“Fasting - Cleansing For Clearer Skin” The most popular natural method for clearing skin is fasting or cleansing protocols. Whilst this may be effective for many people, it does have a well known rather important drawback... Fasting to cleanse the internal organs, done in the long term is a good strategy for optimum health and clear skin, yet suffers the problem of being difficult and requiring high amounts of dedication to do it right, or else not get results. Most people do a simple 3-10 day fast, and this can have a helpful cleansing effect on the body. Yet doing this once or twice is unlikely to permanently resolve acne. To resolve acne by cleansing one needs to adopt a longer term strategy, and vigorously stick to it. One very popular cleansing protocol is the master cleanse . This involves drinking a lot of lemon water and nothing much else for about 10 days. The results are very impressive for even severe acne. But the acne is likely to come back at some point after the cleanse, whether it be a couple of days, or a few weeks. There are many other very good cleansing protocols available, but before diving into this type of holistic lifestyle, I would urge anyone suffering from really severe and stubborn acne to first adopt my simple natural health acne program, which requires less dedication and is many times easier to implement into ones daily life. But if you get into cleansing you'll soon have to make some hard decisions about how you live your life if you want to really get the most out of it. I have the highest respect for those who recommend and advise acne sufferers to cleanse, but feel that for most people who get acne - teenagers and young adults - it is perhaps too steep a gradient in natural health treatment. However, what is possible for the majority of acne sufferers is to make some permanent changes to their diet, take some supplements, and remedy a few other causes of acne. This is workable, and can fit into most young people's lifestyle and give fantastic results. This conclusion is based on much correspondence I've had with acne sufferers who find cleansing too much of a hardship to do in the long term. My advice to anyone seriously considering cleansing is to go for it, but have the realistic expectation that it is difficult and that one should be determined to do it properly with all the sacrifice that is typically necessary. If this isn't the way you want to go, then there are alternatives, and my program is something you should seriously consider finding out more about and using to clear up your acne with the minimum of hassle.
