hey guys dr. Berg here in this video we’re going to talk about how to get rid

of acne fast okay and this is getting rid of the root cause the problem with

most people trying to get rid of their acne is they’re just treating the acne

directly and that’s treating the symptom they never get to the root cause and

they they make some mistakes choose mistakes scrubbing your face with

cleansers that’s a very bad idea why because you have all this friendly

bacteria on your skin they’re supposed to protect your skin and you basically

scrub it off so you’re sterilizing your skin and then you wonder why it comes

back or acne comes back or you have other issues so scrubbing the face

really really hard and in with cleansers is not a good idea I’m not saying don’t

clean your face but don’t start scrubbing I made the mistake of that I

had really bad acne in high school and I would scrub and trying to I think would

be some like blackhead and dirt that I described off not good it never worked

antibiotics what happens to antibiotics it will help with acne but it comes

right back even worse because you kill off the good in the back of bad bacteria

you create strains very strong resilient strains with bad bacteria that now don’t

work against antibiotics and so it’s not a long term correction accutane is a

kind of a synthetic version of vitamin A which does work but it has some slight

minor complications like nosebleeds infertility blindness I think it’s off

the market now if I’m not mistaken but these are some mistakes that people make

so what we need to do is we did the secret is to find out what’s really

causing the problem in understanding what the problem really is okay so that

has to do with understanding what the sebaceous gland is this is spaceless

gland is a gland right underneath your acne that is creating the problem so

here’s what’s happening you have like five different situations you have extra

tissue tissue being formed you know in a form of like a little flake a dryness an

extra skin nodule then you have a plug poor okay and then also can give you

whiteheads or blackheads which really has to do with this

tissue kind of plugging up that poor you have inflammation

it’s complained red painful you have unfriendly bacteria in there

that are feeding off the oil and that oil is called sebum okay that’s like the

waxy oily thing that’s supposed to lubricate the skin so you have excess

oil or see them and then you have enlarged gland okay all these things are

happening and that’s really what acne is it’s not just one thing so my whole

thing is let’s get deeper let’s see what we can do to correct the original reason

why it’s there in the first place okay well the unique thing about the

sebaceous gland is it’s very highly sensitive to hormones specifically

androgens which is like a male hormone and even estrogen both of those hormones

okay now the way that you know it’s more estrogen related usually in females and

you would notice if during your cycle or right before your cycle it gets worse

okay it might be maybe it’s even on one side of the face which means it’s if

it’s on the left side it’s on the left ovary because the ovaries repetitively

go back and forth each month and release the egg and produce more hormones so

what happens if you have it more on this side that means the left ovary is

pumping out too much estrogen okay so it could be estrogen especially which

related to your cycle or could be antigen so let’s just let’s just start

with the androgen situation antigen one form of androgen is called testosterone

men and women have testosterone men have it in more mouths larger amounts women

do still have it in certain amounts you need it but if you’re a female you don’t

need much of it but in this situation you’re pumping out too much and too much

antigen will increase the sebum the oil the size of the gland itself and extra

tissue so that’s really what it’s doing now my question is why why are you

producing too much androgen right you say well I’m going through puberty or

whatever even menopause can do it right well

there’s a couple reasons for that number one you may have a condition called PCOS

polycystic ovarian syndrome I put a link down below if you’ve never heard about

it before but that’s basically a situation where you’re female and your

ovaries are pumping out too much and androgen okay and the three big symptoms are

acne hair loss or alopecia or facial hair okay a deeper voice as well so

those are the symptoms but while we’re on this topic let’s just talk about what

causes PCOS it’s really high levels of insulin okay and it’s a condition called

insulin resistance if you look this up sometimes in the medical literature

it’ll say that PCOS is associated with insulin and then in a some associated

it’s caused by insulin because every single time you improve the insulin

situation the PCF goes away so you might want to learn more about that if you you

don’t know about insulin resistance okay and you have acne you need to read some

of the videos I’ll put a list them down below because it’s probably one of the

most important things that you can understand about because it’s so simple

to fix this thing if you know what it is and what to do and then you can actually

kill two birds one stone handle the PCOS handle the antigen

handle the acne - okay so insulin very important to handle that naturally so

that’s one cause the other cause is that you have too much of a certain enzyme

that is converting your testosterone into something called DHT that’s just a

very powerful form of testosterone so DHT is like 10 times stronger than

regular testosterone okay so there’s too much of the certain enzyme that’s just

making way too much strong testosterone in your body so now why would that

happen right well one of the reasons is that you don’t your vitamin A deficient

so vitamin A will actually help reduce that enzyme okay and that’s probably why

accutane works because accutane is a version of vitamin A a synthetic version

so I would start taking vitamin A in the form of extraversion cod liver oil okay

a high quality cod liver oil get the extraversion you can get it on Amazon

it’s a little more expensive but it’s really good for your skin so vitamin A

will help the skin greatly in improving this situation the vitamin b5 is another

vitamin that also works with vitamin A and it helps reduce acne that’s another

remedy also to help this enzyme be Lord and then zinc zinc is very very powerful

for getting rid of acne because it lowers this enzyme okay so so we have

lowering the insulin okay adding vitamin a in column oil and also increasing b5

in zinc those are the things that I would do if I had acne right now I wish

I would have known about this in high school because I would have done this it

would have cleared things up very nicely now let’s shift gears over to estrogen

so if you have an estrogen problem that’s a little different now what could

cause an high estrogen there’s a lot of things that can cause it but the big

cause is a liver dysfunction okay the liver is not eliminating the

bad estrogen that’s in your body there’s an enzyme in the liver called aroma

taste similar to this enzyme but basically it will take the estrogen

testosterone that you have and switch it over to estrogen okay so now here you

are you know you don’t have this problem you have a different issue over here and

that made me come from a liver issue and this can happen in men and women but

here’s the symptoms or the problems with the liver you could have a fatty liver

which a lot of people have or scar tissue deliver a cold liver cirrhosis

that comes from the inflammation in the liver from that eating or a virus like

hepatitis something like that or even a fatty liver fatty liver will then turn

into cirrhosis over time and again these these are not isolated situations you

could actually have insulin resistance that creates the fatty liver

then causes this over here so it’s not just always cut and dry so what I’m

saying is that you have to look at acne as a clue and pull a string and get your

body healthy the skin is the largest organ in the body and it gives us clues

on what’s going on inside you can tell a lot about a person’s health by their

skin so these are just kind of indicators you want to use to try

different things so liver dysfunction okay so that can keep your estrogen time

because now your liver cannot detoxify these harmful estrogens other things

that can cause this high blood pressure medications specifically calcium channel

blockers will do it antibiotics will increase the estrogen

alcohol will increase estrogen it’s very estrogenic yeah heartburn medications

have been linked to high levels of estrogen antidepressants will increase

your estrogen so all these people are on medications and they don’t know why

they’re now they’re getting acne because it’s doing this right here

okay so now what do we do if we have those issues we want to start eating

healthier of course the best food for the liver would be cruciferous

vegetables okay I’m going to put a link down below that would be like kale

broccoli Brussels sprouts there’s another remedy that I like and I

put a link down below for more information it’s it’s a protocol dim and

dim is like 25 times stronger than regular cruciferous it’s a super

concentrated version of cruciferous that will really help handle the estrogen

dominance and help acne it’s really good results with that and then the last

thing we’ll talk about is stinging nettle root that is a plant that will

also lower this enzyme and clean up the excess estrogen in your body

okay so we got cruciferous dim or either/or or stinging nettle root

that’s really good for the liver of course apply the information of insulin

which I’m going to put the link below again there’s a lot of information in

this video you can go back and research it but these are the things that I would

do if I had acne and there might be other medications that

you can take to get rid of it fast but it comes back so this is the best way to

correct it fast so it doesn’t come back it’s more of a permanent thing so I hope

this helped and put your comments below thanks for watching
