I have a book called "A Handbook Of Natural Medicine For Today" written by Raymond Dextreit. He says someone who has chronic acne has allowed too many toxins to build up in their system. He recommends bentonite clay (1 teaspoon in 1/2 a glass of water) every morning on an empty stomach to get rid of most of the toxins. Then stimulate your liver with an olive oil-lemon juice mixture (1 teaspoon of each mixed) in the morning. Alternate this with clay water weekly. Before meals take the following decoction:
licorice root 30 grams
woodruff 30 grams
artichoke leaves 20 grams
bearberry leaves 20 grams
black currant (gooseberry leaves) 10 grams
horsetail 10 grams
marigold 10 grams
rosemary (flowered tops) 10 grams
small centaury 10 grams
yellow bedstraw 10 grams
1 tablespoonful for a cup of water. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let infuse for 10 minutes. This will help uncongest your liver. Sometimes some people are in such bad shape it can take a couple months to get rid of the acne. But it CAN be cured.

hit a growth spurt. acne here and there then everywhere. worse and worse over the course of a year. medicines tried are trycycline, minocycline, benzaclin, everclear, peroxide, alcohol, neutrogena. the list goes on. many thousands of topical over the counter and from a worthless doctor. i got colloidal silver for this but so far drinking it has been just as worthless as everything else. i'll try topical. what have i got to lose. nothing everything allready lost.

I don't think so unless your acne is not chronic but
rather some acute skin infection.

Acne, generally, is not caused by microbes. Microbes
only feed on sebum secretion, which is regulated by
hormones. Then the immune system attacks the microbes
and causes inflammation that looks like pimples.

Look deeper into causes of acne, and then you will be
able to cure it. Often it's related to GI problems and
hormonal imbalance. And these, in turn, can be caused
by variety of things: chronic stress, poor diet, EFA
imbalance, etc.

Hormonal imbalance often occurs during puberty, and
once this period is over, hormones frequently
rebalance. But even during that time, many people
observe dramatic improvement by dropping all refine
carbohydrates from their diet, and sometimes even
reducing carb consumption altogether.
