Gut flora

So what exactly is happening inside your body that is causing acne? For that we have to explore what's happening in your
gastrointestinal (GI) track (i.e. food digestion mechanism).

At any given point your body contains about 10 times more bacteria than you have cells.

Now this is completely normal. You live in symbiosis with those bacteria and they perform many vital functions in your body. In fact you wouldn't be able to survive without bacteria in your body.

We can crudely divide these bacteria into two categories:

 

o Probiotic or beneficial bacteria (i.e. the good guys) o Pathological or harmful bacteria (i.e. the bad guys)

Healthy human GI track contains around 85% beneficial and 15% pathological bacteria. This is when things are working fine and you are healthy and vibrant.
