What is the Best Treatment for Acne?
What is the best treatment for acne? Well that is a pretty simple question but not a very easy question to answer. The reason why we say this is because what might be the best treatment for acne for one person may not work at all for the next person.
Many people who suffer from acne fail to realize that the human body has its own chemistry. Each individuals body is unique and therefore the physiology, although basically the same, does have certain chemical differences. Once person may have a more acidic based system where as another person my have more of an alkaline chemistry. Why do you think no two humans smell alike?
Because of this difference in basic body chemistry it would be almost impossible to say what is the best treatment for acne? However, if you look at the question in terms of basic human health and basic human toxicity levels it is our firm belief that the best treatment for acne would be an all natural treatment.
Think about it. Most of the treatments for acne that are out there right now were created by pharmaceutical companies using chemicals to treat acne. What is interesting to me is the fact that most of the time the chemicals are cheaper to produce than an all natural remedy and there for there is more of a profit margin available to the pharmaceutical companies when they use a cheaper to produce chemical.
What the pharmaceutical companies won't tell you is what the negative consequences of using the chemicals might be. When is the last time any of you who suffer from acne took the time to research the Material Safety Data Sheet on the chemical that are found in your acne treatment?
Well I took the liberty of investigating the two most popular chemicals used in the production of acne today. Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but I do not think there is any way shape or form that these chemicals should ever be considered the best treatment for acne that is available.
Chemicals are caustic in nature and by simply reading the contents label of the acne treatment product you should be able to decipher whether or not it would be a good idea to use or not to use that particular acne treatment product.
Just take a look at this: One of the more common chemicals used in so called "acne treatment products" is Sodium pyrithione. But check out the following information that I found about its toxicity to humans:
Toxicity to humans, including carcinogenicity, reproductive and developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity, and acute toxicity.
Or what about the most popular and most widely used acne treatment product; benzyl peroxide also spelled as benzoyl peroxide:
Benzoyl peroxide is highly flammable, explosive, toxic and a possible tumor promoter and may act as a mutagen, and should be handled with care.
Now granted, they take great pains to minimize this by mixing the chemicals but it still does not alleviate or remove the risks. So again I ask you; why would you put this on your face? Should these caustic chemicals really be considered as your best treatment for acne?
I don't mean to scare you only inform you. The most dangerous person in the world today is an informed consumer. I want you to be dangerous but more importantly I want you to be healthy and acne free.
Get informed. Get the information and then when you have all the facts make your own informed decision as to what the best treatment for acne for you is. Remember doctors are trusted professionals who are there to advise you. Stop taking there word as gospel and question there motives and there recommendations. They are after all only human.
As I said, I still firmly believe that the best treatment for acne is an all natural treatment. During my research I did find a very effective all natural method that I myself have used. I am happy to report that I am now acne free. Considering that this all natural process and treatment works and the fact that it is all natural, you now know why I consider it to be the best treatment for acne available today.
