other night for 2 weeks, then every night.

IF You have oily, thicker blemished skin then begin every OTHER night for 1-2 weeks then every night.

PEEL – is an alternative to ablative lasers and is necessary in virtually all blemished and especially scarred skin but especially in oily, thicker skin with more significant blemishes to help prevent the formation of and to treat blemishes, blackheads and whiteheads and to help reverse scarring and redness.  This SCIENTIFICALLY CORRECT, STRONG, therapeutic exfoliation and skin clearing is healthily and correctly exfoliating, has synergistic L-Lactic, Mandelic, Malic acids with Pumpkin Ferment to help diminish and suppress, prevent and clear blemishes/breakouts, as well as brighten and even pigmentation from sun damage, scarring, wrinkles, melasma, hyperpigmentation, the risk of abnormal growths, it is restorative and rejuvenating.

In addition, Niacinamide, Phytic Acid, D-Beta Carotene, antioxidants, polyphenol rich fruit extracts to help maximally treat, repair, correct, anti-age. Anti-glycating, free radical quenching, super antioxidant Carnosine to help prevent loss of and REPAIR elasticity, wrinkling.

DO NOT USE until you are using VITAMIN C PLUS daily AND VITAMIN A PLUS at least every other NIGHT with no skin irritation for 2 weeks. THEN you can add PEEL following the directions to work up slowly because this is VERY strong and may irritate and may visibly peel a bit your skin initially then this goes away, and you have instead increasingly clear, less scarred and less red, smaller pores and beautiful skin we all seek along with lifting and tightening and reduced fine lines. EXCELLENT and STRONG and CLEARS skin!  YOU CAN USE PEEL without Vitamin A Plus then add Vitamin A Plus if skin not clear with PEEL after using nightly for 2 weeks.  PEEL CLEARS PIMPLES but nothing works overnight.

Instructions: Apply in EVENING only, first product after washing. One dropperful in your palm. May ONLY mix with VITAMIN C PLUS IF you need to be using VIT C PLUS in the evening if you have SIGNIFICANT blemishes which are HARD to clear despite doing all above (consider then low thyroid may be the cause). Apply thin layer to entire face, neck. chest, once a week for 2 weeks. If no irritation, increase every 2-3 weeks to twice a week, every other night, then nightly. Another 2-3 weeks, if no irritation, may apply 2 layers per night. Wait one minute after applying, then can apply evening products OVER, including Retin A if you are using as well as Vitamin A Plus but remember Retin A is a prescription and the only NON-toxic one on the market is one the pharmacist makes using my INGREDIENT OPTIMIZING CREAM.

Use PEEL as well on body brown spots, stretch marks, scars, growths, nightly if no irritation, or increase to 2-3 layers per night as above.

Please follow all product directions carefully. Please add the following products as directed.

ORGANIC SULFUR – Helps to promote reduction of acne and its facial scars by optimizing youthful and healthy collagen production in the skin, decreased redness, organ function optimization, thyroid and immune function.

In addition, it helps improve energy, clearer thinking, detox, liver cleansing, decrease internal fungal overgrowth, increased sense of well-being, improve skin tone, clarity, anti-aging, texture, pigment and color, and the reduction of skin wrinkles.

Instructions: Sulfur should always be taken 45 minutes -1 hour before any prescription medications or supplements. You will start with ½ teaspoon once a day anytime for 7 days, then 1 teaspoon once a day for 7 days, then 1 HEAPING tablespoon ideally as more is better once a day. Some people have reported detox symptoms initially meaning feeling a bit of intestinal gas, bloating and a bit flu-ey and this means you may be full of lead and mercury and should have a t some point a urine heavy metal kit (Doctor’s Data lab is the gold standard one). If detox symptoms occur, they will go away in a week or you can decrease to the lower dose for a week before increasing again. Dissolve the crystals in a small amount (4 oz) of warm or hot NON-chlorinated water (best to use bottled/spring water) followed by a full glass (8 -10 oz) of water. If a microwave is used to heat the water, do NOT add the sulfur until AFTER the water is heated. Microwaves use temperatures above 400 F and sulfur vaporizes at 270 F. However, heating the water in a microwave is a good way to remove chlorine if not using bottled water.  ALSO if you do not like the taste that also implies you are full of lead and mercury but add an herbal tea bag with a taste you like or green tea and lemon as it is SO Good for you everyone should take and is one of MY MOST important supplementation.

IODIZYME – Iodine therapy helps reduce heavy metal toxins in the body that cause inflammation and acne breakouts and helps the body eliminate fluoride, mercury, aluminum, arsenic, lead and more.

It helps the thyroid gland-the master gland and energy of the body- produce more active thyroid hormone-very anti-aging and health contributing-and to function more youthfully and healthily.

Iodizyme supports the immune system, helps detox the body and reduce fungus. Helps to support and decrease the risk of breast, prostate cancer.

Important – NOT for Hyper-high thyroid function patients or for thyroid cancer patients.

Instructions: Take 1 pill on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday any time of day. Anytime you have blood work drawn, ask for a Serum Iodine blood test, which should be high/normal ideally.

Correct science will tell you that it takes time as we discover the cause, correctly address; then the body takes the time it needs to repair, which you cannot speed up, but can be slowed down by being low thyroid, gut inflamed and nutritionally depleted. You MUST correctly address the internal CAUSES as well as the external SYMPTOMS to win the battle. There is a scientific reason for what I use and do NOT use to treat acne.

Remember that the skin is a window to what is going on inside and inflammation is the cause of all disease and aging. Virtually always in acne patients there is a normal level of androgens, but an INCREASED number and sensitivity of androgen receptors, thus the genetic propensity to experience acne instead of eczema or psoriasis or any other genetic issue in response to increased inflammation internally. When you are inflamed, this increases oil production in the hair follicle. Bacteria, viruses and fungus come in contact with our skin 24/7 and feast on oil, hair wicks microbes down into the narrowed, thickened from inflammation follicle resulting in blemishes and pus-filled whitehead ones.

Remember – Internal Inflammation Causes Acne

What causes that inflammation that results in YOUR body manifesting blemishes? In my experience and success in my offices – the PRIMARY cause is virtually always gut inflammation and when your gut is inflamed it sends into the bloodstream and tissues inflammatory chemicals, which activate the acne gene in your case. That is why I am a proponent of Live (and Eat) Right for your Blood Type for starters.

Internal and external inflammation, which is present chronically from diet, certain medications, pollution, sun, stress, chemical and electromagnetic exposure every day, further personifies the blemish symptoms.

Gut inflammation can and is VERY often also caused by LOW hydrochloric acid in your stomach because if it is low your poorly digested food hits the small intestine and starts inflaming the gut from duodenum to colon, and that is why you often have gas, bloating, constipation, food feeling like it sits and too slowly digests and IBS and other gut diseases.

Therefore, you take Hypo Zymase, then Inflamma Life Force if you need a stronger dose to treat gut inflammation. When your gut is inflamed internally then the bacteria, viruses and fungus we all eat all the time (this is normal and what HCL does in the stomach is to kill these organisms) more easily infect the inflamed gut.

This is also why you need to take Ortho Biotic and Organic Sulfur. When your gut is inflamed and damaged, you can eat fresh picked, organic, right out of the garden and all the supplements in the world, but your absorption of these healthy things is decreased significantly, which is not good for your cells, which need more – not less – and another reason why you cannot eat enough to adequately give the body what it needs/requires.

If the gut is inflamed in my experience, you see blemishes on all or some of these areas- the neck, forehead, cheeks, around the tip of the nose and upper lip. If you just have a few pimples on the lower chin, I find this is primarily just hormonal and you probably do not much have the acne gene. Back and/or chest acne is inflamed adrenal glands and that can be secondary to longstanding gut inflammation, high or great sensitivity to stress, unresolved emotional issues/traumas (we have all learned in medicine that we can never successfully cure patients until they recognize, address and cure their emotional issues and traumas, because of the resulting hormonal, inflammation and internal chemical derangements). Also, you are allergic to what you crave and that can significantly contribute to gut issues and blemishes.

Another PRIMARY and often can be an equal cause or the first cause or you have both – is low thyroid function – see the symptoms sheets (located in the Critical Info tab) for low thyroid on the website to see if you are likely to be hypothyroid. Low thyroid function increases internal inflammation and OFTEN is seen in acne patients and unless you treat this your acne will be at best VERY difficult to eliminate and at worse will NOT eliminate, because the internal inflammation seems to activate your acne gene and you experience blemishes. See if the symptoms of low thyroid (hypothyroid) disappear, otherwise you need to see your health practitioner for the following COMPLETE list of blood tests (FREE T3, FREE T4, REVERSE T3, TSH, Thyroid peroxidase antibodies and thyroglobulin antibodies), otherwise if you do not get the COMPLETE list, the diagnosis can be missed. If you have the clinical symptoms from the symptom sheet (located in the Critical Info tab) then at the cellular level your thyroid function is low for many reasons.

If we do not relieve your symptoms, then we will not solve the problem and you come to health practitioners to solve your challenges. I find what BEST and most bio-identically treats low thyroid is Armour (there are other brands equal to this – Naturthroid, Westthroid, or Ecothyroid). When your thyroid is working correctly it is producing T1, 2,3,4 and Calcitonin and if you just take the INactive form of thyroid hormone, T4 (thyroxine) this may not convert in the body to the ACTIVE form, T3 for many reasons therefore you will continue to have the symptoms of low thyroid. How to treat thyroid is a HUGE source of controversy amongst health practitioners. I use what works best from my and others experience and research
