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 easily. Affected areas can appear all over the body and can be very itchy but it is mostly concentrated on the arms (elbows), legs (knees) and trunk and occasionally effect the face and scalp. The current theory amongst doctors is that psoriasis is an autoimmune inflammatory response by the body's own immune system which seems to target its own cells but the exact cause of psoriasis is not known. The response makes the body replicate new skin cells at a very fast rate, 1000 times quicker than normal skin, which leads to a build up of plaque-like flakes within days. For those people who have a suppressed immune system, the symptoms of psoriasis become a lot worst. As well as an unhealthy bowel, incomplete protein digestion, impaired liver function, excessive consumption of animal fats, alcohol, stress, sugar, caffeine and lack of sunshine can make the symptoms of psoriasis flare up. However, people with the condition of psoriasis often do not want to be out in the sunshine where their condition is on show.

In conclusion, it is important to keep a clean and healthy bowel to prevent bowel toxaemia. This will prevent the skin from being affected by disease and to remain healthy. Avoiding irritants that cause skin inflammation and eating a healthy diet will help keep the skin in good condition. Cleansing the bowel and liver with a simple elimination diet and supplements such as psyllium husk powder, lecithin and acidophilus will help to combat any skin problem. Psyllium will add bulk to the diet helping to relieve constipation and removing unwanted mucous and parasites, lecithin will help to support and cleanse the liver and acidophilus will colonise the bowel with friendly bacteria stopping unwanted bacteria from causing harm. Avoiding stress and making sure that the body's pH levels are correct will also help with the prevention of skin diseases.
