Skin Conditions
Although we see the skin as a thin protective covering of our whole body, it is a most sophisticated organ in it own right. There are over 2000 different chemicals produced by your skin. They have an influence on your mental and emotional health, your physical health and wellbeing. They are intimately involved with your immune system, hormonal system, your body's thermoregulation, circulation, inflammatory reaction, hormonal system, vitamin production and toxin elimination.
From the very early stages of cell division in the development of a fertilised egg, some of the cells migrate inwards to form the nervous system and others migrate outwards to form the skin. Through out development and later life, these cells are still quite closely related. This is why skin conditions, such as eczema, are often associated with a mix of mental, emotional and chemical stress of many kinds. Just to treat the skin superficially is seldom a very effective way forward. We usually need to be aware and able to address all the contributory aspects of the problem if we are to find a lasting cure.
How often do you hear the statement, "you are what you eat"? Your skin is very often the first indication that you may need to modify your diet, increase or lessen your quota of acid or alkaline foods or maybe take a short course of vitamin or mineral supplements to bring your body chemistry back into balance. Like with any other physical or emotional illness, the Rêve Integrated Health System brings together a myriad of different therapies to correctly diagnose and treat skin problems. These may include Applied Kinesiology (Manual Muscle Testing), Flower Remedies or Homeopathic Remedies. Skin conditions such as Eczema often belie deeper issues and for this reason, we at The Rêve Pavilion will always look at the skin as the symptom and not the problem.
Here are some comments from patients:
I came to Mark with skin allergies, which he solved very successfully within 2 months when no-one else could. I now come every 2 months for an MOT & he keeps me healthy! Great! - Wendy Forster-Scorgie
I first came to Mark on the recommendation of a friend who had been diagnosed with post-viral syndrome and told by doctors that there was no cure to her fatigue and flu-like symptoms. Within a month of seeing Mark, she was back on her feet. Having suffered from a litany of problems - back, allergies, eczema - I decided to give it a go. Mark doesn't give a label to problems - he seeks solutions to underlying problems and the holistic approach is so much more logical and natural than prescribing a cream or tablet for a symptom, which can exacerbate rather than treat the problem. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark's treatment to people with complete confidence. - Joni Pegram
