 By: Gleason Center Editors, Dr. Daniel Gleason DC Many people report having skin problems and like most other health problems they stem from 1) not having all the required nutrients or 2) eating or being exposed to toxic or irritating compounds. Skin is one of the body’s largest organs and it is composed primarily of proteins and fats. It is constantly bathed in secretions from our oil, sweat and sebaceous glands. These emollients, anti-bacterials and lubricants are made from the foods and supplements we eat. When it comes to your skin, you are what you eat.

 By: Gleason Center Editors, Dr. Daniel Gleason DC Detox is how we rid ourselves of the nasty chemicals that are in our environment. Without it we would soon succumb to toxic overload. While your liver and kidneys do most of the work, your skin, lungs, and intestines also do their share.
How do we accumulate toxins on the first place? Our industry produces thousands of different chemicals, most of which have not been tested for safety. Our air, water, food and skin-care products are full of chemicals that are foreign to our bodily systems. Luckily we are like self-cleaning ovens and we’re able to excrete most of these poisons as fast as we take them in.  By: Gleason Center Editors, Dr. Daniel Gleason DC This month’s article is taken from a presentation that we have done in our office hundreds of times. After learning about how their body works, women of all ages invariably respond with: “Why didn’t anyone explain this to me before?” A women’s reproductive cycle is a miracle of nature, something to embrace and even enjoy, not to dread.
