Impetigo
The superficial vesicles in impetigo are caused by superficial skin infection with bacteria, mostly the streptococcus or staphylococcus varieties.
These bacteria are normal inhabitants of the skin and are kept in check by the other "good" inhabitants of the skin, the probiotics of which the most renowned are lacto bacillus acidophilus and bifidus.
The balance between good and bad, delicate at the best of times, is disturbed by antibiotics, vaccinations and steroid hormones. In impetigo, which is commonest in children, the resultant localised infection of the face is mainly seen around the mouth and chin.
As with any other infection, the treatment of impetigo must focus on bolstering the immune system with the right building blocks to overall good health: amino acids, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids such as omega 3 and 6.
Of course it must also be ensured that optimum balance is maintained by addressing the factors which go against this such as toxins (chemicals, metals and radiation) which poison enzyme systems, food allergy/intolerance which affect absorption of essential supplements and use up the body's resources and not forgetting the other pathogenic organisms of viruses, fungus/Candida and parasites which can all stretch the immune system.
An Integral Health DNA Hair Test not only can identify the cause/causes of an imbalance in the body and the potential for signs and symptoms of disease; we are also able to provide the best nutrient and lifestyle recommendations specifically tailored for each unique individual, helping to ensure they are able to achieve optimum health - naturally.
It is a blueprint for healthy living.
