Chemical & heavy metal poisoning
Let’s briefly return to our ‘cause of acne’ chain:
Indigestion Æ growth of unfriendly bacteria in your digestive track
Æ increase in toxicity that overloads your liver and kidneys Æ acne
So far we have explored the role of diet in this chain. While I
strongly believe that diet is the main culprit for acne for most
people, it is important to understand that there are also other
sources of toxins/poisons that disrupt the normal functioning of
your body and lead to acne.
All chemicals that enter your body through food, drink, air, etc are
treated as poison by your body. They are taken to liver and kidneys
for deactivation and elimination. This places additional stress on
your liver and thus reduces its capacity to deactivate and eliminate
other toxins.
It is also possible that these pesticides and other chemical additives
interfere with the chemical reactions during digestion process.
Where do these chemicals/poisons come to you body? The following
article by Mike Adams gives you some idea (NOTE: you absolutely
should read the article before reading on this book).

Acid/alkaline balance and acne
Next we need to briefly discuss acid/alkaline balance in your body.
Acid/alkaline balance has lots of similarities toxification of your body.
Your body should be slightly alkaline; only digestive juices in your
stomach should be acidic.
Maintaining the correct balance
Keeping correct acid/alkaline balance is critical to proper functioning
of your body. Thus your body will do everything it can to maintain
that balance.
