Acne, Genetics

You know one of the biggest lies in this life is the way we use the word "genetics" when we talk about disease?

Yes, genetics is real, strong, and beautiful. But it mostly affects your hair color, eye color, height, skin, blood type, muscle structure, and body type tendencies.

We took that word and threw it onto our problems — especially diseases, of body and mind.

Disease is, above all, a byproduct of our choices, environment, habits, and thoughts. Even if there's some genetic component.

Even the WHO — that very corrupted body funded heavily by private donations and foundations, the same body responsible for creating disease rather than health (we saw it during Covid and we still see it) — even the WHO writes on its own site that most chronic diseases can be prevented through changes in diet and lifestyle (forget about them actually doing anything to prevent disease).

So our health is mostly in our hands.

So what is the genetic connection?

It's called epigenetics — the impact of our environment on how our genes express themselves.

Epi — Greek for "above." Above genetics. Remember the word.

Epigenetics is the science studying how our behavior and environment cause changes that affect how our genes are expressed.

Epigenetic changes determine which genes are switched On and which are switched Off.

People are born healthy, then at 40 are diagnosed with a disease and told it's "genetic."

I, for example, was sick for many years — "bad genetics." And I've been healthy for many years — "good genetics."

What changed? My choices.

Epigenetic research proves our genes are like a loaded gun, but our choices decide whether the worse genes get expressed or not.

Say you grew up in a house with diabetic parents, ate sugar all the time, and your parents told you that when you grow up you'll probably get diabetes too.

That's already epigenetic preparation for the disease.

So — are you inheriting genes, or habits?

The real source of most disease is toxins. We're exposed to massive amounts of toxins in our lives:

• Processed food, starting with infant formula
• Vaccines from day one
• Air pollution
• Creams and chemicals absorbed through the skin
• Drugs, pills, painkillers, antibiotics
• Soaps, deodorants, shampoo, cleaning products, laundry detergents, plastics, and more

Oh — and your thoughts. They can be very, very toxic.

When you judge yourself and your environment, when you criticize, when you see everything as negative...

And then you think it's genetic?

True, if mom and dad weren't healthy before or during pregnancy, there are genetic influences. Or if a particular drug or substance was given to mom during pregnancy.

(I hope nobody takes this text to a place of blame. I was also vaccinated as a baby and a child. There's no reason to go to blame — only to learning and change from this moment forward.)

But in most cases, our health is mostly shaped by epigenetics.

The genetics narrative is how we get turned into helpless victims who think there's nothing to do, that we have to take the pill.

The truth is, any situation can improve.

You can clean toxins out of the body. You can strengthen the immune system. You can fill deficiencies, repair the gut lining so it absorbs again, clean toxins out of internal organs and the brain. You can change the way you think.

You can flip your epigenetic state at any stage.

That doesn't mean we aim to heal every disease or eliminate every symptom. Life is complex.

But I have no doubt that anyone who makes better choices and learns how to improve their body's systems will see improvement.

At minimum, we owe it to ourselves — to try.

What about acne?

People suffer from skin breakouts and are convinced the problem is in the skin.

I don't know if it happened by accident, or because of the cosmetics and drug industry — actually, of course I know.

A whole industry profits not just from you buying and smearing toxins on your skin — it's so brilliant that the same chemicals create the skin problems in the first place.

So we were taught to look at acne as a skin problem — a local malfunction that needs to be dried, disinfected, or hidden.

But that's a harmful approach. It treats the symptom where it appears, and ignores the reason it appeared.

Once you understand the skin isn't a problem but a messenger — the whole story changes.

The skin is the body's largest organ. It breathes. It helps the body clean itself. Like going to a sauna to sweat toxins out.

Acne isn't a skin problem. It's an external expression of internal imbalance.

The skin is an eliminating organ. When something inside isn't flowing well, the body uses the skin as an emergency exit.

But do we ask ourselves why something is happening before we try to treat it?

Acne forms when three factors combine:

• Imbalanced oil production
• Clogged pores
• Local inflammation

But those are the symptoms, not the root.

What really determines whether you'll have acne:

1. Digestive system and liver When digestion isn't clean, when the gut lining is damaged (leaky gut), or the liver is overloaded — toxins and excess hormones need a way out. The skin becomes the emergency exit.

2. Hormonal system (especially insulin and cortisol) Sugar consumption, white flour, and chronic stress all raise insulin → raise cortisol → raise inflammation in the body.

This isn't some mysterious hormonal mystery. It's predictable physiology.

3. Nervous system Pressure, people-pleasing, lack of boundaries — the body in survival mode. Less repair, more inflammation. On an emotional level: when you're consumed with what the outside world thinks of you.

What it's not:

• Not too-oily skin
• Not poor hygiene
• Not "genetic fate"
• And definitely not a cosmetic issue

Creams, ointments, and antibiotics can suppress symptoms — but if you don't change the inside, it comes back again and again.

Acne is the body's request, not a malfunction. Whoever tries to silence it pays for it later. Whoever listens and actually changes their inside sees a deep shift — not just in the skin.
