Bowel Toxaemia and Skin Health |
|
|
Bowel toxaemia is caused by improper bowel functions; the most
common reasons for this are normally caused by an unhealthy
lifestyle, a deficient diet and ignoring the natural urge to
defecate. Harmful bacteria replace the beneficial bacteria that
are in the bowel due to a deficient diet and not evacuating the
bowel properly. This in time leads to bowel toxaemia.
Intestinal obstruction and a certain type of diet result in
bowel toxaemia, bacteria in the lumen produce various toxic
chemicals. There one of two ways in which these toxins are
absorbed into the bloodstream. In the first instance, the liver
cannot detoxify all the toxins present and the toxins escape
from being detoxified because of the insufficiency of the liver.
In the second instance, a toxin escapes the liver due to
physiological characteristic of the liver and the liver does not
detoxify it. The toxins then enter the general circulation
causing harm until it is excreted by the kidneys. The toxin
aggravates previous existing conditions or produces pathological
changes in the tissues.
Bowel toxaemia leads to autointoxication, when the body absorbs
too much of toxic waste it leads to what is known as
autointoxication. A toxic bowel produces many chemicals which
cause harm to the body; the major chemicals produced are
ammonia, clostridium perfringens enterotoxin, indole, indicant,
phenol, skatole, hydrogen sulphide, aminoethyl mercaptan and
tyramine. This is the result of a faulty bowel and a bad diet,
these toxins produce undesirable consequences for the body, many
of today's illnesses and disorders are a result of
autointoxication. These illnesses and disorders include those
associated with skin health.
An unhealthy digestive system and a build up in the bowel of
toxic material can cause skin disorders such as acne, rosacea,
psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis. Next to the colon, the skin is
the second largest organ to excrete toxins. Rosacea, psoriasis,
eczema are all directly related to the cleanliness of the colon.
If the body cannot get rid of toxins through the liver or |

by
excreting them from the bowel, then it will get rid of them
through the skin causing all types of skin problems.
We are all familiar with acne; it is mainly caused by hormonal
changes as adolescence, but by having a healthy diet the skin
can be clear of bacteria which cause blackheads and acne. In
adults, acne is normally a product of poor colon health and food
allergies, also hormone imbalances in middle aged women can
cause acne.
The condition of rosacea normally affects adults between the
ages of 30 to 40, it makes the complexion in the areas of such
as the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead become red and ruddy and
red blood vessels may become more prominent. In severe cases,
the cheeks and forehead are persistently affected with eruptions
with prominent blood vessels, puffiness and redness. The eyes
maybe affected by inflammation of the eyelids and
conjunctivitis. Fair skinned people seem to be more susceptible
and the condition gets worst in time. Research has linked
rosacea to body bacteria and digestive disorders such as acid
reflux.
The group of skin conditions known as eczema and dermatitis can
affect all age groups but is common in infants. The normal
symptoms of eczema or dermatitis is dry skin which can become
hot, inflamed and has itchy skin eruptions, in more severe forms
eczema or dermatitis can make the skin become broken, raw and
bleeding. Although the condition of eczema can look very
unpleasant, it is not contagious. It is often found on the face,
wrists and on the inside of knees and elbows. It is also
associated with asthma. Eczema is not only caused by an
unhealthy bowel but also by stress, environmental factors, yeast
overgrowth, allergies and irritants such as chemicals and
detergents. Many individuals who have eczema also have low
stomach acid and other disorders such as hives and hay fever.
Dermatitis means inflammation of the skin; it is usually
associated more with external irritants.
Psoriasis is a condition that affects the skin whose symptoms
are red, inflamed skin, covered by scales which flake |
