The skin is the body’s largest organ. It has several functions.

(1) Acts as a protective cover, shield, barrier between the body and the external environment (heat, cold, dryness, dampness, wind)

(2) Has pores, openings allowing the body to release excessive heat, energy (in the form of perspiration) and or retain heat, energy.

(3) Sebaceous glands located throughout the body in the dermis (layer of skin below epidermis, outer layer of skin) secrete sebum an oily liquid that moistens the skin and hair. It also helps the body retain heat. Acne (raised, red lesions, pustules, blackheads, etc.) is an inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands affecting primarily the face and shoulders

The skin is made from food, nutrients. There are only two kinds of foods, nutrients: building and cleansing. Building nutrients, foods (protein, fat, meat, eggs, cheese, beans, etc.) build and fuel. Cleansing nutrients, foods (water, minerals, fruit, vegetables, grains, etc.) reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten.

Long-term low protein, low fat (milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, beans, etc.) and high carbohydrate (bread, pasta, salads, tropical fruits, juices, smoothies, etc.) diets tend to cool, weaken and dilute digestion, reducing nutrient absorption, decreasing and thinning the blood (blood deficiency). Blood deficiency, in the extreme, tends to weaken, sag, thin, dry, crack and or bleed the skin producing partial facial flushing, red spots, splotches, acne, cracked skin, bleeding, pustules, eczema, exposed capillaries, blue veins and or translucent skin.

Too many building foods, protein and fat, especially animal (red meat, pork, chicken, eggs, cheese, fried foods, oil, etc.), in addition to alcohol, sugar tends to cause raised, red, hard painful, oily pimples, pus, boils and or dry flaky skin; warts, moles, psoriasis, tumors, etc. All excess sugar is turned into fat. Protein and fat build, thicken, fuel and heat. Too much tends to thicken, overbuild and overheat the blood, which in turn, overbuilds, overheats the skin.

The middle diet, meal plan adjusted accordingly is recommended. Try to eat simply and do not overeat. For deficiency, increase protein, fat (eggs, turkey, chicken, etc.), spices, cooked foods, (soups, vegetables), and a small amount of fruit (avoid tropical), for balance. For the overbuilt, eat less animal (red meat, pork, veal, chicken, etc.) and more beans, nuts, seeds, rice, vegetables, fruit (apples, pineapple, etc.). Space and or skip meals, especially dinner. Experience hunger and quench with water.

The beauty, health of the skin, starts in the inside via simple diet. From the outside, you can use good quality soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, etc. I highly recommend Aubrey Organics and Zia Cosmetics. Calendula oil is great for burns helps prevent scarring.

Eczema (cold, damp)

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory condition of the skin that produces blister like formations that weep, release fluid before forming a crust, scale and or flake. Itching may also occur. Poor diet is a major cause.

The body digests, transforms food, nutrients into blood, into structure (skin) into function, into health or disease. There are only two kinds of nutrients, foods: building and cleansing. Building nutrients (protein and fat) build and fuel. Cleansing nutrients (water, sugar, minerals, etc.) reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten. The correct amount of building and cleansing builds and maintains healthy skin (thick, firm, strong, etc. The incorrect amounts, build too much or too little skin. Too little protein and fat tends to under build, thin and weaken the skin causing it to crack, bleed and or infect.

The symptoms of eczema indicate deficiency via breakdown (falling apart). Low protein and low fat diets, in the extreme, tend to thin and weaken all structure and function, including the skin. Too many carbohydrates (pasta, bread, salads, tropical fruits, juices, etc.) tend to dilute and weaken digestion (acid, enzymes) reducing nutrient absorption (especially protein and fat), blood, which in turn, dilutes, weakens and thins everything else skin, hair, bones, memory, vision, etc.

Case history: In 1989, I developed a bad, hideous case of eczema. It first started as a pimple, blister on my index finger (left hand). Over the course of two months, it (blisters, cracked skin, bleeding, pus, etc.) spread to every finger up the back of hand to the arm. My other hand was affected eventually although not as bad. This happened while I was going to acupuncture school. It was gross. I tried every Chinese herbal remedy. Nothing worked. My skin kept getting worse and worse. I eventually turned to Ayurvedic Medicine (Ayurvedic Healing, and Yoga of Herbs by Dr. David Frawley, O.M.D.), which recommended the use of spices. My diet at the time was bland, low protein, low fat, sweet and cooling. I was living in Hollywood. Fl. I reduced juices, fruits, increased protein and fat and started cooking with spices (fennel, cumin, coriander, ginger, etc.). I always used at least five spices. Within three weeks, my eczema cleared up. My digestion also improved less bloating, gas, burping, farting, etc. I did have eczema as a teenager, although not as serious.  

Diet related eczema is simple but time consuming to cure as the skin takes time to rebuild via proper diet. The middle diet, daily meal plan, adjusted accordingly is recommended. Reduce salads, raw vegetables, tropical and citrus fruits, cold drinks, milk and yogurt

Other causes of eczema: low levels of hydrochloric acid, Candidiasis and or food allergies, all of which can all be caused by poor diet (low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate, in the extreme).

        Psoriasis (hot)

Psoriasis is a painful chronic skin disorder characterized by dry, red, scaly skin covering the scalp, genitalia, skin, etc. that alternates between exacerbation and remission. It is a disease of excess, caused in general by too much protein and fat, especially red meat, pork, hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, lasagna, oily, greasy foods (fries, chips, etc.) in addition to alcohol and sweets. Psoriasis generally occurs in conjunction with liver congestion, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, etc. The colder middle diet, meal plan is recommended.

All disease is defined by its collection of symptoms. All symptoms are defined, produced by biological functions. All biological functions are produced by biological structures (organs, bones, muscles, nerves, etc.), which in turn, are produced, maintained and cleansed by blood, nutrients.  The body, digests, transforms food, nutrients into blood into structure into function, into health or disease.

Arthritis is a generic term for inflammation of the joint that tends to cause pain, swelling, pain, redness, etc. A joint is where two or more bones join. The joint, space between the movable bones is composed of fluid sacs, in addition to cartilage (gelatinous substance that caps the end of the bones). Both act as shock absorbers.  Ligaments hold bones together.  Tendons attach muscles to ligaments. Muscles contract and expand according to their nerves, electrical supply, stimulation, which in turn pulls and relaxes the tendons, ligaments, moving the bones.

Blood, nutrients build, fuel and cleanse the muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones. Poor nutrition, diet and or poor circulation tend to reduce, thin the blood, which in turn, thins, dries, weakens, pains and or inflames the joints. Poor posture, misalignment and or injury can also adversely affect the joints, i.e. cause arthritic symptoms.

There are three types of arthritis: rheumatoid (autoimmune), gout (uric acid) and osteo (bone on bone), Rheumatoid Arthritis is more common in women (middle aged), although it does attack men. The difference is cause. Women tend to suffer from blood, protein and fat deficiency via diet and menstruation.

Many women tend to eat anemic diets: low protein, low fat (milk, yogurt, soft cheeses, beans, nuts and seeds) and high carbohydrate (pasta, bread, salads, tropical fruits, juices, etc.). Women menstruate monthly 30+ years from the first period, menarche (teen, preteen) to the last (menopause).  This combination tends to thin and weaken the blood, which in turn, thins, weakens, dries, inflames and pains everything else, especially the extremities: arms, legs, hands, feet, bones, muscles, tendons, etc

Men tend to suffer the opposite: too much, stagnant blood via high protein, high fat diets, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, congested liver, etc. restricting, reducing blood flow, which in turn, inflames, dries, thins and pains the joints: bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, etc. especially in the extremities: arms and legs.

All blood passes in and out the liver. The liver stores, cleanses (filters excess protein, fat, cholesterol, impurities, etc.) and releases the blood. High protein and high fat (especially animal) diets in excess tend to thicken the blood, which in turn, thickens, clogs and swells the liver reducing not only liver, cleansing function but also distribution, circulation of blood. Less cholesterol, fat is removed form the blood, more stays in the bloodstream, arteries, veins, heart, liver, brain, etc. Less blood is circulated as more (blood) passes into the liver (clogged, swollen) than out reducing the overall amount circulated to the rest of the body, especially to the extremities: head, arms and legs, which contain no vital organs.

The vital organs (heart, liver, lungs, etc.) located in the center of the body (abdomen and chest) command the blood. In times of drought, and or the common cold, less blood is circulated to the extremities (includes the head).

.

Inappropriate diet (overbuilt or under built) is a major cause of rheumatoid arthritis. It is also tends to cause gout, excess uric acid that accumulates in the blood and joints. Uric acid is a by-product of protein (especially animal) digestion. High protein, high fat diets, in the extreme, tend to cause too much uric acid in the blood and joints. Gout is more prevalent in western countries and or those eating high protein, high fat diets. It tends to attack men (high protein, high fat) more than women.

Osteoarthritis cannot be improved through diet or herbs. You cannot grow cartilage (separates and cushions the bones) where there is none. You can grow cartilage where there is some. Glucosamine sulfate ((1500 mg/ day) and other supplements (bovine cartilage) have been shown to grow cartilage. Solgar, Solaray, Enzymatic Therapy, Twin Lab and Natures Plus are high quality companies that research, manufacture and distribute. I owned and operated a small health food store, Food and Thought, Hollywood, Fl (1984-2001). I sold a lot of Glucosamine Sulfate and never heard a complaint, just praise. Check with your doctor before making any changes.

Dietary cures for arthritis via blood deficiency and or stagnation are relatively simple. Blood deficiency (via low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate diets) requires the hotter middle diet, meal plan (more protein and fat: red meat, chicken, turkey, etc, cooked foods, soups, vegetables and spices. Spices (cardamom, cumin, coriander, fennel, ginger, cayenne, etc.) are hot in nature. They increase digestion, improve circulation, etc.

Weak digestion transforms and transports less food, nutrients into blood.  Too many cold and damp foods, drinks (milk, yogurt, salads, fruit, juices, cold drinks, etc.), in excess and or at the beginning of a meal, tend to dilute and weaken digestion (acid, enzymes, etc.) reducing nutrient absorption, blood, circulation, etc. while increasing waste product, abdominal bloating, gas, loose stools.

Blood stagnation (clogged arteries, veins, liver, etc.) is also curable, depending on severity.  It is a disease of excess: too much protein and fat. The colder middle diet, meal plan is recommended. Reduce animal protein and fat, no more than one animal food per day and never at night. A little chicken or turkey is permissible. Eat more vegetables (cabbage) fruit (apples), drink peppermint tea, etc. Avoid alcohol. Bitter herbs (golden seal, gentian, etc.) may also help. Eat less, skip, space the meals (gives the body extra time, energy to digest excess) and do not eat late. Avoid nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant) which tend to aggravate, worsen arthritic conditions.

Hot salves (containing spices, camphor, capsicum/ cayenne pepper, etc.) used externally for reducing pain are also effective. Heat not only dries and warms but also moves. Spices, cooked foods move and warm the blood, and reduce pain via increased circulation, blood. They also help to thin the blood. Cumin, coriander and fennel are mild spices.  

Medication, blood thinners can also cause arthritic symptoms. Blood thinners not only thin the blood of excess protein and fat (includes cholesterol), but also thin the bones, skin, hair, etc. which are all fed, thickened by the same blood, protein and fat. When you thin the blood, decrease protein and fat, you thin everything else.

Women’s health is not only monitored and maintained by the foods that she eats, or the exercise she completes throughout the week, but also by the status of her sexual health.

Women’s sexual health is quite important because there are so many complications that can occur within a women’s body that could result in life-threatening consequences.

What makes some of these sexual health issues differ from a man is not only the fact that two different genitals are involved, but also the fact that women give birth, thus increasing the complications that could arise and affect a woman’s health.

Vaginal Bleeding

One of the things that affect both the sexual and overall women’s health is the presence of vaginal bleeding after sex, also referred to as post-coital bleeding. If a woman is not on her period at the time, this could be a warning sign of something that needs the attention of a doctor.

Many possible culprits could cause such an act to occur. Understanding sexual and women’s health is important because some causes of vaginal bleeding are common and can be easily treated with no future affects to women’s sexual health, while other causes can turn into life-altering complications.

Cervical dysplasia can cause Vaginal bleeding, which means that there is the presence of precancerous cells within the lining of the cervix that could affect women’s health. The risk of developing these cells is increased when a women compromises her sexual health by having sex before the age of 18; having sex with multiple partners; having a child before they turn 16 or have had a STD in the past. Cryosurgery can treat this condition, as well as other procedures before the cells turn into cervical cancer.

Cervical Polyps

Another women’s health issue deals with cervical polyps, which are growths that extend, pass the cervix or cervical canal. These fragile, red, or purple pests can be easily removed without pain.

Bacterial Infections

Two well-known bacterial infections are transmitted during sex or other contact with semen, vaginal secretions or blood. They are called chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Gonorrhea offers several treatments that can be prescribed by a doctor.

Vaginitis, also called cervicitis, is the inflammation or swelling of the cervix or vagina, which is caused by an infection. Depending on what caused the vaginitis, a treatment is available.

Trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted disease caused by a protozoan, can compromise a women’s sexual health, as well as the health of their newborn. It is possible for a mother to pass this disease onto her newborn during a vaginal birth.

One of the most common infections to affect women’s sexual health is the vaginal yeast infection, which is an overgrowth of harmless fungi that found in the vagina. The result is an odorless, cheese-like discharge accompanied by itching and burning. Three out of four women will have at least one yeast infection throughout their lifetime.

When a woman wishes to prevent this sort of infection from affecting her sexual health, a few preventive measures are available – women’s sexual health tips concerning a yeast infection include:

· Wear white cotton panties

· Use only water-based lubricants for the vagina

· Always wipe from front to back after a bowel movement

· Eat one cup of yogurt per day when on antibiotics

· Avoid bath products containing perfume in the vaginal area

· Do not douche because it creates an attractive breeding ground for yeast to flourish.

Other sexual and women’s health concerns include endometritis, uterine polyps, fibroid tumors, as well as adenomysis, which can affect the uterus and ovaries. Never ignore vaginal bleeding.

Calling a doctor immediately is the best way to solve the sexual and women’s health issues.

As you know that yeast infection home remedy has been successfully used by many sufferers for quite a long time. However, before talking about how to treat the infection as mentioned, let’s learn a little about the infection first.

Normally, the infection will happen when the bacteria, Candida, is growing in your body. This condition can be caused by many factors, such as, taking antibiotics, steroids, and contraceptive pills. Wearing tight underwear is considered to be the cause as well. It is a fact that women will get yeast infection more than 75%.

Why are many sufferers using yeast infection home remedy instead of creams or lotions? Because, in many cases, those creams and lotions can heal only the symptoms, not the root cause of the infection. This is the reason why the infection keeps returning in a short period of time. Besides, you might get some nasty side effects from using these products as well.

Now, let’s learn about some home remedies that can be used to eliminate your infection.

- Cranberry is considered to be one of the effective yeast infection home remedy. It can be easily found in the supermarket or local drugstore. In addition, you can get Cranberry in the form of pills as well. Cranberry can help building up your immune system and stop the spread of the yeast in your body.

- Apple cider vinegar can be used as your yeast infection home remedy as well. Just coat a cotton ball with apple cider vinegar and apply it in the vagina. Or you can mix this vinegar with garlic first before continue using as mentioned.

- You can use raw garlic juice by rubbing the juice on the infected area. However, you may need to put up with its smell in order to get rid of the infection as soon as possible.

- Olive leaf and grape fruit seed extract can be used as yeast infection home remedy as well. It provides the same results as using vinegar also.

- You can also apply plain yogurt directly on the infected area twice a day in order to cure the infection symptoms. Besides, eating yogurt every day can help eliminating the infection also because you are adding the friendly bacteria into your body system.

For women who are suffering from vaginal infection, aside from using yeast infection home remedy as mentioned above, they should stop having sexual activity until they are completely cured because the infection can be transferred to their partners as well.

If you are suffering from yeast infection, I don’t have to tell you about how painful and uncomfortable it can be. However, there is a good news that you can easily get rid of the infection symptoms by using just simple methods that you can do by yourself.

Yeast infection is caused by a fungus called Candida Albicans. This bacteria loves damp and moist places. So, they live in your body in the place like the vagina. They will not cause you any harm until you do something that disturb the balance of your body, then, the infection will occur.

Actually, yeast infection can happen to both men and women. For women, the infection symptoms are inflamed vagina along with the chronic itching, white discharge, pain while urinating, and pain while having sexual intercourse. For men, the sufferers may have some spots on the top of the penis, having pain while urinating, and having pain during sexual intercourse.

However, there are 3 easy tips that you can do to stop the persistent yeast infection itching.

1. Loose Fitting Underwear : If you like to wear tight underwear, you should know that tight panty will cause damp and moist to your vagina area, which is the favorable environment for yeast to grow.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar : It is a fact that you can create great sauce and salad by using this vinegar. However, it is considered to be a powerful home treatment for yeast infection as well. To use this method, just fill the bath tub with warm water, then, add two cups of apple cider vinegar in the water. After that, you can sit in the tub for twenty to thirty minutes.

3. Stop Having Sex : Having sexual activity is not recommended while you are suffering from yeast infection because the infection can be transmitted to another person. So, it is very important that you need to make sure that your infection has been treated before involving in this activity again.

These tips can help you get rid of the yeast infection symptoms until you can find the right treatment. As you know that there are many treatment methods available, so it is better that you should do more research in order to find the treatment that would compliment your needs.

Many sufferers are using medication, such as, creams and ointment, which can be found in the drug store. However, these products have minor side effects and take longer to cure the symptoms. Besides, your symptoms will keep coming back shortly after using these products because the root cause has not been treated yet.

This is the reason why many yeast infection sufferers decided to use natural treatment methods instead because they are safe, cheap, and effective. They can also be easily found in your home as well, such as, vinegar, tea tree oil, yogurt, and garlic.

If you are suffering from yeast infection, I believe that you are fully aware of how painful and uncomfortable it can be. I also believe that you do know that the infection is caused by an overgrowth of Candida Albicans. However, did you know that this kind of infection can affect all of your body parts? You should know that it can affect the mouth, skin, vagina, anus, groin, or anywhere on your body.

As you know that most women are suffering from yeast infection, but actually, men and children can get the infection as well. So, it is very important that you need to know where the infection comes from.

For your information, yeast lives in your body, and on your skin, in the form of Candida without causing any trouble. However, Candida can multiply and cause an infection when your immune system is low. Even the infection happens in the stomach or bowel, but it will soon become the skin infection also.

The other cause of the infection is that when you suffer from some kind of skin damage with a lowered immune system, there is a possibility that Candida on your skin will penetrate and create a rash. This condition can happen by wearing wet clothing, or wearing tight underwear that rub against your skin.

Using creams, or antibiotics are considered to be the normal yeast infection treatment. However, it is a fact that these creams may treat only the infection symptoms, so when you stop using these creams, the symptoms will come back again shortly. Besides, if you continue to use the same creams, it is a high possibility that the Candida will be able to build up a resistance, and this is the reason why your symptoms are more difficult to treat.

Many people are using antibiotics as their yeast infection treatment by killing the bad bacteria in their bodies. However, antibiotics also kill the good bacteria that keep the Candida under control also. Then, without good bacteria, Candida can multiply through every part of our body.

You may need to adjust your diet in order to stop feeding the yeast. Candida loves sugar, so avoiding all foods that contain sugar would be recommended. Besides, any foods which may lower your immune system and digestive process should not be taken as well.

Finally, yeast infection can be treated by using natural treatment. In order to prevent the bad bacteria from becoming resistant, a more powerful infection treatment will be needed.

You can be yeast infection free forever! Read the information on Yeast Infection Treatment and see how this can help you to treat yeast infection for good.

Are you worried you might have a yeast infection? This article will show you how you can recognise yeast infection symptoms and what you can expect. Arming yourself with information is the first step you need to take towards your recovery.

The problem occurs when Candida, a form of yeast, grows out of control resulting in an infection. There are many factors contributing to this overgrowth but the most common cause is a weak immune system.

Here are some common yeast infection symptoms in women:

1. A white or yellow discharge that has a slight smell of yeast, the discharge is thick and resembles cottage cheese.
2. Vaginal itching, this can become very persistent and can be very disturbing
3. Irritation of the vagina resulting in redness of the vulva and vagina
4. Pain during sexual intercourse
5. A burning sensation when urinating.

Many women complain with having regular occurrences of vaginal infections and these symptoms return almost regularly right after menstruation. For many women these infections are a nightmarish experience to go through.

Here are some common yeast infection symptoms in men:

1. A white discharge
2. Itching
3. Burning
4. Redness of the foreskin
5. Red sores on the penis head
