Is it normal to break out a lot while first going raw?

I'm broken out all the time in general but i noticed that since just starting raw i've massively broken out. I don't know if its detox or what. Is this normal and will it get better in time? I've ...

Has anyone successfully got rid of external scar tissue/acne from a raw foods diet?
do you think that taking the alpha lipoic acid will get rid of all the external scar tissue? i have the keloid scars from acne.

Vitalzym actually helped my sisters c section scar heal after she had 3 daughters delivered that way.. her husband is a doctor and when he saw the scar fading he couldnt believe it. We used to order our Vitalzym from our holistic chiro but her hus...
most likely you are breaking out as detox is taking root. Many folks break out even as they are raw for months or couple of yrs , as Chicory had mentioned. I would not panic or get mad at the diet, just stay consistent with it and it should go awa...
I was still breaking out a lot.... been raw almost 2 years now, until I cut out bananas and high sugar tropical fruits. If your acne is hormonal, as in from an imbalance, than sugar spikes will make your acne worse. Or you could be eating somethin...
Easiest, most natual enymes to use on the skin is green papaya, generally easy to get from Asian groceries. Make a face mask out of it, process it (blender or food processor, may need a little bit of water) and put it on the scars. Jan Marini have...

I'm not sure.... it is supposed to "push" scars up and out from the inside. I don't think it would hurt... it is a powerful antioxidant. It would probably take longer for keloid scars. I have also heard of this gel that helps skin repair itself, b...

i have the keloid scars from acne.
yes! I noticed a huge improvement when I was taking it, after a couple of weeks. I don't take it all the time, only after I get a scab or something on my face from the occasional break out or thorn snag...

I can't say if your scar will disappear 100% because I have never accomplished this with an external scar. I believe you can get really close to that if you really put a lot of effort into it and went at it aggressively.
I've been trying to heal ...
here are some of the things that have helped lighten my scars (topical) lemon juice by itself or mixed with fuller's earth applied as a mask for 15 minutes a day. making a paste with alpha lipoic acid (removed from capsules) mixed with aloe and ma...
By consistantly applying the enzyme mixture to the scar tissue will it eventually all disappear? Is it possible with regular application for the scar tissue to ultimately dissolve?
Also is it okay to use a pure serrapeptase enzyme or must it be s...

- Anthony Marsico gave the kind of information id give in your discussion, with emphasis on DMSO & MSM. Which you can learn about here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OELLzz6hAI&feature=PlayList&p=47530023754015AE
In terms of breaking out however, since the skin supports the liver in terms of detoxification, you may want to just make sure that all of your systems are running smoothly. You may like to make some dandilion root tea for example. Also remember to breathe fresh air(very important in detoxification), drink pure waters, exercise or dance/rebounding - get the lymph system flowing & get plenty of sun (which purifies the bad stuff on us).

My food processor burnt out and I'm considering getting the Magic Bullet as a replacement. Can it also make things like date/nut bars as well as smoothies? Do cheap blenders work well at making daily green smoothies?
