Your skin is the largest eliminatory organ in your body. It functions as a barrier to the outside world, yet it has the ability to absorb nutrition. It acts as your body’s cooling system and also assists in the maintenance of your skeletal system.
The glands in your skin assist in keeping it flexible and moist, as well as assisting in the regulation of body fluids and wastes. The hairs on your body are nourished by your skin, and help maintain temperature to a degree as the erector papilla muscles can force the hair to stand up and insulate the skin.
The oils in your skin assist in preventing loss of cellular fluids. This is seen when a person receives a serious burn. One of the greatest concerns is dehydration due to the loss of fats which burned. Since water and fat don’t mix, it’s easy to see that these fats resist excess loss of body fluids.
Your skin can absorb nutrients, especially if they are fat soluble. Years ago, I heard of a child being kept alive with olive oil massages after his esophagus was destroyed drinking lye. Garlic oil is quickly absorbed through the skin and shows up on the breath within minutes.
The concern over skin absorption is that of absorbing toxins through the skin. Chemicals used as pesticides which affect the nervous systems of insects can transit through the skin and impact our nervous system. Solvents used to break up grease can disrupt the fats in the skin and allow toxins to enter the body. For this reason, we see where mechanics have begun to wear gloves when working in solvent tanks. I have one person in mind who currently is suffering severe dementia. The many years working in solvents could have set the stage for his present condition.
The oils in your skin are critical for the manufacture of vitamin D. Your skin can actually synthesize cholesterol for the manufacture of vitamin D when irradiated by the sun. As we all are aware, vitamin D is required to maintain bone integrity as well as in providing adequate calcium to the white blood cells for immune support, and for the muscles to contract and relax properly. A low fat diet can create more skin problems and a host of other conditions.
When we think of the microbiome, we usually think about the vast array of bacteria lining our intestines. What is often forgotten is the microbial garden growing on our skin. Without the healthy bacteria on the skin, it’s not uncommon to see fungal infections in various places with heat and moisture like under the breasts, arm pits, groin, and between the toes. This can flare after antibiotics just as it can in the gut. Excessive hand washing can also allow for changes in the bacterial garden of our skin. The use of some of these hand sanitizers can damage your skin if used too often. I avoid them.
I recently saw a patient with cellulitis that was triggered by having a tattoo. Evidently the artist went too deep and potentially drew bacteria from on the skin into the skin. It was communicated that there was a lot of bleeding with the application. I often wonder with the excessive tattooing which the public has yielded to, what kind of long term problems may be down the road as the pigmentation of the skin is being altered. Will it impair proper cholesterol balance or vitamin D synthesis? Will it alter how permeable the skin is to the outside world? Those questions are enough for me to decide to keep the look of my skin the way it came.
If there’s damage to the skin resulting in leakage of DNA from skin cells into the circulatory system, the body will make antibodies against skin DNA to protect all the other organs from creating skin cells from the skin blueprint circulating in the blood. This means that if there’s damage to skin somewhere, the immune system will attack healthy skin which is leaking its DNA. This can create a chronic skin condition which nothing much can help. Here’s where I bring in the DNA orally to stop the attack, while using nutrition to restore damaged skin cells. The most important nutrient for this is vitamin A, the skin vitamin.
Skin issues can be one of the most stubborn of conditions to treat. Herring’s law of cure states that the body heals from the inside out, from above to below, and in the reverse order of occurrence. This means a long standing skin condition on the feet or legs will be the last condition to heal after any more recent conditions internally and toward the upper aspect of the body.
Healing the entire body is important, with the primary focus on restoring nutritional balance. If there is an autoimmune condition from lymphatic blockage, restore lymphatic drainage and use the appropriate DNA support (protomorphogen) to stop the attack.
