Revolutionary Skin Program for Acne and Rosacea

Acne is a devastating skin disease affecting 20-33% of the population at any one time, it causes deep psychological trauma and has been a scourge for years, and not just to teenagers.

A treatment that repairs acne and rosacea skin conditions is what anyone suffering from these unbearable problems is looking for – and it seems impossible to find.

Yet the treatment available (over the counter lotions, or antibiotics) for this common chronic condition is often ineffective and many times can contribute towards worsening the condition. The sufferer is often told they are over-reacting to their condition and they will grow out of it.

Acne sufferers try so hard to get rid of their problem without knowing that most of the solutions they are offered are actually making their skin worse

Anyone with any of these conditions will know what it means to be told that a treatment will work, but to actually experience the benefits of The Sher System, knowing the results are long term, is life saving. In almost every case, acne on all levels of severity can be treated successfully with the Sher System.

My skin condition ranged from mild to severe acne including rosacea for over 15 years. I tried everything possibly available, including the whole spectrum of natural therapies and antibiotics, and finally in desperation, accutane.
Nothing made a huge difference. After commencing the Sher System program, within a couple of months my skin had never looked better. I have now been using the Sher System for over four years and now that it is the most effective skin program available for problem skin. The Sher System is unique, personalized and effective.

The reason I have put this Site together is to genuinely help other people who are suffering in the same way as I was. I know the trauma that is associated with acne (and rosacea) and how despairing it can feel to have to live with these conditions. My case was one of the most stubborn. My case is not unique. There are thousands of people all over the world, just like me, who have tried everything else and through the Sher program, no longer have skin complaints.

There is no doubt that Helen Sher has developed a unique System for skin repair and maintenance. On reading the rest of this site you will realise with great relief that you too can look forward to having healthy skin.

Acne and Rosacea
My Experience

My skin condition ranged from mild to severe acne including rosacea over the past 15 years. I tried everything possibly available, including herbal treatments, vitamin supplements, homeopathy, special diets, topical creams, lotions, special skin products, antibiotics and the contraceptive pill - all temporarily relieving the symptoms. Finally I was advised to resort to Accutane, a miracle drug with heavy side effects. I was elated when my skin cleared on Accutane but this was clearly a short term solution as it came back again a year later. Depressing as it was, I had no other alternative but to go back on Accutane. It was during my second course of Accutane, when I came across The Sher System which claimed to eliminate and repair all skin conditions without antibiotics. I had nothing to lose but everything to gain with The Sher System.

The Sher System is like nothing I had used before, it completely balances out the skin and restores it to normal. After a month on the System I noticed a difference. My rosacea symptoms (which are horrible red blotches) completely disappeared. I stopped taking Accutane and I knew it was the program.

“It is all a question of balance,” (Helen Sher, founder of the Sher System) told me, “and lashings of water.” I wish I found it earlier as during my pregnancy my skin was so bad with cystic acne but there was nothing I could do. I had to wait until I wanted to stop breast feeding to go on any treatments, which was very distressing. The only way most people deal with skin problems is to go to their doctor who refers them to a dermatologist who then prescribes antibiotics or other medications, topical or oral. Depending on the type of acne you have they may work eg, if hormone related and you're taking drugs which help control it, but then if you stop taking it, it will reoccur, etc. This is such a frustrating condition - I know - I have been through it all. Trying to find out WHY YOU HAVE IT, is difficult. But, trying to find a solution is virtually impossible.

Acne
What is Acne?

Acne is an inflammatory condition of the skin marked by pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. It is caused by a problem with the sebaceous glands, the oil-secreting glands that lubricate and moisturise the skin. These are found in large numbers on the face, chest, and back. As a result of hormone shifts associated with adolescence, (which is why it is common in teenagers) there is an increase in the number of sebaceous glands, with a consequent increase in the production of oil, or sebum. Normally, sebum passes through glandular canals to the surface of the skin, but when the glands are suffering hormonal overload, an obstruction or hardening of the oils in a glandular canal can occur, preventing sebum from reaching the surface of the skin and resulting in a blackhead or whitehead.

Acne sufferers deserve serious attention and prompt intervention in order to avoid the pockmarks and scars that can occur when the condition is untreated or treated incorrectly. *Acne is so common among teenagers it should be considered normal, concluded a recent Australian study. Researchers found 90 per cent of 16 to 18 year olds had clinically confirmed acne, a quarter had scarring and nearly half reported negative feelings because of their spots. As if that isn't bad enough, the most effective treatment to date, Roaccutane (Accutane) (link here), is no longer being prescribed by some doctors following reports of depressive illness and even suicides among users.
* British Vogue (June 1999)

What Causes Acne?

The exact cause of acne is not known, but factors that contribute to the condition include heredity, oily skin, androgens and hormone imbalances. Other factors are allergies, stress, the use of certain drugs (especially steroids, lithium, oral contraceptives), exposure to industrial pollutants, the use of unsuitable cosmetics, monthly menstrual cycles and excessive exfoliation and rubbing of the skin. *A diet high in sugar and highly refined carbohydrates and low in protein and vegetables is often a contributing factor to acne. High levels of sugar weaken the immune system, enabling bacteria in the skin to spread. In addition, a vegetarian diet is more likely than a meat-based one to be high in essential fatty acids and low in saturated fats.

It maybe of interest to note that acne is almost unknown in subsistence societies of the Amazon and Papau New Guinea, where refined starches are not eaten. The Inuit of Alaska never got spots until they adopted a western diet of refined carbohydrates.
(Source: A study at the Colorado State University).

Acne is the most common skin disease in the United States … 4 million adults are suffering from it.

It is important to realise that most often acne is not a result of poor hygiene. All the washing and scrubbing in the world will not alter the underlying condition. As previously mentioned, acne can be aggravated by many commonly used cosmetic products, which clog the pores from the outside. Lack of sleep, not drinking enough water (link to water) an unbalanced diet, skipping meals, too much caffeine etc, in general will all affect the skin’s condition. During stressful periods, there is more oil production and more hormonal fluctuation. It you have a predisposition to acne stress can make it worse or cause a flare-up. It is estimated that 50 percent of professional women – who experience a great deal of stress juggling work and family – experience outbreaks triggered by stress. When people are going through problems in their life, acne becomes exacerbated. Try to reduce stress by incorporating stress management techniques – meditation, yoga. Ensure you get sufficient exercise. Walking, swimming, cycling can help relieve anxiety and tension.

If there seems to be no “reason” for acne occurring, it is likely to be genetic. Whatever the cause, the Sher System is highly effective in treating acne.

Supplements

Supplements can be very helpful. In particular, Evening Primrose Oil, Vitamins A, B-complex, C (with bioflavinoids), Vitamin E and Zinc. (Take as directed by a practitioner). As an alternative to taking these supplements, The Sher System has recently launched a Skin Support Formula, which provides a carefully balanced program of vitamins, minerals, herbs and probiotics for full skin support.
It works by helping to maintain normal digestion, blood sugar balance, skin nourishment and good elimination.

*(The Complete Self-Care Guide to Holistic Medicine (Putnam 1999 Robert S Ivker, D.O.President of the American Holistic Medical Association)

The Sher System is gentle but highly effective in treating acne. It does not cover up skin problems it eliminates them by repairing, balancing and maintaining the skin’s condition.
The Sher System works effectively from the outside by using a carefully balanced skin program (each individual completes a personal analysis (link to questionnaire).
The result is clear skin.
Thousands of people all over the world, who have suffered for years with acne (and rosacea) are experiencing more than satisfying results with The Sher System.

Rosacea
What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is chronic skin disorder that most often affects the forehead, nose, cheekbones and chin. Groups of capillaries close the surface of the skin become dilated, resulting in blotchy red areas with small bumps and sometimes, pustules. The redness can come and go, but eventually may become permanent. The skin tissue may swell and thicken, and may be tender and sensitive to touch. The inflammation of rosacea can look a great deal like acne, but it tends to be more chronic. It is a fairly common disorder, but often incorrectly diagnosed. Rosacea usually begins with frequent flushing of the face, particularly of the nose and cheeks. The condition sometimes seems to calm down, but without correct management, will become permanent.
(From: Prescription for Nutritional healing, Balch & Balch, Published by Avery)

What Causes Rosacea?

Rosacea usually develops in middle age and its cause remains unknown.. Rosacea is invariably aggravated by extremes of temperature, sunlight (sufferers must take every precaution to avoid undue exposure to strong UV light), alcohol, very hot drinks and spicy foods. Stress, vitamin deficiencies and infection can be contributing factors. In short, anything that causes the already congested and weakened blood vessels of the face to dilate even further, and the skins sensitive surface to become irritated and inflamed. However, what may aggravate one person’s condition may have no effect on another. For self-help, individuals can usually identity the aggravator and make necessary changes to eliminate/control the trigger:

Because of its red-faced, acne-like effects on personal appearance, it can cause significant psychological, social and occupational problems if left untreated.

In recent surveys by the National Rosacea Society, nearly 70 percent of rosacea patients said this condition had lowered their self-confidence and self-esteem, and 41 percent reported it had caused them to avoid public contact or cancel social engagements. Among rosacea patients with severe symptoms, nearly 70 percent said the disorder had adversely affected their professional interactions, and nearly 30 percent said they had even missed work because of their condition.

Any one of the following warning signs is a signal for diagnosis and appropriate treatment before the signs and symptoms become increasingly severe:

Information Source: National Rosacea Society (link Site?)

Anyone past the age of puberty can get it, but rosacea most commonly occurs between the ages of 30 to 60, and may be seen in women experiencing hormonal changes associated with menopause. Women are more frequently affected than men; the most severe cases, however, are seen in men. Fair complexioned individuals of Northern European descent are most likely to be at risk from rosacea; most appear to be pre-disposed to flushing and blushing.

Women are more likely to get rosacea on the cheeks and chin, but men are more likely to get rosacea on the nose.

Usual Treatment

In severe cases, a long-term course of tetracycline may be prescribed, although, as with acne, when treatment is stopped the spots may reappear, triggered by a vigorous rebound action. As a last resort, Accutane may be prescribed. Again, reoccurrence can result on cessation of the medication.

Sufferers can also try to control the flushing of rosacea with the following tips:

Environmental Factors: exposure to sun, wind and sudden temp changes should be avoided.

Hormonal Influences: menopausal flushing will sometimes affect women in their late forties and early fifties. A hormone replacement therapy may be helpful.

Diet: Some foods and drinks will cause flushing attacks eg, spicy foods, and even fermented, pickled, marinated foods. Alcoholic drinks will cause flushing in susceptible people.

Stress: Rosacea sufferers tend to flush easily in certain situations particularly those that cause nervousness, anxiety, tenseness or embarrassment. Use relaxation and breathing control to help cope with stress. Exercise can also help to relieve stress and unwind tension.

Supplements

Supplements can be very helpful in helping control rosacea.
Use under the guidance of a practioner: L-glutamine, Evening Primrose Oil, Vitaman A, Vitamin B complex, Extra Vitamin B12, Multivitamin and mineral complex, Vitamin E, Zinc, Vitamin C with bioflavinoids. As an alternative to taking these supplements, The Sher System has recently launched a Skin Support Formula which provides a carefully balanced program of vitamins, minerals, herbs and probiotics for full skin support.
It works by helping to maintain normal digestion, blood sugar balance, skin nourishment and good elimination.

Does the Sher System cure Rosacea?
There is no cure for rosacea, but we believe the Sher System is the next best thing - and some of our rosacea clients have seen an incredible improvement in their skin (see testimonials). The Sher System for rosacea soothes and repairs damaged skin, restores its natural balance, has anti-inflammatory properties and helps reduce redness.

Antibiotics

When antibiotics were first discovered in 1928 by Alexander Fleming they were heralded as a breakthrough in modern medicine. Bacterial infections that once were the cause of death could now be controlled. Antibiotics helped to completely eliminate scourges like smallpox and have been successful in controlling some serious conditions like tuberculosis, bacterial pneumonia, septicemia and gonorrhoea. Yet even though these substances retain great medicinal value, they can cause almost as much misery as they take away. Constipation, diarrhoea, excess stomach gas, nausea and thrush are just some of the side-effects of prolonged antibiotic use. A breakdown in the body's natural resistance is another.

Today antibiotics are prescribed for any number of minor conditions. In so doing, many infection causing bacteria have developed an immunity to certain antibiotics. This has called for stronger and stronger antibiotics to be found. Sometimes a patient may need to try several kinds of this drug before they can successfully destroy damaging bacteria. However, many of these conditions might successfully be treated by more natural methods.

For example, Garlic is a natural antibiotic, with both anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. It can be used to treat minor infections, such as those that affect the ear, mouth, throat and upper respiratory tract. Unlike conventional antibiotics, Garlic helps to build the immune system so the body itself can join in the fight to regain lost health.

The constant use of antibiotics which are suppressive in nature, hide the problem and can also damage and weaken the immune system, leading to digestive problems which in turn worsens the condition.

The skin is a barometer of everything that goes on inside the body. Dry, blotchy, flaky or spotty skin is an overflow from a toxic digestive system. A skin disorder signifies that the whole 'pond' is clogged. Antibiotics can keep the problem under control temporarily but once they are withdrawn the condition will return, often with a vengeance. By increasing the toxicity in the body, antibiotics make the situation worse.

Antibiotics are not the answer for skin problems. No body wants to be on antibiotics indefinitely. What is required is a safe, natural and effective solution. The Sher System is safe and effective for problem skin.

Accutane

Oral Retinoid for acne (Accutane) is often prescribed for severe acne which has failed to respond to previous antibiotic treatment.

Potential side effects include:

	dry lips
	sore eyes
	nose bleeds
	hair loss
	joint pains
	facial hyperpigmentation
	mood changes
	The drug is teratogenic and must not be given to women who are pregnant as it causes birth defects.

Accutane suppresses acne by shutting down oil production in the sebaceous glands, making the skin dry, extremely fragile and impairing its ability to regenerate new epidermal cells. This 'wonder-drug' has been linked with depression and suicide and the British Medical Association urges its members to exercise more caution over issuing prescriptions for acne and realise that the medical profession can no longer ignore the many alternative therapies available to help skin problems.

“The amount of time devoted to dermatology when doctors train is limited, so it is no surprise that, while skin problems account for 12% of all GP consultations, in an estimated 45% of cases the doctor will get the diagnosis wrong.” (UK All Party Parliamentary Report on Skin). This excessive use of antibiotics can be a deadly habit, but there is a safe and simple alternative.

The aim of The Sher System is to present an objective account of the truth and to share with anyone who needs help, The Sher System's knowledge of skincare and to spread factual information that people have a right to know. Doctors have less and less time to talk to patients and do not have all the answers. The great tragedy of orthodox medicine is that doctors have always been suspicious of anything new, but must now accept that there is a huge public demand for complimentary medicine.

The Importance of water....

We've heard it all before, water is needed for good health. We all use water, we drink a few glasses a day maybe, and take a shower or bath daily. The Sher System re-educates us in understanding how important water is to our general wellbeing and that of our skin. The Sher System uses water internally and externally. Combined with The Sher System's products, lashings of water are used to cleanse, protect and miraculously repair and rebalance the skin.

Drinking Pure Water

The facts are that most people do not drink enough water.

The World Health Organisation recommends that adults drink eight large glasses of water daily, but few people actually do and many people consider drinking tea, coffee or alcohol as part of their fluid intake (which do not hydrate, they dehydrate). Many people do not recognise that they are dehydrated and as people grow older, the symptoms become more difficult to identify.

Symptoms of lack of water intake include:

		headaches
		constipation
		lethargy
		lack of alertness and changes in mood

Some doctors and health gurus claim that not drinking enough water causes many of society's most common serious ailments, such as asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. A dry or discoloured tongue and darker than normal urine are signs that you are dehydrated.

Each person loses six pints of water daily: a pint perspiring, two in breathing out and three in urine. Water is essential for the body to replace lost water, to cool and lubricate and to flush out waste and toxins.

Get Into the Habit

Drinking water in the morning flushes out the kidneys and regulates the bowels. Get into a habit of having a litre of water (preferably purified) by your beside and on waking in the morning, drink several glasses before breakfast. You may find yourself urinating more than normal, but your body will re-adjust. Then take another litre of water to work with you, drink 2 glasses mid-morning (not necessarily all at once) and again two glasses through the afternoon.

The Sher System is a revolutionary skin care system that is consistently producing incredible results for problem skin.

Use for both Acne and Rosacea:
What is The Sher System?

Acne sufferers try so hard to get rid of their problem without knowing that most of the solutions they are offered are actually making their skin worse. The Sher System is gentle, effective and antibacterial - it does not cover up skin problems it eliminates them by balancing the skin and repairing previous damage.

It's important to be aware that the condition of the skin is also affected by:

		genetic factors				abrasion
		what we eat				hard water
		the levels of stress in life				pollution
		exposure to sun				dehydration

All skin problems are the result of some internal imbalance and it is important to discover the cause of the problem that may also require internal treatment such as homeopathy, naturopathy and nutritional advice.

The Sher System is a revolutionary treatment for acne consisting of an interactive group of products with the emphasis on water therapy that keeps the skin healthy and spot free. It's a simple procedure, the sequence in which all the ingredients work together - that is the real secret of its success.

Water not only stimulates circulation but also regulates and controls the natural balance of the skin. Warm water will revitalize, hydrate, oxygenate and detoxify the skin. It also helps to eliminate large pores and blackheads, making you feel both invigorated and relaxed, while replacing the essential moisture we lose daily. The Sher System is based on the premise that water is the most important catalyst in keeping skin youthful, clear and firm. A key factor of The Sher System is the combination of the technique and the formulations working in harmony to control the natural functions of the skin.

Conventional commercial products include harsh toners and soaps, they are strongly alkaline. In it's natural state, the surface of our skin is slightly acidic which creates an environment in which germs and bacterial cannot survive. So by applying conventional cleansers and toners you are possibly encouraging infection and damage. Alkaline materials and hard water are also very drying, which exacerbates skin problems.

Evaluating your skin and getting expert advice
Helen Sher is an expert in determining the perfect environment for your skin becoming healthy, balanced and vibrant. The Sher System is gentle and effective, it does not "cover up" skin problems like so many commercial products, far from it, skin problem are eliminated.

The Sher System looks at corrective methods for repairing the damage and maintaining healthy skin. There is no doubt that the condition of the skin as well as health in general, is affected by the points mentioned above. These factors together with the levels of psychological stress in life, are also taken into consideration and recommendations (where necessary) for improvements, such as nutrition, supplements, reduced stress, exposure to environmental influences are also suggested.

The Sher System is designed to draw out impurities and rebalance the skin using water therapy based on multiple rinsing, temperature controlled cleansing, using a gentle anti drying cleanser. The skin is then sealed with a multi action serum (containing lavender oil, vitamins and grape seed oil), and moisturizer (if needed). The Sher System is unique as each program is tailor made to the individual, depending on the skin type. The system works interactively – your skin is getting exactly the care it needs to repair and rebalance. It takes about a month for the full effect of the program because skin cells take 28 days to replace themselves (although most people see results almost immediately).

Before commencing the Sher System, each client must complete a skin profile/questionnaire first in order to have a personal program specifically designed for their individual requirements. To access the questionnaire click here or alternatively contact us with your request and we will post you a questionnaire promptly.

What People Have To Say

The following is a small sample of letters received from clients who have used The Sher System:

Irene had suffered with acne for 33 years:
“Thank you ever so much for sending so quickly the details of The Sher products I need for my skin.
I felt really optimistic after speaking to you on the telephone on Saturday. When I put the phone down I actually burst into tears, of relief, because I really felt that I was at last getting some constructive help. I also immediately stopped taking my antibiotics - I have never felt so brave! Having had acne for 33 years the antibiotics have always been my 'life belt' but at what price I wonder.
I hope that my spots will 'hang fire' until I can begin my Sher regime. I am so terrified of getting any more scarring.
I am really looking forward to an improvement in my skin. Over the years it has totally shattered my confidence and I have broken my heart at the hopelessness of its condition.
I am now looking upon this as a completely new era in my life. Goodbye antibiotics - hello health and good skin! Thanks so much again Helen,

Kindest regards,”

“I have to tell you that after only two days on the programme, my skin feels so good. I cannot believe the improvement. Apart from the usual dry and flaky bits, I can cope with this and things can only get better. Many thanks to you and your team for the professional approach and assistance. I'll keep you posted on my continued progress. Bye for now!”

Gary.

“Just wanted to let you know that into day 2 of your products, Thomas says that his skin is calming down it really was very irritated. I explained to him how the products work and about skin acidity and all the things we put on our skin to irritate it and get it out of balance. Initially the regime seemed a bit overwhelming; what to use when and how, but now I think he has the hang of it. Just wanted to let you know all this. Thank you again.”

Ruth.

“I have been using your products now for ten days, and I m very pleased with such quick results, after two days, a friend said how healthy and glowing my skin looked. My husband, bless him, said I looked like a film star!!”

“The few spots I had before I started treatment healed very quickly, so far no new ones have appeared. I have stopped taking the antibiotics, hopefully for good. Thank you so much for your wonderful products, my face looks clear and even. Kindest regards,”

P Horrocks

“This is just a short message to tell you that my skin is looking LOTS better already!! I can't believe that only after two days there has been such a dramatic improvement!
Lots of people at school today commented on how clear my skin is looking, and asking what I have done that has "cured" it so quickly! Although obviously not all my spots have gone they are well on their way out!
Thank you SO much - I truly believe you are a magician!!!!! I will keep you informed of my progress.”

Ruth F

“Things are looking very good with our skins. Rebecca's spots are looking very calm. I would say that by the end of this month her skin will be clear, keep you posted. My skin, well my skin is just wonderful. There is just the odd spot but nothing to worry about, my skin looks and feels very healthy. My friends have passed comment on my skin and I have been putting my hair up away from my face which is something I have never done. Thanks Helen for your help and advice.”

S & R Goddard

“Just to let you know, my skin has improved 100%. It's fantastic, the change has been dramatic. Thank you and thank God. I look and feel a different person. Several people (at least five) have said how well and happy I look. Also thank you for your advice when I rang you in August. With very best wishes,”

M Tucker

“I am still a very happy customer. The change in my skin is astounding. I've been asked if I had cosmetic surgery, I look and feel 10 years younger. Can not thank you enough.“

Diane S

“I must write to tell you that after using your skincare products for two months now, my skin has never been this smooth and healthy-looking before! There is no other system I would use now”

“The blemishes have all but gone - the odd spot that is treated with your "miracle" On-the-Spot lotion just disappears within one to two days, without drying the skin. Your skincare system is second to none!”

Janet K

“I feel I must write and let you know how happy I am since sending for your products. My skin has been looking exceptionally good for several months now. This is a condition I never thought I would achieve after many years of trying various medical tablets, creams and lotions to no avail. I will continue to use your products and wish to thank you for all your help and advice, which is very much appreciated.”

Jan H

“After a rather long delay, I'm writing to tell you that your products truly work wonders. My face is now blemish-free for the first time in many years. Also, somehow it's radiant even without makeup. I'd like to thank you because your cleansing and makeup have become a daily routine, and I have indeed received endless compliments all around, as you assured me.
Many thanks”

Lia.

“I've been meaning to write to you for a while to let you know how things are going - well, it's been almost a year since I started using your products and my skin is brilliant - no more thick makeup to hide beneath!”

“At first I didn't believe it would work but it has - my mum can't stop admiring my skin, as she was the one who persuaded me to see you in the first place. Once again, thank you very much for everything.”

Tracey S

"I came to you over two years ago now, with the latest batch of unsightly spots and dull skin.
This was my last attempt to rectify a situation that I'd had to live with for nearly twenty years.
Since my teen years I've suffered from spots and unfortunately at the tender age of 24 I encountered my first bout of acne. I was on prescribed tablets to help the situation and then worried about stopping the tablets in case the spots came back. It became a vicious circle. I used to dread getting up in the morning, apprehensive of what I would see.
I was never successful in finding a complete skin care routine that addressed my problems. I expected to have spots for the rest of my life.
Luckily I saw your article in a magazine and decided to 'give you a try'. Believe it or not, as promised by you, in a very short time my 'problem skin' was no longer a problem, and hasn't been ever since.
So now, as I approach my 40th birthday I look happily into the mirror each morning fully confident of a natural healthy skin which doesn't need to rely on makeup to conceal it.
Thank you Helen, your System has made a huge difference to my self-image. May you continue to help others as you have helped me.
Very best wishes,”

Barbara.

“I have been meaning to write to you since receiving your help. Thank you for your wonderful service and products. Even though I am on the other side of the world, they arrived so quickly. Well as you may remember from my previous letter, I was not as confident as you that your program would help me. But now I am! I am so grateful that I found you, I wish it had of been years sooner. After so many years - and so many treatments - I had tried everything in the natural field and then turned to conventional drugs - I had given up. As I told you, I was on my second course of Accutane, but after a month on your program I decided to give it up and follow your nutritional regime (vitamins etc) as well. Even on Accutane I was still getting a very red face under certain conditions; but I have not had that since after a month on your program. Everyone tells me how well I look and I feel it. I still cannot believe the difference your program has made.
Thank you again,”

Marie.

“PS I would like to add I love the makeup. I used the other products for about 6 weeks before introducing the makeup into my program and now I would not be without it! It feels so protective, natural, undetectable and comfortable to wear - unlike any makeups I have tried before, which I have always felt very conscious of wearing and used to cover up all my imperfections which were so vast it didn't work very well - plus I always reacted to them.
Thank you again.”

The Sher System Case Study
A Major Breakthrough

Acne treatment - The Sher System in action

Early in January 1999 we received a completed questionnaire from 16 year old Mark Ellis. He had already been on antibiotics with disappointing results, and was anxious to try The Sher System.

The following are his comments:

“I am 16 years old and have been suffering from acne since I was 11/12 years old. During the last year it has got worse with periods of very bad inflammation. It generally improves a bit during the summer as a result of the sun. None of the tablets I have taken have made any real difference, nor have the various ointments, creams and proprietary spot/acne treatments. I am scheduled to see a skin consultant in March who may prescribe Roaccutane. My parents found out about The Sher System and asked me to write.”

Helen writes:

"I was concerned about Mark because his was a particularly severe cystic acne condition. I phoned him and discussed my thoughts. It was agreed that if the system worked for him he would be happy to share his story with the rest of the world."

The following photos (un-altered) show the history of the exceptional improvement in a relatively short time.

January 1999		March 1999
Initial contact in January 1999. Postal analysis.		Encouraging results.
June 1999		August 1999
Continuing improvement with supplements.		Remarkable results without drugs.

Mark's mother wrote to me on 23rd June 1999.

Dear Helen,

I enclose the most recent set of photographs and negatives taken of Mark in June 1999. Mark has just finished his GCSE exams (a relief for us all!), and is currently on holiday with his father, Martin. They left the day after Mark's exams had finished and I promised Mark I would write on his behalf, to avoid further delay.

Mark, and all the family have seen a great improvement with his complexion since using The Sher System, and taking the recommended vitamin/mineral supplements etc.

It is noticeable that at times when he is not under pressure, i.e. prior to working hard for his exams - and when he has had plenty of sleep -his complexion has improved greatly compared with how it used to be - and I would say better than the most recent set of photographs shows, which were taken when he was in the middle of his exams. The stress of examinations has caused some acne to break out - but not to the degree it had done previously. Mark has worked hard for his exams and deserves to do well.

Mark is looking forward to visiting you in London and once he returns from holiday he will contact you to arrange this.

Thank you again for all your help. Mark is very keen to help others, and welcomes the opportunity to be able to do this. Many thanks.

Yours sincerely,
Sue Ellis

Mark and his family came to meet us at The Sher System studio in August and the rest is history - his confidence is restored along with his skin. How much healthier is it to use The Sher System which is safe and gentle rather than potentially damaging drugs.

Mark is an inspiration to young people everywhere, we hope his story will encourage others to follow his example.
