Re: Ketogenic Diet - Path To Transformation?
Since moving to a new house we've felt a need for wood for random crafting and repair as it comes up, so we've been dragging home used pallets from local places that throw them out. They're usually in rough shape, but still useful and might give a nice weathered look to anything you make with them.
Of course before we can have them ready, we have to pull them apart with a hammer and crow bar. Our crowbar is hammered smooth on one part and one of our hammers had the nail pullers crack and fly off. It's brutal! I've been dismantling palettes we got recently that are made of oak, and I found I get water blisters because of how hard I have to hammer the crowbar. These are just layers of skin that have been rubbed loose from the lower layer, and they fill up with salty water for some reason.
I've gotten these blisters in the past from similar things, but they would always take a week or so to heal, and would blow up like water balloons and might spray if they rupture. Almost always they would rupture and expose the raw skin underneath, and that entire section of skin would have to regrow. If they didn't rupture, the section of skin would just yellow and harden and the water would slowly drain and it would become a callus.
BUT, after changing my diet it's different. While dismantling the pallets I've gotten one of these blisters twice in the same place, and the next day it was almost completely healed. They no longer swell with water, and it seems the loose layer of skin adheres back overnight.
One idea I have is that I might simply have enough electrolytes, since I eat more salt, and tend to take some salt with my water when I'm out in the equatorial heat. It could be that electrolyte deficiency causes the blister to swell instead of healing naturally. I'm not sure about this though.
