For many who know me a bit better, I struggled with my skin: itchy, inflamed and flaky. The diagnosis of the autoimmune condition was Dermatomyositis in 2005, an inflammation of the skin and muscle tissue.
Ever since, I am trying to get on top of it, even studied Nutritional Therapy to understand what my body needs to heal.
There are so many aspects to healing. It is by no means gradual and just one thing. Incorporating it all (body, mind and sou)l takes a lot of ownership and accountability, and courage to challenge the status quo.
Since about two years I do regular gut cleanses and detoxes and nourish my body with high quality food like micronutrients and I can really see the difference it is making in my body. The section of the book that I am about to share with you confirms to me that I am doing the right thing for my body. 🙌❤
I am reading and translating a German book by Kurt Tepperwein called “Jungbrunnen De-acidificatin”. Kurt describes in detail how overacidity in our body contributes to so many illnesses. Very interesting book indeed. Happy to share it if you are interested.
Chapter 7 of the book lists over 99 acidity-related illness.
Quote from the book: Enjoy reading it.
"Skin diseases
The skin is our largest organ, weighing around 20 kilograms and covering an area of almost 2 square metres. The body also tries to get rid of excess acid through the skin.
If it does not succeed in doing this sufficiently because we do not sweat enough, eczema, pustules, lichen and acne develop.
Other possible consequences are: severe redness, excessively dry or cracked skin, constant itching, pale and dull skin, blemishes, blackheads and brown spots.
Even cellulite and connective tissue changes are at least partly caused by hyperacidity, as the body prefers to deposit excess acids in the connective tissue. Stubborn tendonitis and, of course, inflammation of the stomach, gut and mucous membranes as well as nettle rash and fungal diseases also have their origins in hyperacidity.
All these symptoms are the body's cry for help. But even serious skin diseases can be effectively improved or cured as soon as the body is deacidified. The skin is our body's natural garment. It reacts very sensitively to all environmental influences, but above all it makes the inner situation visible: true beauty comes from within. The skin and gut are closely connected, so for every skin disease it is important to ensure that the gut is in order or is reorganised. The most important step here is to de-acidify the body through alkaline nutrition and alkaline food supplements. Only then can other measures take effect.
Collagens form the framework of our connective tissue and also ensure that our skin remains smooth and elastic. However, they virtually attract acids, which causes the skin to become less elastic and age prematurely. However, this can be effectively prevented. The daily alkaline flood in particular has a very visible effect here. Regular alkaline baths also accelerate the nourishing and healing effect.
