While “War of the Worlds” sets a new sales record for Paramount,this Hollywood blockbuster sends a healing message as old astime itself- bacteria are lifesavers.
Even though most microorganisms are invisible to the human eye,life, as we know it would be utterly impossible withoutubiquitous bacteria. We can all enjoy the blessings ofphotosynthesis, digestion and the formation of natural gasesthanks to the innate power of bacteria to break down substances.
Ironically, much of the anti-acne industry is built arounddestroying the widely misunderstood yet biologically necessarybacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes, or p acne bacteria.
All life forms strategize to survive and procreate. Weeds,worms, birds, fungi and bacteria all work to sustain their ownlives on this planet. In fact, we humans survive because of thebiological games constantly unfolding in our mist.
P acne bacteria are no different. They want and need to survive.Skin bacteria perform an important function. Bacteria use thesecretions of our sweat and sebaceous glands (sebum is the oilthat makes our skin look shiny) as nutrients. P acnes that arein balance with your body prevent colonization by more harmfulbacteria.
P acne bacteria only encourage acne formations if the productionof oil on the face is excessive. This surplus of oil of promptedby hormonal, nutritional, environmental and/or psychologicalchanges in the body. So to prevent acne, you do not what to killbacteria per se, but keep the amount of bacteria on your skin atan optimal balance.
You optimize your oil secretion by understanding and controllingyour response to hormonal, nutritional, environmental and/orpsychological changes.
If we upset the balance of bacteria in our bodies by takingantibiotics, our resident flora is upset and this enablesharmful bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus andAcinetobacter baumannii) to colonize on our skin. In short,using antibiotics on bacteria is a battle amongst intelligentparties involving the bacteria, the body and the human mind.
If we fail to appreciate the bacteria as bodily maintenanceworkers and continue dousing them with antibiotics orantibacterial soaps the bacteria just become more resistant toour antidotes. The bacteria are practiced at playing dead as atactic for survival.
Even people who have used the strongest acne drug on the market,Accutane, have witnessed the cunning behavior of bacteria aszits reappear some months after using this course of acnetreatment.
These people have discovered that bacteria do not die; theysilently and strategically multiply. If you do not want yourbacteria out of balance, do not provide them an environmentconducive to acne.
It’s true that bacteria have managed to wipe out entirepopulations of people. Now, Hollywood comforts us with knowingthat even aliens will fall prey to the ever-plotting or is itever-knowing bacteria. I’ll just leave you with this thought: Isthat anti-bacterial soap making p acnes smarter?
