im not familiar with it but Dead sea salt bath is one good recommendation. My mum used it when she had serious skin problem.

it works good, anyone tried this virgin coconut oil product b4? LYN ppl selling it at http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2203552 ,so many type.. duno which 1 works better for psoriasis

Virgin coconut oil can help in psoriasis.

which 1 should i buy as i saw u got quite number of model

Most of the products are essentially the same thing except for some which is targeted for skin/hair treatment. Those listed in the first section are all virgin coconut oil only in different sizes and the addition of vitamin E.

Those with vitamin E are more expensive because vitamin E are expensive and have many other benefits which enhances the body's immune system. However you can just try the one without vitamin E if your condition is not bad.

Psoriasis are characterized by inflammation, the anti-inflammatory properties of coconut oil make this a perfect treatment option. Unprocessed virgin coconut oil is most effective and can be applied directly to the affected area of skin. Of course your lifestyle is the most important in controlling it. For example, eating too many omega-6 fatty acids (found in many polyunsaturated fats and used in pre-packaged foods poor in whole food vitamins) promotes inflammation. In addition, scratching skin lesions enhances inflammation and prevents healing. Finally, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and overeating all promote skin inflammation can counteract the healing effects of coconut oil.

I also used to have skin problems so I understand your difficulty especially those treatment that doesnt work. I cannot guarantee that once using vco your condition will go away but for me it does improve the condition.

I truly understand there is no guarantee psoriasis to cure right away, coz the chances to cure it are extremely LOW. Anyhow I will look forward to ur product, will PM u ASAP after I decide which to get from u. Thank you for taking time in this replies

The only thing that works for me is traditional chinese medicine. My TCM doctor is very experienced, the first time he saw my symptoms, he said I just need to keep my body cooling (in terms of TCM) then the body will have the right environment to heal it by itself. More plain water, sleep early, lots of fibre (others like carbo/protein just keep them limited), take a lot of cooling foods (cincau/ coconut water/ herbal tea/ small bittergourd juice). After 6 months of good practice and intake of his medicine, I only have some tiny/thin scales left on my scalp. (no other body parts, it has been so long since I face serious itchiness) Also, I can now gain some body weight (before this, I was turning so skinny, no matter how I eat last time, i could not gain weight).

*No, I don't rely on topical stuffs like creams/ointment/steroid/soap, they are worthless.

god bless on ur condition & i'm happy to hear good news like u had
may i know how long u suffer from psoriasis b4 u get this cure from doctor? btw, what is TCM?

I have it for like 5 to 6 years. I was an active member of all major psoriasis discussion boards and tried any possible method with no significant results. Now, I don't even need to visit those forums. TCM = traditional chinese medicine.

Fellow psoriasis people, don't give up. I was mentally stressed last time also, could not accept it.
For my case, its similar like normal people who sleep very late and wake up with significant dandruff. Its like you disrupt the detox process of the liver (liver starts to work b4 12am) and you induce heatiness to your other organs as well. Last time, I stayed with my PC till extremely late then I got this skin disease (it started with scalp, spread to other areas).

Yes the most important is diet. Cant agree more on that. Supplement or medicine all of them are taken into your body through diet and circulated to your body through bloof flow. If you eat the correct food, then its the same as taking supplements because essentially supplements are food just higher concentration of the good stuff. Food contains those good stuff but not in high concentration. Its a mixture of alittle bit of this and that.

Even those who take supplements, medicines, vitamins if they dont control their diet its useless.

For topical stuff, they absorb through the skin. Depends on your condition some disease work better through topical application because it affects the skin.

i must thank you for patiently reply , may i know ur TCM doctor contact? isit expensive or affordable $ to visit this doctor?

No problem, I would love to help those who are unfortunate as well. I'm a Malaccan, I visit this http://tcmyws.blogspot.com. I pay RM65 per week for every week.

malacca long way to go, anyhow thank you for this valuable info I wish u can cure 100% asap so u can live happily without the "dam %#@%$ psoriasis" in future!

Supermarket, near olive oils, small bottle RM18 will last for months, maybe years.

olive oil not same as vco

Yes, we know that, thanks.

BTW, hint for those who are trying it for the first time:

Get a very small container wide enough to rub your finger across the bottom. Put in small amount of vco and keep in fridge. It will harden and turn milky white. When you want to apply, get a tiny amount with fingertip or scrape onto back of your nail, then rub onto skin lightly. It will absorb and disappear into the skin very quickly and leave no shininess. If you use it in warm liquid form, it will be oily and too much may cause breakouts.

Hi Everyone
Desperately needed help here. My down syndrome sister aged 30 years old having quite serious psoriasis on her arms and legs. The scaling patch on her legs are quite red and itchy. Went to see a dermatologist but no use. Given transfer factor capsules and Vit E capsule for a month seems looks better no after stop, the redness came back. Decided to continue back but now needed something to stop the itchiness. Would appreciate for some advice. Does submerge both legs in salt water helps ??
