Do You Have Problem Acne?

Have you been suffering with acne for a long period of time?  Have you tried just about every medicine, topical cream, and diet?  Ever considered dangerous drugs like Accutane?  I did and I have finally found something that works!  And by the way I am not shilling for any company or product – this is real.

I was a typical teenager with a few breakouts on my face, but nothing serious.  My problem was that I was getting blemishes and occasional lesions on my back, chest and upper arms.  The problem got worse every time I sweated and as an athlete I was sweating a lot.  By the time I hit college my face was perfectly clear, but the blemishes remained.  I went to dermatologists and they all said just wait it out it will go away as you age and in the mean time try this antibiotic, or cream, or whatever else the pharmaceutical companies had come up with.  In my mid 20’s I saw no changes and I started to get really annoyed.  I was embarrassed and I wanted the blemishes gone!

After another round of dermatologists and more antibiotics, creams and body washes I saw absolutely no improvement.  The only thing that really helped was being in the sun and keeping my body tanned which cut down on the blemishes, but did not completely solve the problem (I was fortunate to be living in California and spent a lot of time at the beach).

Fast forward to my early 40’s with a slight reduction in blemishing and lesions and no ideas about what to do next.  My current dermatologist is fantastic, but he ruled Accutane out because my condition was not bad enough to warrant the use of what is considered to be a potentially dangerous drug.  I am not a fan of pharmaceuticals, but after over 20 years of blemishing I was at my wits end and willing to take the health risk.

I had researched homeopathic remedies what seemed like hundreds of times and while researching ways to detox my body I came across something called Bentonite Clay (thanks to one of my best friends who is extremely well versed in homeopathic remedies).  I read up on it and found that many people were using it as a face mask to relieve acne and seeing excellent results.  I wanted to start a detox plan and from the research Bentonite Clay was an excellent choice and to boot it was helping with serious acne problems so I figured I would give it a try and see what happened.

I bought some liquid Bentonite Clay (http://www.iherb.com/Yerba-Prima-Great-Plains-Bentonite-Detox-16-fl-oz-473-ml/4789?at=0).    After two weeks of taking 1 TBSP twice a day on an empty stomach I am amazed at the results.  The blemishing on my arms, chest, and back is almost gone and is improving every day.  Liquid Bentonite does not taste like much of anything and I take it with some water.  I hope it works as well for you as it has for me so far.
