When acne is present, it means that the liver and lymphatic system are harboring a chronic, low-grade level of Streptococcus–it can be one or more strains from the over 50 groups of Streptococcus bacteria.
Acne develops when strep has made a long-term home inside the body after (sometimes long after) a strep-related infection.
Strep lives in the liver due to the abundance of food (such as antibiotics, toxic heavy metals, eggs, dairy, gluten, and more) inside the organ for it to feed on and thrive.
The lymphatic system is the favorite path for strep to enter the subcutaneous tissue beneath the skin’s surface, which happens to be a refuge for poisons and excess fat cells strep can feast on—just as they accumulate in the liver, they accumulate here.
Before acne even develops, strep stays and feasts on poisons, slowly working its way through the subcutaneous fat and re-strengthening itself. Finally, it enters the bottom level of the dermis.
The skin’s personalized immune system starts to gather sebum oil as a quicksand-like agent to deter the strep from getting any higher.
Because the strep has been well fueled and is at this point, the sebum oil isn’t enough to stop it. Now the skin’s immune system kicks into higher gear, prompting the production of sebum oil at even larger volumes as a last attempt to trap the bacteria and safeguard your skin.
When strep is strong, it fights through even the extra sebum oil and survives the lymphocytes and killer cells just below the epidermis. It climbs up into this outer layer of your skin and you end up with cystic acne.
What determines the severity of acne includes how many strains of strep you have, how many toxins such as heavy metals are present in the liver and subcutaneous tissue for strep to feed on, how many antibiotics you have used or otherwise ingested over a lifetime, what happened before your lifetime that you inherited, what kind of adrenaline surges you experience in daily life, pesticide exposure, and what your diet is like.

12 Foods That Help Heal Strep

12 Foods That Help Heal Strep
❖
Symptoms and conditions caused by streptococcus bacteria are varied and numerous. They include sinus pain and congestion, otitis media, UTIs, intestinal disorders, SIBO, sore throats, styes, cystic acne, bacterial vaginosis, strep throat, and more. Strep can cause a multitude of seemingly unrelated issues that all stem from one or more of the multiple strains, many of which are undiscovered.
Fortunately, there’s many healing foods, herbs and supplements that can help combat strep. Here I am sharing 12 healing foods you can include.
For herbs and supplements that help fight strep (including dosages), you can read Medical Medium Liver Rescue: Answers to Eczema, Psoriasis, Diabetes, Strep, Acne, Gout, Bloating, Gallstones, Adrenal Stress, Fatigue, Fatty Liver, Weight Issues, SIBO & Autoimmune Disease.
Celery Juice
is a powerful herbal extraction that immediately starts killing off strep. Celery juice is best consumed plain on an empty stomach every morning. Drink 16 ounces or more daily. Find out exactly how celery juice helps and how to drink it in Medical Medium Celery Juice: The Most Powerful Medicine of Our Time Healing Millions Worldwide.
Bananas
have antibacterial properties that are incredible for collecting strep and pulling it out of the system. Enjoy them as a snack, in fruit bowls, smoothies, or blend frozen bananas into ice cream.
Berries
are a powerhouse food that are great for helping to defeat strep anywhere in the body. Enjoy them as a snack, in fruit bowls, smoothies, juices, sauces, or gluten-free oatmeal. Top with raw honey for the best prebiotic there is.
Wild berries, especially wild blueberries, are the most healing type of berries. If you can pick berries fresh, they will be coated in what I call “elevated biotics” that can get into the digestive tract and become a weapon against strep and conditions it causes such as SIBO and acid reflux. If you can’t find frozen or fresh wild berries, try Wild Blueberry Powder.
Spinach
is a fantastic antibacterial. Spinach helps create a more alkaline stomach composition by raising beneficial hydrochloric acid levels, which in turn kills off unproductive bacteria such as strep that create the bad acids responsible for GERD and other forms of acid reflux. It’s important to eat spinach raw, not cooked, to receive its healing benefits. Enjoy it on salads, in Medical Medium Raw Spinach Soup (find the recipe on the blog), dips, dressings, smoothies, and juices.
Onion
helps fight strep in the bladder, reproductive system, intestinal tract, and colon. It can also help in healing styes, which are most often caused by strep bacteria. Enjoy it raw as often as possible. Enjoy it on salads or steamed vegetables and in sauces, dressings, or dips. Use onion in soups, broths, curries, stir fries, and more.
Garlic
has very strong antibacterial properties. Contrary to some mistaken theories, garlic does not kill productive bacteria in the intestinal tract. It only kills unproductive bacteria, which runs on a positive frequency. Enjoy it raw as often as possible. Two (or more) raw cloves of garlic per day is ideal for fighting strep. Enjoy it on salads or steamed vegetables and in sauces, dressings, and dips. Or simply eat a raw garlic clove crushed in raw honey or some banana or avocado.
Ginger
has incredible immune-boosting and germ-fighting abilities and helps provide protection and relief from bacterial conditions caused by strep, plus E.coli and staph.
Ginger can be juiced fresh with other ingredients; or add raw ginger root to smoothies, dressings, soups, applesauce, or salads. You can also cook with fresh ginger, making soups, broths, teas, stir fries, and more.
Turmeric
has antibacterial, antiseptic and antimicrobial properties that fight against strep bacteria. Enjoy just like fresh ginger.
Cayenne pepper
is high in vitamin C and beta-carotene, making it a weapon against strep bacteria. It also helps the body to create hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which makes the stomach a more hostile environment for bacteria. Sprinkle it in salsa, guacamole and other dips, enjoy on salads or vegetable dishes, or even put a pinch of it in smoothies or juices.
Raw honey
contains phytochemicals that help destroy all the different strep bacteria varieties. It’s delicious on top of fruit, in salad dressings, in lemon or lime water or added to smoothies and fruit ice creams.
Oregano
is a powerful antiseptic and antibacterial that works to kill off streptococcus. Try adding fresh chopped oregano to your salads, soups, and pasta sauce, or steep it in water overnight and drink the next day. It can also be made into a hot herbal tea. Oregano oil can also be found as a tincture, extract, or capsule form online or at your local health food store.
Thyme
is another excellent antibacterial herb. It is especially helpful as a purifying herb for the digestive tract where it kills off strep bacteria, making it a key herb for anyone with SIBO, IBS, bloating, and other gut conditions. Enjoy it in the same way as oregano.

Some evidence suggests that mango and chili pepper may offer benefits for skin health, potentially impacting acne:
Mango
Chili pepper (specifically capsaicin)
However
In summary:
Mango and chili pepper possess properties that may contribute to improved skin health and potentially help manage acne. Mango, when consumed in moderation, can nourish the skin with vitamins and antioxidants, while the capsaicin in chili pepper, applied topically with caution, might help reduce inflammation and improve skin regeneration. If you have concerns about acne, consult with a dermatologist to determine the most effective treatment plan for your specific needs.
Mango
- Mangoes are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds.
- Vitamin A can help regulate oil production and prevent clogged pores, potentially reducing acne breakouts.
- Antioxidants like vitamin C help protect skin cells from damage and support collagen production, potentially reducing signs of aging and improving skin texture.
- Mangoes also contain natural enzymes that can exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and preventing clogged pores.
Chili pepper (specifically capsaicin)
- Capsaicin, the active compound in chili peppers, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
- Topical application of capsaicin may help reduce inflammation and redness associated with acne and other inflammatory skin conditions.
- It also stimulates blood flow, delivering nutrients to skin cells and potentially aiding in healing acne lesions and scars.
However
- Moderation is key: While mango offers benefits, excessive consumption (due to high sugar content) may increase sebum production in some individuals, potentially worsening acne.
- Topical application of chili pepper should be done with caution: Capsaicin can cause a burning sensation and skin irritation, especially for sensitive skin. It's recommended to start with low concentrations and monitor your skin's response.
In summary:
Mango and chili pepper possess properties that may contribute to improved skin health and potentially help manage acne. Mango, when consumed in moderation, can nourish the skin with vitamins and antioxidants, while the capsaicin in chili pepper, applied topically with caution, might help reduce inflammation and improve skin regeneration.
