Causes and treatment of protein malnutrition
In the treatment of skin problems, we have found that the skin regeneration of our patients on a gluten-free diet during the skincare protocol is more intense and almost half the number of treatments is enough to normalise their complexion compared to those who also consume gluten.
Gluten intolerance affects 1% of people, yet we see that a gluten-free diet can be an excellent way to help manage skin conditions.
Gluten intolerance is a disease where the body lacks the enzyme that digests gluten. Gluten toxicity is not a disease, but rather a form of protein toxicity. Through manipulation and cross-breeding, cereal varieties with a strong gluten structure have been created that are highly resistant to weather and infection, but which people can barely or not at all digest. This is often exacerbated by the use of anti-digestive chemicals in the pre-treatment of the cereal crops.
Undigested gluten in the small intestine starts to rot and causes inflammation in the intestinal tract, leading to further digestive problems, metabolic disorders and absorption problems.
Undigested sugar, when it reaches the large intestine (where it shouldn't), can multiply pathogenic bacteria, disrupt healthy, protective gut flora and block the immune system. Allergic processes are triggered, and eventually the autoimmune response in the body's tissues is damaged, resulting in the immune system eventually attacking the body's own cells.
Super-sensitive people, like other toxins, are more likely to react to toxicity.
This is most quickly visible on the skin in the form of increased hairiness, rough skin, increased sebum production or even abnormal pigmentation. Then, the amount of C-reactive protein rises in response to inflammation, cholesterol levels rise and calcium begins to build up in the artery walls, causing blood pressure to rise. Gluten and an amino acid called glutamine also play a critical role in the process of cancer development.
The majority of people with skin problems are not actually sensitive to gluten, but rather because of their more sensitive skin type, the adverse effects are more intense and occur sooner.
My experience is that there is life after wheat flour. Not just the skin, but the whole body breathes a sigh of relief when we balance our gut.
