Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 The skin is a reflection of your cat=s internal organs and how healthy or unhealthy they are. The skin is kind of like a mirror of what=s happening in the deep layers of the body. If your cat's internal detoxification organs (intestine, liver, kidneys) are working properly and doing their daily job of detoxification and they are not overburdened (congested), then the skin will feel soft, and look beautiful. The skin is the largest elimination organ, and it'll take over the burden of elimination when your cat is out of balance internally - when his detoxification organs are congested and cannot do their job, specifically the intestinal tract, liver, and kidneys. When the body is out of balance, it=s prone to a lot of physical problems, for instance skin problems. Animals with healthy immune systems, good digestion, and ample nutrition live relatively free of physical discomfort. When the liver is congested and cannot perform its eliminative function, waste matter (toxins) is thrown into the blood stream. Toxic blood must discharge its toxins, so nature uses vicarious avenues of elimination or substitutes. The lungs, therefore, will take over the task of eliminating some of the wastes that should have gone through the kidneys, or the skin will take over for the liver. If the bile poisons in the blood come out through the skin, we get the various irritations of the skin, such as boils, carbuncles, acne, etc. Thus, the skin is substituting for the liver, or a vicarious elimination is occurring through the skin. The best cure for your cat's skin is to eat the best diet and get his detox system working better by adding whole food supplements to support the internal organs. In terms of the diet, I would say to eliminate all grains from his diet, which are hard to digest. By supporting the immune system, supporting the digestive tract, and supplementing micronutrients and antioxidants, it will really benefit animals suffering from any type of physical discomfort. And if we don't improve the immune system, digestion, and overall nutrition, even taking them to the vet with medical intervention won't achieve the results you want, since vets normally just treat the symptoms. Keep in mind that the skin is the largest elimination organ and whatever the body is trying to eliminate through the skin, you just have to let it happen and not cover the symptoms with medications. When you understand the relationship between nutrition and health, you can understand that the miracle of healing lies in your cat's body, and all that you have to do is feed him well and give him the foundation of probiotics, enzymes, and micronutritents, and I'm sure you'll see your cat's skin becoming radiant and healthy looking, and there will be no more itchies. First, build your cat's friendly bacteria population in the intestinal tract to keep the immune system strong with Bifidus Second, since dry and canned food is processed and there is no enzymatic activity, add enzymes to aid in his digestion. And third, add micronutrients to fill in the gaps in your dog's nutrition. If you want suggestions for which products to choose please email me. The supplements I work with are based on real food and are natural and/or organic. I've personally - along with my dog and 4 cats - have used these products since 1996 and have gotten great results. Things to consider that the cat may be reacting to that result in skin irritations: Recent vaccinations? Recently treated for heartworm? (vaccinations or heartworm treatment can trigger mange or autoimmune conditions) New carpeting? New flea collar or flea treatment in area? A new bed? Food dishes plastic? (Don't use! Can cause liver stress) Pesticides/herbicides where cat walks? Toxic pet foods/treats (have they been recalled?) All animals need the foundation of supporting the immune system, supporting the digestive tract, and supplementing with micronutrients and antioxidants.
