Susie D replied: "Acne is an autonomic neuropathy - the cause of most common health problems. An autonomic neuroapthy begins with a weak autonomic neuron that is easily stimulated even by trace amounts of strong stimulants. Poisons are some of the strongest stimulants. This would explain why I've seen acne clear up dramatically by avoiding non-organic milk / dairy products, and non-organic wheat. Why only wheat and dairy I don't know. Dairy was by far the worst trigger. It may have something to do with bovine hormones in the cows milk. Bovine hormones stimulate a cow's autonomic neurons to stimulate the growth of more udder cells to increase the cow's milk producing cycle, which probably also involves changing the cows hormones. If it changes human hormones too, then acne could result. Assuming that insecticides used on corps are a factor, as they seem to be because organic milk and wheat were not a problem, my best guess is that certain crops are treated with specific insecticides. Which would lead me to conclude that those insecticides tend to stimulate neurons that in turn change hormone levels or increase oil secretions in the skin, at least in some people. Milk and its derivatives are in just about all processed foods. Thus a whole food organic diet is a good treatment. The improvement I saw was lasting. Unfortunately, this person now needs to take drugs for a serious health problem and the drug contains non-organic lactose (from milk) as a drug filler, and the acne came back as soon as she started the medicine. Imagine, drugs contain pesticides. How irresponsible is that? Pesticides affect the nervous system whether we know it or not. Drs have all kinds of explanations for acne, but they aren't the cause. Weak (frail or injured) neurons are the vulnerability and poisons are the cause. Neurons can be genetically weak, and it's weak neurons that are most sensitive to even trace amounts of insect killers in food. Here is the whole food diet. Whole food organic diet - use all organic ingredients Fresh fruit and vegetables. Eat a banana or drink organic O.J. every day for potassium for nervous system health. Whole milk only. Eggs. Butter (salted only). Orange juice (no calcium citrate or lactate). Spring water for drinking / cooking / diluting whole milk - if desired. Popcorn (unflavored, but add butter after it's popped). Unbleached wheat flour (occasionally for waffles). Olive oil (use for salad dressing with salt). Pickling salt (or salt with no additives). Agave nectar sweetener (like pancake syrup). NOW brand calcium carbonate powdered - sold on Amazon or in health food stores - a calcium supp that's from mineral thus organic. It's tasteless and can be added to any drink. Can have canned small fish fillets in spring water. Dried peas or beans for soup. Organic meat, ocean caught fish, or organic hot dogs - will not be fully organic. Add more organic foods as time goes on, but watch out for organic processed foods. Most are never fully organic. To date, they are not required to be. Nature's Path makes a corn flake that is just corn and fruit juice, but even corn meal is soaked in water before processing, and the water is not spring water. But it can't hurt to try a product. Organic milk may soon be offered in school lunch rooms. We can only hope. Use only Aleve (non-gelcaps) for pain. They are easy on the nervous system and don't contain milk, corn, wheat or gelatin - all of which are non-organic drug fillers. Probably why Aleve works better than other pain relievers. Everything else contains insect and weed killer and or bovine hormones. You might consider having blood work done to see if you have appropriate balance in hormones. An imbalance is a neuropathy too and easily a side effect from pesticide ingestion. That's not what Drs will say. They'll say the reason is unknown - because studies are only done on people who eat non-organic food. They should know better, if they've had biology, or even seventh grade life science. Good luck what ever you try. I hope it works out well for you."
