Fact is, countless of pimple sufferers have reported that their pimple seemed to get worse when they consumed certain foods and saw dramatic positive change over their pimple condition when they eliminated the same foods from their diet and when certain foods with specific nutritional value were incorporated into their diet.
So why do dermatologists so stubbornly insist that diet does not cause pimple? The answer: you can't make as much money as you could make by selling drugs and over the counters. There is a huge pressure upon doctors coming from the drug and pharmaceutical companies to prescribe expensive medications and lotions that create dependency. The truth is, that your doctor is in a way, a hostage by the trillion dollar drug companies. Did you know that the drug companies, who have no interest in producing something that they cannot control financially, sponsor most medical schools?
The right diet, although not a solution by itself, can, in many cases, dramatically reduce inflammation and even completely clear one's pimple (if you're one of the lucky ones who's pimple is triggered by allergic response to food). There are less profits for the drug and pharmaceutical companies when promoting a clear skin diet.
The truth is that conventional medications will never cure your pimple, simply because they are pre-designed NOT to fix the internal cause of pimple. They are pre-designed to deal with the external symptoms of a disease as they create more and more dependency and more dependency means making more money all at our expense and ignorance.
The Theory That Diet Doesn't Cause Pimple Is A Myth
The dogmatic theory that diet does not cause pimple and that pimple is merely an incurable genetic disorder was based upon two dated researches published in 1969 and 1971 that were aimed at studying the connection between diet and pimple.
These studies were the foundation of the 'pimple symptoms treatment strategy', meaning, because pimple is a genetic disease that cannot be prevented, the only way to deal with pimple would be to tackle its symptoms (bacteria, inflammation, puss, redness, greasiness), by applying creams, antibiotics, taking prescription drugs and over the counters.
Surprisingly enough, years after the above studies were published, clinical trials and in depth researches experimenting the pimple diet link have found that the studies from 1969 and 1971 had came to the wrong conclusions and were in fact seriously flawed.
Recent studies have clearly found a significant connection between diet and pimple. It appears that the wrong diet is now thought to be one of the leading pimple contributing factors that can negatively affect hormonal regulation and the natural process of toxic elimination, which can seriously aggravate one's existing pimple.
Diet Shapes Who You Are (Including Your Pimple)
In the same way that crashing waves shape beach cliffs and just like the wind shapes the canyon walls, slowly and methodically over time, so does eating shapes and effects our physic, our internal system, our physical and mental being, from the organ down to the cellular level.
The idea that an object foreign to our body that is inserted by the food that we eat, has no effect on us, or has no impact on chronic conditions such as pimple is absurd. Diet is the primary thing that affects and shapes who we are.
Diet has cumulative effect on our bodies, and that includes our skin condition and pimple, which is a manifestation of a chronic internal problem slowly shaped and built by the wrong daily dietary choices over the years.
Pimple Diet and The Kitavan Islanders
While in the U.S, more than 80% of teenagers between 16 and 18 have pimple and more than 17 million Americans suffer from some form of pimple, there is an interesting evidence that native people that live and eat in traditional ways, have significantly lower to no occurrences of pimple.
In 2002, Dr. Cordain and his colleagues published a landmark study that examined 300 people living in the Kitavan Islands off the coast of Papua New Guinea that showed that none of the islanders had even one blemish on his or her face. Similar to the Kitavans, no case of pimple had been observed when the same experiment had been conducted upon the South American Indians called the Ache, living in a remote jungle in eastern Paraguay.
The natives of Kitavan and the South American Indians had no access to the latest over the counters, topical creams or conventional pimple medications and they had no dermatologist to consult with. The only vast difference between them and American or European citizens is their diet.
Pimple Diet and Sugar: The Sweet Poison
Did you know that sugar is a 100% pure chemical with zero nutritional value? Recent studies have clearly shown a connection between the consumption of sugar and the aggravation of pimple.
When you consume any form of refined carbohydrates (white sugar, white flour, white rice) here's what happens: right after you insert that 'sweet poison' into your body, it rapidly spikes up your blood sugar levels. Your body needs to bring those levels down so it secrets a surge of insulin, other male hormones and an insulin-like growth factor called IGF-1. The excretion of these hormones overwhelms your liver and your internal system in general. The excess of male hormones encourages the skin to excrete large amounts of sebum oil: The greasy substance that encourages the p.pimple bacteria to grow, resulting in the aggravation of your pimple.
Pimple Diet and Dairy Products: Got Milk? Got Pimple
Milk (all dairy products included) is the most harmful, mucus forming, allergenic and pimple aggravating food you can find. If you thought sugar can aggravate your pimple, here's another major nutritional player in the formation of pimple: behold the miracles of milk. Surprised? I thought so. After years of constant brainwashing by the media, who can blame us for thinking milk is good for strong bones and healthy teeth? The truth is: every sip of milk contains 59 different raging hormones, (which trigger the hyper-production of sebum oil resulting in more pimple), saturated animal fat, steroid hormones, dead white blood cells, and cow pus in abundance!
Did you know that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows 750 million pus cells in every liter of milk (about two pounds) produced in America? Think about it, the next time you pop a pimple.
Scientific studies already point the finger at milk as one of the worst pimple aggravating foods: "As pointed out by Dr. Jerome Fisher, 'About 80 percent of cows that are giving milk are pregnant and are throwing off hormones continuously.' Progesterone breaks down into androgens, which have been implicated as a factor in the development of pimple...Dr. Fisher observed that his teenage pimple patients improved as soon as the milk drinking stopped."
If there's one element you should remove from your diet in the quest for clear skin make it this one. Not only will you see an immediate improvement over your pimple, you'll feel a huge weight has been lifted from your body. If you worry about calcium intake, don't! Milk being acidic forming food creates a leeching effect where calcium is taken from your bones to balance the acidity. Milk actually deprives your body from its calcium resources. Green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds are not only excellent sources of calcium they also have the powers to help you fight your pimple symptoms.
Diet Is Only One of The Factors That Cause Pimple
Dairy products and sugar are not the only pimple aggravating foods. The two above cannot sum up the list of western made pimple triggering foods. There are several other foods you should clearly stay away from if you ever wish to clear your pimple. The good new is that there are tons of other foods such as essential fatty acids that are not only excellent for your skin, they can actually help you clear your pimple, by re-balancing your body and promoting to an pimple-free environment.
The right nutrition plays an important part in the complex process of pimple formation. When doctors claim there is no link between diet and pimple because certain individuals can eat specific foods and get pimple while others eat the same foods and don't, these doctors have failed to realize that there are several factors involved in the formation and aggravation of pimple and diet is only ONE of them.
The Final Verdict On The Pimple Diet Connection: How To Finally Overcome Your Pimple Challenge
