What Is Milia?

Milia is a skin condition that can happen to anyone at anytime in life. It is most often seen in newborns, and it can be expected to rapidly disappear in these cases. The biggest problem with milia occurring in infancy is calming panicked parents, who do not know how harmless and temporary it is. Milia may not be so temporary when adults get it. In fact, these unsightly blister-like bumps can sometimes be permanent for adults without intervention.

Milia visibly manifests in tiny blister-like protrusions on the skin. This condition can occur in anyone, regardless of age, sex, or race. The type seen in infants usually disappears over a brief period, but the adult version can be a long term cosmetic problem. This condition is not dangerous, and it is officially unknown if there is a relationship to another underlying condition. Milia is one of the most misunderstood of all health conditions, but in itself, appears harmless by all reports.

Big Medica: "The Causes"

These are the suspected causes of adult milia, as espoused by modern medicine, listed for humor purposes, of course. You may notice the trend of these being related to their own chemical industry.

• trauma to sweat ducts
• radiotherapy (radiation)
• sunscreens
• topical corticosteroid use
• genodermatoses ("bad" genes) **

The Real Cause

Unfortunately, we cannot give answers as definitively as we usually do. This is because milia has not received the same amount of research that most disorders have, due to its relatively harmless nature.

The honest truth is that no one knows the causes with certainty. It is widely believed that this condition is due to an exfoliation problem, whereby tiny flakes of dead skin clog the skin's pores. Our research indicates that this is likely only half of the equation. The other half is an excess of cholesterol in the skin, where the body frequently deposits its excess cholesterol. This in turn, leads us to a third contributing factor, which is a deficiency of sunlight. A body removes its excess cholesterol in the skin using sunlight, which begins a process of converting it into vitamin D3. Sunlight does not cause this condition, as some other health-related sources have claimed, and in fact, sunlight can cure it in some cases.

Eliminating Milia

There is plenty of information elsewhere about having dermatologists remove these lesions, so we shall not discuss that option. For those who want to do it themselves, we recommend:

• Take frequent showers.
• Exfoliate the skin.
• Avoid sunscreens. (when reasonable)
• Avoid heavy facial cosmetics.
• Get moderate sunlight exposure frequently.
• Reduce high cholesterol foods.
• Do not take vitamin D supplements. *

Extreme caution is recommended for the treatment option listed in this section. Misapplication or misuse of the chemical mentioned herein may cause serious injury, including skin burns, or blindness (if put into contact with the eyes). Therefore, the treatment option listed here may be used AT YOUR RISK. We accept no liability for misuse, mistakes, or any unforeseen consequences. Therefore, this information is published for informational use only. The Heavy Artillery For Treating Milia There is a chemical solvent used in alternative medicine known as DMSO, which is useful in eliminating milia lesions. DMSO is a by-product of paper manufacturing. It has some unique properties. DMSO, in diluted doses, will not harm healthy tissues, but it will destroy tumors, scar tissue, and cleanse the body. It also destroys milia lesions. We can attest to this with first hand experience. For the sensitive skin of the face, it should be diluted to 50% strength, in case one is using pure DMSO. It should be diluted to 70% (or less) of full strength for most other areas of the body. Dilute it in distilled water and stir. Do not seal the bottle for several minutes, and do not be alarmed if the solution heats a little. It should only be applied once a day. It will cause burns if applied too often, or in too concentrated a form. There will normally be some slight burning and itching sensations as it absorbs, but there is no need to panic from these sensations. If these sensations become overwhelming, then wash it off, because it is likely that too much was used. Again, take special precautions to avoid getting DMSO into the eyes, and always apply it near a water facet, in case some accidentally gets into an eye. DMSO is for external use only (topical use). Make sure everything involved in the application, and the area to be applied are surgically clean. DMSO has another unique property whereby it will pull other materials into the body, so cleanliness is vital for safety. Despite these necessary warnings, DMSO is a safe substance to use for treating many disorders, when it is properly used.

Prolog

* The part about avoiding vitamin D supplements may be shocking to some readers, but people with milia are in a special category. Their bodies need to remove excess cholesterol from their skin, and it does this by converting that cholesterol into a form of vitamin D following sunlight exposure. If these people already have enough vitamin D, then this process will not occur, and the cholesterol build up in their skin will continue.

** Researching milia has revealed just how idiotic the exercise of modern medicine can be. At least in the realm of alternative (traditional) medicines, when something is not fully understood, an admission of ignorance is usually made. Milia is a great example of institutional arrogance from allopathic medicine. Among the many supposed causes that they list for milia is "genetic" problems. This is, by the way, the new trend. They cannot (or will not) understand the basic causal relationships of lifestyle and food choices on disease, which are closely linked to family traditions. These are the root causes of diseases, and diseases have absolutely no relationship whatsoever to genes. Every health condition supposedly caused by a "bad" gene can be traced to a poisoning, usually from their own industry. Disease is not a normal state as we have been lead to believe by the chemical industry, and its sales partners who wear the white over coats. Whenever something is too confusing for them, they claim it must be due to malfunctioning genes. You see, according to the new age science of medicine, genes simply go bad, without any interference, and their chemical toxins are actually healthy nutrients that your body needs to maintain health. (Perhaps you have a Vioxx deficiency?) It's little wonder this same industry is the cause of 60% of the bankruptcies in the U.S.A., for it is a black hole of death and disease.
