| Acne No More Why, how, and what you can do about it! I first want to point out that beauty products are a MULTI, MULTI billion dollar industry. As far as acne is concerned, let's take a look at addressing acne also on an internal level instead of just facial cleansers and scrubs. I personally had to deal with acne for over 30 years. I tried all the over-the-counter products honestly, never really noticing a difference, it was very frustrating. I also used Accutane for 6 months which was supposed to work for most who used it. It did work for me while I was on it, but as soon as I was off it and it cleared from my system, the acne reappeared! I also know for a fact from my own experience and from in depth research that diet does make a HUGE difference with acne and your over all complexion. Just using simple common sense alone, think of this - you place out on your sidewalk a piece of celery or some beans on one end of the sidewalk and on the other end you place a doughnut, and around it your pour some good ol' coke or Pepsi. Come back in one hour and make a comparison of what is going on between the two. I would probably guess that the coke and doughnut is covered with every little creature that could get to it, while at the other end of the sidewalk, the beans and celery have nothing on or around them. As it works out in the world, is also how it works on the inner world. It is why garlic also helps acne because garlic is anti-bacterial. It kills the bugs inside. Further more, Australian researchers found that a low - glycemic diet (meaning more whole grains, protein, and produce versus processed refined carbs, such as white bread and other white flour products, which by the way include many, many things most people eat daily. ) Did actually, reduce acne. We know that low - glycemic foods keep insulin steady, where as sugar and refined carbs spike insulin levels. The spikes are then, believed to boost the production of androgens (hormones) which in turn promotes ACNE. I personally believe that large skin care companies want us to believe that there is no connection between our diet and our skin. Now actually think about how ridiculous that is. How about we give the big CEO's of those companies about twenty niacin ( B-3 ) pills, and when their skin is bright patchy red flushing out toxins, we ask them again if diet and skin have a connection or not. It is like saying my knees have nothing to do with me walking, and that it is just my feet. Let’s wake up with some basic common sense. Just ask yourself, what do the large skin care companies stand to gain if they can get us to believe that we needed all their external products to have good skin, because diet has no impaction our skin? Money and piles of it. As I stated previously, I looked for 30 years for something that would work, and I tried all the facial scrubs without success. More often than not, I would end up with dry skin and frustration. I ended up creating an herbal - vitamin supplement that not only worked, but started working literally within hours. I truthfully could not believe it, in fact I was quite nervous that I was just imagining it. Years later and still working perfect. I was always the one watching the Acne infomercials seeing how these products worked on others and their testimonials of how it was a miracle for all whom tried it, but when it came to me it never worked. So if you doubt my product, I understand. I am not going to claim that my product will work on 10 out of 10 people, but I bet it will work on 9 out of 10 people and you will know it quickly. Not only does it solve acne, but it's a beauty product as well, by shrinking your pores! Pantothenic acid, which acquires its name from the Greek word meaning ubiquitous, is present in all tissues. Its universal presence is an indication of its importance. This is further reflected by the many reactions that it catalyzes. It is very understandable why then, that the amount of Pantothenic Acid required for optimal health, is of the same order of that of vitamin C. Basically what seems to be the cause of acne is a defect or deficiency in a person's metabolism of lipids (fats) which occurs due to a lack of Coenzyme-A in the body. Coenzyme-A is made of ATP (energy), Cysteine, and Pantothenic Acid. Of these 3, Pantothenic Acid is the only one which is a vitamin and must be supplied through the diet. The other 2 are produced by the body. So if you supplement with Pantothenic Acid you create more Coenzyme-A in your body and your fats get metabolized. A lack of Coenzyme-A in the body means that fats don't get broken down. Instead, they get deposited in your sebaceous (oil) glands and get secreted as sebum (oil). Oil is a fat in liquid form. You get acne because the acne bacterium (Propionibacterium Acne) in your pores feeds on this excess oil. Now think about why the Dermatologist prescribes antibiotics, because if you can kill the bacteria feeding on this excess oil, you can then reduce your acne. The problem is you are addressing the symptom of a compromised lipid metabolism. As a result, you have to continue taking antibiotics, which are quite destructive. But if you had no oil or very little oil in your pores, there would be nothing there for the bacteria to feed on. Consequently, there would be very little acne or no acne. Taking large doses of Pantothenic Acid shuts down your oil production, drying up your pores, and reducing your acne. Accutane also shuts down oil production, but does it by actually shrinking your oil glands. Pantothenic acid doesn't shrink your oil glands, but creates enough Coenzyme-A so that fats don't get deposited in your oil glands in the first place. This would explain why acne starts around puberty. At puberty, most Coenzyme-A gets used to make the sex hormones. Since formation of the sex hormones and reproductive organs of the body is the more important reaction, fat metabolism gets put on hold, an oil production increase, which causes acne to develop. But if you supplement with enough Pantothenic Acid, you will create enough Coenzyme-A in the body and both sex hormone synthesis and fatty acidmetabolism will be taken care of. This would also explain why acne tends to subside after puberty when a person is in his/her 20s. When the sexual characteristics are fully developed, there is much more Coenzyme-A available for lipid metabolism. Stress, a woman's cycle, and lack of sleep also lower the levels of Pantothenic Acid available for lipid metabolism. The other major benefit from taking large amounts of Pantothenic Acid is that the pores on your skin actually shrink in size and become visibly smaller. The skin becomes very fine and smooth looking. Like sebum excretion, the pores will continue to shrink until the skin becomes much finer, giving people much more beautiful skin. This decrease in skin pore size is presumably related to sebum excretion. When an acne lesion is formed, there is in the epithelial cell of the hair follicle an accumulation of lipids, leaving the epithelial cells bulky and the lumen of the gland narrowed. When there is a concomitant increase in sebum flow, the follicle has no choice but to hypertrophy to accommodate the changes, resulting in an enlarged skin pore and coarse skin. With the administration of Pantothenic Acid, the whole process is reversed. Lipid metabolism becomes normal and efficient. The epithelium is no longer laden with fat droplets, there is a decrease in sebum excretion, and the hypertrophy process is not required. The skin pores revert to a much smaller size and the skin becomes smooth and fine. Once Pantothenic Acid therapy has worked, a maintenance dose is usually needed to keep the acne away. This is a lower dose in the range of 1 to 5 grams a day. |
