fruits while you are fighting acne. After you have balanced the
intestinal flora in your gut you can include fruits into your diet.
Replacing sugar with artificial sweeteners is even worse than sugar
itself. Artificial sweeteners contain many chemicals that are toxic
and convert to even more toxic chemicals (e.g. formaldehyde) in
your gut. Click here for more info on aspartame and artificial
The only healthy sweetener I know is the herb called stevia. It's
much sweeter than sugar and doesn't degrade your health like all
the other sweeteners do. It's so sweet that you only have to use

Dairy products. Cow's (or any other animal's) milk is not mean for
humans. Dairy products slow down digestion of other food and give
bacteria more time to putrefy them. Milk is also highly mucous

absorption of nutrients through the walls of small intestine.
Dairy cows are also constantly fed with hormones and antibiotics to
maximise their milk production. Those hormones and antibiotics
enter your body along with the milk you drink.
Commercial yoghurts tend to contain only small amounts of
probiotic bacteria and are thus not a good source. It works out
much cheaper and effective to take a good probiotic supplement.

go through and results are almost miraculous.
Regular mini-fasts. Similarly as you do regular maintenance for
your car you should do for your body also. It's a good idea to
regularly give your body some 'time off'. You can do this by doing
