How I Cured My Psoriasis By Diet

[alan540]

Hi Jim. I suspect you're right. I expect the consultant will show little to no interest in what I'm doing to manage my condition naturally. It's outside of their remit - they're only interested in prescribing drugs.

When my GP asked if I needed any more steroid creams and moisturisers a couple of months ago - a week before I returned to work - I said that I'd stopped using them 6 weeks prior. She asked what I was using and I said nothing apart from changing my diet. The lack of interest was shocking.

The next step for me on this follow-up was due to be chemotherapy drugs if I hadn't improved, and I had not been improving at all by using the various potent steroids and emollients. I'd already decided that the various systemic drugs used to treat palmar plantar psoriasis with their well documented serious side effects was not the way I was going to go - it seemed like a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Changing diet has made a massive improvement to my psoriasis, and also to my general health as well. I've now lost 3 stone, my resting heart rate is down and so is my blood pressure. For me it's a win win situation without the risk of serious side effects from immunosuppressant drugs.
