Acne and skin problems
Our skin is the largest organ of elimination and assimilation there is. It reflects the state of our entire system and is a good barometer of our internal health. Chronic skin problems are a sign that something is amiss. It can be as simple as poor eating habits - an excessive intake of chips, chocolate, soda, colas, coffee, and sweets - or even an indication of hormonal imbalance, nervous disorders, or allergies. Severe teenage acne is not normal. It can leave the skin scarred for years, and can emotionally affect a young person in a very negative manner. Cleanse the lungs, liver and colon.Dietary suggestions for acne

- Drink in excess of 8 glasses of water daily
