I like to share my experience in "Psoriasis" & seeks help from everyone which can help me
I know every time when we have problem we need to visit "Doctor" or google it which I did tried before. Dozen of article from wiki's, blogs, product selling page which is very useful hints for me.

So far I found Vitamins E / Fish Oil as nutrition & Dead sea salt bath product which is quite effective on it, anyone here can share with me any trusted brands for above mention nutrition & dead sea salt product which we can find in malaysia or safely buying online?

Of course I need to tell the condition of patient "Psoriasis"

Condition:-
1. Patient suffer more then 30 years & now age 60+.
2. Whole body infected from head to toe.

Medication & problem history:-
1. From beginning patient get Creams to apply on skin which contains "steroids" *as i know from wiki, this steroids must continues use from day to day. Until one day (after 20years) patient run out of cream and did not use it for more then 1-2 week, "Psoriasis" begin to exploded into terrifying effect and makes patient non-stop fever, skin become SUPER RED & very weak. Then admitted to Hospital. Lucky "patient" survive in this period and able to live again happily.

2. Now patient have to continues apply the same cream BUT not like last time, as doctor said patient skins become healthier and provide lesser % steroids cream for patient. Now skin becomes "Red" again after patients Vitamins E runs out for 1 week & without dead sea salt for "unknown *my mistake which i did not monitor it" amount of time. Until today I let patient continue back the Vitamin E.

Is there any "non-profit" organization out there which I can contact and seek for more solid info? I serious do not have that much $ to look for so many skin-care doctor outside as they already had patient $ for more then 20 years. I hope sifu's in here can provide me more info to defend this "Psoriasis"

All comment are welcome. Sorry for my bad English and kindly correct me.

I know of another forummer who also have psoriasis but think its not good for me to point him out. Maybe he will join this discussion when he sees this thread

together we can fight it, we don't have to ignore or scare of psoriasis appearance patient coz psoriasis "DON'T SPREAD TO OTHERS" drawback is psoriasis patient scare others spread disease to them. but I really aware of Psoriasis product scammer which i scare the most.

i love my self,but me living a hell life! forver alone.
sometime its hard to explain to ppl about this sick, coz their 1st question is , "is it spread?"

avoid all type fish/sea food since some kind tend to make me itchy.
avoid chicken, alcohol(ah mostly i only drink plain water)
avoid all oily and spicy.
sleep atleast 6 hour+ or less i felt scalp developing so fast.
must take shower 3 or 2 time a day, water make me feel better.
everybody is diffrent , this is some tips i develop for mine.

as previous post #8
"I really aware of Psoriasis product scammer which i scare the most"
i waste alot of money trusting derma and medicine , whats is the point suppressing a sick, as soon your stop the medic , it will get worst than ever! - from my own experience.

Control Your life, dont let medicine control your life!

Yes you are all correct. Its the public perception that destroys your lives. Getting judged based on your disease is just not fair!!

People should be more understanding and caring towards patients and not add more to their suffering.

Most important thing is to make awareness to the public about you guys condition so they understand what is Psoriasis and other things that they fear. How they can help and stuff like that. I think there's an association somewhere in Malaysia cos I read about it sometime before in newspaper.

Btw, Im not infected with it and very grateful for what I have in my life

I will use my time "Spread" my word to others that "Psoriasis" don't SPREAD

the tips u mention also helps, as my patient also doing the same things. must make urself comfortable and happy will be more credits on it.

i just when to a farmacy at ampang point beside hongleong bank look for the toco-e vitamins & dead sea salt and they don't have it. the toco-e looks like below, u have any ideas where to get this?

Large picture, i lazy to reduce it. u may click link to look at it.

I agreed what u said and thank god ur not psoriasis patient. But u r still a nice person which helping me spreading this thread to let more ppl knows "psoriasis" don't spread. hope more ppl comes in here and share so we can counter psoriasis and make psoriasis patient a better way to live + hope to live without psoriasis one day!

I have psoriasis. Over 80% coverage of body mass.

The thing is, I suggest the "patient" finds a doctor who knows what psoriasis really is. A GP isn't going to cut it. You'll need to find a good dermatologist. Follow the doc's advice.

Usually, alcohol is a main trigger for psoriasis. Aside from that, food that affects the patient differs for each person. Be mindful of what is ingested so notes can be taken on which food causes a relapse.

Also, lifestyle is a HUGE deal. Exercise, balanced diet, rest, stress (emotional and physical) all have some bearing on psoriasis. The problem is that most people have problems maintaining that sort of disciplined lifestyle and get upset about it. That in turn, aggravates the psoriasis. Its unfortunate but life isn't fair.

On a personal note, i have found that as long as I keep exercising (I box) and have a balanced lifestyle, psoriasis relapse aren't that severe. My relapses occur mainly because I can't give up the Guinness.

"Patient" use to have follow up schedule from Ampang hospital, doctor use to arrange the "cream type" *looks like body lotion* day after day it "patient" skin become better n better. We follow all appointment to see doctor, after doctor sees patient skin become better, doctor begin the give lesser "cream type" medication and appointment become 6 month later. Now patient skin problem comes back a bit i scare it becomes like last time it happens to exploded to another illness again, i try to send patient to the same ampang hospital and they said must wait for appointment. Any suggestion on this issue? or must I send patient to private dermatologist? Any recommendation for me to make a survey on it? thank you for reading/responding on this thread

I began taking Resveratrol and Pycnogenol for a few weeks now. Seems to be working for me. Very minimal excessive skin peeling now

http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2009/sep200...nditions_02.htm

Curcumin will be next on my list to get...this one is a super duper anti-oxidant

This post has been edited by tchtax: Nov 18 2011, 02:35 PM

only available online or can get this locally in KL/PJ area? thx for sharing.

Pycnogenol can get from GNC but the rest, I haven't seen it at the stores locally.

ic, thx for the info

Yup the other day I went to GNC, the promoter recommended me some supplement which is beneficial for skin. Some form of tree bark. You can check with them.

sorry, i miss out 1 question. what is GNC?

Added on November 18, 2011, 4:25 pmanyone tried this b4?

http://www.cosway.com.my/product/personal/prod_zara_01.htm

This post has been edited by skydrake: Nov 18 2011, 04:25 PM

GNC is a health product shop which is very well known in Malaysia. Try googling it for more info.

My father is a psoriasis victim. And I felt really sad for him, he had it since about 15 years ago, he is using the daivonex ointment manufactured by Leo pharma.

But now in Malaysia is not available anymore. Have to get from overseas.

I wish everyone a healthy life.

It's Pycnogenol

Sorry to hear about the suffering here. My husband was diagnosed with psoriasis almost 25 years ago, he's no 46. he had it all over his scalp, his body, his legs and hands. I could peel huge scabs. the floor, bedsheet always covered. if the weather is hot, he feels more pain and especially if the skin cracks and bleeds.

He did all the mainstream treatments (Uv light, steriod creams, etc). It was only until my son was diagnosed with an 'uncurable' disease that I ventured and started studying about natural medicine.

please understand the psoriasis like autism is reversable. psoriasis is toxins related and gut issues. those who have plague psoriasis should investigate 'strep bacteria' as one of its causes. yes diet does allow you to see some improvement and so do some supplements especially natural anti inflamatories like curcumin. however to fully eradicate psoriasis you need to work diligently on it for about 6-10 months. it is nothing too difficult.

based on my research, my husband first started on the Pagano diet (there's a book you can google at amazon) but please note that he did go through a healing crisis. his body was hot, itchy and so very very uncomfortable for about 2 weeks.

after that, we managed to find a good natural doctor to start a proper supervision to eradicate his psoriasis. its looks so much better (only thing my husband a bit lazy to take all the supplements at 3 different intervals during the day). it can be considered expensive, as it will cost about RM300 per month on the supplements the doctor provides, but I guess to get rid of it, its worth for us to put that money aside that we would have used for dinner iwth the family in a restaurant. please email me if you like the doctor's contact.

please note I personally do not advocate applying creams/lotions of any kind as it 'suppresses' the condition. psoriasis from my research is an external manifestation of what's going on inside the body. the skin is one of the largest organ and is used primarily for detoxifying. if the gut is not healthy, you will get toxins leaking out (hence the term leaky gut syndrome) and you can also get things like yeast, parasites etc that breeds bad bacteria, hence why some people with psoriasis have gut issues like gastric etc.

good luck with your research.

I don't have Ps but seb dermatitis, something much less severe, red flaky spots, non-itching. I exercise, eat moderately, sleep, etc. I tried going without even a Guinness for a month but no improvement. Must I abstain longer to test if it is alcohol? I have a nightcap every evening, and several on weekends.

(No need for anyone to suggest meds from dermatologists or natural treatments. I have a long list that have failed.)

111

Again, any skin condition is an external manifestation. When you're healthy, having the night cap is fine, especially things like a small glass of guiness or red wine. Even eating red meat in moderation is fine (if its within your believe).

As for treatments, Im against pharmaceuticals that is applied on the skin. The only thing I use for the entire family and baby is either virgin coconut oil and calendula cream for nicks and bruises. To cure your condition, you need to go a little bit deeper and try other forms. Again I understand your frustration but you need to keep finding the doctor/treatment that wroks. Most often if it works, you will see your condition getting worst, or flaring up. Most people wil then think "oh no, he made it worst, its not working" and that's just the opposite, you're probably going through a healing crisis.

Please note from some research Ive done, you might want to stop any form of dandruff shampoo and use only simple organic product. In my opinion, we use too many products on your body (lotions, creams, hair gel, shampoo, conditioner, underarm deodorant, cologne, perfurme, etc) all the marketing gimmicks to 'mask' any foul odour which is the body's way of telling you something is not quite right.

please try to google natural antifungal, gut, yeast, etc related to your condition and you might find some pointers. i've found this new herb called nigella sativa, you might want to google to see if it helps. someone also mentioend Pycnogenol, that is quite good, but you might want to also research the dosages as you may need therapeutic dosages. I'm not a doctor so please be use your descretion and find a natural doctor to assist you.

Does virgin coconut oil help in psoriasis?

If they do, I can help you guys get them. I think my uncle sells virgin coconut oil but imnot sure about the price. If they can help let me know the market price and ill try ask him if he can sell to you guys cheaper compare to markt price.

Sorry but I'm not a doctor. I can't help you with your problem because I don't have any idea what seb dematitis is.

Hi, try to use a product called daivobet. It is widely use on psoriasis patients with minimal side effect and have rapid onset of action.

Maybe for Psoriasis, but for dermatitis, this and similar didn't work. Been there, done that. That's a steroid like doctors sling out when there is no clear treatment, and most patients have learned it is a vicious circle to avoid. I've even tried non-steroids.

I still use raw honey for cleansing and cold-pressed coconut oil for moisturizing, instead of commercial products and they help but do not stop the symptoms. That's why I was wondering whether it is alcohol even in moderate amounts, but how long to stop to test the suspicion, I don't know. Also, I know non-drinkers who have this condition.


111

i have it too but its mild comes n goes used to be really bad 10 years ago all my fingers would peel and bleed dam malu wanna buy things when giving and receiving money cashier would gimme d wtf look after seeing my fingers

what i use and still use from time to time is Diprosalic available from the pharmacy.....u can also try Hydrocortisone 1% ointment from the hospitals.....these 2 are very good products makes the peel and "buih" go away

till today i still dont know what triggers it in me...comes n goes for me haih

wish u guys all d best

glad to see more n more ppl comes in here n share, please keep stay in here share as much as we can, i will read all of it carefully n make a list on the #1st post as a guide lines to care n understand "psoriasis" more.

if anyone can volunteer to help me make a list of guide line will be good coz i'm quite bz in this following month. i'm getting married on 24th december

anyhow i will not letting this thread down for the sake of my patient n every kind soul that taking time read/replying in here.

i wish/pray for all of us good luck all the way, faith is still on our hand!!

Both of these are steroids. Salicylic acid is a skin exfoliant like in cosmetic face washes. These of course remove the top layers which help relieve symptoms temporarily, but in the long run your skin is getting thinner and thinner. My dermatitis is worst where the skin flakes off and leaves a raw red spot which feels like no skin covering at all. I worry that some psoriasis people may get the same thing after using steroids for years.

Nevermind, keep reporting anything that helps because the internet is full of information but it is good to know what works in our climate, with our diet, and what's available in our market.

111

Yup my husband tried all those Beprosalic stuff and tons of steroid creams, plus we even have a big huge UVA light from Holland (this was old school treatment back in the 1980s). After seeing a homeopathy and naturopathy doctor, I am proud to say he is almost 100% cured. the finger nails is slowly coming back to normal. those who have severe psoriasis have really bad toe and finger nails. like there is fungus, and nails are sticking out from the nail bed, go holes in it. he was voted of having the most ugliest toes ever, and his joints hurt (osteo arthiritis)

All I can say is the dermatologist and immunologist still think psoriasis is 'incurable disease' and hence durg companies make zillions of dollars using people like my husband a trials and ask for donations towards their cause.

Please do try to get in touch with me if you want the information on the doctor or discuss more on the treatment he is undergoing as Im not going to be following this thread anymore. We live in PJ area and my husband will more and happily share his story with you.

God bless.

Added on November 22, 2011, 7:57 pmOh my gosh..coconut oil is so good for everything! its antiviral, etc. I used to get very bad sinuses and once i started gargling with it, it really helps. I even consume 1 teaspoon of it. And now my whole family does.

I am a city gal who loves modern stuff (crabtree, loccitane, etc) and actually thought all of this coconut oil stuff was nonsense. I hated coconut oil and thought it was some old indian grandmother tale. boy was I wrong. I even used it on my new born baby. Did you hear about johnson and johnson in US and how they found chemicals that were not suitable for babies? J&J admitted and are now going to reformulate and to think parents were slathering it on newborns. imagine how it affects the indrocine systems...gheez...

please get in touch with me, I would like to know more about the coconut oil he sells, how is the oil extracted, etc...thanks again for offering.

haha holes in the skin....how can i forget that.....from that forms the bubble or buih.....disgusting after the fluid seeps out....those were the days....i keep a bottle of hand sanitizer next to my keyboard these days and wash my hands all the time

interesting review on coconut oil tho

I'm curious on the coconut oil, how does it looks like? anyone know more details on it?

Supermarket ones are about Rm$18 for small bottle, which should last you for months. It is clear colourless, no chemicals from processing, very light smell, not unpleasant. Stays fresh at room temperature, hardens in fridge.
You can use it to cook or even some people swallow a spoonful every day because of health benefits.

111

i will try to get a bottle tomolo thx for the info, will upload photo in here.. see i'm buying the right one. haha

Has anybody with psoriasis tried the non-prescription EgoPsoryl cream available at pharmacies? I am curious because the milder EgoDerm is a soothing non-oil moisturizer that lessens the redness and smoothens the flaking of my dermatitis.

111

This one I just got from a friend in sabah when he uses kangen water to heal this skin problem. Applies to eczema.

Good result isn't it? Let me know if you want to try for free in KL. Call Connie 012 7003361. She will guide you. Free. Free la. Free.. lol.

yeah Healin is good one.

The pain and suffering is excruciating. You want this skin disease? lol. Smells like hell also.

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).

This post has been edited by XterNalz: Feb 1 2012, 05:18 PM

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.

This post has been edited by XterNalz: Feb 1 2012, 05:20 PM

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 ??

had u try the alzara sea salt from cosway? go n buy it, if I remember it right.. this cost u below rm20 for it. here is the link for this product > http://www.cosway.com.my/product/personal/prod_zara_01.htm
it helps reduce the redness n itchy quite effective.

Try methotrexate. It works wonders.

Pm me if anyone got psoriasis.im sincerely help you on this.

nice job Do u mind share some tips here if can?

Balanced nutrition meal is the key point.every single cell in our body need balanced nutrition,then only it will works fantastic.without a proper meal,it will not give you a healthy life.
World health organization said that today the food is the lowest nutrition ever and highiest poison ever in the century.
What I can help here is giving a balanced meal to my customer.im serving every single day for them to help them become healthier.
I believe no matter u are healthier now or sick and disease now.not important.the most important is what you going to feed for ur cell in the coming future?body cell changing and growing every single day.how do you want to growing it,protect it,giving it the right meal?

I agreed what u had said, the meals that we serve daily basis very important and this is also the hardest part do to

Is not as hard as you think the meal is.the hardest part is ppl do not have discipline on themselves.i do not want to be like a salesman here pushing for my shop and my meal.only those who DESPERATELY want to become a normal healthy person,pm me privately and I will show you how best is the meal feed in ur body needs.

where is ur shop?

Don't know if homemade soap and lotions could help; check out my thread for recipes

if it give calm to skins, should help. but i'm not very sure bout ingredients n effect from ur homemade products. most importantly psoriasis skins needs moistures.

as i mentioned earlier, try methotrexate when all things fail.

after reading some article for "methotrexate", I found that it really works for psoriasis especially reducing the skin cells proliferating speed due to redness or inflammatory cause of psoriasis. still I'm not good in medical knowledge, for ppl wants to try this out.. please please please get doctor advise b4 proceed.

what makes u think it's sold over the counter? it can prescribed by physicians or dermatologist. pay rm5 see them in government specialist clinics, free medications.

mahkota cheras

Regarding virgin coconut oil, you could try taking two tablespoonfuls
a day for three months and see if it helps.

This Rainforest brand has jumped up a ridiculous 30 per cent in price recently,
so you may try Country Farm's Organics at $58 a liter. I bought a bottle at
Hartamas Shopping Centre's supermarket the other day, but may be cheaper
direct from Country Farm's outlets. Made in Philippines. (I don't have psoriasis,
trying it out mainly for the antibacterial activity of its lauric acid content.)


Has your dermatologist tried the monoclonal antibodies/TNF-alpha inhibitors like
ethanercept and infliximab on you ?

My boss has psoriasis, and some years ago this Chow Skin Specialist (clinic in Pudu
and Pantai) injected one of the above on him at some $1,500 per shot.

As expected, since they are immunosuppressive, his psoriasis cleared up well, but
naturally relapsed some months later.

Note, however, that these drugs, as immunosuppresants, have been linked with an
increased risk of cancer (particularly leukemia and lymphomas, though controversial)
and may also activate latent tuberculosis.



Pentoxifylline (Trental), the old drug used in intermittent claudication and bed sores,
also inhibits TNF-alpha, IL-1 and IL-6.

"Perhaps the prototype of TNF-α mediated diseases in dermatology is psoriasis.
Indeed, some of the new biologic drugs for psoriasis act by inhibition of this cytokine.
The beneficial effects of PTX in psoriasis have been shown in nude mice in both in vivo
and in vitro studies [25], but there is a lack of sufficient studies in humans. "

http://anagen.ucdavis.edu/1411/reviews/pentoxy/zargari.html


Sulfasalazine, the old immunosuppressive drug used in ulcerative colitis, Crohn's
and rheumatoid arthritis, is apparently also a TNF-alpha inhibitor. Note that it has
pretty heavy side effects. Thus the newer derivative, mesalazine, may be safer.


Sulfasalazine and pentoxifylline in psoriasis: a possible safe alternative.

Antiproliferative effect of pentoxifylline on psoriatic and normal epidermis.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/8982405



Fumaric acid esters have been used for decades, but are linked
with toxic effects on the kidney, as well as gastrointestinal problems.



Addition of pentoxifylline could reduce the side effects of fumaric acid esters
in the treatment of psoriasis.

Hey guys, it has been a while and I'm still clear

Care to share some experiences?

My father has suffered from psoriasis for years, seek treatment from many skin specialist and spent lots of money.

He was introduced by a doctor friend to try a health supplement call - SOUL for his psoriasis condition.

He was told our body lack of Essential Fatty Acids that caused psoriasis, he need to take EFA supplements.

Out of desperation, my father gave it a try, to his surprise, after one week taking SOUL, his psoriasis subsided and after 3 months, almost completely heal.

This product is amazing! It is made of 3 types of seeds (black cumin/black raspberry/Chardonnay grape seeds) high in EFA's Omega3,6,9. It taste like concentrated raspberry juice.

SOUL has many health benefits to our body, I will not discuss further as this forum is about psoriasis. You can google or search from youtube to find out more in detail.

Attached a link of testimonial of psoriasis sufferer and other skin/body disorder after taking SOUL product.

http://22.com.my/rain/download/AC-RainTestimonial.pdf (click me)

steroid is bad, it's a drug that eventually make your body dependant on the drug and it masks the symptoms. it doesnt address the root.

Try black seed oil, eat 2 teaspoon per day.. find the cold pressed one.. that's the best, purest type

In this thread below, you mentioned your father suffered from eczema. Is eczema the same as psoriasis? I googled and found out eczema and psoriasis were two different skin diseases. Care to clarify?

Hi can you share more on your food plan?

i suffered from mild case of psoriasis when i was a heavy smoker (3days 1pack). It happened at the most embarrassing and most sensitive place, my penis. Quit smoking, eat healthy and hydrate myself and 3 months it's gone. After a while i started back smoking, damn shit came back again. Now i quit smoking totally

It has been quite some time since I posted here. I am not sure if the Psoriasis sufferers are still visiting this thread.

TCM stopped working for me after a year or so and it was a hassle. I consistently had flare-ups and it was never completely gone.

In the past two years, I have been treating it with helminthic therapy (google it, it is a "fringe" treatment approach that is not commercializable) with great successes. Psoriasis (or maybe seborrheic dermatitis) that I used to suffer from is completely/100% cleared with zero flare-ups for two years now and no diet restrictions are needed. More importantly, there is absolutely no need to apply anything topical (shampoos, creams, ointments) to the scalp and skin.
