"Age Spots", also called "Liver Spots", are the brown spots that begin to appear on the skin as we age.
"Lipfuscin Accumulatio" is a waste build-up caused by free radical damage in skin cells which results in age spots.
These spots are signs that the cells are full of toxic waste that is destroying cells in the body, including the heart muscle, the brain, the retina and liver cells.
There are many causes of age spots including lack of exercise, excess sun exposure, poor diet, weak liver function or from eating rancid oils.
Think of age spots as the surface signs of free radical intoxication.
Retinoic acid is being used with good results to remove the symptoms but it is not a cure.
Retinoic acid is a popular ingredient in anti-aging and anti-wrinkle creams.
It is also used to treat severe acne infections.
It works by exfoliating to remove dead skin cells and promoting the growth of new, healthier skin cells.
Retinoic acid increases the risk of sun exposure so it must be used at night or in conjunction with a powerful sunblock to prevent burns and sun damage.
For best results, it must be used regularly since it removes the age spots, but it does not remove the CAUSE of age spots.
Discontinue use and consult a physician if your skin becomes overly irritated and red or if you develop a rash.
Do not use topical retinoic acid if you are pregnant.
The drug should not be used by anyone receiving photosensitizing drugs (thiazides, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, phenothiazines, sulfonamides).
Retinoic acid, or tretinoin, is the only product that has been approved by FDA for reversing aging effects on skin, reducing wrinkles and mottled darkened spots and smoothing the skin.
It reduces skin oil by shrinking sebaceous glands and unclogging hair follicles.
It also increases epidermal thickness and stimulates deposition of new collagen across the skin.
The use of retinol in skin cream is safe if used in moderation.
The daily safe dose of retinol is 10,000 units but liver damage has been reported at 21,600 units per day.
Dietary recommendations: * Do any dental work that needs to be done.
Your mouth should be metal free and bacteria free (cavitations are cleaned).
A toxic mouth can put a heavy load on the liver.
* Lactobacillus Bulgaricus with Acidophilus aids in liver regeneraion and digestion.
* Vitamin C (with bioflavonoids) is a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger that works in tissue repair.
* Chelated Calcium and Magnesium -- Chelated is necessary, particularly for the elderly.
* Vitamin B Complex which includes extra panothenic acid (B5) for proper assimulation of all nutrients.
* Lecithin is needed for proper brain function and is an emulsifier that works well as an antioxidant when taken with Vitamin E.
* Vitamin A, Vitamin D and Vitamin E aid in cleaning and rebuilding the system.
* Helpful herbs are ginseng, gotu kola, licorice and sarsaparilla.
* A high-protein diet that includes lots of raw fruits and vegetables, and nuts and grains.
Avoid caffeine, fried foods, processed foods, sugar and tobacco.
Be careful about seeds and nuts that may have become rancid.
* Sun exposure should be limited to ten minutes a day for Vitamin D absorption.
Longer sun exposure has been proven to encourage skin cancer.
* To cleanse the liver, use black radish extract or dandelion root and beet juice along with three days of fasting each month with plenty of water.
Age spots can be reduced or faded by following the above dietary recommendations, drinking lots of water daily and making sure you are taking an antioxidant supplement.
If you feel your age spots are caused by fatty liver or something other than your diet, be sure to consult a doctor and have your liver checked.
