Hi everyone

[JohnRedfern]

Hello John to Psoriasis Club.

Most of what you mention is in the Natural Treatments Board you can find it here:

1. Cut out the crap food - no gluten, no sugar, no dairy, no nightshades.
No Thanks: I love food to much.

I understand, but you don't have to do it all at once, plus once you get the digestive system back in working order and the p under control, you can start introducing these foods in moderation again with limited reactions (that's what is happening to me anyways )

2. Detox using the following colon cleanse method - Bentonite + Psyllium Husk drink. Also start taking an anti-fungal like Caprylic Acid 350 mg daily to kill any yeast overgrowth and add a probiotic to help your leaky gut heal.
No Thanks: I believe in letting your body do it's own thing.

Using this was a big turning point for me. Maybe its because it also forced me to drink 3l of water a day but for once in my life I actually felt like I had expelled everything and in jiffytime! (I don't want to get too graphic :-)) I used to suffer from terrible piles as well which are no longer an issue.

3. Start taking Vitamin D3 daily along with either fish oil or turmeric supplements (both are highly anti -inflammatory)
One should get vitamins in their diet and not rely on supplements in my opinion.

Yes I agree, but out of all the 3 above sunshine/Vitamin D3 is essential. Getting your vitamin d3 levels checked is definitely worth looking into.

4. Start drinking a raw vegetable shakes (1.5l over course of the day)
No Thanks: Water is fine, but Merlot even better.

5. Start taking a Multi - digestive enzyme that includes Bethaine HCL before meals to break down your protein intake more efficiently
Taking another supplement no thanks.

I only had to take this for a few weeks and had to stop as it seemed to have rectified my enzyme imbalance. Also got rid of a stubborn patch on my hip.

6. Use extra virgin coconut oil or jojoba oil as a moisturizer 3 times a day minimum
Yay we agree, I'm a huge fan of Coconut Oil

I would not be a happy camper if I couldn't get my hands on the coconut oil!

7. De-stress through one or all of the following; exercise, massages, acupuncture, meditation, yoga
Agree again removing stress should be at the top of your list, but count me out of the exercise bit.

I've been thinking a lot about this lately too. I think taking control of your life, i.e. change in job, taking up a hobby, creating goals to help avoid stress triggers is another viable option to lowering those stress levels, so not all options are exercise related ;-)

8. Last but not least - Talk about it, don't bottle up your feelings and don't be embarrassed to tell people you have psoriasis. Everyone has their own problems, so your problem will be of little consequence to them.
Again you are right the more you talk about it the easier it is to cope, I love reading the positive comments from members of Psoriasis Club saying how the forum has helped them.

Well all in all not bad for me 3/8, as you can tell it's not for me and I've seen to many scams out there where people are making money from these suggestions, but good luck to you.

I have bought one of those ebooks, spot free in 30 days or whatever the f**k it is called. Scumbags period.

Thanks for the welcome Fred,

John Redfern
