KT for Acne??

[Guest guest]

Hi group, i've written before about my acne a few months back. Basically,

as i've been eating more and more organic whole foods suited for my body

type, i've been getting more zits. part of this may be that i have stopped

using proactive with active ingredient benzoyl peroxide. that stuff worked

well! but it's a chemcial, so i stopped. now i just rinse my face wtih rose

water and a use water plus a few drops of raw apple cider vinegar as a toner

in the night, and some aloe vera gel in the day. a few months back, when i

first had my KT, that's when i got the acne (tiny little zits), so i stopped

the KT. the acne didnt' totally go away but did lessen somewhat. but then

the acne came back worse when i stopped my medicine for ulcerative colitis.

i had been taking this medicine for about 6 years (asacol, 400 mg). and for

a good portion of those years i took about 6 pills a day. now i hardly ever

eat anything processed, eat everything fresh, balanced for my body type,

organic, and drink tons of water. but the acne keeps coming..and in

addition, these dead skin come up too which i can just rub and come

off. it's quite weird. my face is very active right now.

i realize my body may be rejecting toxins, but recently i talked to an

acupuncturist who told me that the skin is not the priimary mode of

eliminating toxins from the body, but rather, toxins leave through skin only

when the liver and kidneys are clogged. when i heard this, i thought about

KT, which i had tried for only a month or so a few months back. I have read

here that KT is great for the liver. So i'm going to try it out (GT Dave's

brand).

Have any of you had expriences with KT and acne? I hope that drinking a cup

of KT and plenty of spring water throughout the day will help the problem in

two months or so. i can tell you guys the results. i can't think of

anything else to do..as i eat plenty of dark greens (including bitters),

veggies, limit fruits, and have plenty of good fats such as coconut oil,

farm fresh eggs, raw nuts, raw kefir/cheese/butter, cod liver oil, etc. I

also do yoga daily, and walking. and get plenty of rest. so anyway, just

wanted your feedback if drinking the KT will help my acne, and any tips? i

have tried externally a lot of things..raw honey with sea salt helps some.

but i'm hoping what i eat/drink will help me get over the acne.

acupuncture is a bit expensive for me right now.

thanks.
