Question 1

Accepted Answer

No it can not!: Cancer cells are difficult to kill that easily. Thy require powerful chemicals to kill them. Lemon juice does not have that kind of power.

Question 2

can i apply lemon juice on my face for killing ache bacteria and lighting spots and acne scars ?

Accepted Answer

You can: But expect no benefits. We have very good technology for ACNE. Probably you will benefit from spironolactone 100mg a day and tretinoin or adapalene topical. The topical comes as cream or gel in different strengths. Expect results in 3 months. Not if pregnant or kidney failure.

Question 4

Question 5

lemon juice or mederma for scars?

save the juice for salad.

Question 6

can lemon juice help tighten my vagina?

Accepted Answer

Ouch! No way!: The vagina is naturally acidic (like a lemon), and adding a stronger acid will only irritate the delicate lining. The "tightness" of your vagina is mostly determined by the way you are built, just like the size of your nose. However, you can strengthen the muscles by using vaginal weights like these (http://bit.ly/1OvWclR) or other vaginal weight lifting exercises (http://bit.ly/1Dqwacr).

Question 7

does lemon juice work as a good acne remedy?

Accepted Answer

No: I have never heard of lemon juice being used as a remedy for acne. You should see your general doctor or dermatologist who can give you prescription medications to get it better.

Question 8

does honey and lemon juice help clear up acne?

Accepted Answer

No: At best, these are adjuncts. Your mainstay of treatment is over-the-counter topical benzoyl peroxide. If you are not clear in two weeks, get with your personal physician who may add a topical retinoic acid derivative, topical clindamycin, a systemic antibiotic or some other agent. All acne can be managed nowadays and you deserve the benefits of 21st-century treatment.

Question 9

Lemon juice: There are many natural items that have properties that can help the skin. No harm in trying the lemon juice, but dont expect miracles ;)
