Some PS diet questions. Eggs? Green Grapes? Proteins?

Still Jim… you fit in the theory of the mitochondrial disease… 

ohhh do I that sounds special to me 

Sounds scary to me    But most things medical sound scary to me.

nothing to be scared of..
your whole body works because of Basically chemical reactions. Food is processed into material that is able to give energy to your cells so they can live. Very very normal. The number of reactions is gigantic. It can be easily be guessed that not every reaction will work perfectly. E.g. with aging I guess things will change. Processes that do not work perfectly is no problem, but they can give rise to unfinished elements of reactions, garbage in fact.

Looked up mitochondrial disease - I would think you’d definitely know if you had that..

Well… with psoriasis… Nobody looks in that direction. I have never ever heard a derm speak about it.
The only one I heard about it, was an internist, probably as he is looking much more to the internal person and the processes of the body.
You must admit that nobody seems to know the cause of psoriasis.
Yes… immune system goes berserk, but how and why?
Yes… all kind of cytokines are involved, and if we suppress them, it goes better. But where do they come from? Why do they at all get so high?
Yes… probably genes are involved, but why ? How? What effects do they cause and why?
We know the results and several steps in between, but we don’t know the cause..

But that's just it... nobody knows the cause yet.

Right! and this doc I know is pointing at the mitochondria, which makes sense, as a lot of symptoms and problems can be explained from this point of view.    But now someone needs to be so clever to do some goed research and validate that.

Yes BUT.... nobody knows the cause yet 

To me a lot of things make sense (although medical stuff doesn't really  )  I just personally tend to like a bit more absolutes when it comes to this or that definitely causes and/or helps with that or this.  Again, I think it's common sense that what we eat can contribute to many MANY things when it comes to health, ailments, diseases, etc. (to get back on subject) AND I think we're all different.  If I came on here and said I took "Drug X" and it "cured" me........ well wouldn't you want more proof than just I haven't had a flare up since I started Drug X?  I know I would.    As for what causes (and it may be more than one thing) psoriasis.... the jury is still out on that one for now.

I think there is no jury for this. There is no voting no formal decisions of people, no judge can decide.
Only Science and research counts.
And for research you need a hypothesis to investigate. And I think there is a solid one. Not by me because my medication works for me.
No from a real doctor with many years of experience in medicine, he has even been teaching in the U.S. . The only thing is that he has a different approach, other than mainstream, but on a solid and logical basis.
