The Skin.

[Guest guest]

Dear Doctors & Friends,

 

I have just gone through the very interesting post of Dr Bhate wherein he has

dealt with the psychology of disease. One paragraph therein caught my attention;

 

"Secondly, in several cases visiting him after frustrating experience

from modern medicine, the toxins surfaced on skin were clearly

visible at very start, and after proper ayurvedic blood cleanse, the

skin became normal in few days time. "

 

As we all know, the skin is the largest organ of our body. It acts as both a

protector, protecting us from the environment, and also as an eliminator,

eliminating strong toxins generated by the body as a natural process or disease

process. The skin also helps regulate the body temparature.

 

I have studied the implications of skin disease in many systems of medicine,

ayurveda, naturopathy, unani, homeopathy and also energy healing. In all these

systems it has been very specifically cautioned that skin "infections" or

diseases should be treated with utmost caution. Any mishandling will result in

driving the toxins back to the body or prevent their elimination resulting in

severe aggravations and transforming acute illnesses to chronic, life

threatening diseases.

 

In the Unani system it is said, that if skin symptoms appear during the course

of a life threatening illness it should be taken to mean that Allah is happy

with the patient and has given him/her a new lease of life. Even Reiki

practitioners observe toxins emerging as rashes on the body after the 21 day

cleansing period.

 

All the symptoms advocate "INTERNAL CLEANSING" and detoxification and abhor

external suppression. The patient is adviced a simple diet, with plenty of fruit

juices and water. He is requested to stay away from negative mental impulses.

Blood cleansing elements are administered INTERNALLY so that it aids in the

elimination of toxins.

 

Homeopathy goes so far as to say that mental and emotional imbalances manifest

as an itch on the skin. And it is this itch which, if suppressed by external

allopathic (as opposed to homeopathic) interventions, that the body is subjected

to chronic disease.

 

There are doctors, both ayurveds and homeopaths, who advise patients not to be

too worried about chronic skin ailments such as eczema or psoriasis, or demand

"instant cure" in such cases. Theses systems try to reduce the aggravations and

make the life of the patient bearable. It is often seen that the

eczema/psoriasis flares up when there is a build up of toxins in the body and

thus saves the patient and his/her internal organs from damage.

 

It is said that toxins which cannot be handled by the small intestines,

oesophagus, liver or the kidneys find an outlet in the skin which can safely

handle them as it is the strongest organ of the body.

 

I would request the learned list members to please give their valuable opinion

on the subject.

 

Love & Regards, Jagannath.
