To understand the relationship between intestinal cleansing and prevention of acne, we must first understand the relationship between our skin, the digestive system and excretory system.
Many of the foods we eat everyday contain inadequate nutrients and toxic substances, especially refined preprocessed foods with preservatives, artificial colors and artificial flavors. We often add additional "free radicals" (i.e. unstable molecules that attack our cells) to our food by unhealthy cooking methods, such as grilling on open fire or deep frying in oil. In addition, many of us intentionally ingest other toxic substances, such as alcohol, nicotine and stimulants, such as caffeine and other drugs with various adverse effects. After these foods are digested, our liver has to work overtime to detoxify all the foreign toxic substances so they can be excreted through our kidneys and skin. Some of the toxic substances escape the detoxification process of the liver, especially for people who have compromised liver functions.
We clean our face everyday, but people seldom think about whether or not they need to clean their intestines. Our intestinal tract is like a plumbing system in a house, with the small intestines comparable to sewage pipes and the colon comparable to a septic tank. If you continue to pour fat and debris down the drain, the pipes will become clogged. Septic tanks need to be pumped out occasionally. Otherwise, too much waste will accumulate and back up into the house. The same phenomenon will happen to your intestines.
When we pour greasy food, excessive dairy products, meats and other foods with toxic substances down our intestinal tract, food residues build up. Food residues, combined with mucous secreted by mucous membranes in the colon, form layers of gluey feces, which will build up in pockets and may pile up along the entire length of the colon and small intestines as well, year after year. Constipation becomes a norm . People have been known to carry up to 40-50 lb. of old dried up fecal matter in their intestines. Old feces do not pass from the body with ordinary bowel movements. They need a special treatment to dissolve the glue which binds them to the intestinal wall. This also explains why many elderly people have bowel obstruction, toxic colon, polyps, diverticulosis, diverticulitis, rectal bleeding or perforation, colon cancer and other intestinal problems.
If you let these decayed food residues accumulate in your intestines, you will suffer from "Autointoxication" (also known as autotoxicosis, enterotoxication, intestinal intoxication, intestinal toxemia or self-poisoning) which means the toxins released by the decay process, brought on by bacteria, pass into the blood stream and travel to all parts of the body. Every cell in the body can be affected and many forms of sickness can result from it, including Acne and other skin eruptions.
Nutrigenesis Approach Lean-N-Clean® is a mixture of water soluble natural fibers with cleansing herbs, plus a seaweed and a fat emulsifier, enhanced with vitamin B-5. This fiber mixture can absorb more than 14 times its weight of water. This water fiber mesh, together with the cleansing herbs and the fat emulsifier, is similar to a large sponge and detergent. They soak up and clean away your body's waste and impurities. The intestinal cleanser speeds up the removal of toxic waste and prevents the toxins from being absorbed into the blood stream and distributed to every part of the body, including the skin. The vitamin B-5 and the chlorophyll in the alfalfa leaf help repair the damaged cells. Ultimately, the intestinal cleanser reduces the chance of developing acne.
The first step to acne control is to avoid constipation. Take Lean-N-Clean® 2-3 times a day until active acne disappear, then take it 1-2 times a day for maintenance. See the side navigation panel for additional recommendations for people with severe chronic constipation.
