i have lots of acne in my face niw is it true that lemon can help decrease ur acne??and putting toothpaste in ur zits?...doe sit really worked cuz i tried the lemon thingy and i can see the results and after that i have blemishes all over my skin idk...maybe bcuz of the lemon!!who knows
i only have major problems in the winter. During the summer when I wear tank tops and ect. my back gets to "breathe" i guess and I have no problems at all. That's another reason on my list of why i hate winter.
Yeah I'm wondering myself. Do we rush out and get all those diff types of vitamins he mentioned or what? I take Multivitamins but i guess its not enough. Acne is kicking my ass lately :(
I think its the medical - maffia fault, they dont want to give us the main reason of acne problem because they want to sell their freaking acne-creams that only make the skin worse .....
I saw this too late. Already poisoned my body w/ Accutane. Now I have Secondary Intracranial Hypertension or Psuedo Tumor Cerebri. Thanks for sharing this video. Great info.
Dr. Martin- I have felt like the foods you eat and the way you take care of your body had something to do w/ acne for years but I was always shot down by 'dermatologists' who just want to give me another perscription that doesn't even work. THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping people get healthy inside and out and acheive beautiful skin. God bless! :)
I always heard what you eat could cause acne, but i just never bought into it....But you explained it in a good way! Im gonna start drink more water and less junk :)
The shit is crazy but I kinda figured it out when I was in HS that pimples came from within. I'm not talking about a few zits here n'there because of dirty skin, but rather I'm talking about pizza face, back, chest, thighs, buttocks, and neck area. I had a few friends that went through puberty like I did, and all they had were a few zits, while I'm hiding and putting hoodies on in the Summer time because my zits were almost like little hills on a flat plan!
I have a few question. Do i have to regularily exercise? And i have been eating a lot of greens, minerals, vitamins, and cutting red meats, bad oils, and junk food and fast food restraunts. I have a cystic acne. And i dk. i need some clarification.
So what nutrients should you take via pill and what ones should you get through eating food (for instance, I take a vitamin C tablet every day because I don't get enough of it by just eating food, but I drink tons of milk naturally, so I get calcium that way)? What kinds of food can I find these nutrients in? Or, if it's easier, what are the "no-no's"?
I think your video's are interesting but they seem a little vague I mean how do you find out which nutrients are missing?? I've had Cystic acne intermittently since puberty reprieved by roaccutane for a few years but it made me so sick it's not worth doing again. Bio-identical progesterone and pregnenolone also worked for a couple of years but then the acne started back. I have coeliac disease and follow a very strict gluten free diet. I have tried all sorts of diets none seemed to work
you know that the liver needs zinc to function. but did you know sperm has alot of zinc in it so when your masterbaiting your depleting alot of zinc so if you have tried fighting the urge to masterbait it might just help your acne
thats so true i found when i started takin MultiVitamins by NatureMade & drinking more water... my face started clearing up & when i ran out of them my acne came back lol but i rebought them & my face is clearing up again!
Great video! I suffer from adult acne, would you recommend vitamins for liver i saw at the shop the other day...i also heard that taking too much protein for those who work out can affect your liver, in excess. Do you know if that is true?
my name is eddie smith and im 14 and i was just on your website and you said that people who want to get rid of there acne should cut out the dairy and starch. well i talked with my parents after and they said sense im still growing i need the calcium and protein from the dairy, and they also said that the starch is good for me sense im an athlete and it helps the muscles recover but im tired of having the acne i want clear skin. so what should i do?
Wow this is interesting, it makes total sense though. The worst part is people jump from skin product to product getting discoraged over time when they're not even getting proper instructions. Respect .
Poor Mr. Liver... always overlooked until you're jaundiced. I get painful cystic (I think) acne ALWAYS on my chin. I can go a week of healing and no acne, just what's leftover and then all of a sudden another week goes by and I have ten painful zits popping up over the old ones. I've been dealing with this for eight years and still no remedy for me. I think it's time I visited a dermatologist since my doctor isn't helping me. Thanks for the video!
OMG i loved this video trust me i did not know anything of this before but now i realize it is so true, i mean im 14, and my acne is BAD but now that i know i can really try to get rid of it wiht all those tips thank you very much for posting this video
Hello Dr.James i have a question for you; I have not to bad acne but i am tired of it because im onot as confedent with the acne i was just wondering if there was any way to get rid of it and not scares but like acne stains kinda is like red and its not leaving with any cram like i was recomended with pro active and i was wondering if there are any better acne creans or treatment that u would recomend
Hello Dr.M, I have a severe case or acne on my back, chest, and face which has caused a lot of scarring . I just wanted to know, what your views of vitamin b5? I am trying it right now and it doesn't seem to help. If you don't mind. Maybe you could give me a list of foods for a daily diet which may help detoxify myself.
ive had acne since high school, it started when i was about 14 i am now 18 it has calmed down alot but still hasnt gone completely there are new zits every day, id just like to ask you a few questions
why is the acne always on my face? specificly more mouth and nose
and what type of food and drink do you suggest eating?
inflammation can be improved by avoiding caffeines and starches and sugars. also taking omega 3 oils are anti inflammatory usually lacking in most of our diets.
its funny that i didnt get any acne at all when i was going through puberty and such. Now that im 22 im starting to break out more often then when i was 13-15
isnt it? your liver can get more overloaded with time...fungal overgrowth more advanced with all the antibiotics fed to our food supply...inflammatory factors getting more advanced due to improper dietary issues, etc.
I heard from my doctor that long hair can cause acne. She said that hair sometimes has fat or grease in it and it rubs on your skin causing acne. I'm not really buying this but is it true ?
is the acne just where your hair touches your face? I believe it can be true due to irritation from some hair products causing inflammation of the pores. If not in the area your hair touches, i probably would not agree either.
@DrJamesMartin Hello Dr.James i have a question for you; I have not to bad acne but i am tired of it because im onot as confedent with the acne i was just wondering if there was any way to get rid of it and not scares but like acne stains kinda is like red and its
not leaving with any cram like i was recomended with pro active and i was wondering if there are any better acne creans or treatment that u would recomend
Thanks, this video really helped me. Now i'll try to concentrate more on what I eat then scrubbing my face. Although, washing it a few times a day wouldn't hurt :P
hi Dr and thank u for your videos! It has been couple of years that i have mild acne and it's really bothering me, i just wanted to know what the side effects of these supplements are or in other words how can i make sure these are safe for me? it's almost impossible to have the eating habit you recommend of not eating dairy, starches, and sugars forever.. so does this mean I have to take these supplement forever? thank you for sharing your experience :)
hi...i got acne for 2, 3 years and I am 16 years old now...i guess my problem is constipation....when i was a little boy and i needed to go to bathroom i hold didn't wanted to go....before i had acne i was using the bathroom once every 3 weeks or 1 month...and now i am using the bathroom once every 4 days....i guess thats my problem for acne
Dr. M, Hello Sir I have a Really Bad Case of Acne pretty much all around my whole Body including my Back,Chest and my Armpits but pretty much Nothing on my Face. I have been to 2-3 Dermatolgist and Med Doctors and all they give me are Horse Pills of Antibiotics that I would take for 6 Months with NO RESULTS! Any Ideas that I could to ease the Pain? My Armpits are the Worst there are Days when I cant even move my Arms up and down due the Pain from so many at 1 time.
that was the same answer medical doctors gave me...changing my diet and using a few natural supplements to return my internal biochemistry back to a more normal state was the answer.
my facial acne began to improve after i began to eat healthy, no coke, nothing junky and oily etc, but umm.. my chest acne, its improved, but i still get acne, one or two, and if im lucky none per day...
what do you suggest i do? do you think i may see results if i continue to eat healthy?
As for the eating habit you also recommended of not taking any dairy, starches, or sugars; I just wanted to say it is almost impossible to do that in long term! So, my question was that does this mean that I have to take the supplements forever? (which I think Ill be ok with if I get totally acne free :) ! And are there any long term side effects? I mean how do I know these pills are safe for me? Thank you so much for sharing your experience and hope I can get rid of my acne too.
Hi Dr. Martin and thank you for your videos I got really excited to have possibly found a real solution to my acne! I have been dealing with mild acne on my face and back since I was 13 and it has been couple years that Ive tried many acne products though as you said they only treated the symptoms if I was even lucky (maybe they even got worse because of all the chemicals). So as of now I have so many scars and blemishes left that have made my face even worse. Continued..
i'm 32 yrs old, my body acne get started when i was 12yrs old. the problem still continue until now. i have done a lot afford to cure that but nothing much changed n keep repeated.

great video man heaps of information im just curious here.. For about 7 years ive had the same diet usually a fair bit of sugar however recently (2 months ago) i started gettting jawline acne I was wtf? It couldnt be my diet because its been the same before I started breaking out, I dont smoke, I rarely drink, so really wondering what the cause is? not sure if its a spike in hormones either because ive been a horny bastard for years lol any help or tips you could give would be much appreciated!
i have some problems with digestion...i go to bath once a month and thats a big problem....i only have a few acne on my face and if i solve the digestion problem i hope that my face would clean up:D
Im 21, i've had acne since i was 11 and its only gotten worse since i've had my daughter who is a year now but still breastfeeding (like twice a day we are weening) Do you think the hormones are causing me to still breakout? You mentioned the liver in this video, do you think a multivitamin is enough to help that? i have tried EVERYTHING i was on antibiotics which really did nothing but make me sick and rentin A which dries out my skin HORRIBLY. I hate being embarrassed about my skin :(
quick question i take showers and sometimes wash my face. I also eat my vitiamins im 13 i dont know if its puberty or what its not to bad but it gets bad once in a blue moon. Tips anyone thanks
Obviously, I need to eat healthier and workout more...but do you think it could possibly be my thyroid? I have multiple symptoms aimed toward hypothyroidism. Just looking for suggestions. :-) Thanks for your info!
I had the acne when I was skinny, a healthy runner - and now I am overweight (3 children later) and noticed I desire to eat healthier when I start to exercise more frequently. This helps with getting rid of my eczema but not the cystic acne on my neck. This is very frustrating. I took Acutane for a short period of time and my skin cleared for the most part. Now I still have breakouts but the worst is on my neck..
Thank you for your information. Interesting! I've suffered from acne for almost 20 years now. It started when my hormones kicked in. Can a thyroid problem cause acne? I am going to look at your website as well. I don't smoke, drink, nor do I do any drugs. I eat too much sugar and carbs.
what about milk thistle. it says it supports liver function. ive been taking about two a day and noticed no difference. thinking of moving to 4 or 6 a day. what do you think?
so over eating the wrong and under eating the right kinds of foods effect acne? i heard about the vitamins needed, but what are some of the foods they contain??
dear dr. james, ive got my first acne like 8 month come to think about 8 month ago i started smoking so ive been wondering if smoking is the probleme everytime i get rid of one pimple another comes on, and if it is the problem, you know how smoking can be addicting... how can i stop from having acne and smoking in the same time thank you.
smoking causes adrenal exhaustion which can lead to hormone imbalance and indirectly to one of the underlying health conditions that can lead to acne. Hypnosis can be effective for some to stop smoking or look up a franchise...positive changes...they specialize in helping people to stop smoking..very highly recommended for smokers who want to stop.
Hey victoriatodd, I'm a 16 year old guy. I have pretty bad acne too. I've had acne since elementary school and I know what your going through. Just stay strong and please don't consider suicide. A lot of peoples acne clear up at around age 20. I just hope someone comes up with a cure so others don't have to suffer
I truly appreciate what you are offering in your videos. I'm tired of sifting through hundreds of "remedies" and just want to the science behind acne. Please continue to make more videos!
Nothing works for me I've tried every stupid trick in the book bought every dumb product imaginable if I go to my doctor she just gives me a course of antibiotics that do nothing my acnes ruined my life I don't even go out with my friends anymore I'm so upset about it that i cry almost every night I'm 15 years old I've had it for a year now even thought of suicide because I can't think pf a way to live with it please don't mock me.. My family tells me it's no big deal because it's just my skin
Doctor... What do u suggest would be a good pill or vitamin I could take ( something I could buy at a rite aid ) to clear up my acne and regulate detox? I've had acne for a good 3 years and I'm tired of it... Thanks for the great vid
I have read of evidence from those that claim it gets worse if you do that too often. Balanced hormones are a key to not having acne. Anything that causes imbalance with hormones can contribute to acne.
i have a serious question? my medcinde doxycycline im on 200mg a day of it and it says do not take 2 hours before or after the consumption of some of the essential things for your liver that you said(maggnisium,zinc,iron,calcium) why a i taking a medicine that says i shouldnt take these things 2 hours before or aftertaking this thisif these things are essential for my liver to function
great question..most doctors prescribe drugs for health problems. This is not going to help the underlying health imbalances you may have, it will only treat symptoms...
this is a very helpful info. But I want to know why do you start getting acne when you become a teen? I'm 15 now and I have minor acne. But I had it for a while xD
very informed doctor, good to see one left:) also, what about Milk thistle. I have used this for years now, great for the liver cleaning; carrots also help my body flush it self out. again thanks.
thanks for your comments. milk thistle is great for thinning the bile to help mechanical detoxification but has none of the nutrients needed for stage 1 or stage 2 of liver chemical detoxification.
My skin cleared up tremendously from acne breakouts because I made the sacrifice to give up caffeine, alcohol, dairy, starchy foods and sugary foods. I have been breakout free for about 12 days now. Sure, I lost a few pounds, but that is because my body is not consuming mass quantities of bread, rice, and pasta. Dr. Martin KNOWS what he is talking about. I am taking his supplements now to help alleviate my acne scars. In my opinion, dairy is the absolute worst for acne sufferers.
Thanks for your comments and it is always a pleasure to hear a fellow acne sufferer has discovered what took me 11 years to figure out. Glad to hear you havent had a breakout in nearly 2 weeks. You will be able to eat a few more "fun" foods after using the supplements i recommend, so you can put a little weight back on if desired. If you want to lose a little weight and your acne at the same time..i guess youre in for a treat.
Yes, your liver may be part of the cause. Back up of toxins can be excreted through the skin. Also, your liver conjugates (processes) your hormones to detoxify your blood stream. Studies show IGF-1 hormone (insulin reactions to sugar) to be a contributor to acne.
Yes. alcohol itself can stress the liver and the glycemic (sugar content) load can cause increased insulin response and IGF-1 hormones which have been proven to affect acne.
Most of the Doctors I've been to see about my acne haven't actually had it themselves. I'd listen to this dude on the basis that he's had acne and now it's gone, therefor he's a great inspertation. Who cares what his job is?
I've been doing what I've said eat what's good nd healthy and I stopped eating at fast food places and I eat poultry,fish,fruits,vegetables....and now for some miraculous reason my acne whent away....thanks doc ....or whatever u r but it works! Thanks a lot and god bless ^_^
Glad to see my 9 years of schooling and 11 years of trial and error with my own acne problem is helping you clear up your skin :0) It's pretty obvious to most, I am an alternative health doctor. Not really a secret...Cheers to your new clear skin.
i thought the prime cause of acne was over oil production? the way i see it is excess oil + bacteria + blocked pore = acne. so what is your liver filtering from your body that causes acne?
the real question is...what causes excess oil production and inflames the pore...its not as simple as traditional medical explanation would have you think. One major contributor is dairy as shown by my personal experience and a 1999 Harvard involved study showing exactly that...dairy = acne problem. Dairy is one underlying cause. Hope that helps.
dr i jus wanna thanku for makin this video. im an Lpn and was thinkin that it cld b my liver. and the fact that i dont drink water until im really thirsty. i drink coffee and soft drinks. a mixture of fast food and some healthy foods like salmon and tilapia. i take vitamins off and on. my acne is mild to moderate but it really affects my esteem. and i do realize that some people hav beautiful skin and eat bad and all kinda stuff. but were all individuals and u hav to find out what your body want
effective for some but with side effects. .. depression, blurred vision,sleep problems, one sided body numbness, hearing loss, seizures, rectal bleeding, vomiting, purple spots under the skin, bone pain, bone fracture....nothing i want to experience.
wow. just got done with the audio of your 5 step acnce treatment. i have to say it completly changes my perspective on acne. thanks im gunna try your 5 steps and hopefully your right.
I do...but before you try to buy the couple products I take myself and recommend to solve this problem you will want to receive the FREE ACNE TREATMENT VIDEO I will be posting soon...I will be teaching acne sufferers ALL aspects to the serious underlying overlooked INTERNAL health problems first and then..the knowledge and power to rid yourself of acne forever and NOT just treating the outside symptom with cleansers. IT'S COMING SOON.Keep your eyes peeled! It will change your life..and your skin
ur awesome doc! I went to a couple of dermatologist and they told me food has nothing to do with my acne and I'm not satisfied with their reply and ofcourse tried their prescription and seems not working. Now u gave me hope and know how to handle it. thanks! o BTW doc all of the nutrients ur saying can find in one vitamin right? called centrum? and also can I still take a vitamin while taking other medication like isoniazid?
yes..there are single vitamins that have ALL the nutrients that are needed...Usually pharmaceutical grade from doctors offices. Centrum and most one a days are very unabsorbable and dont have all the things I talked about on the list. They need to be cold processed nutrients with synergistic and complementary ingredients with proper proportions for effectiveness. Not really going to find this in a store...Most natural doctors carry these potent types of nutrient formulas.
Is this legit? Or will I be spammed into my grave and robbed of all my money?

Do you have any tips to reduce the swelling of Zits?
Specifically those really painful, red bumps.
I'd wake up with one of those every week, and I try to swell it down with ice.
I even apply10% benzoyl peroxide, sometimes 2% Erythromycin..
But they're still there -_-...
Thank you for the tips!

inflammation can be improved by avoiding caffeines and starches and sugars. also taking omega 3 oils are anti inflammatory usually lacking in most of our diets.

its funny that i didnt get any acne at all when i was going through puberty and such. Now that im 22 im starting to break out more often then when i was 13-15

isnt it? your liver can get more overloaded with time...fungal overgrowth more advanced with all the antibiotics fed to our food supply...inflammatory factors getting more advanced due to improper dietary issues, etc.

Dr. James,
I heard from my doctor that long hair can cause acne. She said that hair sometimes has fat or grease in it and it rubs on your skin causing acne. I'm not really buying this but is it true ?
SagatProductions 2 years ago
is the acne just where your hair touches your face? I believe it can be true due to irritation from some hair products causing inflammation of the pores. If not in the area your hair touches, i probably would not agree either.

hi Dr and thank u for your videos! It has been couple of years that i have mild acne and it's really bothering me, i just wanted to know what the side effects of these supplements are or in other words how can i make sure these are safe for me? it's almost impossible to have the eating habit you recommend of not eating dairy, starches, and sugars forever.. so does this mean I have to take these supplement forever? thank you for sharing your experience :)

Dr. M, Hello Sir I have a Really Bad Case of Acne pretty much all around my whole Body including my Back,Chest and my Armpits but pretty much Nothing on my Face. I have been to 2-3 Dermatolgist and Med Doctors and all they give me are Horse Pills of Antibiotics that I would take for 6 Months with NO RESULTS! Any Ideas that I could to ease the Pain? My Armpits are the Worst there are Days when I cant even move my Arms up and down due the Pain from so many at 1 time.

As for the eating habit you also recommended of not taking any dairy, starches, or sugars; I just wanted to say it is almost impossible to do that in long term! So, my question was that does this mean that I have to take the supplements forever? (which I think Ill be ok with if I get totally acne free :) ! And are there any long term side effects? I mean how do I know these pills are safe for me? Thank you so much for sharing your experience and hope I can get rid of my acne too.

Hi Dr. Martin and thank you for your videos I got really excited to have possibly found a real solution to my acne! I have been dealing with mild acne on my face and back since I was 13 and it has been couple years that Ive tried many acne products though as you said they only treated the symptoms if I was even lucky (maybe they even got worse because of all the chemicals). So as of now I have so many scars and blemishes left that have made my face even worse. Continued..

I had the acne when I was skinny, a healthy runner - and now I am overweight (3 children later) and noticed I desire to eat healthier when I start to exercise more frequently. This helps with getting rid of my eczema but not the cystic acne on my neck. This is very frustrating. I took Acutane for a short period of time and my skin cleared for the most part. Now I still have breakouts but the worst is on my neck..

Thank you for your information. Interesting! I've suffered from acne for almost 20 years now. It started when my hormones kicked in. Can a thyroid problem cause acne? I am going to look at your website as well. I don't smoke, drink, nor do I do any drugs. I eat too much sugar and carbs.

zuhair911ka 2 years ago
smoking causes adrenal exhaustion which can lead to hormone imbalance and indirectly to one of the underlying health conditions that can lead to acne. Hypnosis can be effective for some to stop smoking or look up a franchise...positive changes...they specialize in helping people to stop smoking..very highly recommended for smokers who want to stop.

My skin cleared up tremendously from acne breakouts because I made the sacrifice to give up caffeine, alcohol, dairy, starchy foods and sugary foods. I have been breakout free for about 12 days now. Sure, I lost a few pounds, but that is because my body is not consuming mass quantities of bread, rice, and pasta. Dr. Martin KNOWS what he is talking about. I am taking his supplements now to help alleviate my acne scars. In my opinion, dairy is the absolute worst for acne sufferers.
Hitman4h 2 years ago 4
Hitman4h,
Thanks for your comments and it is always a pleasure to hear a fellow acne sufferer has discovered what took me 11 years to figure out. Glad to hear you havent had a breakout in nearly 2 weeks. You will be able to eat a few more "fun" foods after using the supplements i recommend, so you can put a little weight back on if desired. If you want to lose a little weight and your acne at the same time..i guess youre in for a treat.

So you're saying live might be or is the cause of acne?
ElysiaLovesCakes 2 years ago
Yes, your liver may be part of the cause. Back up of toxins can be excreted through the skin. Also, your liver conjugates (processes) your hormones to detoxify your blood stream. Studies show IGF-1 hormone (insulin reactions to sugar) to be a contributor to acne.
Dr. M
DrJamesMartin 2 years ago
what do you recommend for back acne. also recovering from acne scars on the back.
ElysiaLovesCakes 2 years ago
So if u drink Alchohol does that effect your acne then? through my analysis it gives me a few more pimples but im not really sure
deons93 2 years ago
Yes. alcohol itself can stress the liver and the glycemic (sugar content) load can cause increased insulin response and IGF-1 hormones which have been proven to affect acne.

i thought the prime cause of acne was over oil production? the way i see it is excess oil + bacteria + blocked pore = acne. so what is your liver filtering from your body that causes acne?
OzzieBo 2 years ago
the real question is...what causes excess oil production and inflames the pore...its not as simple as traditional medical explanation would have you think. One major contributor is dairy as shown by my personal experience and a 1999 Harvard involved study showing exactly that...dairy = acne problem. Dairy is one underlying cause. Hope that helps.

pcahilog 2 years ago 3
yes..there are single vitamins that have ALL the nutrients that are needed...Usually pharmaceutical grade from doctors offices. Centrum and most one a days are very unabsorbable and dont have all the things I talked about on the list. They need to be cold processed nutrients with synergistic and complementary ingredients with proper proportions for effectiveness. Not really going to find this in a store...Most natural doctors carry these potent types of nutrient formulas.
