Silver Bullet for Acne? - I Don't Think So!Written by Tony McGlinn
I read a report recently discussing success of project to sequence genome of bacteria that is said to cause acne, Propionibacterium acnes, and how this may lead to new ways to treat Acne.It made me think how easily we can jump to conclusions, that may not be supported by evidence, or by common sense. Don't get me wrong, I wholeheartedly support research that scientific community is doing in field of Acne, and I am hopeful that it will lead to better treatments, or better understanding of what acne treatments are likely to work. The article started by saying "European scientists have sequenced complete genome of a bacterial species involved in many cases of acne, and they're already working on potential new treatments based on that achievement". That is fine but it then continued with assumption that having found bacteria which caused acne, and decoded it's genome, it was only a matter of time before problem of acne was solved.

Any ailment or illness, no matter how major, can have a psychological element to it. Even word 'cancer' is enough to give someone a feeling of anxiety which is in itself enough to prove body and mind have an instant connection. In fact body and mind and are not two separate entities. The body and mind are one, it is only for sake of simplicity of understanding that we have labelled and thought of them as two separate parts. If you accept that mind and body can have a profound effect on each other then you will also be able to accept that if body ails, then mind has played a part in that ailing and can also play an important part in body's healing.
