Hi , 🙂
Â
Quick mom update
My mom's been moved to rehab for about 3 weeks. They gave her some hydro-morphone (morphine) again because her back was sore. Key word is
again, the withdrawal was nasty when they gave it to her 2x a few weeks ago - made her hallucinate and a little psychotic. They won't be doing that anymore.

Now onto my other topic!
Â
Skin, Kidneys and Gut
I've been noticing that many people are
having skin issues. That's because the skin is overwhelmed with toxins and waste the body hasn't been able to process. Interestingly enough, in Chinese medicine, the large intestine manifests on the skin! The skin, being the body's largest detox organ, will often be the first organ to show some imbalances when detoxification is impaired.
So that's one connection!

Did you also know:
- the skin eliminates 1 pound of waste a day via the sweat glands
- almost 9 pounds of dead skin cells are shed each year (that's actually where a lot of our dust comes from - yuck!)
- the skin renews it self
every month
- The skin is also known at the 3rd kidney - it takes on any excess toxin processing when the large intestine is impaired.

Ways to support your skin:
- Skin brushing. It's simple, cheap and improves circulation.
- Make sure your bowels are moving - take the transit test. East some corn, sunflower seeds (without chewing) or something you'll be sure to see. Record how long it takes to show up in your stool. Should be less than 24 hours but not faster than 14.
- Take kidney support / drainage
- Take liver support /
drainage
- Identify what's overloading your system
