Acne is an End-organ Hyper-response to Androgens...

" ACNE " - is an end-organ hyper-response to androgens...

-

 

Acne occurs when steroids (androgens) stimulate the sebaceous glands

within the skin's hair follicles. These glands then secrete an oily

substance called sebum. When sebum, bacteria and dead skin cells

build up on your skin, the pores become blocked, creating a zit.

 

What do you expect? When teenagers combine their own surging

hormones with dietary saturated animal fat, cholesterol, steroid

hormones, dead white blood cells, and cow pus, they're gonna get

zits. The good news: The cure is an easy one: NOTMILK!

" As pointed out by Dr. Jerome Fisher, 'About 80 percent of cows that

are giving milk are pregnant and are throwing off hormones

continuously.' Progesterone breaks down into androgens, which have

been implicated as a factor in the development of acne...Dr. Fisher

observed that his teenage acne patients improved as soon as the milk

drinking stopped. "

Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine)

" Acne usually begins at puberty, when an increase in androgens

causes an increase in the size and activity of pilosebaceous

glands....if a food is suspected, it should be omitted for several

weeks and then eaten in substantial quantities to determine if acne

worsens. "

" Acne is an end-organ hyper-response to androgens...These data show

that sebaceous glands are stimulated by androgens to varying degrees

and support the theory of an end-organ response in acne. "

" Acne vulgaris is a self-limiting skin disorder seen primarily in

adolescents, whose etiology appears to be multifactorial. The

immunologic response involves both humoral and cell-mediated

pathways. Further research should clarify the role of complement,

cytotoxins, and neutrophils in this acne-forming response. "

" Hormones found in cow's milk include: Estradiol, Estriol,

Progesterone, Testosterone, 17-Ketosteroids, Corticosterone, Vitamin

D, insulin-like growth factor, growth hormone, prolactin,

oxytocin... "

" We studied the effects of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like

growth factors (IGFs), alone and with androgen, on sebaceous

epithelial cell growth...IGF-I was the most potent stimulus of DNA

synthesis. These data are consistent with the concept that increases

in GH and IGF production contribute in complementary ways to the

increase in sebum production during puberty. "

 

Endocrinology, 1999 Sep, 140:9, 4089-94

" ...serum IGF-I levels increased significantly in the milk drinking

group…an increase of about 10% above baseline-but was unchanged in

the control group. "
