Skin
The skin is the largest organ and covers the entire outside of our body. Most people know to clean the outside of their bodies and do it on a regular basis. But what they do not consider or even take advantage of is cleaning their entire body, outside and in. Let’s take a look at the stats. The outside of our bodies represents about 10% of the entire body’s cleaning area and the remaining 90% represents the inside of our body. As you will learn cleaning the inside of your body is far more important than cleaning the outside.
There are two ways in which you can stimulate and clean your body, one is externally and the other is internally. Skin brushing is a form of external stimulation and cleaning.
Skin brushing is a great method for cleaning both the inside and outside of your body. It is highly recommended for both preventing and recovering from sicknesses and injuries.
Toxic Conditions
Your skin is one of four major intake and elimination systems in your body. These systems are your:
1. Alimentary Canal & digestive system – for moving solid materials
2. Skin – eliminates water and solid materials
3. Lungs and its respiratory system for moving air and very little solid materials
4. Kidney – a water retrieval system and also remove excessive or unwanted liquids
& solid materials.
Elimination Under Normal Conditions
When all four elimination systems are functioning properly the alimentary canal (colon) is responsible for approximately 73% of all elimination and the other three make up the remaining 27%. However, during times of increased physically active your skin eliminates the majority of material in its cooling process. So the colon, on a daily basis removes the majority of solid materials when all four elimination systems are functioning correctly. And the skin removes the majority of solid materials during those times of increased daily activity. But what happens to the elimination process when things are not as they should be?
Predictably, the colon is the first system to slow down or stop. Why? Eating outside of its live cell alkaline food digestive processes. Eating the wrong foods and drinking the wrong liquids are very harmful to you. When looking for the underlying causes of sickness and disease processes the “Colon” has been linked to 92% of them. So, when you “Change your eating Habits” you “Change the quality of your health” too.
When the alimentary canal system slows down, stops, or backs up it directs its elimination materials to the other three eliminations systems. When the skin, lungs, and kidney’s pickup the overflow and they themselves become overloaded and start to malfunction. Since the skin can eliminate the most This overloading onto the skin produces a skin toxic condition.
Your “Skin” is your first indicator of a internal toxic body. When your internal body becomes toxic it will overflow into your skin causing your skin to become irritated and begin to itch. There are several main ports of elimination of the skin including your face, mouth, arm pits, inside of your upper thigh region, feet, and toe nails. Odor, another internal toxic indicator, is also eliminated from these same ports. Daily plaque build-ups on your tongue and teeth is yet another indicator of the presence of a toxic internal condition. These areas are among the first to start itching indicating your body has become toxic. This itching response is a indication that your internal body is dirty or toxic and needs to be cleaned. Scratching of this area will produce a healing process but if the internal body is dirty the itching will continue. The immediate solution is colon hydrotherapy. But the life style changes include thinking and attitude changes, diet changes, body cleaning changes, an exercise program you can easily maintain, and the responsibility of caring for your body through natural health care providers such as; any form of massage, chiropractic adjustments, colon hydrotherapy, breathing lessons, and Yoga.
Premature Skin Wrinkling & Aging
Internal toxic conditions are the leading causative factors for premature skin wrinkling and aging. And the internal toxic condition accelerates tissue aging in all parts of the body far greater than any other toxic condition including the external skin. Most ladies concern themselves with caring of their face, hair, neck, and hands. And this includes many different types of skin care treatments including toxic prescription drugs and radical surgical procedures. Had they learned the importance of internal cleanliness all of their radical treatments could have been avoided. Here is a very interesting fact about facial care. Skin brushing coupled with daily facial exercising eliminates almost all skin wrinkles and unwanted skin lines. This process tightens up the skin tissue and brings in needed blood circulations. Individuals who do skin brushing and facial exercising routinely look 10 to 20 years younger over those who do not. And sometimes these individuals even look a lot younger. If you want to look and stay younger looking also consider facial massage.
For the body to achieve or maintain optimal health the body systems must work effectively, coordinated, and in harmony with the rest of your body. We sometimes say that your body must be working on all eight cylinders. The skin provides the easiest access to immediate stimulation that activates the coordination and harmony necessary to these systems. The more important of these systems are the nervous and the endocrine systems.
Immune & Endocrine Systems
One of the keys to good health comes through the proper functioning of your immune system and the quality of its underlying endocrine system. If the endocrine system functions properly, your chances of growing sick become next to none. Properly functioning immune and endocrine systems allow your body to grow old very slowly. As you will learn the endocrine and central nervous systems, together are responsible for keeping the body healthy and vigorous through old age. So, you may ask, “What are the underlying causative problems to premature tissue aging?
Let’s take a look at them. Poor eating and nutritional habits, inactive life style or living, and environmental (internal & external) pollutions are very toxic to your body. These three primary causes, cause your body’s internal glands to become toxic allowing the onset of dis-ease and sickness. Did you know that most illnesses are directly related to internal toxic malfunctioning glands? According to statistics I have read they advise that amazingly approximately 92% of all diseases have their origin in your colon. With the colon slowed down and often times stopped the excessive toxic loads are placed onto the kidneys, lungs, and skin and create their sicknesses.
The Skin – A Vital & Complex Organ
How many know a lot about the skin or even take the time to consider it when we think about our sickness or health status? Usually people think of skin in a purely cosmetic sense. They apply creams, tonics, or lotions wanting to improve its quality and appearance. Skin is not supposed to get wrinkled or look old if you are willing to eat as close to nature as possible and do some simple exercising, such as just walking three times per week. This along with skin brushing and facial exercising will all but completely eliminate skin wrinkles. You will look many years younger and produce extra energy allowing you to become more active. Now remember that skin looks good suntanned but the high risk and dangers of skin diseases and cancer are certainly not worth it, in my opinion. The skin has many functions but some of the more recognizable are; a protective covering that guards against infections and other unwanted invasions, as well as being a solar photosynthesis collector for the necessary electromagnetic energy (Orgone energy) that runs our body. If we didn’t have it, we would die.
It Eliminates
The skin is the largest eliminative organ of the body and one of the four major intake and eliminations systems. The digestive tract, kidneys, and lungs are the other three. Over the course of a regular inactive day the skin eliminates over a pound of waste products mixed in with its sweat. In individuals who are active or in athletes who are very active the skin eliminates many times more. Sweat glands are located through out the skin’s surface and automatically eliminate unwanted metabolic waste produced. However, after the individual becomes inactive the skin slows down and performs much less. And when this individual complicates this inactive matter with tight polyester clothing and poor eating habits the skin is no longer able to perform its elimination process.
It Breathes
Another need of the skin is fresh air. The skin needs to breathe. It needs fresh air and stimulation to work correctly. Remembering to expose your body to fresh air daily for about ten to fifteen minutes is another excellent idea. Exposing your entire body is even a better idea to optimize your health. Remember that tight synthetic clothing, including polyester materials, does not allow your skin to breath. Lose fitting cotton clothing is a good choice for allowing both skin breathing and elimination.
It Absorbs
The skin also functions as an absorptive organ. Its pores are a major intake and elimination highway absorbing sun light, oxygen, vitamins, minerals, and even unwanted material such as environmental pollutions. So remember when you routinely apply toxic facial cosmetic substances to your skin, they will be absorbed into your body and internal organs. This is known as “Self-Induced” toxic material build-ups. What are some common self-Induced toxic substances? To start with let’s mention Aluminum Chlorhydrate (alum) found in antiperspirants. Aluminum is very toxic to the body, let alone your skin. Alum causes your skin pores to constrict and shutdown. Those skin areas exposed to aluminum chlorhydrate then cease to function. With proper diet, skin brushing, baking soda baths, and cotton clothing you’ll no longer need antiperspirants.
Try this simple 30 day experiment and virtually eliminate all odors from your mouth, under your arms, your feet, and your body. Greatly reduce or completely stop eating animal proteins (meat) and dairy products. It is a well known fact that people who have already done this, especially vegetarians, will tell you that they no longer have mouth, arm pit, or body odors. And because of these simple diet changes they also have little to no dental problems or body hygiene difficulties.
Our Civilized Environment
Civilized man and the environment he has created for himself is very polluted and not healthy. In fact our civilized (artificial) environment is a disease process all in itself. And those who live there are living examples of that process. Getting away from the big cities and in a more rural setting you can find natural surroundings. Natural surrounding that allow you to live a more natural life. Living with nature is how it was and still is – intended. Life’s natural processes, including your body’s functions, work automatically when placed back into mother earth’s natural settings. In this environmental setting your skin breathes, absorbs and eliminates naturally and automatically. But when you place yourself into our highly unnatural crowded civilized environment, without exception, your will need to pay careful attention to your skin and other body functions. As you start to realize that the above is very true you will begin to consider other options open to you. Remember in this process to carefully consider:
1. Live cell alkaline diets
2. Shared fun exercising activity
3. And daily skin brushing.
