You guys have to remember: Just because you start eating well, and still have acne, doesn't mean food is unrelated to the cause. When you begin eating properly, your body starts slowly detoxifying itself, and this may take months and months, depending on how severely damaged your insides are from all the junk you've been feeding it.
You may eat junky for only a month, but it could take three or four times that for your body to detoxify.

i agree with you on that, just becuase you cut out junky food temporarily it still may take months for your colon to cleans itself completely.
for the person who said that he took CH and it didnt clear up there skin...well it does all depend on how much waste is in your colon, some waste has been there since you were 5 and is really hard compacted waste stuck to the walls of your colon, my first CH i didnt see any difference at all, but i asked the therapist and she told me that it may take 4 to even 10 CH's to completeely clean on the colon so its properly working again...it took me 8 times to clean it out then i did there hair sample to see how toxic you are and then they said im fine i dont need anymore CH's for months, a month later my skin was clear, it even cleared up my scars from accutane, i feel more energetic, stronger, confident, healthy, even my back pains went away after sleeping.
i recommend looking up colon hydrotherapy and its benefits all over the internet and im sure that they will all say the same thing.
I did cut all those foods out for very long periods of time. especially the sugar, chocolate, and junk food like chips. I ate only fresh fruits, veggies, and meat (only chicken and pork) and also ate some pasta and grains but that was it for close to 6 months. I wish that would have helped back then but it didn't and I had to deal with another almost 10 years of acne after that.
That is just as bad as saying that people with acne are just too lazy to wash their faces. I know that my acne is completely out of control and nothing I will do will ever work. I am not just too lazy to eat right. But I appreciate that you're trying to help. Maybe it works for some people, but its a hasty allegation.
unfortunately-
alot of expensive methods like the colon thing are a bit out of range for most of us to try. diet change is worth a go, many on this board have had sucess or partial sucess that way. I thikn many people with persistent acne who frequent this board and have had no sucess with various treatments, need to see a really good doctor, preferably an endicrinologist (who tests various hormone levels) and a good dermatologist who isnt just a prescription writer. The hormone thing is esp important, its very relevant to acne and I believe might help people find a cure. Im sure the colon thing works for awhile, but how long till you have to get it cleaned again>? and Im sure most of us are not relishing the thought of whatever they have to do to get the water in there. can I say EW and OUCH? NO WAY. id rather have pimples.
Personally, I do coffee enemas once a week. And yes, I administer them by myself. I've been doing them for months now, and actually look forward to them. They make me feel good, inside and out. Makes me feel super-de-duper clean inside.
It was weird the first time I did one, but after the initial feeling of "whoa, liquid up my backside!", it was amazing.
I'd also love to get a colonic done one day.

Mike, I'm glad you were able to solve your problem but you're wrong - eating wrong may aggravate acne, but it is RARELY the sole cause of it. That's an unfair thing to say, like acne is moral failing or something.
If what you say were true, I would have had acne all thru high school and college. I ate a crappy diet, had lousy digestion, didn't drink nearly enough water, didn't exercise, rarely bothered to wash my face, and I never had acne. I had depression and fatigue, yes. A few tiny breakouts in the oily zones, sure, but not actual acne.
what abt those colon-cleansing tablets that the Minister of Herbs and Natural Healing advertises all ova the TV... they say that using these herbs is the natural cure for most diseases: impotency, obesity, acne... u name it. They have sooo many success stories to broadcast.. I'm thinking of this route, but I heard that someone even died from going to the toilet that much. Does anyone recommend/warn against this?
