Crazy as it may sound, some experts will tell you that your acne is a good thing, and viewed in a certain way or from a particular angle, they may have a point.
Acne is telling you that your body has a hormonal imbalance that needs to be addressed, and that if it is not dealt with, this could lead to other problems that will come back to haunt you later. For example, hormonal imbalance can be the cause of premature hair loss and even prostate problems, the latter of which can be a very serious condition.
Throughout your life, the glands of your body will produce a huge number and range of different hormones, each of which does a specific job within your body. Sometimes this job needs to be done, while at other times it is not so important, and thus the hormones that were produced to action this particular bodily function are not actually required.
They are, in effect, excess hormones that your body produced ‘just in case’ something should happen that did not in fact take place.
If, on the other hand, the hormones are ‘used’ or ‘spent’, they still leave a residue, and that residue needs to be cleared from the body if it is not to become toxic. Under most normal circumstances, the liver is more that capable of dealing with these excess hormones and the residue left behind by those that have been used or spent.
At times when the body is under strain or having to work excessively hard, however, the liver is incapable of dealing effectively with excess and spent hormones, and this is the reason that acne tends to occur at particular times. For example, adolescence is the time when the human body enjoys maximum growth, so the liver is too ‘busy’ doing other things to deal with the excess hormones being produced, and it is the same for women during their monthly cycle or the menopause.
It is a similar story with the ‘bad’ fats and oils that most people consume as part of their daily diet (to be discussed in more detail in a later chapter).
At times when the body is most under strain, the liver is simply not capable of processing and metabolizing all of the fats and oils that we eat, and these are a contributory factor in the acne chain of causation.
Of course, if this hormonal imbalance was the sole cause of acne, then everyone would suffer from acne, and as that is clearly is not the case, there must be something else going on as well.
