You don’t have “acne-prone skin”; you have gut issues, a sluggish liver, poor thyroid function, and are a walking stress ball. Here’s how to tackle ACNE without needing to visit a dermatologist (spoiler alert: they’ll most likely make things worse). A GUIDE: for women & men🧵:
This guide combines insights into gut health, inflammation, hormonal balance, and nutrition for addressing acne holistically. By focusing on systemic health, this approach targets the root causes of acne, including hormonal imbalances, gut dysfunction, and chronic inflammation.
I) Fix gut health and reduce inflammation. The gut plays a central role in acne by influencing systemic inflammation, nutrient absorption, and hormonal balance. Why gut health matters: • Endotoxins: Harmful bacteria produce toxins that trigger inflammation, disrupt hormones,
Steps to fix the gut: 1. Eliminate irritants: • Avoid: Polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), grains, legumes, raw cruciferous vegetables, and excess starch, which can irritate the gut lining or feed harmful bacteria.
2. Support digestive health: • Raw carrot salad: • Grated raw carrot with coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and salt binds to endotoxins and estrogen, reducing inflammation. • Bone / gelatinous broth and gelatine: • Rich in glycine to repair the gut lining and reduce
3. Balance the microbiome: • Lactoferrin: Found in (raw!) dairy, lactoferrin inhibits harmful bacteria and reduces gut inflammation. • A combo of safe antibiotics (tetracycline, erythromycin, and penicillin) and probiotics (raw kefir: use cautiously with fermented foods like
4. Reduce gut inflamation: • Aspirin: A master anti-inflammatory. GeriCare, AniPrin P, Biomus: dissolve in warm water with baking soda and take with food. • Vitamin E: Protects gut cells from oxidative damage. • Salt and sugar: Stabilise blood sugar and reduce adrenal stress.
5. Support gut barrier integrity: • Vitamin A: From liver, egg yolks, or butter to strengthen the mucosal lining. • Collagen and gelatine: Promote gut repair and healing. Anti-inflammatory.
6. Promote bile flow and liver detox: • Coconut oil: Antimicrobial and supports digestion. • Coffee: Liver mega nutrient; stimulates bile flow and aids detoxification. • Carrot salad, well-cooked white button mushrooms. • Sugar (fruit juice, sweet fruit, honey, white table
II) Reduce systemic inflammation: Inflammation is a key driver of acne. Addressing systemic inflammation can reduce redness, swelling, and bacterial infections, and overall improve your well-being. Anti-inflammatory tools (apart the ones already mentioned): 1. Aspirin: •
III) Balance Hormones Hormonal imbalances, particularly excess estrogen and inadequate progesterone, can contribute to acne by increasing oil production and inflammation.

IV) Address bacterial infections Acne involves bacterial infections that trigger immune responses, leading to inflammation and pus formation. 1. Lactoferrin (topical raw kefir): • Inhibits acne-causing bacteria and supports the immune system. 2. Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide): •
5. Optimise nutritional status A well-nourished body is essential for clear skin. Key nutrients: 1. Vitamin A: Liver (small amounts weekly), egg yolks, butter. 2. Vitamin D: Sunlight or tanning shop supplements (Peemier Research Lab) to regulate immune function. 3. Vitamin E:
