 If you haven't seen my past videos on acne, I had it so bad in high school and college I didn't want to leave the house. Once I took Accutane in my early 20s, it cleared up my skin but then gave me a slew of health issues that ultimately caused me to know everything I know now about diet and nutrition. Plus, the acne ended up coming back despite taking Accutane twice. The past videos I've done on acne are similar to how dermatologists skin doctors treat acne. They suppress it, temporarily fixing it as opposed to addressing the root cause. Unlike the videos I have been doing lately on the whiteboard where I read studies, research, this is based off of my 10 years of personal experience with acne from that dermatologist destroying my liver to the carnivore diet and now to a point where my skin is finally clear, basically eating anything I want, even McDonald's and the burger reviews I've been doing. So as we just said, modern treatments are suppressing acne, topical ointments burning your skin, oral antibiotics destroying your gut bacteria, Accutane replacing all of your liver stores with retinoic acid. The problem is entirely on the inside, your gut microbiome and your liver. So a topical acne treatment or face wash is never truly going to fix your acne and the current solutions internally just make things worse long term and there are some horror stories from Accutane, Crohn's, Colitis, people getting their intestines taken out. Modern dietary changes do help and are much closer to what the actual cause of acne is. But most people aren't educated enough to make drastic enough changes and no one really knows what an effective probiotic is. What drives me crazy about everything else is doctors don't get nutritional training in schooling and if they did, it was probably just standard American diet nonsense. This because someone is an MD or a physician should not give them any credibility whatsoever unless you enjoy them making money with big pharma off of your poor health. In order to treat the root cause of what is causing acne, you need to remove the negatives and add the positives. The negatives are toxins and imbalances in the body whereas the positives are things to help remove those toxins as well as get your body to balance. Basically, not being poisoned, however, someone like me, since I was a kid, it might take many many years to fix the problem. And I don't have a great memory because of Accutane and Benadryl and all this stuff I took when I was younger frying my brain, however, I remember specific conversations I had with that dermatologist asking him, hey, does diet matter? How come when I remove dairy, the acne goes away? And anything logical, the guy just disregarded it and said no, no, no, it's 100% genetic and just kept prescribing me stuff. Most people will have so many toxins in their water and food, the agrochemicals, herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, antibiotics, heavy metals, halogens like chlorine and chlorine, hormones specifically estrogen that is difficult to pinpoint what is causing the acne. And some of you might be wondering, well, if everyone in America is getting poisoned, how come some people have the acne and some people don't? Generally speaking, when people are breastfed, when they grew up with a healthy microbiome, they're more tolerant of these negatives. Your body is trying to detox all of that stuff. And sometimes the way it does that is the easiest access point, which might be the skin on your face as it's thinner than most parts of your body. The reason your body will detox through your skin instead of the bowel movement, sweat or urine is a combination of not being hydrated and the toxic load being excessive. Yes, it's possible that your breakout was caused by not drinking enough water. So instead of the toxins moving through, they just kind of sat in your stomach and went out through the skin as opposed to being flushed out. But it's also very likely that there is just too much poison in your body that's going out every which way it can. So everything you consume in your body for the most part is going to be processed by the liver and it can also be stored in the liver. I've heard people saying that the liver is a filter, but that doesn't make any logical sense. When people eat liver, there's vitamins, there's minerals, there's stuff stored in the liver. Your liver is the exact same. It can store stuff you're eating, including all of that negative crap. One thing to also understand is that the body has limited detox capacities. So if you have years and years and years of crap stored in your liver, it's not just going to be a matter of, oh, take this supplement, do this cleanse, do that, no. It's going to take years and years and years and years of following a proper diet to fix the issue. And it becomes really, really bad with Candida. Candida is one of the many yeasts that populate our gut microbiome. There's different strains. Yeasts and bacteria are symbiotic. They live happily together under normal circumstances. When there's an excess of toxins, Candida overgrows, essentially working as a sponge to soak up those toxins and prevent them from being reabsorbed. And some people say, oh, well, Candida is just from too much sugar in the diet. I mean, doesn't everyone know someone that only sucks down sugar and doesn't have Candida? When the toxic load becomes very, very high and Candida is persistent over taking your entire microbiome, it can branch out through the gut lining to all other parts of your body, expelling toxins through the skin. So when people have really, really, really horrendous bad acne, it's very, very fungal. And that's that component from Candida. Another example can be from something like dairy, which is very high in calcium. Some people don't tolerate calcium well for one reason or another, usually not enough magnesium. And the body starts expelling the calcium through the skin. Even raw, grass-fed dairy can give some people extreme breakouts. So just to explain that again, if you're born with a healthy gut microbiome, usually Candida is kept in check. And then some extreme circumstance where it's high levels of radiation exposure, you take an antibiotic, a poor diet for a very long period of time. There's going to be some type of catalyst that needs to disrupt your gut microbiome, typically being a toxic load, dysbiosis, same meaning as imbalanced gut bacteria. And Candida being protective against toxins means that the yeast is going to grow, hold those toxins, and hopefully be expelled in the bowel movement. If the Candida wasn't sucking up those toxins, where do you think they're going? They're going to get reabsorbed back in the stomach, which is not good. That's even worse than the Candida. Granted, you're not going to feel so good at any step along this process. So calcium is a very popular non-fungal possibility. And what I mean by that is, yeah, in bad cases of acne, Candida will typically be present. But in addition, drinking the raw dairy might be bad. If you have excess iron stored in your liver from iron fortified foods, if it's in a multivitamin, vitamin A in excess is stored in the liver. All vitamins are stored in the liver. B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin K2, liver stores many different vitamins. So if you have excesses or imbalances of certain ones, you're going to have an issue. So it gets very complicated and difficult, you know, based on your past diet, while you're eating now, trying to pin the pieces of the puzzle together and be healthy. Vegetable seed oils, especially oxidized fats, will cause acne on their own. Each of those things are technically not Candida, but usually Candida will suck up those things as well as toxins. It's just sometimes those on their own can just cause acne breakouts. In most cases, incorporating a probiotic that works will just entirely prevent acne. That's because the bacteria in the probiotic will keep the Candida in check. It will keep gut motility high. It will digest food, push the toxins out. The problem is, if you don't fix the diet and just take a probiotic, it's still kind of like the suppressing thing. We still need to address the root cause and fix it long term. However, in regards to the acne and clearing up your face, probiotic is the number one thing. The diet I've been following over the past year or so has allowed me to keep my skin incredibly clear while restoring my liver health. Most importantly, removing those negatives, using water kefir as a probiotic to keep the biome in check, and slowly adding supplements to fix past nutrient imbalances. But you really have to understand that you can take a probiotic, have completely clear skin, and the diet is separate, vice versa as well. You can be on a diet that's fixing the root cause and have terrible breakouts because you're not taking the probiotic. So checklists of things I do that keep my skin clear as of right now, hydrate with spring or mineral water in the morning and throughout the first hour or two of the day. We also did a liver detox smoothie that's very hydrating. Two, drink probiotic water kefir and consume water kefir grains with every meal to digest food, keep the candida in check. Three, keep the diet as clean as possible. Lean grass would be for protein, organic, rice, white potatoes for starch, small amount of coconut oil and certain nut fats for dessert, and maybe I'll have an apple with the meal as well for some more sugar and calories. Washing your face, brushing your teeth, keeping your pillowcase clean, things I spoke about in the past has seemed insignificant as long as I keep those first few things in check. You cannot brush your teeth for days, a week or two. You won't get cavities and you won't break out if the probiotic and the diet isn't checked. It's about what's going on inside your body, not the outside, and this goes above and beyond acne. You know, hey, if your skin is not tanning, if you're burning, if your teeth are rotting, if your eyes have problems, they're treating it on the outside as opposed to the inside. And I drew the little sun here with kind of like a recycle sign because the sun will clear up your skin and use it up, essentially. So if you need to recycle tissue quickly and push the scar tissue out, the sun tanning beds are excellent, excellent, excellent for that. And I think that's a big component that definitely fits in here because you want to be doing it. But technically speaking is a vitamin D deficiency you're going to cause. I mean, there are so many more components to this that I haven't spoken about today. I'm just talking about the most important ones. Of course, you know, if you guys go to like organ supplements.com where I have almost a dozen different mineral supplements, it becomes incredibly, incredibly complicated. You could have a selenium deficiency, it could be molybdenum, zinc, magnesium, it could be a dozen different things, but this is the very first step. And then once you have the diet in check, once you're taking a probiotic, once you're getting some sun, once your skin is cleared up, you get a hair mineral analysis. You start trying to put a few things here and there. You don't want to do everything all at once, which is what some people end up doing. FrankieSphereAgeFoods.com is listed there because I sell water key for grains. I sell water key for as a probiotic. It's, as I've said many, many times in basically all of my day of eating videos, the most important, significant thing that I've incorporated into my diet to improve my health. Because you're a living being. Your gut bacteria is living as well. If it's dead, I mean you're going to feel dead. And when your liver's really messed up and your gut's messed up, from past diets, whatever it may be, and you're able to replicate a healthy one with water key for grains, it really is the biggest game changer. Again, the things that I didn't mention, you know, Wi-Fi, EMF radiation, how much is that messing up your gut microbiome? I wear my protective clothing and pants from Wi-Fi shielding every day. If you guys watch, you know, a few dozen, 100, 200 videos on my channel, you'll have an excellent understanding of nutrition and how to apply all of this stuff. So if you guys do want kind of like a catered one-on-one approach where I can guide you through this, you can go to FrankieSphereAgeFoods.com and schedule a consultation. But as I just said, all of the information is available freely on my YouTube channel. You just have to piece it together. You can go to FrankieSphereAgeFoods.com to check out all of my businesses, including Frankie Syringe Meat, Frankie Syringe Foods, Oregon Supplements, all that stuff. But if you guys could drop a like on the video, leave me a comment down below. Subscribe so that YouTube can unsubscribe you next week and be sure to check that notification bell so they don't notify you of my videos. And guys, I could really go on and on for probably over an hour on this. It's just, I get a little discouraged when I come up with like these creative things like remove the negatives, add the positives, things that are very basic. Everything would have been said before, but then other people say them without giving me credit. So, you know how it is. Some people deserve to be lined up in front of a ditch, but maybe in the next life we'll do that.
