MSM and aloe vera juice for acne and question regarding fast

[Quanta2998]

I bought MSM mainly for it's detox abilities but I've also read that it can be good for acne and even certain parasites. I'm wondering whether you've heard anything about it's anti-acne properties and how long do you recommend taking MSM for heavy metal detoxing?

Also, I don't have aloe vera juice yet but you're faq says to drink some 2x a day for acne. I was wondering how long you'd have to do that?

Also, I'm thinking of doing a one day fast(either water or juice) once a week. I would probably just drink a lot of water or juice and take 3 of your fiber shakes along with some of your cleansing drinks. I've been doing the cleansing drink 2x a day for a while now and the fiber drink 1-2x times a day(usually just once at night) so I think I can handle the 3x fiber drink to get things cleared out. Do you think a one day fast is a good idea or is it useless unless I fast for more than one day? Also, how about a light work out on the day of the fast? I usually run a mile or so at night to try to get in shape and to get some toxins out via sweating so would it be a good idea for a light run/walk even without any food in me?

Hi hi!

MSM can cause acne just as much as it relieves it, so I don't often list it as an acne cure. The reason it is listed as an acne cure is because it is one of the many compounds that help the liver cleanse itself. So as part of comprehensive liver management it is fine. It's also good for an anti-parasite protocol and to feed ligaments and joints. Great stuff for that. I don't necessarily recommend it for heavy metals chelation. Some people with heavy metals toxicity are extremely sensitive to all sulphurs.

Aloe vera juice is best done about 3 days in a row periodically during your bowel cleansing protocol.

A one-day fast is an excellent way to REST the body (light exercise, 20 minutes, only) and help it catch up on excreting toxins by not giving it more to deal with. but to really cleanse 3 days is better.

Hope that answers your questions! let me know if I missed any.

How about applying the aloe vera juice directly to the skin? Have you heard of anyone benefiting from that when dealing with acne?

Also, when is the best time to drink the juice during the day? Between meals or with?

aloe vera juice is a protection kind of moisturizer, but usually any kind of moisturizer all by itself on an eruption will just make it worse. Either leave it naked or apply things to take out the toxins, like ground ginger/turmeric, or a mask with clay that has some aloe vera but is a leave-on dteoxer like Freeman's.

Best in between meals.
