The natural diet acne cure that will enable you to become
acne free for life!
If you have ever dreamed of being acne free and are looking for a scientifically-based natural acne cure that really works, you have now found the answer. Do you suffer from acne that won't clear up - regardless of the doctor you have been to or treatment you have tried? Are you tired of looking in the mirror and only seeing inflamed, infected, blemished skin? Would you like to know what foods cause acne? Dr. Loren Cordain has published a new book that debunks the 20th century myth that there is no relationship between diet and acne. Imagine for a second, how your life would be different, if only changes to your diet were necessary for acne free skin...
Please note the many testimonials, distinguished referrals, and success stories further down this page (in the blue and yellow boxes). |
A scientifically documented program that
will make you acne free.
With 174 scientific references, The Dietary Cure for Acne thoroughly documents and then clearly explains the ultimate causes of acne. Written by internationally recognized researcher Loren Cordain, Ph.D., this is the only scientifically documented program that directly addresses all four known causes of acne ... and the only program shown to clear acne blemishes in a human clinical trial.
If you suffer from acne you’re probably tired of all the hype – the creams, lotions, and scrubs that only provide minor improvement ... the expensive prescription drugs with their side effects and only marginally better results ... and the books by so-called “experts” that make big promises but have little science to back them up.
This acne diet book will help
you understand the scientific basis of why diet matters in
keeping your skin acne free. It provides a simple plan, that when
implemented, gets results quickly. This very specific diet is the ultimate and natural acne cure.

If you’re like most people,
you’ve probably tried many remedies to rid yourself of acne.
Perhaps you’ve spent a small fortune on creams, ointments,
and scrubs, with only modest results. If you’ve gone to a
dermatologist, you may have been prescribed antibiotics, birth
control pills, Accutane, or other expensive drugs with various
side effects.
If you have thought that diet may be related to acne, maybe
you’ve tried vegan diets, raw food diets, or maybe you’ve
tried to avoid chocolate or fried foods – all to little
or no avail. You may have even read books whose authors claimed
their diet could cure your acne by removing the so-called
“impurities” responsible for acne ... or through
other vague, mysterious and non-scientific mechanisms.
The reason that none of these remedies cured your acne is
simply because none of these remedies addressed the fundamental
causes of acne.
So are you doomed to have acne forever? Not at all! But you
can certainly give up the cost and inconvenience of prescription
drugs, and the hype and the junk-science that permeates most
discussions of natural acne cures.

The Science Behind Acne Free Skin |
For nearly
50 years scientists have understood the following four immediate
causes of acne:
- The pores become blocked by skin cells that stick together.
- Glands in the skin produce excessive oil.
- Bacteria colonize and infect the oil filled, blocked pore.
- The oil filled, blocked pore and surrounding tissue become inflamed.
However, until now the reason behind these
immediate causes of acne was not well understood. Most people
grow up thinking that “acne just happens”, and
that other than expensive and mostly ineffective treatments,
nothing can be done to prevent it.
But in fact, we now know that diet directly affects all four
of the immediate causes of acne.
For instance, there is an enzyme called ZAG that normally dissolves the proteins holding together skin cells lining the pore, so that they can flake away and not block the pore. But there is exciting new evidence showing that components of certain foods enter the bloodstream and inhibit ZAG, thus causing the skin cells lining the pore to stick together and thereby block the pore.
In The
Dietary Cure for Acne, Dr. Cordain explains the causes of acne, and its connection to diet. You’ll learn how pore blockage also results from excess blood concentrations of a hormone called IGF-1, and insufficiencies of another hormone called IGFBP-3, and how the food you eat influences both of these hormones. You’ll learn how excess oil production is caused by certain foods, and you’ll learn how the inflammation of acne can be rapidly calmed by eating the right anti-acne diet. And much more.

"I have
seen massive improvements..."
Dear Dr. Cordain,
I am writing to you regarding your article on acne vulgaris
which was published in the Archives of Dermatology in
December, 2002. As a sufferer of acne myself at the
age of 29, I was wondering about the cause of acne.
Since your article was published, I have gone on the
diet and I have seen massive improvement! In fact, I
only got a spot in the last three months!

Scientific research by Dr. Cordain and his colleagues has established a new understanding of how diet influences the hormonal, cellular and molecular underpinnings of acne. The Dietary Cure for Acne works by preventing the four immediate causes of acne, and will quickly result in great improvements or complete remission of your acne. There is a natural diet acne cure.

"Acne is not
an antibiotic deficiency, but the result of our diet
of refined and imbalanced foods. Dr. Cordain has brilliantly
amassed the evidence and the solution here, making this
must reading for all those with this very treatable
condition."

Who is Dr. Loren Cordain,
and Why You
Should Listen to Him |
|
Featured on Dateline NBC, the front page of the Wall Street journal, and the New York Times, Loren Cordain is also the author of more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles and abstracts. His research has appeared in the world’s top nutrition journals including the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the British Journal of Nutrition, and the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. His recent work has focused upon the effects of diet and skin health.
Dr. Cordain has published a series of three scientific publications outlining the central role diet plays in causing acne. The first of these papers was a ground-breaking article entitled “Acne Vulgaris: A Disease of Western Civilization”, which appeared in the prestigious medical journal, The Archives of Dermatology in 2002.
This article was followed by“Hyperinsulinemic Diseases of Civilization: More than Just Syndrome X”. In May of 2004 the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) recognized this paper as the most significant international medical publication of the year.
His most recent peer-reviewed scientific paper about acne, “Implications for the Role of Diet in Acne” outlines the underlying mechanisms of how diet causes acne.
Dr. Cordain has spoken extensively on the topic of diet and acne. He is invited to lecture regularly, a list which includes a talk at the largest, most prestigious Dermatology Organization in the United States, The Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) and its equivalent in Europe, The European Society of Dermatology and Venerology (EADV).
The evidence and methods presented in this book are not based upon hearsay, anecdote, or groundless speculations. Instead they are based upon an exhaustive study of the scientific literature, an understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in acne, and an actual scientific trial with acne patients. With The Dietary Cure for Acne you will discover the true cause of acne, clearly explained, with a solution that can be implemented immediately and that begins to get results in a matter of days. Now you can become acne free with a natural acne cure.

“After
about a week, almost all my old zits were gone and
no new ones took their place…”
I just wanted to take a couple minutes to thank you
for information that has cured my 16 year struggle
with acne. Since I was 11, I have had a moderate case
of acne. It never was severe, but it has been very
stubborn. I tried everything short of Accutaine—several
years of Retin-A, antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide, birth
control, and every cream wash and mask available at
the drugstore. I had the highest hopes for everything.
I used Retin-A for about 4 years, thinking that one
day it would magically kick in. Nothing ever worked.
I was never without at least one major zit on my face,
and I usually had several pretty obvious zits and
lots of blackheads. Not fun, and definitely not psychologically
helpful.
I then started doing research on the Internet about the problem. I discovered your website and started reading the articles on it. I’ve always been a big carb fanatic—cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was not uncommon.
I decided to give the diet a try. I noticed that by the very next day, something felt different. I had no new eruptions. The ones I had started to shrink. After about a week, almost all my old zits were gone and no new ones took their place. I went on and off the diet several times until my experiments proved overwhelming. I now have been on the diet for awhile and have absolutely no breakouts on my face. And unlike the terrible side effects from my acne drugs (stomach problems, dry, itchy face); I have only the positive side effects of more energy, a clearer head, and a smile that I just can’t shake. Plus the uncontrollable urge to go up to people at the grocery store and lecture them (but I’m too shy for that). The other thing I have noticed is that the growth of my little coarse chin hairs has slowed considerable. Maybe I’ll get to stop tweezing them soon.
An interesting thing happened last week at a conference.
All of our food was already prepared and paid for,
so I did cheat a bit. I didn’t eat many carbs
during the day, but at night I had quite a bit to
drink (far too much, actually). The next morning my
chin, where I have a tendency for breakouts, was swollen
terribly with a boil, and I had 2 other zits on my
face. My lymph nodes were also swollen. But after
I got back on track, the boil is now completely gone
with almost no mark.
So again, I want to thank you. My whole attitude
has changed, and I almost feel like a different person.
Acne was very psychologically damaging to me, and
the turnaround has helped so much more than just my
skin. I just somehow wish all the money I threw down
the garbage on the various acne treatments could have
somehow gone to you instead!
Thank you,
Michelle

The
Myth – That Diet Doesn’t Cause & Can't Cure Acne |
For years the dogma within
the medical community has been that diet had nothing to do
with acne. Many people, including most physicians, believe
that acne is primarily a genetic disease, and that nothing
can be done to prevent it. So your only remaining strategy
has been to treat acne’s symptoms by washing your face
often, applying creams, or by taking antibiotics or other
prescription drugs. And eat whatever you like, because it
had always been assumed that diet had nothing to do with acne.
Who has ever heard of an "Anti Acne Diet"?
On pages 9 and 10, you'll learn how this myth is based upon just two dated studies
that examined the connection between acne and diet. One was
published in 1969, and the other in 1971. As you’ll
learn about in the book, both studies were seriously flawed
and came to incorrect conclusions.
We now know that diet in fact, does cause acne. A recent clinical trial has shown how certain
foods negatively influence the hormones that directly underline
acne. Yes, an anti acne diet will make you acne free. |

“My
face is amazingly clear…”
I wrote you an email about a year ago (I don’t
expect you to remember) about your published article
on the diet-acne connection. You encouraged me to try
your diet to control my acne. I’ve been eating
the way you’ve outlined in your book and my face
is amazingly clear. My only breakouts occur after a
dietary slip-up. I’ve turned several other acne
sufferers onto this way of eating and they’ve
all seen drastic improvements. We really appreciate
your work and the fact that research goes “against
the grain” of what dermatologists and others would
ever say.
Thanks so much!

The Kitavan
Islanders and the Ache Hunter Gatherers - No acne… |
In the U.S., between
79-95% of all teenagers between 16 and 18 years of age
have acne. Acne is present in children as young as 4
and about half of young men and women over age 25 experience
some form of acne.
Despite the nearly universal presence of acne in westernized
countries like the U.S., there is intriguing evidence
from frontier physicians, explorers and anthropologists
that the prevalence of acne is incredibly lower in native people when living and eating in their
traditional ways. These observations had not been formalized
in the medical literature until 2002 when Dr. Cordain
and his colleagues published a landmark study in The
Archives of Dermatology. In this study, they
examined a group of people living on the remote Kitavan
Islands off the coast of Papua New Guinea. Out of the
300 young people examined on the Kitavan Islands, there
was not a single pimple to be found.
In the second part of the study, they examined a group
of South American Indians called the Ache, living in
a remote jungle in eastern Paraguay. Over a two year
period with these people, not a single case of acne
was observed by Dr. Cordain’s research team.
These acne free people certainly didn’t have access to the latest acne creams and cosmetics, and you’d be very hard-pressed to find a dermatologist anywhere within hundreds of miles. Yet
there are certain characteristics of their diet that
are vastly different from that of the average American,
European, or Australian citizen, and that are now known
to prevent acne.

Skin
healing after 12 years of acne…
I saw that you were developing your studies in the acne link and thought I would share my story with you: I guess it began when I was about 12, my family had a history of bad skin, my brother did a course of Accutane, my sister did antibiotics (which my younger brother is now on). I did not want to take this part so I searched for alternatives, mainly through diet. I did the vegetarian thing, then went vegan, then went 95% Raw for a year (in which my skin was actually at its worst!) I thought these diets where the way to heal my skin. After 12 years of this I read your book and then adopted your diet. My skin was better from day one, it was clearer and I could see it starting to heal! I have had almost no breakouts during the past month.
Kindest regards,
Kristi

Human
Clinical Trial shows Acne Free Results |
Does the absence of acne
in remote societies prove that diet causes acne? Does it mean
that you must eat strange exotic foods only available in remote
jungles or faraway islands to cure your acne?
No, neither of these suggestions is true. But by examining
the special characteristics of non-westernized diets, and
by using common supermarket foods, researchers from Australia
were able to mimic certain dietary conditions that enable
the Kitavan and Ache people to go through life without ever
experiencing acne.
In 2003 a two year study of 43 acne patients was started at
the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia.
The diet used to treat the patients was based upon the dietary
characteristics that Dr. Cordain had suggested were responsible
for the clear skin in the Kitavan and Ache people. The results
of the study were reported in 2005 at a meeting of the Nutrition
Society of Australia. This experiment
was the first human clinical trial to show that diet did indeed
cause acne, and that diet could also be used to improve acne
symptoms.
Though it will be years before science works out all of the
dietary mechanisms underlying acne, the dots have been connected
and the connection between diet and acne is now a reality.
The good news is that you don’t have to wait until every
last detail is discovered - you can
begin to clear up your acne today. |

“At last, a groundbreaking scientific solution for acne! Where traditional acne remedies focus on what to put on your face, Dr. Cordain shows us it's much more important to focus on what you put in your mouth. The Dietary Cure for Acne dispels the oft-repeated myth that diet plays no role in acne. In fact, this fascinating book proves that eating the wrong foods is the major cause of acne. We love this book and give it our highest recommendation.”

How
the Dietary Cure for Acne Works |
|
In chapter four you'll learn how The Dietary Cure for Acne heals your skin from the inside by preventing all four known causes of acne. You’ll learn how the foods you eat affect hormones called IGFBP-3 and IGF-1, and how that affects pore blockage. You’ll learn how the type of fat you eat can affect bacteria proliferation in your skin. And you’ll understand how an enzyme called ZAG, that normally works to help keep pores open, is inactivated when you eat certain common foods.
Chapter six reveals the 11 types of food to avoid, along with a clear explanation of how that particular food promotes acne. The rest of the chapter provides a specific action plan. The diet is divided into two distinct phases. In Phase 1, which lasts 30 days, you’ll be attacking the causes of acne with every nutritional tool that can improve acne symptoms. By closely following the diet, your acne will rapidly improve. Phase 2 covers the next 3 months and beyond.
Chapter seven is titled The Good Foods, has a sample menu and complete information on all the food that you will be eating on this program.
After reading The Dietary Cure for Acne, you’ll understand how the right foods can prevent the pore blockage, excess oil production, inflammation, and bacterial infection that characterize acne. But most importantly, you’ll learn specifically which foods to eat, and which foods to avoid, so you can take action and get results.
Because it takes about 30 days for your skin cells to completely turnover, by following this diet you can expect to experience impressive results in only a month. In fact, by closely adhering to the diet you will begin to see positive changes within a week.
After 30 days you will experience great improvement or complete remission of your acne. At this point you may begin adding back certain foods to see how they affect your acne symptoms.
If your skin has been scarred by acne, there is no dietary treatment in the world that will get rid of this scarring. But you can stop this disease now, and eliminate new blemishes so that no future damage will occur. Imagine 30 days from today, looking in the mirror at blemish-free clear skin, knowing that you’ve got your acne problem licked - for good! |

“My
skin has improved enormously…”
Dear Professor Cordain,
I was very interested to read your article. I am now
52 years old – I had acne in my teens and have
had ‘spots’ on and off ever since! I was
eagerly awaiting the time when I would be too old for
spots and too young for grey hair! – I have only
succeeded in having a few grey hairs! Since July, I
have simply cut out (certain foods). Apart from losing
five inches round my hips, my skin has improved enormously
– what a bonus!
Regards,
Penny London

I just thought I’d let you know. After reading
your paper on acne and diet, specifically the affect
modern diet has on insulin leading to acne… I
have been strictly following your diet for more than
a month now. I not only feel so much better, but after
10 years of hell my skin has stopped producing the excess
oil it use to produce. This is a god-send. I can’t
tell you the relief this has brought to me.
Thanks for writing the book.
We have many more testimonials of acne free clients. Join them, and be another testimonial for our acne cure!
