(sorry, I ran this under Advice, but I really want to get some discussion on it... :) )
Hello, all
Recently, a friend put me in contact with a friend of his, who is a holistic healer. In talking to this healer (I'll call him Nick... because that's his name,) I learned that he had had psoriasis, and that was what turned him on to healing in the first place.
He noted that as an immune-system disorder, psoriasis over-reacts to toxins and imbalances in your bloodstream. He told me of the regiment he went on to rid himself of the symptoms, and recommmended I do the same.
The regiment- no smoking, alcohol, red meats, dairy, fermented products (yeast, vinegar) or sugar. He also suggested moving to an alkaline-based diet, and basing my diet on 50% raw fruits and vegetables. I followed this diet for a month, but slipped, and then heartily fell, off the wagon.
I am now starting over again from square one, and I was wondering if anyone else out there has tried a simliar method and if so, what were their results?
Thanks so much,
Jake

" Hi, I've tried a lot of things, but I know that even when something may work, in my case, stress messes it up. I think Holistic remedies are good and probably work better in the long run than man-made remedies. If we can get rid of the things that upset our immune system than maybe we can get rid of the Psoriasis. "

" I'm doing a lot homiopathic, natural things. A jucie calld NingXia Red, lotion called Pau D'Arco and tea called Pau D'Arco. It cleans out your blood and your blood and helps your immune system. My psorisis comes from my blood. My herbalist told me no dairy, yeast etc but I have siblings and that's what we have to eat even though I really don't eat a lot of it..hardly any in fact. The tea works good but it also brings it out of your body somtimes so basicaly it flares up but its good for you...annoying but good! "

" Jake, could you please ask that healer who had psoriasis if they would post here? if possible i would like to be able to talk to him. i can pm you my contact info.

as to your question, Jake, i think that this diet and regimen can help. unfortunately, some of our favorite things may have to go: sugar, alcohol, tomatoes, etc.
thanks
chiron "
