Elevated levels of dihomogamma-linoleic acid (DGLA) resulting from a diet containing Borage oil leads to an increase in series 1 prostaglandins. PGE-1 has been shown to cause signs of acute inflammation, yet also has a negative feedback role in the case of chronic inflammation. |
Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron
See book keywords and concepts | | For some skin disorders and as a result of sun damage, abnormally generated skin cells adhere unevenly and tenaciously to the surface of skin, another problem that slows down healthy exfoliation.
Exfoliation is very important for many skin types. For dry skin, removing the excess layers of skin can help the skin better absorb moisturizers, stimulate collagen production, improve cell turnover and skin texture, and reduce the appearance of skin discolorations. |

However, no eczema cure is complete without addressing the problem internally. Many experts strongly link eczema with two internal disorders—food allergies and essential fatty acid imbalances. To help relieve your own eczema, identify and eliminate any food allergies you might have and, for an extra boost, add some healthy carrot juice to your diet, as it has been shown to both treat skin disorders and even make healthy skin better. Incidentally, these same dietary changes will also help prevent and treat acne, which is also linked with food allergies. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Some people are more prone to skin disorders than others. This is largely determined by an inherited weakness of certain internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys, lungs, or intestines. In my own case, my mother suffered three bouts of hepatitis before I was born, hence my liver was weak and started developing gallstones from a very early age. (Since I cleansed my liver, it has been healthy and vital.) An inherited weakness, however, is not responsible for the fact of disease; that is determined by the individual. | | These include allergies, age-related frailty, arthritis, asthma, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, congestive heart failure, dementia, depression, diabetes, heart attack, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disease, lupus, macular degeneration, osteoporosis, periodontal disease, obesity, skin disorders, stroke. Normally, the body's natural response to injury, irritation or invasion would never lead to such extreme illnesses. However, our modern environment bombards us with stresses that trigger the inflammation response too often. | | Several dozen skin disorders have been identified to date. However, like a mirror, each reflects the condition of the blood and the inner organs and systems. | | Drug patches, salves, shots, chemical applications, cosmetic treatments, sprays and X-rays can be extremely harmful and often exacerbate existing skin disorders. Instead, attention should be given to what is causing them.
The outer skin continues over the lips and up to the nostrils, proceeding into the innermost parts of the body. This forms the inner skin, which lines the orifices (exits and entrances) as well as the entire gastrointestinal tract. The outer skin's texture, color and appearance may reflect a nutritional deficiency or glandular malfunction. | | Anything that constantly interferes with the digestion of food can practically cause any type of illness, including, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, skin disorders, rheumatism, and so forth.
The most commonly experienced side effects are muscle pain and weakness. Dr. Beatrice Golomb of San Diego, California is currently conducting a series of studies on statin side effects. | | Hippocrates, the Greek physician, also praised honey's healing powers and came up with many honey-based treatments for ailments such as skin disorders, ulcers and sores. In World War I, German physicians used a mixture of honey and cod liver oil to treat gunshot wounds. According to John Riddle, professor of ancient science at North Carolina State University, a medical text written on papyrus from 3000 years B.C. specifies the use of honey for head wounds. He says that perhaps "the honey helped prevent swelling and sealed off the wound to keep air and infection out. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Skin Disorders: Another remarkable benefit of vitamin C is that it can reduce common symptoms and signs associated with skin disorders. Skin cancer is becoming more prevalent, resulting in the need for better sunscreens. These must protect us against ultraviolet damage.
Apparently, the ultraviolet light, after penetrating the skin, increases the formation of free radicals. It makes sense to increase the protection against free radicals by using nature's antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, and selenium. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Most sunscreen products, for example, are loaded with toxic chemicals that actually cause liver cancer and skin disorders. (A little sun is healthy for babies anyway. Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones and normal cell division.)
Don't feed your babies sugary or salty processed foods, or they'll grow up craving those things. Avoid anything with high-fructose corn syrup (like sodas), and don't feed them sweets made with refined sugar. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Test tube studies conducted on human gum tissue found that avocado helped to decrease the occurrence of gingivitis and other periodontal disease. skin disorders: A 2001 study in the Journal of Dermatology found that a cream containing vitamin B12 and avocado oil kept psoriasis outbreaks at bay longer when compared to a conventional vitamin D cream. Avocado and B12 creams are available without prescription.
HIGH CHOLESTEROL: Patients with high cholesterol were placed on a diet high in avocado for seven days. |
Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts |  Almost all skin disorders have their root in an imbalanced liver condition. Gallstones lead to circulatory disorders, which reduce the nutrient supply to, and waste removal from, the skin and prevent healthy development and normal turnover cycles of skin cells. The following marks are particularly indicative of gallstones in the liver and gallbladder:
Black spots and small or large brown patches that are the color of freckles or moles. They usually appear on the right or left side of the forehead, between the eyebrows or under the eyes. |

Drinking tomato juice, and taking a bath in it, have been advocated for eczema and other skin disorders. Some find gargling tomato juice 3 to 4 times a day provides relief from mouth ulcers. A concoction of two teaspoons of tomato juice and V* cup buttermilk, applied to burned areas and left on for about a half hour and then rinsed, has provided relief.
Throw Me a Lifesaver!
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: To date, the majority of research suggests that tomato products may be more cardioprotective than lycopene alone. |
Brigitte Mars, A.H.G.
