Dandruff: A Sign Your Body Is Clearing Out What It Can’t Keep Inside

Dandruff is often treated as if it were a mysterious scalp problem, an infection, or something to be suppressed with medicated shampoos. In reality, dandruff is simply one of the ways the body releases internal waste when the primary detoxification pathways are overloaded. It’s not a disease and not a flaw in the scalp. It’s a natural eliminative process that tells you more about what’s happening inside the body than on the surface.

The skin is the largest eliminative organ. When the bowels, kidneys, and lungs are burdened by a higher level of waste than they can comfortably process, the body turns to its secondary route of elimination: the skin. The scalp, being warm, well-supplied with blood, and rich in oil glands, becomes an efficient place for the body to offload excess toxicity. The result is accelerated shedding of dead cells mixed with metabolic waste, which we see as white or yellowish flakes.

Many people are told dandruff is caused by fungi or bacteria. These microbes are not the cause; they are simply recycling what the body is removing. If you clean up the internal environment, the microbes disappear because their food source disappears. The mistake is in blaming the delegates instead of addressing the waste load that attracted them in the first place.

Dandruff tends to appear when the digestive and eliminative systems are under strain. The most common contributors are dehydration, heavy or congestive foods, processed fats, cooked starches, animal products, alcohol, stimulants, and stress. These create a level of metabolic waste that the body cannot safely retain. When the bloodstream becomes burdened, the skin steps in to help. The scalp can become one of these safety valves, shedding debris the body wants out quickly.

The solution is not to attack the scalp with harsh shampoos or try to stop the flakes from appearing. Suppressing an eliminative response only forces the waste back inward, where it can affect more vital systems. Simple changes can make a significant difference: more fresh fruit, more raw foods, deeper rest, natural sleep cycles, sunlight, movement, and less of the heavy foods that slow the system down.

When the terrain becomes clean and the natural elimination pathways are functioning smoothly, the scalp returns to a normal, steady rate of cell shedding. The flakes disappear because the body no longer has excess to remove. There is no need for treatments, potions, or medicated products. There is only a need to support the body so it can return to balance.

Why the Allopathic Route Fails… and Why Natural Hygiene Works

Most people never question the standard medical approach to cancer and chronic illness. But when you step back and look honestly, a clear pattern appears.

Allopathic medicine focuses on attacking the body.
Chemotherapy, radiation, endless drugs… they all aim to suppress symptoms or destroy cells. Yet these treatments are some of the leading causes of immune collapse, organ failure, and rapid decline. In many cases, people don’t die from “the disease” but from the treatment itself.

When you poison the body, burn the body, or shut down its natural responses, how can it possibly heal?

Natural Hygiene sees the body differently.

It recognizes that cancer and chronic illness are not invaders to be destroyed but signs of long-term overload and internal imbalance. They are the result of years of stress, toxicity, improper food, poor rest, and a lifestyle disconnected from nature.

Instead of attacking the body, Natural Hygiene restores the body.
It works with your biology, not against it.
It removes the cause instead of managing the symptom.
It supports detoxification instead of blocking it.
It trusts the body’s intelligence instead of overriding it.

And when you give the body the right conditions
– clean hydration
– water-rich foods
– deep rest
– proper elimination
– sunlight, movement, peace
the body does what it is designed to do.
It heals.

This is why so many people decline after medical treatment, yet thrive when they finally return to nature.
Because healing isn’t complicated.
It’s biological.

A banker once said that bicycles are destroying the planet.

Everyone laughed — until he explained why.

“A cyclist is a disaster for the economy,” he said.
“They don’t buy cars or take out loans to pay for them.
They don’t pay for insurance or petrol.
No parking fees. No garages. No expensive repairs.
They cause fewer accidents, don’t need highways…
and worst of all — they stay healthy!”

Healthy people don’t buy many medicines.
They rarely see doctors or visit hospitals.
They don’t help the GDP through sickness.

Now look at the other side:
Every new McDonald’s creates about 30 jobs — including
10 cardiologists,
10 dentists,
10 nutritionists,
…and the staff who serve the food that keeps them all busy.

So which do you choose?
The bicycle — or the burger?

Sometimes what’s bad for the economy is exactly what’s good for the planet… and for us.

PS: Walking is even worse — pedestrians don’t even buy bicycles! 😊

For many years, science labelled the appendix as a useless leftover, a small pouch with no real purpose. But nature makes no mistakes. Every organ has meaning, and the appendix is one of the clearest examples of nature’s intelligence.
The appendix serves as a protected sanctuary for beneficial bacteria, preserving a healthy internal environment. These microscopic helpers assist in maintaining cleanliness throughout the digestive tract, recycling waste and supporting the renewal of tissues.
When the body goes through crisis such as diarrhea, food poisoning, antibiotic use, or deep detoxification, much of the intestinal flora can be lost. The appendix quietly safeguards a reserve of these vital bacteria. Once the disturbance has passed, this backup colony repopulates the colon, restoring digestion, absorption, and elimination.
From a Natural Hygiene perspective, this reveals the depth of the body’s design. There is no need for external interference or artificial supplementation. With rest, fasting, natural food, fresh air, and pure water, the lymph system, stem cells, and bacteria collaborate to rebuild and cleanse the internal terrain.
The appendix is not an outdated organ. It is an essential part of the body’s self-renewal system, reminding us that nature’s design is complete and purposeful. Every function within the body works in harmony when we allow it the conditions to do so.
---
When the Intestine or Appendix Becomes Compromised
When the appendix or intestines are congested, inflamed, or obstructed, the flow of waste through the body slows down. This prevents efficient elimination and leads to a build-up of decomposing material within the bowel. The result is internal pollution, where toxic substances begin to leak back into the bloodstream.
In this state, beneficial bacteria are reduced while waste-feeding microbes thrive. The blood becomes overloaded with impurities, forcing the liver, kidneys, skin, and lymph system to take on extra work. This internal burden is what Natural Hygiene calls autointoxication — self-poisoning through reabsorption of waste.
Over time, this toxic condition can express itself through a wide range of ailments, depending on the body’s weakest points.
Conditions That May Arise from Intestinal or Appendix Toxicity
Constipation and irregular bowel movements
Gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort
Appendicitis (as a result of an already toxic bowel)
Hemorrhoids and a**l irritation
Irritable bowel symptoms and colitis
Headaches and brain fog
Skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, or rashes
Chronic fatigue and low energy
Joint and muscle pain, arthritis, and stiffness
Sinus congestion and mucus build-up
Bad breath and coated tongue
Emotional imbalance, irritability, and mood swings
Lower back pain or pelvic discomfort
Circulatory and lymphatic stagnation
Liver stress and sluggish bile flow
Kidney strain and fluid retention
Disturbed sleep and nervous tension
These are not separate diseases but expressions of one underlying cause — systemic toxicity from impaired elimination.
Returning to Balance
When we rest the body and remove the causes of irritation, its natural intelligence takes over. Fasting, pure hydration, sunlight, and clean natural foods allow the lymph system to drain and the intestines to renew. Once the internal terrain is clean, the appendix can once again serve its true purpose: holding the blueprint of healthy bacterial life, ready to restore balance after any crisis.

Where Do Non-metabolic Toxins Come From?
In the past, food was grown naturally using organic methods such as compost, manure, and natural pest control. However, in today’s world, this traditional way of farming is rapidly disappearing. Instead, we are consuming heavily processed, refined, and packaged foods filled with preservatives, additives, and artificial chemicals. Factory-farmed meat, fish, and dairy products have become the norm, further increasing our exposure to harmful substances.
Modern Farming and Food Contamination
One of the biggest sources of toxins in our food today is the industrial farming system, which relies on:
Pesticides and herbicides – Chemicals used to kill pests and weeds but which remain in the food we eat.
Synthetic fertilizers – Chemical-based fertilizers that alter soil composition and introduce harmful residues.
Growth hormones and antibiotics – Given to livestock to increase production but later consumed by humans.
Environmental Toxins: The Invisible Threat
Beyond food, we are surrounded by environmental pollutants that further add to the toxic burden on our bodies. Some of the most common sources include:
Air pollution – Vehicle emissions, industrial fumes, and airborne chemicals release toxins such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter into the atmosphere, increasing respiratory diseases.
Water contamination – Agricultural runoff, factory waste, and plastic pollution introduce pesticides, heavy metals, and microplastics into rivers and drinking water sources. Even chlorine used for water treatment adds chemicals to what we consume daily.
Household toxins – Many everyday products, from cleaning supplies to cosmetics, contain harmful chemicals like parabens, phthalates, and formaldehyde, which are absorbed through the skin and inhaled.
Plastics and packaging – BPA and other chemicals found in plastic containers and food packaging can leach into food and beverages, disrupting the endocrine system and increasing toxic load.
The Accumulation of Toxins in the Body
These toxins do not simply pass through the body unnoticed. Over time, they accumulate in fat cells, organs, and tissues, leading to:
Weakened lymph function – Making the body more susceptible to inflammation and disease.
Hormonal imbalances – Disrupting metabolism, reproduction, and mood.
Neurological issues – Affecting brain function, memory, and mental clarity.
Digestive distress – Causing bloating, inflammation, and gut dysfunction.
Chronic fatigue and pain – As the body struggles to eliminate accumulated waste.

While avoiding all toxins is impossible, there are steps you can take to minimize exposure and support natural detoxification:
Choose organic foods whenever possible.
Drink distilled or filtered water to eliminate chlorine, heavy metals, and pollutants.
Avoid plastic packaging and opt for glass, stainless steel, or other non-toxic materials.
Use natural cleaning and personal care products free from synthetic chemicals.

Rethinking the “immune system”

Look at the image. Instead of a war scene, see a housekeeping team.
• Macrophage in the center: not a fighter, a cleaner. It engulfs waste, damaged proteins and toxins. The label “antigen” simply means material the body wants to process and remove.
• Processed antigens: bits of debris being sorted so they can be cleared safely.
• T-lymphocyte → Activated T-lymphocyte: coordinators that help regulate detoxification and tissue repair, not attackers.
• Cytokines: messages, not villains. They signal rest, fever, mucus flow, skin eruptions or fatigue so the body can complete its clean up.
• B-lymphocyte → Antibody-producing cell: tagging and packaging waste so it can be carried away, part of orderly housecleaning.
This diagram shows a cleaning and repair system maintaining internal harmony. Symptoms are usually the body doing intelligent work. Support the process with the right conditions: fresh air, deep rest, sunlight, pure water, simple whole foods, emotional ease, movement, and removal of toxic habits.
Your body already knows how to heal when you let it.

Anaerobic Infections: When the Body Turns Stagnant

In Natural Hygiene, disease is not caused by invading germs but by a disturbed internal environment. Microbes do not create disease—they thrive in the waste and debris left by unnatural living. Anaerobic infections are a perfect example of this principle.
An anaerobic infection occurs when bacteria that thrive without oxygen multiply in stagnant, oxygen-deprived tissues. From the terrain perspective, these microbes are not villains; they are nature’s recyclers, breaking down toxic waste that the body has failed to eliminate. The problem lies not in their presence, but in the conditions that invited them.
When oxygen levels in the blood and tissues fall—through fatigue, toxicity, poor circulation, or injury—the body’s inner terrain becomes acidic and depleted. This low-oxygen environment signals anaerobic bacteria to move in, to assist the breakdown of dead or dying material.

Anaerobic bacteria such as Clostridium or Bacteroides exist naturally within the human body in small numbers. When waste accumulates and oxygen falls, their population increases. They feed on decomposing material, helping to remove what the body cannot. In this sense, they are agents of purification, not enemies.
By understanding them as part of the healing process, we stop waging war against our own biology.

Natural Hygiene does not seek to fight bacteria but to change the environment that allows them to multiply. When the terrain becomes clean and oxygen-rich, harmful microbes naturally recede because their purpose is complete.
-Cleanse the Blood
Adopt a diet of raw fruits, leafy greens, and pure water. These foods alkalize the system and restore oxygenation. Eliminate mucus-forming and processed foods that suffocate the tissues.
-Fast and Rest
During fasting, the body diverts energy from digestion to healing. Circulation improves, and oxygen reaches areas that were previously stagnant. Fever and inflammation subside naturally as cleansing completes.
-Improve Breathing and Movement
Gentle outdoor movement and deep breathing exercises enhance oxygen delivery and lymph flow. Nature’s air and sunlight are powerful disinfectants that no medicine can replace.
-Support Natural Elimination
Allow the body to release waste through the skin, bowels, and lungs. Avoid suppressive drugs or ointments that block these outlets.
-Cultivate Calm and Restful Living
Stress constricts blood vessels and limits oxygen flow. A calm mind is an oxygenated body.

With these steps, the body restores its internal cleanliness, and the bacteria simply retreat. The infection resolves not because it was killed, but because its job was finished.

Ultra-Processed Foods – What Are We Really Eating?
Dr Chris van Tulleken calls ultra-processed foods (UPFs) industrial formulations — products built in factories using ingredients you’d never find in your kitchen. Think preservatives, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorings, and flavorings designed to make food last longer, taste stronger, and feel smoother.
Here are some everyday examples:
🍯 Breakfast cereals – Refined grains blasted under heat and pressure, sprayed with sugar, flavorings, and “vitamins.”
🥤 Soft drinks – Carbonated water mixed with refined sugar or artificial sweeteners, flavorings, and preservatives.
🍗 Chicken nuggets – Mechanically separated meat turned into paste, padded with fillers, coated, fried, and frozen.
🍜 Instant noodles – Refined flour fried in palm oil, with salty, chemical-laden flavor sachets.
🍞 Packaged sliced bread – Refined flour plus emulsifiers and preservatives to stay soft for days.
🥔 Crisps – Fried in refined oils at high heat, flavored and sealed in nitrogen-filled bags.
🍫 Chocolate or candy bars – Refined sugar, hydrogenated oils, emulsifiers, and artificial flavoring.
Each stage of “processing” strips away nutrients and adds chemicals that keep the food shelf-stable but body-unfriendly. The result? Food that feeds cravings instead of cells.
If you want to eat closer to nature, choose foods your great-grandparents would still recognize: whole fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, and fresh produce that need no ingredient list. 🌿

The White Powder That Destroyed Nations (and Still Does)
It’s a white crystalline powder.
Once smuggled from the Far East, sold at the equivalent of $12,000 per pound.
Its first users became hooked — body, mind and mood collapsing under its spell.
Not co***ne. Not he**in.
Sugar.
What began as a luxury for the rich is now an addiction of the masses.
Today, the average person consumes their own bodyweight in sugar every year — about 50 teaspoons a day. Most of it hidden in so-called “healthy” foods and drinks.
And what has it bought us?
Obesity, fatigue, depression, anxiety, diabetes, and heart disease.
The same white crystals that once symbolized wealth now quietly rob vitality from every home, every lunchbox, every coffee cup.
Sugar doesn’t just feed your taste buds — it feeds disease.
It exhausts your pancreas, acidifies your blood, weakens your defenses, and hijacks your brain chemistry like a narcotic.
Nature never designed us to live on stimulants.
Real sweetness comes from fruit — alive with fiber, enzymes, and biophotons.
That’s the kind of energy your body recognizes.
Heal the addiction. Return to nature’s design.
Your body already knows what real nourishment feels like.
Join me and many others on the path of lifelong health, learning to tap into the Inner Body Wisdom through Stillness/BCST and Natural Hygiene principles.

Herbs Belong in the Past — Not the Present of True Healing

Herbs have their place — in the garden, in the museum of human curiosity, and in school science experiments. They are fascinating examples of how plants produce complex chemical compounds, often to defend themselves or attract pollinators. Studying those reactions can be a great lesson in nature’s intelligence.

But true healing does not come from bottles, brews, or extracts. It comes from life itself — from obeying the same laws of nature that create health in all living beings. Rest, clean air, sunlight, pure water, fruit, peace, movement, and trust in the body’s design are the real healers.

Often enough, these "herbal remedies", including various herbal teas, are not only irritants, but also straight toxic. When we rely on herbs to “treat” symptoms, we are still following the same logic as the medical system — trying to fix effects instead of removing causes. Whether the remedy comes from a pharmacy or a plant, it is still a stimulant, not a restoration of harmony.

Herbs belong in the past — in the pages of herbal medicine books or in the hands of curious schoolchildren learning how nature works. But the present and future of healing belongs to those who return to nature’s simple, unchangeable truths.

True healing comes from nature, not from mixtures or tinctures.
