A 30 year old woman came to see me for skin bad enough to make you want to cry.  Outside the acne, she was dealing with persistent facial, very coarse, hair growth.  The drugs she had taken for both over the years had made her toxic enough to cause big black circles under her eyes, dry skin peeling over the acne, exhaustion and a posture and hair geared to hiding her face. She was told by her dermatologist that one of the main problems was that her pores would not close.
    She went on the detoxification diet for a couple of weeks which was only hard for her in that the acne really blossomed for a few days.  We used the cleansing and toning herbs, hormone balancing and nourishing herbs, and later added a formula for hair and skin.  There was mild improvement at that time, and a week later she came in beaming.  "For the first time in years, look my pores have closed, my acne is all but gone."  Most of her face was smooth as a baby's bottom, except for a few patches of flaking.  Two weeks later when she brought in her sister, who had similar problems, I barely recognized her.  Her hair was off her face, her posture straight, she looked beautiful.  The dark circles were 75 percent gone.  We're still working on those, she's still on two of the drugs, which still have not helped after 1 year, but according to her doctor, she still needs to be patient... to be continued....
