The sun, the air and the water– our best friends! It was, it is and it should be

Nowadays the experts insistently recommend being careful of excessive sunburn. Meanwhile our ancestors were unremittingly working under sizzling rays of the sun and were not afraid of it as we are afraid now. At the same time we are aware of the ancient aphorism: the sun, the air and the water - our best friends. So why do the doctors of the whole world warn people against sunburn? Why did the sun become harmful from the factor of health?

The point is that for now in actual fact there is not any person with absolutely healthy skin. It is connected with the pollution of our ecology and first of all our biotope or microecology: houses, apartments, living conditions, beds and clothes. All of us know that our living conditions and factory world are full of the acaruses invisible for open eyes. They exist in items of our life, beds, clothes and skin. If we find various representatives of these insects in common and bed dust, so in the skin of "healthy" people the microscopic acaruses only one type - Demodex are constantly found out. This acaruse was ranked as harmless inhabitant of cutaneous gland of the person by some easy hand out of coryphaeus of the dermatologic science. In veterinary science this acaruse is identically considered as the parasite. In sheepfold the sick animals are put under quarantine. The dead bodies of such animals are burned or dug at the depth up to two meters. The experts confirmed 100 % of contagiosity by the acaruse. In practice our house pets (cats, dogs) which are sick with ear demodicosis mange are assigned with topical treatment only. In such center of affection any antiepidemic actions are not practically taken. Unfortunately, we observed not only skin manifestations of demodicosis but also Krulikovskiy’s balls under their skin. Demodicosis’ affections of internals were diagnosed under clinical masks of illnesses of joints and internals. Confidently we can diagnosticate that Demodex is not the saprophyte, and 100 % the parasite. It causes demodex in the person which is not diagnosed in clinical medicine and consequently is not treated. The correct treatment is taken more or less only in three complications of this disease (discoid lupus erythematosus, rosacea and demodicosis blepharoconjunctivitis) but in the center of affection any antiepidemic actions are not conducted.

The skin affected by the acaruses is always a problem. Here is the incomplete list of changes in the skin affected by the acaruses; dryness, paleness, excessive swarthiness, scabrities, greasiness, blotch, porosis, pustule, carbuncle, papilloma, alopecia. By virtue of acaruse’s affection not only the inhabitants of the Asian continent became swarthy but also the most of Europeans. By same reason the skin of some Europeans, Asians and Africans has got the excessive blackness. The long-term dwelling of the acaruses in skin and mucus membrane gradually leads to allergization and decrease of body resistance. Slowly but truly the parasites get enormous speed of duplication and colonize other telas and organs of the person affected by them. To pick up the acaruse is not necessary to embrace the sick person. It is enough to touch the dirty banisters, handrails, to sit on unfamiliar bed or to put on someone’s dress in the mall. Even dialogue with own child may lead to infection with the acaruse as children are accustomed to climb and lay where it is not recommended. But more often it promotes by the sexual transmission. The disease can not be escaped if the acaruse is already on the skin. The immunity towards acaruses can not be developed.

The sun induces the death of acaruses living in thickness of the skin. All of the parasites are dieing under low affection and the skin is completely cleared. A small pinkness of the skin as the result of influence of the sun passes quickly enough. Henceforth the skin becomes whiter than before sunburn. A huge quantity of the acaruses are dieing on the skin strongly affected by the sun. Thus there is a huge quantity of allergens released– the components of bodies of dead acaruses. Burning, rubeosis, edema, pruritus and rash appear at these allergens on the skin. The continuous influencing sunlight (during sunburn) causes the continuous local irritation by products of disintegration of all new portions of dead acaruses. Finally the malignant neoplasms are developing at this constant irritation. And the sun is considered harmful only for this reason. It’s a pity as actually the rays of the sun are curative. What is the exit from created situation? - It is necessary to prepare the skin for a season of sunburn. The skin is the biggest organ of a human body. As any other organ the skin also requires the cleaning procedure. Therefore everyone who has any changes on the skin should come to us for consultation and to receive a full package of recommendations on cleaning procedure that will help to avoid development of undesirable and dangerous consequences from the sunburn. The untreated micro-mite-borne invasion of the skin, mucus membrane, telas and organs leads to occurrence of diseases of immuno-allergic genesis – know as clinical masks of acariasis (micro-mite-borne disease). These are photodermatosis, discoid lupus erythematosus, dermatitis; alimentary allergy, drug allergy, kiss-type allergy; rosacea, rhinophyma, eczema, neurodermatitis, psoriasis, parapsoriasis, prurigo, furunculosis, demodicosis, allergic rhinitis erythrodermatitis, erythroderma, alopecia, initial stage of systemic lupus erythematosus, initial stage of vitiligo, initial stage of systemic scleroderma, initial stage of dermatomyositis, precancerous dermatopathia, cancer of skin, chronic recurrent urticaria and etc.
