Acne prevention

Acne is something almost everyone has had to deal with at some time in their life. For many acne can be a lifelong problem, reducing self esteem.  Many of our customers were actually lead to the EcoAerobic Lifestyle simply wishing for "radiant skin." We have thoroughly examined the root causes of acne and have found a solution.   If the body ecology is balanced and the liver and blood are in an optimal state of health and free of toxins, the skin will NATURALLY radiate and glow. 

The root cause of most acne problems is unfriendly anaerobic bacteria, molds and fungus growing rampant inside the intestines. Candida albicans is a common fungus that is normally found on the skin and in the mucous membranes of the mouth, tongue, rectum, small intestines, colon and vagina. Candida yeast microbes travel through the blood stream and affect various parts of the body. If Candida fungus is not controlled, many problems may occur in every organ of the body. Candida albicans is an anaerobic (unfriendly) bacteria yeast infection that begins in the digestive system and eventually spreads to the other parts of the body. The overgrowth of Candida acts as an invading parasite that attaches to the intestinal walls and makes a home out of your internal organs.  This causes the body to react and creates symptoms such as allergies and skin conditions including acne.

When Candida yeast bacteria combines with fermented, undigested food as a thick substance on the villus lining, eventually the toxic secretion and the microbes themselves make way through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream. This spreads fungus through the entire body and in time every cell is compromised. The liver has to work so hard to purge anaerobic toxins, it no longer can properly digest foods, especially fats. This lack of ability to properly digest fats and having a bloodstream full of fungus is the root of the cause of acne. Antibiotics prescribed for acne causes the proliferation and growth of more anaerobic yeast and bacteria in the small intestines and colon which causes a person to experience a more intense case of acne after the temporary clearing takes place. 

In addition, when the follicles or pores of the skin get blocked by overproduction of oil or hormones, acne is caused. The sebum oil becomes blocked in the pore and bacteria begins to grow under the skin. When a person is stressed, which usually compounds after acne flare ups, the stress causes the overproduction of cortisol by the adrenal glands. This overproduction of cortisol causes the sebaceous glands to produce more oil in the skin causing oil, bacteria and toxins to become trapped under the skins surface.

As you can see, there are several key contributing factors to the problem of acne. When a person is healthy, the epithelial cells of the sebaceous glands should exfoliate onto the surface of the skin through the pores. Hormones, called androgens stimulate and control the production of the skin's oils. When there are too many androgens in the blood, the sebaceous glands begin to over produce oil in the skin. In addition, if a person is consuming an unhealthy diet, they are missing the key ingredients and nutrients which help balance hormone production. An unhealthy diet causes an overabundance of undigested fats and yeast promoting gluten-rich foods while also impairing the bodies ability to balance the production of androgens.

Here is the connection. When your body (liver, kidneys, blood and lymph) is full of toxins, your blood is not being properly cleansed and hormones (androgen) in the blood are not processed out by the liver, leading to an over production of oil trapped toxins and bacteria in the sebaceous skin layer- acne inflamed skin cells. This is what we call a whitehead. When the whitehead is deep and hard it is called cystic acne. A small whitehead can release the oily toxic contents without causing a major rupture in the skin. If the follicles of the skin are ruptured by picking, the skin inflammation can cause more acne to build and explode toxins and sebum into neighboring follicles. This is the primary reason a person should not pick at their face when it is breaking out.

We see the acne problem as both hormonal and intestinally based. Both of these elements can be greatly helped with our EcoAerobic Formula. We have developed an approach which will detoxify your body all the way to the cellular level of every organ. This degree of detoxification can only be accomplished through alkaline forming practices and building the intestinal ecology to a dominant residence of friendly Aerobic bacteria.
