Abstract

Cosmetics, a significant part of daily life, often contain toxic chemicals that pose severe health risks. These substances transfect through the skin and into the largest organ of the human body—the interstitium. This network of interstitial fluids surrounds every cell, enabling the transport of harmful chemicals that poison cells and disrupt physiological processes. This article examines the toxic ingredients commonly found in cosmetics, their pathways of transfection, and the health risks they pose. Furthermore, it provides practical detoxification solutions, including MasterPeace Zeolite Z™ and SOLergy Sea Minerals™, based on peer-reviewed research to combat the systemic impacts of these chemicals [1-3].

High-resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) reveals unparalleled insights into the nanoscale architecture and dynamics of the interstitial fluids within the interstitium - the largest organ of the human body. It highlights interstitial spaces, interstitial fluid, collagen fibrils, elastin networks, cellular interactions, and extracellular vesicles - Hikari Omni Publishing and Robert Oldham Young DSc, PhD, ND - Copyright 2024 

In the above micrograph in the nanoscale you can visualize structures at dimensions between 1 and 100 nanometers. You see the specific elements in the Interstitium interstitial fluid structures viewed under High-resolution transmission microscopy at the nanoscale:

  • Interstitial Spaces and Fluids: The interstitial fluid and spaces appear as interconnected regions, often visible at scales of 50–200 nm, depending on the resolution and sample preparation.
  • Collagen Fibrils: Collagen fibrils, critical for structural support in the interstitium, are approximately 50–500 nm in diameter.
  • Elastin Networks: Elastin fibers, which contribute to tissue elasticity, are typically observed at widths of 50–100 nm in high-resolution TEM images.
  • Extracellular Vesicles: Vesicles such as exosomes, which facilitate intercellular communication, are visible at sizes between 30 and 150 nm.
  • Capillary Structures: The smallest capillary features, such as endothelial cell layers and basement membranes, are within the 10–100 nm range.
  • Nanoparticles and Contaminants: Toxic particles, such as microplastics or cosmetic-derived nanoparticles, are often <100 nm and are captured distinctly with TEM.
