Q: Having psoriasis is no picnic. Having to battle this annoying disease is very draining to oneself. I am very confused as to what I should be taking. What would be essential for me take?
A: Psoriasis is caused by a pileup of skin cells that have replicated too quickly. There is a strong genetic link, but other factors which may underlie psoriasis include bowel toxicity, incomplete digestion of protein, and impaired liver function. Allergy testing may help identify if something in your food or environment is causing eczema or psoriasis flare-ups. Consider beginning with a colon cleanse to treat psoriasis. This might entail purchasing a product containing fiber and herbs that gently exfoliate the colon removing unwanted toxins. You may consider colon hydrotherapy - a fast, efficient way to clean out the gut. Ensure your daily diet contains a minimum of 35 grams fiber and enough water to avoid constipation. Avoid sugar, soft drinks, alcohol, yeast (found in bread, wine, beer), coffee, spicy foods, and cheese (molds). These foods can aggravate psoriasis. Omega-3 (2,000-4,000 mg daily) is needed. Topically apply fish oil on dry patches to decrease inflammation and alleviate itching.
