Stop turning to antiacids and other patent medicines. Those people peddle poison. They know that taking antiacids actually CAUSES heartburn because you body responds to that by producing MORE acid.
Try drinking some vinegar.
No, I am NOT kidding.
Incidently? The same counterintuitive solution can be allply to acne vulgarus.
the patent medinces you put on your faces because you THINK you're getting acne from OIL are guaranteed to make your acne worse.
Why?
Because the surface of your skin is TOOO DRY hence you body respons by putting more oil into your pores.
And since the surface is too dry, that oiul gets trapped in the pores.
Try washing your face with Dove soap for a couple months.
Yeah, that's right your skin is PROBABLY too dry which is why you are getting acne.
Never EVER EVER trust patent medicine.
Usually it aggrevates the problem and if you think about it, you realize that is NOT an accident.
I sort of agree ... kinda'. We as a society rely too much on pills to cure our ills. Some have merit, some don't. I am prone to seeking a natural remedy first. I've never tried the vinegar one because that's one I have never heard. White or red vinegar?
However, if I have a bacterial infection, I'm taking the antibiotics.
It's not the vnegar it's the acid that works.
I don't think the kind of acid is important.
Tums and the like actually exacerbates the problem.
That's why people become addicted (no I am NOT kidding!) to antiacids. I once knew a woman addicted to bromo-seltzer for example. She did, lord I don't know how many!, boxes of the stuff every day.
Remember that alkaloids are addictive, generally.
