Acne Bacteria and The Acne Environment

Copyright © 2007 Mike Walden

Propionibacterium acnes, or p acne bacteria, the bacteria we all

have on our skin is an essential life form. Like all life forms

it fights to survive and sustain their lives. Surprisingly, these

microscopic creatures that conventional medicine taught us to

believe are the cause of acne, are actually a small part of the

acne puzzle and a vital player in sustaining our inner balance

and the health of our skin.

Acne bacteria are not contagious and everyone has acne bacteria

on their skin, regardless if the individual suffers from acne or

not. Streptococcus bacteria, for example, exist in everyone's

throat, but it doesn't always cause a strep throat or

tonsillitis. The reason is that similar to the acne bacteria

these bacteria will not trigger the formation of a strep throat

(or acne in the case of the acne bacteria) unless the specific

condition or the right " environment " is created.

It is important to know that as long as the acne bacteria stays

in balance with your internal system, acne bacteria will " mind

their own business " and will defend the body from colonization of

harmful bacteria. Acne bacteria feed themselves from the

secretions of our sweat and sebaceous glands, and in a balanced

biological state, sustains the flexibility of our skin.

Acne is an environment that forms only when the production of

sebum on the skin is excessive. This excessive production of oil

is triggered mainly by hormonal imbalance.

When blood toxins (usually blood toxins that are expelled through

your skin) are mixed with this over production of oil, the p.acne

invades the hair follicles and starts to multiply. The P. acne

multiplies by feeding themselves of the oil using enzymes. As

part of this feeding process, acne bacteria produces free fatty

acids that irritate the skin. The body calls the white and red

blood cells to defend itself. The red and white blood cells

often cause an inflammatory response, that results in the

familiar symptoms of acne: swelling, pus, whiteheads, nodules and

pustules.

Killing the acne bacteria using antibiotics is a fruitless and

destructive approach. Taking antibiotic is destructive because it

upsets the natural balance of the P.acne in our body, eradicates

the good probiotic bacteria and enables the intrusion of harmful

bacteria to skin. Taking antibiotics is fruitless because

constant intake of antibiotics will eventually cause the p.acne

to become resistant to antibiotics. It is a fruitless approach

also because it doesn't stop the environment that caused the

P.acne to multiply.

The only way to stop acne permanently is to neutralize the acne

environment (when the bacteria multiplies and feeds on blood

toxins and excessive production of oil). To stop acne, you must

balance oil secretion and discharge your body from accumulated

toxins and control the nutritional, hormonal, psychological and

environmental triggers.

The secret for permanent clear skin is therefore, neutralizing

all the factors that form the acne environment while keeping the

p. acne bacteria at an optimal balance.
