A young woman wrote in asking about bullous pemphigoid, a blistering skin condition that often shows up in body creases—between the toes, under the arms or breasts, inner elbows, etc. What’s the cause? “Etiology unknown.” “Autoimmune.” Translation: We don’t know. But here’s the thing—your body never does something without a reason. In my practice, I don’t buy the idea that the immune system randomly turns on you. It’s not attacking you—it’s reacting to something foreign: – Medication – Chemotherapy residue – Heavy metals – Infections – Environmental toxins That’s not dysfunction. That’s defense. 🔥 What do I do for it? – 24-hour Urinalysis to identify what the body is trying to eliminate – Anti-inflammatory diet (quality fats & proteins, cut grains & sugar) – Liver & bowel support (enzymes, flushing agents, lifestyle) – Immune system nourishment, not suppression Most skin conditions—yes, even blisters like these—tie back to liver overload and gut dysfunction. If your skin is erupting, your body is expelling. Let’s figure out what and why—then support it. 📍Start with testing. Heal with purpose. You’re not broken. Your body is trying to fix something.
