PERFECT SKIN

PERFECT SKIN

Prologue: Why am I writing this?  Because I have been dealing with skin issues for a majority of my life, before filtering all that bullshit that has been fed to me by the liars, con-men, and ignoramuses of this world, and I think people deserve to know some truth.  Most skin situations can be managed and cured with little to no treatment.  Wowzers?  I know.

TRUTHS
Let’s Begin:

So, with all the chemicals, washes, peels, vitamins, and acne treatments, you would think that people would have better results, but they don’t.

Why Is that?  Maybe because like everything else in this world, someone is trying to sell you crap you don’t need, which usually ends up exacerbating the situation.

DIET?  If your body was a vehicle, the oils and gases you put into it, would dictate how well that machine worked.  So, the joke was always that chocolate causes pimples, but what they didn’t want to tell us, was the real culprit was what made the chocolate sweet.

A REFINED COMPOUND, that is completely saturated in the PROCESSED FOOD market and IMO, the leading cause of all CANCERS, sickness, and disease.  Wow, that is a big statement, but I’m going to live by it.

The magic BULLET is SUGAR.  You eliminate that sugar, the bacteria that normally exists on your skin will not gorge itself with that sugary treat and elicit an immune response that will cause excess inflammation and WHITE BLOOD CELL pimples.  (Consider processed white bread as straight sugar as well.)

Like anything, in moderation, sugar is okay, but the levels of sugar intake in this society by the uninformed, has diabetes and obesity skyrocketing.  Funny enough, those are only the most obvious ills of sugar saturation, but trust, when I say, it is a DRUG that flies under the radar.

Simple sugars that are complex, take longer to digest, giving a more even disbursement of the mitochondria fuel.  After all, aerobic respiration drives the cells, which gives us life.  “Nutrients commonly used by animal and plant cells in respiration include glucose, amino acids and fatty acids, and a common oxidizing agent (electron acceptor) is molecular oxygen (O2)”

Quickly: I also eliminated Caffeine from my diet, which is a stimulant to think about leaving behind.  SODA POP and morning COFFEES.  (Sugar and Caffeine COMBO) And a balanced person has plenty of energy to wake up in the morning.  You don't need all these drugs to jump start you, even though you have been conditioned to think so.

UPDATE: Honey with green tea or coffee seems to work for me with no real problems.

WOW!  You can’t believe it.  Why wouldn’t anyone talk about this truth?  Maybe because sick people are easier to milk for money. 

Moving on:

The oil your skin produces is a natural and wonderful home grown product.

Your skin PH levels actually protect you, so adding complex chemicals to the mix probably isn’t the best bet.  Your skin has a naturally, salty ph, which is acid and delays bacterial growth.  Hmmmm.

So, what happens when you wash your face?  Does it destroy the natural oils and ph lvl?

You called this "perfect skin".

If it works, why no images of somebody (you?) who gained "perfect skin" by following this regime?

So, you have absolutely no evidence to back up your claims.

Sugar has almost none of the bad effects you claim.

It does not cause cancer, it does not cause spots (the bacteria in spots are living off the sebum (natural greases) of your skin. Your skin cannot excrete sugar).

You cannot safely eliminate sugar from your diet - honey is largely sugar (with a little water), all fruits contain large amounts of sugar (that's why fruit is sweet).

There are only three health issues that are genuinely associated with excess sugar in the diet:

> Tooth decay (so, brush your teeth)
> Weight gain (so, exercise)
> Issues with some forms of diabetes.

Teen skin issues are not caused by excess sugar, but by the naturally-occurring increase in sebum production associated with the changing hormones of puberty. Washing your face is about the best thing you can do for that.

Your skin is "perfect" now? Good for you. That's what happens when you grow up, get through puberty and sebum production settles down.

So, what we have here are some completely unfounded claims, some industrial-grade libel and some genuinely dangerous "advise" about germs.

Not good.

I'm confused. If your claims are backed by science, then why do professionals such as scientists and doctors say otherwise? It's like i learned back in elementary school: if you have to look through pages and pages of things refuting your claims just to find one things that tell you you're right, you're probably wrong. It's true actual breakthroughs will sometimes be called incorrect, but if that's the case I would like at least one bit of proof you're right.
Apr 27, 2012. 10:33 AMKiteman says:
You are exactly correct.

The author now claims to be an ex-teacher (but he doesn't say of what), and classifies himself by an inherently-flawed personality-profiling system, as if that somehow makes him automatically right.

I think the tin-foil hat is a bit tight today...
Feb 16, 2012. 2:40 AMKiteman says:
Ignorant, eh? So, where are your scientific references to show that humans excrete sugar in their sweat?

Newsflash; there are different kinds of microbe, and they have different biochemistries.  Microbes in your mouth feed on sugar. The completely different microbes on your skin feed on the greases excreted by your skin.

But, what would I know?  I'm only a Science teacher, I've only been involved in Science for longer than you've been alive.  The facts are, it seems, that I've wasted my life - all I needed to do was dream up a bunch of woowoo, shout about it and shout libellous insults at anybody that dares to disagree with me, and immediately the whole of reality will reorganise itself to make me correct!  You, sir, are a genius!

Oh, dear.



I have no idea what an "ENTJ" is to you*, or what you were a teacher of, but being able to copy-paste a single paragraph from wikipedia does not make you an expert.



Quite the opposite, in fact, since you didn't bother to read down to the section that describes the metabolic pathways associated with fats, most especially the part that describes the way fats are metabolised for energy without being converted to sugars on the way.



If you're going to try and cover up your errors with long, googled words that you don't understand, please, don't try it when you're up against a genuine teacher, with a track record of excellence and success.



But, this isn't about me pointing out the deficiencies in your academic rigour or general honesty, it's about correcting your mistakes and pointing you towards personal progression, as any genuine teacher does.



*(in the UK, the abbreviation is only used in the much-criticised MBTI personality profiling)



By the way, I would also appreciate it if you did not libel an entire profession by besmirching it with your own failings.  Why you are already a "former teacher" at such a young age is between you and your ex-employer, not an indicator of the capability of your colleagues who are more able to stay the course.
Apr 28, 2012. 2:41 AMKiteman says:
I had to google your acronym because, in the UK, that system was discredited and fell into misuse nearly 20 years ago.

Rather than posting such long rambling posts, how about addressing the main point that you were wrong to claim that fats are metabolised into sugars before they are used for energy, and that you are too afraid of being wrong to notice that the copy pasta you tried to use to prove you are right, actually proved you to be wrong.

As for that rubbish about copy pasta being an important part of teaching, I think that gives us an insight into the reason you are a former teacher.

Now, to reiterate:

You do not excrete sugars through your skin.
Skin microbes do not subsist on sugar.
It is dangerous to remove sugar from your diet.
The vast majority of cancers are not linked to, or caused by, sugars. A small numbers of colonic cancers have been linked, with poor statistical strength, to glucose consumption in a small number if people who already have a pr

...oblem metabolising glucose.

Oops, that's what happens when you type on a tiny screen.

Anyhoo, you're clearly an obsessive, who only sees what he wants to see, and cannot respond to reasoned argument and clear evidence with anything except ad hominem rants and broad-stroke libellous statements.

I can only hope you did not assault the fragile young minds in your [alleged] brief stint as a teacher in the same manner you have been attempting to beat me down.

You, sir, are a troll of the first water.

You may have the last word, as a sop to your ego, but this is the last feed you get from me.

All was cool until you recommended Cetaphil. Did you know with how many crap common moisturizers are made, right? Did you know that the common moisturizing agent (mineral oil, paraffin, petrolatum) they use is foreign to our bodies, right? You missed some parts of your ignorance, recommending common unnatural and chemical-loaded skincare products is exactly the same as being an ignoramuse. Learn a bit more about cosmetic ingredients and you will go on your way. I will recommend something like shea butter, that's not "comedogenic", or some oil, like argan, grapeseed, hazelnut, camellia, that most oils does NOT causes skin problems as ignorants believed, "oil-free" it's just crap. On the other hand, I think you're really wise, I agree with most of your recommendations.

1. Hot water in the shower or a warm wash cloth to open up the pores with a mild soap.

That's the only point I disagree on in here. Don't put soap on your face, and rinse your shampoo out so that it doesn't touch your face. Find a gentle cleanser with no soap, artificial scents or colours in it. The one I use won't be available to you over in the US, but finding it made a huge difference for me.

Great article! I totally agree with what you said. However you might want to include some sort of exfoliant in your routine. And if you are still looking for a good cleanser/soap raw honey is great. It removes makeup effectively without drying out your skin.

FYI. I started a low carb hi protein diet for obvious reasons. After I had been on it about 4 months, a skin rash that had plagued me for months finally disappeared. Also, I noticed within two weeks of starting that my skin became softer. This is a rash that did not disappear while I was taking an medicine for pneumonia! My hypothesis was that the rash was fungal and that it had been denied food for propogation. I am inclined to agree about the sugar but not re the caffeine as that has made the hunger from the hi protein diet manageable.

That was a very interesting read, thanks for putting it together. I never even thought about sugar as a culprit, though it make sense.

I decided to watch what I eat a little more carefully. I heard that too much stomach acid in teens can also cause breakouts, so I have trying to monitor my intake of greasy food as well. Now I eat bananas and I drink milk instead of juice.
Mar 4, 2011. 10:14 PMisyangel says:
Milk is also a cause for breaking out because of all the hormones packed in cow milk. I drank less milk and my acne is getting much better. If you need calcium, just buy calcium pills.
