  • Well can relate to this. I had chronic psoriasis for 40 years. Tried many different pharmaceuticals and nothing really worked that well. The coal tar baths were awful and the steriod creams thinned my skin. About 12 years ago I decided enough was enough and decided on experimenting with the natural route. My doctor said it would be a waste of time and money. I ignored him. First thing I did was try to identify triggers (things that made my patches more itchy) and realized that things like excessive sugar intake, wheat, red meat, deep fried foods, tomatoes, dairy (particularly cheese) and peanutbutter were rather inflammatory for me. Then I started an anti-inflammatory diet. Swapped my cola for freshly made carrot juices every day, and watched what I ate. Started also taking supplements daily too being Fish Oil, Zinc and Vitamin D3. Also started to do yoga to manage my stress levels and stopped using chemical skin care products. Did this all daily and within one year (it was about 8 months) every single trace of psoriasis cleared up and vanished. I have been managing and maintaining clearance pretty much ever since. 😄 To say my doctor is absolutely gobsmacked would be an understatement.

    The good thing about having psoriasis is that it serves as a warning that something isn't right with your gut health. Most people don't get this warning sign and spend most of their lives with bad gut health, ultimately contributing to far more serious conditions. We should consider ourselves lucky that our bodies give us this warning, prompting us to actually do something about it.

    She is right. I have psoriasis. I cut out gluten (and I mean totally), reduced alcohol intake to a treat on a Friday night, stopped smoking (but still have a nicotine inhaler stick thing), exercise more, drink plenty of water, get good sleep, eat anti inflammatory foods, avoid inflammatory foods, fast for at least one day a week, try to eat one meal a day, I do not eat meat but do eat fish. Blueberries seem to help. Turmeric helps. Psoriasis almost gone.
  • this is the first time i have heard someone telling people the truth about psoriasis , not going on about gels and medication like my gp refers to , which is the easy route for him .i have come to realise the problem starts in the gut .and i am trying to amend my diet , cutting out dairy products ,sugar,and gluten .its early days yet but i am willing to give a go.thank you for some great information .
  • @DivinesLegacy
    100% true, I was having severe psoriasis every single day getting worse and I lost my medicine to keep it down so I had to figure it out. And the websites I checked said nothing about gluten, until I came across a dr Eric berg video. And he mentioned gluten, and after that I realized I was eating 2 sandwiches a day and a ton of other types of bread and my psoriasis was raging. But after I stopped it’s automatically going away, which is a huge relief.

    After suffering from Psoriasis for about 8 years covering my chest and spread throughout my entire back. My own personal method of clearing all of my scales within a week (not joking) was to implement a keto diet, I ate one large meal a day: 2 Turkey burgers Large portion of Spinach Large portion of brocoli and fasted in between this. Took the supplement l-glutamine mixed with water (80g a day fot first five days) then reducing to 20g a day.
  • I cured my psoriasis when I met my husband. I had psoriasis starting when I was 12 shortly after my parent divorced. I had noticed that as my emotions flared the worst my psoriasis got. When I met my first husband at age 18 my psoriasis got worst as my relationship got worst. When I met husband two at 21 my psoriasis started to go away but not completely. I was with him for 16 years before he passed away. When I met husband three my psoriasis went completely away within three months. I was finally psoriasis free by the age of 37. Bottom line psoriasis is directly linked to emotions

    My husband lost 6 stone in weight, reversed his type 2 diabetes and cured his psoriasis as a side benefit. Getting to and maintaining a normal BMI is key to health.
  • @royedwards51
    Psoriasis is not a skin condition. It is a symptom of a deeper problem in the gut.
  • I had severe psoriasiss. It diaspeared completly after I stopped gluten gluten and other grass like grains 20 years ago. I am psroriassis free axcept one moment when I started to eat too much swiss cheese. When I quitted this bad habbit I am free again. I recommend to everyone who has autoimmune desease to quiit immediatelly gluten. It helped me with Hashimoto, gut inflamation , teeth sensitivity and many other health problems.
  • @cathyqueen5773
    I had gutnate psoriasis for over 40 years mainly on my hands elbows and knees i started using absolute collagen as a beauty supplement for for hair nails and skin (wrinkles) and a pleasant side effect my Psoriasis cleared up. It cost £54.00 for months supply but if it heals Psoriasis its worth every penny. Might not work for everyone but worth a try..good luck to all suffering from this horrible condition

    I have tried so many different diets to control my psoriasis. This is what worked for me. I don't expect this to work for everyone. (1) Intermittent fasting - Trying to go 24 hours without food at least 2-3 per week - 6:00 pm to 6:00 pm the next day. Honestly , i get as far in as 20-22 hours and i have to eat. (2) Break fast from intermittent fasting with salad and keto foods. (this is a cheap way to get Keto benefits without going 100% keto) (3) No refined sugar. No cakes , no cookies, no chocolates. I only consume sugar from raw fruit . I do eat cake and stuff on special occasion or once per week. (4) my doctor gave me folic acid, and that helped a lot. (5) improving my oral health helped a lot. I started eating 1 clove of raw garlic before going to sleep and this helped a lot. (6) I eliminated grain oils from my diet. I only use avocado , coconut and olive oil. If I consume soy oil or canola it is because I'm eating out. (7) I lost 10 pounds , from the no sugar and intermittent fasting. I also added some exercise by just doing body weight exercises at home. NB - I live in the tropics , and natural vitamin D is not an issue for me.
  • @adeemdighe
    This is a good video with the doctor hinting at some important points. for me John Pagano's book worked well. Only drawback is that the diet is really hard to follow over long periods of time.
  • @kaileyb8942
    For some reason it saddens me to hear that we are given drugs, not to treat and heal the main source of the problem but just to suppress the symptoms. It's a great money grab.
  • @babygirlnaj
    I have not seen any doctor to seek help for my scalp issues yet and my scalp issues became so much worse lately. From having dandruff then i realised it starting to develop scale like skin on the sides. Went to seek treatment at a chinese hair salon thinking it was dandruff , they mentioned its eczema but i found out myself its psoriasis. I had it on my chest too small patches. Its itchy especially on the scalp. I did some research myself, its definitely link to gut health issues. Auto-immune disease, few years back i went for blood test. Doc mentioned that my blood platelets count are very high. Abnormal. So he refer me to seek specialist and i did went to the polyclinic but the doctor said it wasnt anything serious (cos im still young). I didnt do anything other than eating vitamins , probiotics. It did improve by lessen my problem of easily having diarrhea. Then lately, my scalp became so itchy. It spread to the back of my ears and my neck. On my chest. I also have knee pain. I believe that this is all connected.
  • @ramkumar-lc1st
    Even without knowing, I followed intermittent fasting for 17+ hours daily, weekly 5-6 days(not strict diet control though) but once I stopped psoriasis occurred in hand and feet no medicines helped,, just restarted fasting skin is clean!! Seems natural mechanisms are more powerful than anything!! Even with food triggers, one bad event cause stress trigger!! IF defends everything! Thanks to her!!
  • @naomi8097
    I’ve had psoriasis since I was 5. 42 now. Constipation was normal for me all my life. I never knew people used the bathroom every day until I got married and my husband did. I went probably every 3rd day. I started probiotic and it has definitely changed things. I eat healthy but still waiting for things to change.
  • @justcallmebones
    It is true that stress, sugar, and eating lots of gluten certainly are triggers (among others) for psoriasis. However, I want to note that improving these does not guarantee you will treat your psoriasis. They can help, but I feel like I tried everything in the damn book for a natural cleansing of psoriasis and I still couldn't solve it. I take my diet/nutrition very seriously. It wasn't until I got on a biologic that I was finally able to improve. Psoriasis is still a mystery to so many. I only ask that people do not be ignorant and assume that Psoriasis is only a result of someone not taking care of themselves. It's more complicated than that.
  • @247BRIDGE
    Stress is the trigger especially mental one. You'll find out that by research. Any other imbalance that leads to Psoriasis is secondary to stress
  • @CerenAltintel
    i start the keto diet and in 3months psoriasis was gone. i wasn't believe this because i was start the keto for candida only. in time my ashma attacks was decrease. i'm still on ketosis and very happy🙃💪
