Pimples are a common part of everyday life for teenagers and adults, men and women, alike. However, while for many, the occasional pimple is just a small irritation, for some, acne is a real problem. Acne refers to excessive pimples. Though it is often seen as a problem most associated with teenagers, acne effects a variety of different populations for different reasons. Acne can be unsightly and even painful, and a whole host of myths surround this common, but troublesome skin issue. The Smart & Easy Guide to Acne Treatments provides a well rounded explanation of what acne is and what causes it. The guide also seeks to dispel many of the common myths surrounding this common skin condition. Finally, it provides a brief overview on the different types of treatment options available to those who suffer from acne. Acne is a skin condition that involves the blocking of pores which leads to the proliferation of bacteria within the pore. It is at this point that the skin begins to swell and a pimple forms. Due to many of the physical and biological changes associated with puberty, acne is most commonly seen in teenagers, but can effect adults and even young children and babies. While not all the causes of acne are completely understood, the guide notes the following as the most common causes of acne: Excessive amounts of sebum Changes in testosterone levels Poor diet and health The use of certain medications Hormonal fluctuations due to menstrual cycles and pregnancy Hereditary factors The guide also notes that there are many myths that surround acne. The following are commonly believed causes of acne, that are, in fact, actually myths and completely untrue. Chocolate causes acne Sex causes acne Acne is unavoidable Poor personal hygiene completely explains acne Popping pimples is a good thing Acne only effects teens Most people think that a pimple is a pimple, but in fact, there are actually a number of different kinds of acne. The Smart & Easy Guide to Acne Treatments briefly details the differences between types of acne, how the acne presents itself and what areas of the body are most often effected by the different forms of acne. There are a huge number of different treatment options for those who suffer from acne. The guide briefly discusses the most common home remedies, natural remedies, over-the-counter topical remedies, as well as prescription-only remedies that are often used to treat acne.

As these contain active ingredients that may dry the skin out, it is recommended to try a few different brands to determine what works best for a specific skin condition. Prescription treatments for acne are generally only for those who suffer from severe acne and often include antibiotic or oral steroid treatment. The guide also goes over some of the basic options for those who suffer from scarring from earlier acne problems. There are a variety of creams, as well as things like laser treatment that have proven effective in reducing or eliminating the appearance of scarring caused by acne. Acne can also be an issue for babies and children and, as the guide notes, this must be treated in a different manner than acne in adults. The guide provides a brief overview of acne in babies and children, as well as how to safely and effectively treat it.

An investigation into the root cause of the modern acne epidemic--fluoride--and how to remove it from your diet and lifestyle for clear, healthy skin • Chronicles the existing acne research to reveal fluoride was behind the rise of teenage acne in the mid-20th century and the dramatic increase in adult acne today • Details how to avoid fluoridated foods and beverages as well as other common sources of fluoride, such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and household products • Explains how to displace fluoride stored in your bones and other tissues through nutrition and the careful use of iodine According to a recent study, over 20 percent of men and 35 percent of women experience acne after the age of 30. At the same time, remote indigenous societies--such as the Inuit before they “moved to town” in the 1960s--experience no acne at all, even among their teenagers. Many things have been cited as causing acne, from sugar, chocolate, or pizza to dirty pillowcases, hormones, or genetics, but none of these “causes” have been able to explain the majority of acne cases, nor why chronic acne is on the rise. Using her FBI intelligence analyst skills, Melissa Gallico identifies fluoride as the root cause of the modern acne epidemic. Chronicling the existing acne research, she reveals where each study went wrong and what they missed. She shares her personal 20-year struggle with severe cystic acne not only on her face, but on her neck, chest, back, and even inside her ears. She explains how her travels around the world and her intelligence work helped her pinpoint exactly what was causing her treatment-resistant flare-ups--fluoridated water, foods, dental products, and the systemic build-up of childhood fluoride treatments. She details how to avoid fluoridated foods and beverages and explains how sources of fluoride work their way deeply into our daily lives through water as well as fluoride-based pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and common household products. The author exposes the corrupt science used to convince people of fluoride’s health benefits and examines the systemic toxicity of fluoride, including its anti-thyroid and neurotoxin effects, how it remains in the body for years, and how it can cause the symptoms of illnesses, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and depression. She explains how to displace fluoride stored in your bones and tissues through nutrition and the careful use of iodine. Offering a guide to freeing yourself from persistent adult acne, Gallico shows that it is possible to heal your skin even when dermatologists and their prescriptions have failed.
