Diet Therapy for Acne
To begin with, the patient should take only an 'all-fruit'
diet for a week, taking three meals a day, of fresh juicy
fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, grapefruit,
pineapples, and peaches. Only unsweetened lemon or
plain water, either hot or cold, should be drunk and
nothing else. After the one-week, all-fruit diet, the patient
can gradually adopt a well-balanced diet with emphasis on
raw foods, especially fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouted
seeds, raw nuts, and whole-grain cereals, particularly
millet and brown rice. Further short periods of the 'all-fruit'
diet for three days or so may be necessary at a monthly
interval till the skin's condition improves. Meats, sugar,
strong tea or coffee, condiments, pickles, soft drinks,
candies, ice cream, refined and processed foods should be
avoided as far as possible.
