PROVEN WAY TO CLEAR ACNE

PROVEN WAY TO CLEAR ACNE
Here is a proven way to clear acne naturally.  Let me tell you  a true story about a young man that had a terrible case of acne.  About twenty years ago a dermatologist was skiing at Mt Hood skiing resort. She went to the desk and there was a young man there assisting customers.  He had the worse case of acne that she had ever seen.  When the doctor approached the young man she asked him if he was interested in clearing up his acne.  Of course his answer was yes. 

She said that when our hormones are very active it causes acid to build up in our stomach which causes acne. 

She told him that if he would juice a raw potato in a juicer and drink the entire solution of the raw potato juice a couple of times a day for several days it would clear up his acne.  She explained that the raw potato juice neutralizes the acid build up in the stomach which causes the acne.  

A year later she was skiing again and he approached her but she did not recognize him.  He thanked her for sharing the valuable information that transformed his life.

My grandson heard this story when he was a teenager and  and it worked for him. Every-time he broke out he would use this treatment and it cleared up his acne. He did not like the taste of the potato juice so he juiced an apple with the potato and it still worked for him.  Doing this will change the PH of the potato juice so I am not sure how well this will work for someone else who might have a very bad case of acne.  You might experiment trying different veggies or fruit.  Try adding a carrot if you can't stand the potato juice by itself.  I tasted potato juice and I can drink it alone.  All I know is just plain old raw potato juice clears up acne.  

Of course again balancing the bodies PH levels is very beneficiary to a healthy complexion, as well as avoiding chocolate, sodas, coffee, and highly processed foods. Refer to my other instructables on health to understand PH in-balance.

One should definitely use caution when trying this remedy. I remembered reading a long time ago that raw potatoes were poisonous. I went ahead and looked it up. It's #1 on the list here: http://listverse.com/2009/01/06/top-10-poisonous-foods-we-love-to-eat/



Maybe boiling/heating the juice before drinking it would help lower the risk of poisoning?

The poisonous attributes of potatoes would make a lot of sense considering people reporting stomachaches from just eating the potato.

Wouldn't this expose you to a lot more glycoalkaloids than necessary? I don't know an easy way to test potatoes for glycoalkaloid concentration, but I know higher concentration is found just under the skin so at the very least peeling the potato is probably better if you're going to try this.
