ACNE
​
Beneath the surface of the skin are the tiny sebaceous glands. They gather and excrete an oily substance otherwise known as sebum to maintain the health of the skin. The tiny pathway from which the sebum is excreted, becomes clogged often; creating a favorable environment for the slow growing bacterium called Cutibacterium (Propionibacterium) acnes to grow inside. The affected area then becomes inflamed, swelling up forming a pimple on the skin.

HAIR TO YOU,
IS AS LEAVES ARE TO A TREE.
​
HAIR FOLLICLES ARE TINY LITTLE ORGANS. THEY ARE COMPOSED OF 20 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CELLS. HORMONS, NEUROPEPTIDES, AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM ALL PARTICIPATE IN THE CONTROL OF TYPE OF HAIR AND GROWTH THROUGH THE HAIR FOLLICLE. THE HAIR LIFE CYCLE CAN BE BROKEN DOWN INTO 5 STAGES.
First stage : Anagen and is the active growth phase.
Second stage : Catagen is a rest stage.
Third stage : Telogen - retrogression of the hair follicle
Fourth stage : Exogen - the active shedding of hair phase Fifth stage : Kenogen -the stage between an empty hair follicle and new hair development.
THESE STAGES ARE IMPORTANT; THEY PROVIDE INFORMATION ON HOW THE BODY IS REACTING, AND EVOLVING. WE KNOW HOW TO DECODE THIS COMMUNICATION ON A SUBTLE SUBCONSCIOUS LEVEL, AND THEREFORE WE CONSIDER HAIR
WHEN MAKING A SOCIAL CONNECTION.

VITILIGO IS AN AUTOIMMUNE RESPONSE TO STRESS WHERE MELANOCYTES ARE DEPRIVED OF HORMONES THAT TRIGGER THE PRODUCTION OF THE PIGMENTS; BLACK EUMELANIN, BROWN EUMELANIN, PHEOMELANIN TRICHOCHROMES, AND NEUROMELANIN. MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONE (MSH) IS GENERATED FROM DIFFERENT CLEAVAGES OF THE PRO-OPIOMELANOCORTIN PROTEIN (POMC), A PRECURSER POLYPEPTIDE. PRODUCTION IMBALANCE OF THE PRO-OPIOMELANOCORTIN (POMC) DUE TO DECREASED PROPER STIMULATION; LEADS TO A DECREASE PRODUCTION OF MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONE WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIVATION OF PIGMENT PRODUCTION.WITH NO STIMULUS, THE MELANOCYTES START DETERIORATING, DYING, AND FINALLY DISPOSED OF BY OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. THEREFORE DECREASING THE NUMBER OF MELANOCYTES IN THE BODY
MSH IS MADE AND SECRETED IN MULTIPLE AREAS OF THE BODY EACH FOR SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS.
KERATINOCYTES IN THE SKIN PRODUCE AND SECRETE MSH WHEN ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT IN DETECTED.

LOCAL SKIN PRODUCTION OF MSH IS TRIGGERED BY PARACRINE SIGNALING
( CELL TO CELL COMMUNICATION).
LEPTIN DURING STRESS:
​
ELEVATED LEPTIN IS DUE TO A HIGHER CALORIC INTAKE THAN THE LEVEL OF FAT STORING CAPABILITIES. LEPTIN LEVELS ARE INCREASED TO PREVENT STRESS TO CELLS DUE TO OVEREATING.
DURING AN IMMUNE RESPONSE, WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNTS ARE ELEVATED. LEPTIN CONCENTRATIONS INCREASE, DECREASING APPETITE, CONNECTIONS WITH ONE'S SEXUALITY, AND INDUCING MANY OF THE KNOWN STRESS REACTIONS. THESE REACTIONS INCLUDE OTHER REACTIVE HORMONAL PRODUCTION, AND THE EXPENDITURE / STORAGE OF ENERGY (FIGHT/FLIGHT/OR PLAY DEAD).
HORMONES RELEASED DURING A STRESS RESPONSE, DO NOT ALLOW FOR THE POMC TO BE ASSEMBLED IN TO ANY OF THE TYPES OF MELANOCYTE STIMULATING HORMONES.
