My two cents..
Yes, our immune system is overactive, which causes our psoriasis. It does not say that it is an auto immune disease, I am very happy with that.
But… one step further, why is our immune system overactive? That is the point. And I have written that before, e.g. as a post in the thread RE: KatT's Journal. These thoughts are not mine, but the vision of one of my docs, an internist, so a doctor with a view on the internal processes of the body.
Seen from this angle, the energy cycle in the cells, it very much makes sense that food is involved, as food is the fuel of that energy cycle.
With his prescription, that doc also prescribes a short diet of what to specifically not consume, like peanuts and grapes, and what is no problem, e.g. normal nuts and other food elements.
What we also see is the interest that is growing for the food element with Psoriasis patients as the doctors gradually have seen the comorbidities that arise with psoriasis and where diabetes is one of them. So also common medicine begins to see that food may be very important.
Still…there are a lot of people who have psoriasis without comorbidities and where the psoriasis is very difficult to treat, who are really in need of medication. I think that full recovery by the path of food is a very difficult one.
On my personal experience however I must say that I strictly avoid certain food. Recently I took a while on a regular basis peanut butter on my bread, I really love that, but I felt my feet getting worse, so I stopped that again. And I also must say that since I totally quite alcohol, for at least a year now, I was regularly drinking wine, my medication intake is very very low. Only a few pills per week.
