There are different treatments available to help control psoriasis. Treatment depends on the kind of psoriasis and no single treatment works for everyone.

Topical creams, ointments and powders, applied to the skin are the most common forms of treatment for psoriasis. They slow down or normalize excessive cell production and reduce inflammation. Anthralin, Dovonex, Salicyclic acid, corticosteriods and coal tar are common topical treatments.

Corticosteroids are often prescribed for the treatment of psoriasis. These steroids are anti-inflammatory agents and reduce the swelling and redness of lesions. Corticosteriods complement other psoriasis treatments that are used to treat chronic cases. Patients must use topical steroids properly to avoid unnecessary side effects. Some steroids are suitable for only short periods of time or may be applied only to certain areas of the skin.

When psoriasis is extensive then ultraviolet light treatment or phototherapy is used on patients. Phototherapy involves exposure of the skin to wavelengths of ultraviolet light under medical supervision. Ultraviolet light B (UVB) is an effective form of ultraviolet radiation for treating psoriasis. It is present in natural sunlight and penetrates the skin. UVB slows the abnormally rapid growth of skin cells associated with psoriasis. Treatment involves exposing the skin to an artificial UVB light source over a set period of time.

Systemic medications or prescription medications are administered to patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Biologic drugs that are made from living human or animal proteins help block or eliminate various immune system cells that cause psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Other systemic medications like cyclosporine, methotrexate, soriatane, Accutane and sulfasalazine are also used to treat chronic cases of psoriasis.

Popularity amongst patients of alternative therapies like acupuncture, herbal remedies and magnets have grown. 36 percent of adults in the United States use some form of alternative and complementary medicine to counter psoriasis.

Over the years, patients have tried different diet regimens. The turkey diet, low-protein diet and the rice diet are common among them. Response to treatment depends on individual habits and medical histories and therefore varies from patient to patient. Over a period of time, patients begin to respond to the right treatment.

Light therapy is a clear proof that the role of lighting goes beyond what we normally understand using this term. Usually, when we say lighting we think illumination or light effects, or accent lighting. We rarely associate the term with a form of therapy, but light is used to treat various illnesses and it works; more or less. Light, in its different colors and form) is used to treat acne, eczema and psoriasis, sleep related disorders, depression (seasonal or non-seasonal) and it is believed to relieve even pain. Now let’s take a look at a paradox: the harmful UV light is used to treat psoriasis.

The use of UV lighting to treat severe skin conditions is called phototherapy. One of the most severe skin conditions treated with ultra violet light is psoriasis. This is a very common skin disease, with many variations from psoriasis vulgaris (which is the most common form) to inverse psoriasis. The illness affects people of all ages, women and men with equal frequency. It is not transmissible; it occurs usually in the second decade of life and might remain a lifelong companion. The symptoms include irregular fingernail growth, raised and inflamed red lesions on the skin, covered with layers of dead skin cells and rarely, arthritis.

There is no cure for the disease, but there are some treatment options that could control the development of the skin lesions. Among them, use of UV lighting devices.

As you already know, UV light is harmful. There are three types of UV light: A, B and C. While UVC doesn’t exist in its pure form in nature (the waves coming from the sun are getting absorbed in the atmosphere) UVB and UVA are present, yet not in sufficient amounts for people suffering from psoriasis. Too much of that light and we’ll suffer too, for UV light might cause skin cancer, premature aging of the skin, cataracts and other problems, including DNA damage.

For the synthesis of vitamin D, we need UV-A, the least harmful of the three, but how does UV light help with psoriasis? Simple: it slows down the production of skin cells, thus helping to reduce inflammation. This is the very reason why overexposure causes skin disorders. Therefore, it is clear that UV light therapy should never be practiced in the absence of trained medics. The UVA light therapy method use to treat psoriasis is called PUVA. It combines psoralen and ultraviolet A. It is efficient on almost 85 % of the patients suffering from minor to medium forms of the disease. A number of 20-30 minute treatments are needed to start seeing obvious results. Too much UVA light and patients might experience adverse effects including nausea and burning.

UV-B is used alone or in combination with medicine. For example, the most popular form of treatment that employs UV-B is the Goeckerman regimen (UV-B plus coal tar). Other treatments are the Ingram method (which involves applying anthralin after a tar bath and UV-B light therapy) and a combination of UV-B with corticosteroids or other softening creams.

CeNoMeD Therapy

Center for Non Medicinal Wellness Devices, or in short CeNoMeD has phonetic pronunciation which resembles “see no medicine”.

I am, K.S.S.Kumar, Director of CeNoMeD. This CeNoMeD therapy is my brain child. I was directly or indirectly involved in practice of Magneto therapy for about 20 years (I do not have any academic medical qualification). During this tenure, I came across various occasions, and made suitable devices for an apt matching for the ailment.

In the year 2002 I was seriously affected by Psoriasis and this became a big obstruction for my career. This embarrassing situation led me to switch over many types of medicines and treatments and therapies. But the results were short lived and in some situations the scales reappeared with more vigour. I suffered mental agony and physically so embarrassed that I was in a desperate position. I got frustrated and disgusted with medicines for the simple reason, a person like me with a good ethical life, medical background and experience had to face such an embarrassing situation, and what if this comes to a common man or non medical man, what would be the situation.

This aroused interest in me to tackle / challenge Psoriasis, and I made my body as a specimen. I started to recollect all the things I have used in past. Summarized each and every aspect and came to an inference that most of the so far known therapies and treatments are based on chemistry of the body with a little approach to the aspect of mind and in most cases the compatibility is a surprise for the patient / doctor. Or to say it is his / her luck. But a relief from ailments should not be by choice or fortune. Though most of the medicines respond to some extent, the doctor and the patient are not totally confident to what extent they could anticipate the results.

Due to my experience and knowledge in magneto therapy, I strongly believe that “metabolism is an electro chemical process influenced by known and unknown stimuli’ and hence treating Psoriasis should be carried on these lines than just either with medicines or with radiation (PUVA etc) or other means. I had to convince my own people to proceed in these lines as I have to try on myself (I was a bachelor at that time). Finally after 2 years of my trails I had practically controlled it. Now I can subside the conditions or see the scales don’t appear and I can even make them reappear with much vigour or in fact I can enrage it. All my people got convinced about my trials. I have started practically applying to others, with a success rate that even the pessimistic patients started believing that they are becoming free from scales and thanked me.

The biggest surprise is that I treat all types of Psoriasis without medicines (oral Medicare). I use supplements of herbal or organic origin for oral use. Externally I give a Herbo mineral oil. A suitable set of magnetic devices which are tailor made are given to the patient. These devices are not to be used for any similar patient as they give out devastating / dangerous results.

I follow the principle of “Ashtadigbhandhana” and take no chances of leaving a corner for the condition to reappear. I have adopted certain principles from Ayurveda, Bio-electricity, Chakra therapy and Panchakarma. The principal carrier is Magneto therapy. To this I supplement the prowess of medical astrology, Vaastu and numerology. (This is the main reason each and every minor details are necessary to arrive at a comprehensive CeNoMeD treatment).

The function of our treatment method is not just to clear the scales from the superficial skin, for which you can use any local application regularly and keep the skin cleared from the scales for few days or months. Our objective is to cleanse and insulate the system or our body to get rid of Psoriasis permanently. Due to cleansing of impurities from the blood in circulation, the by product of this treatment is a also a prevention of other blood impurity related diseases like Psoriatic arthritis, debility and other auto immune diseases.

I named the entire procedure; follow up, treatment after my institute as CeNoMeD Therapy. Almost each and every person responds to this CeNoMeD therapy. In this therapy I have about 95% success rate in treating Psoriasis and even a large rate of success in treating joint pains. The CeNoMeD therapy is totally natural, safe, organic, effective and affordable. The only problem is that it takes a good lot of time to the extent of 6 months sometimes. In about 80% cases, the scales vanish in the first two to three weeks itself leaving only the scar in red colour. This will take at least 5-6 months to mix in the actual shade of the skin.

I strongly believe that this could be the best therapy, as it does not involve any sort of inorganic formulations, chemicals, electrical stimulation and controlled radiations. The patient can take the treatment in his / her home with the help of his / her family members. Since an online consultancy is available, the treatment becomes much easier.

Though a large scope of research is in the offering, the practical limitations have led me to venture to this stage only. If this CeNoMeD therapy could come to the access of all psoriatics, I feel my life is fruitful.

An alternative treatment for psoriasis is detoxification. This treatment may just be the solution that you need to keep your skin disorder under control. According to naturopathic doctors, treating psoriasis helps by treating your liver. Psoriasis has been linked to the presence of several microbial byproducts in the blood. These signs point to an abnormal function of the liver. Your liver is supposed to be responsible for filtering and detoxifying the blood. With microbial byproducts found in the blood, it is an indication that your liver is either overloaded with excessive levels of these toxins or that there is a reduction in its detoxification abilities.

Psoriasis, which means “to itch” in greek, is a chronic ailment whereby your skin forms red lesions that develop into scales or patches all over. These red eruptions make the skin itch leaving marks. The intensity of your skin disorder is likely to differ from that of another person. Intensity levels range from a massive outbreak to as mild as just a few patches. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder. It is usually genetic but is not infectious or contagious. Although it appears that there is no particular cure for this disease, there are some things that you can do to reduce the level of your itch.

Naturopathic doctors say that the inflammation of the skin, red irruptions, scales and flakes on the skin which cause itching are clear signs of toxins. An alternative treatment for psoriasis namely detoxification, should help to remove harmful toxins and poisons from your liver and body. There are in fact many ways to detoxify for psoriasis and you may wish to adopt a combination where appropriate:

• Detox diet. To detoxify for psoriasis, a dedicated detox diet program that helps you to cleanse your liver will help. Consult a naturopathic doctor for this. He should be able to advise you on how to go about with a liver and a body cleanse. Do take note that women who are pregnant should not go on a detox diet nor consider any form of detoxification during their pregnancy. Also, if you are taking any conventional medications, get your doctor’s advice before going on a detox diet.

In all situations, a healthy and balanced diet is a must. You should not consume food or drinks that will aggravate your disease. Avoid caffeine, such as coffee or strong tea. Herbal tea is also recommended for psoriasis. Spicy food and alcohol should be restricted. Refrain from red meat, shellfish and tropical fruits.

• Herbal supplements. There are many types of herbal supplements for detoxification of your liver. These herbal supplements help enhance your immunity system and can prevent the psoriasis from recurring. Peony Red, Moutan, Lithospermum, Millettia, Salvia, Carthamus, Sophora (root), Rehmannia Raw, Gardenia, Isatis Root, and Smilax are some of the herbs used in psoriasis tablets.

• Homeopathy. Homeopathy is an alternative treatment that has been effective for many types of diseases. For a homeopathic remedy for detoxification, you will need to consult a practitioner who has specialised knowledge.

• Hydra detox system. Hydra detox system is a machine by which you soak or immerse your feet, for approximately half an hour, in water. The machine helps to remove the harmful toxins through the pores of your feet. It is a new age method for detoxification of psoriasis and can be included as part of your overall treatment plan to become well.

• Reduce stress levels. Psoriasis like most other diseases is worsened by stress. Stress increases the toxins in your body, thus resulting in negative effects on your health and skin. You should try these suggestions for alleviating stress levels: meditation, yoga and sleeping well. Getting rid of stress helps to rebalance your system to a healthier and stronger state.

Yes it can be extremely annoying and embarrassing having a scalp condition like dandruff, eczema, scalp infections or a nasty itchy red rash on your scalp.

If you are suffering from:

itchy scalp, sore scalp or do you have a flaky dry scalp with redness and rashes that drive you crazy?

scalp picking - do you constantly find yourself picking at & scratching?

oily scalp and limp hair leaving you feeling less than your best

embarrassing dandruff falling on your clothes

or even a fungal infection of your scalp…that can lead to lesions or scalp sores.

Hair falling out & patches on your scalp

Your instinct might be to pick up a product from the store shelf or your doctor. Most of these scalp treatments that promise relief from dry scalp conditions sound very attractive until you start reading the fine print.

Sodium Laureth/Lauryl Sulphate (SLS)? What’s that? Why do you have to call a Poison Control Center if you accidentally swallow shampoo? And what are those warning labels on the back all about? What does it do to your head if it’s that toxic?

Stop! What you must know is that several chemicals, especially SLS, strip the natural oils from the skin and even corrode it, along with your eye membranes. Have you also noticed that your hair has been thinning? Well hair follicle damage is another little known but very common symptom of these chemicals.

Actually, most commercial shampoos & scalp treatments are designed to meet people’s “sensory” expectations…offering instant gratification and the illusion that they are doing their job. So therein lies the problem. For example adding silicone to conditioner induces an artificial shine but in truth can create problems long term including sensitivities.

Most people expect a shampoo to:

Foam up nicely

Smell good

Take all the so-called “nasty” oiliness out of their hair

Make their hair feel squeaky-clean

And that’s a reasonable ask - think about it…if your shampoo didn’t foam up, smell good, or leave your hair feeling squeaky-clean, would you trust it? Well, here’s the thing: 90% of commercial shampoos achieve the foaming effect using the equivalent of engine degreasers to strip off not only dirt and grime but also valuable natural oils that your scalp needs.

Yes —your scalp needs natural oils. Without them, your body has no natural defence – those oils are there for a reason! Your scalp needs to maintain a natural PH balance that if disturbed - can develop into a dry, itchy irritated scalp. The good news is that there are many natural remedies you can use with moisturising oils and natural powerful alternatives to heal & reverse any scalp problem by restoring balance safely. You can easily repair follicle and damage - even boost hair growth and use your own home remedy for scalp cell regeneration. There are also the artificial aromas that are added – its alarming the huge percentage of people who are mildly to severely averse or allergic to artificial scents – resulting in itchy scalp, skin rashes etc and we don’t even know it.

So what non toxic itchy scalp treatments and natural remedies can help? Well there are many non toxic shampoos which are nourishing and conditioning while still giving you’re the “foam effect”, they smell devine with the addition of the natural oils they contain. So you do have a choice and it does NOT have to cost you more – in fact most of them are less – you just have to know what to look for.

So lets have a look at natural oils for treating your scalp…

Here are some of my favorite natural oils you can use for hair & scalp treatments.

Zinc Pyrithione: Wonderful stuff for dandruff & itchy scalp conditions. First synthesized in the 1930’s, this is the most widely used active ingredient from a natural source.

SOOTHING & HEALING ANTIFLAMMATORY REMEDY: Apply a mixture of 1 teaspoon of Neem oil (antifungal & antiitching) 1 teaspoon Teatree or Manuka (also antifungal) which much stronger than teatree, one teaspoon of Rosemary oil and one teaspoon of Lavender oil together in 3 tablespoons of carrier oils such as Olive or Almond oil (Wheatgerm and Macadamia carrier oils closely match your natural sebum) and apply to your scalp daily.

Alternatively add the oils together minus the olive/almond oil to one cup if water in spray bottle and shake vigorously then spray on your roots. If you can get a teaspoon of hemp oil add that to the mix as well.

GARDEN REMEDY: Go to your garden and get 3 sprigs of Rosemary, and chop up and add to 3 tea bags of Chamomile tea. Boil gently, let cool, strain and rinse your hair with this liquid for a calming antiflammatory effect.

As with all remedies please patch test first and use at your own risk. And but only non toxic shampoos without ingredients that cause your head to react, flake itch and burn….plus more remedies in “Beautiful Hair & Healthy Scalp Secrets & Remedies ”

Heres a little about the oils above which can be mixed to create various formulas to treat different conditions and add condition to your hair found in my eBook “Beautiful Hair & Healthy Scalp Secrets & Remedies “.

Neem Oil: Derived from a type of tree bark it is an effective fungicide and insecticide (great for head lice when used with geranium, rosemary, lavender and eucalyptus oils). It has a very strong odor which can overpower other fragrances but its effectiveness is proven:

In clinical studies Neem extracts and oil were found to be as effective as coal tar and cortisone in treating psoriasis with none of the usual side effects accompanying the use of Neem as there was with Coal tar and cortisone.

When applied to the skin, Neem extracts and oil removes redness and itching while improving the condition of the skin while being treated. In the case of eczema clinical studies demonstrate that even the application of weaker Neem leaf extracts effectively cured acute conditions of eczema with the fresh cold pressed oil with its high concentration of active ingredients.

Neem effectively kills the bacteria that cause Acne and studies prove that Neem will reduce inflammation caused by acne and other bacterial infections.

Its also good for other skin conditions such as Dry Skin, Wrinkles, Dandruff, Itchy Scalp, Skin Ulcers and Warts which can be effectively remedied with soaps and other products containing Neem oil.

Lavender Oil: Lavender is known for its calming properties both emotional and physical. There are different varieties of lavender and certain ones are favored more than others for medicinal treatments. Lavender is effective to soothe itching from skin and sore scalp inflammations such as burning red itchy scalp, and dandruff to insect bites as well as having a powerful calming effect to treat scalp itching and irritated scalp as well as relax you and help you nod off to sleep.

In one study of 86 people with alopecia areata (a disease of unknown cause characterized by significant hair loss, generally in patches), those who massaged their scalps with lavender and other essential oils daily for 7 months experienced significant hair re-growth compared to those who massaged their scalps without the essential oils. It is not entirely clear from this study whether lavender (or a combination of lavender and other essential oils) was responsible for the beneficial effects. Scalp massage is also highly beneficial to stimulate follicles and blood supply to the skin’s surface.

Aromatherapists also use lavender as a tonic in inhalation therapy to treat headaches, nervous disorders, and exhaustion. Herbalists treat skin ailments, such as fungal infections (like candidiasis), dandruff, eczema of the scalp, wounds, scalp acne, with lavender oil. It is also used externally in a healing bath for circulatory disorders and as a rub for rheumatic ailments (conditions affecting the muscles and joints).

Tea Tree Oil: One of the strongest known natural antiseptics. Also has punative skin penetrating capacity as an anti-inflamatory, anti-bacterial, germicide and fungicide. The scientific name for it is Melaleuca Alternifolia.

Rosemary Oil: Rosemary oil has a pronounced action on the brain and the central nervous system and is wonderful for clearing the mind and mental awareness, while having excellent brain stimulant properties, as well as improving memory.

It helps with headaches, migraines, neuralgia, mental fatigue and nervous exhaustion and the antiseptic action of rosemary oil is especially suitable for intestinal infections and diarrhea, easing colitis, dyspepsia, flatulence, hepatic disorders and jaundice and relieving pain associated with itchy flaky scalp, rheumatism, arthritis, muscular pain and gout. It also helps for arteriosclerosis, palpitations, poor circulation and varicose veins.

The diuretic properties of rosemary oil are useful with reducing water retention during menstruation, and also with obesity and cellulite.

On the respiratory system, it is effective for asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, sinus and whooping cough. Because of its astringent action, it is also effective for countering sagging skin. Its stimulating action benefits scalp disorders and encourages hair growth.

On the skin, it helps to ease congestion, puffiness and swelling and can also be used for acne, dry inflamed scalp, dermatitis and eczema, but a very popular use of this oil is the use in hair care products, as it has a pronounced positive effect on the health of the hair and scalp. It increases the circulation to the scalpand is therefore also effective for promoting hair growth after having conditions such as dandruff or scalp sores causing hair loss, scalp itching and scratching.

Rosemary oil is effective for mental fatigue, circulation problems, pain relief for the muscular system, decongests the respiratory tract and is a skin and hair booster.

Look on the internet for alternative medicines, or herbal remedies. There are countless listings for these and similar categories. Herbal remedies for Psoriasis and other diseases has been gaining acceptance in our culture. More people are turning to a natural way of taking care of themselves.

But for some people it is a last resort. When standard medicines are not working, some people will turn to an herbal remedy for Psoriasis.

As an herbal remedy for Psoriasis in 1993 the New England Journal of Medicine came out with some interesting outcomes. They asserted that fish oil as a dietary supplement was not better than corn oil, when used as a dietary supplement.

The herbal remedy Evening Primrose oil when used for Psoriasis has not had the greatest track record. The results have been spotty. This may be different in time. But now there are few situations based on anecdotal reports and studies of Evening Primrose Oil as an herbal remedy for Psoriasis. As a topical solution the herbal remedy for Psoriasis, Evening primrose oil has been used.

Shark cartilage has been used as an herbal remedy for Psoriasis. As an herbal remedy for Psoriasis AE 941 a shark cartilage extract, has shown some favorable results. As of now there are clinical studies taking place regarding this product. Taken orally this herbal remedy for Psoriasis can be found in most health food stores and many supermarket chains that carry vitamins as well.

Studies have shown that shark cartilage extract prevents the formation of new blood vessels. The growth of new blood vessels is believed to play a role in the development and progression of psoriasis lesions. Shark cartilage is also known to have anti-inflammatory properties. AE-941 is a shark cartilage extract that has demonstrated some promising results in treating psoriasis. It is currently in clinical studies for treating psoriasis. It is taken by mouth once a day. Short-term side effects of AE-941 include nausea and skin rashes. Long-term side effects are not known at this time. Shark cartilage is normally taken in pill form as a food supplement and can be found at most health food stores.

Oregano oil has been used as an herbal remedy for Psoriasis. Turmeric, other vitamins and St Johns Worth have addressed the issue of treating Psoriasis. The results from these items has been mixed as well

Opposite views have been expressed by western and eastern cultures. Western thinking indicates that there is no permanent cure for Psoriasis. Eastern culture thinks differently. Their way of living indicates that there is an herbal remedy for Psoriasis. The herbal remedy for Psoriasis is done though natural herbs.

There are many forms of treatment for Psoriasis, but none more relevant as in realizing what researchers are now saying, and what my dermatologist has been preaching to me for years… that the root of Psoriasis is a T-cell imbalance (immune system) and a build-up of toxins within your intestinal tract (mainly your colon walls) where parasites thrive. As a long time sufferer of Psoriasis, I had been looking for a Psoriasis Treatment most of my life and was successful on three separate occasions, one of which was accidental.

For the benefit of all who are afflicted by Psoriasis, I will briefly describe my episodes of a successful Psoriasis Treatment, although these were not permanent solutions or cures.

The first was back in 1974 when I had a bout with a pseudo-tumor (meaning false) on my left optic nerve. Although benign, when inflamed, it would cause excruciating pain. Long story short… to avoid the risk of surgery, I was treated with a fairly new drug on the market at the time called ‘prednisone’. I can tell you that in a matter of a few days, all of my Psoriasis had disappeared. Unfortunately, no one can remain on prednisone indefinitely, and not too long after I was off the drug, the Psoriasis came back double. Today, this drug is only used on extreme cases as a Psoriasis Treatment.

The second time, was in 1992 when I was taking huge doses (10,000 IUs) of beta-carotene per day. More on this in an upcoming article… and why.

The third time , was when I began my personal quest to cure my Psoriasis forever. After much research dating back to some 2000 years ago, when Psoriasis was thought to be leprosy, it occurred to me that there had to be more to Psoriasis than “we knew”. Now researches are discovering and generally confirming what I had suspected all this time… a combination of toxins (parasites), poor eating habits, and some kind of imbalance of the immune system (T-cells), which led me to my own logical deduction and method of a Psoriasis Treatment.

But before we go into the above in depth, lets explore the other forms of oral Psoriasis Treatment such as drugs since we now know that Psoriasis is an internal problem, and the external appearance just an expression of whats happening inside.

You should know that using drugs as a Psoriasis Treatment is foolish and completely unnecessary in my opinion. The side effects are so devastating that it’s simply not worth the risk. Did not the juice man cure his prostate cancer by returning to the source. Did not Dr. Fishbein cure his stage-4 brain tumor by returning to the source. Don’t you think that if you can do the latter… that you can do the same for Psoriasis?

The most commonly used ‘oral’ drugs as a treatment for Psoriasis are:

Prednisone, Methotrexate, Acitretin (Soriatane), and finally Cyclosporin (Neoral)

If you do your research on any of these drugs and pay attention to the possible side effects, I guarantee you’ll stay away. Thankfully, most people don’t take drugs for Psoriasis and stick to the all too expensive, band-aid solutions, such as cortisone based creams.

These creams (also known as topical treatments) shouldn’t even be categorized as a Psoriasis Treatment. What they are… are simply Psoriasis Itch Reliefs. They simply help in reducing the build-up of scales which cause unbearable itching, causing you to scratch until you bleed. I’ve tried most, be it Dovobet, Dermovate, Dovonex, Dithranol, and others, and they all give the same basic results after one to two applications per day. A very expensive, life-time band-aid solution, to treating Psoriasis.

I won’t even venture in ‘light therapy’ and ‘moisturizers’ and other relief forms as a Psoriasis Treatment, except to say that any tanning salon or a day in the hot sun, will give you the same results. Anybody who has Psoriasis knows that a little sweat from heat will loosen those scales almost immediately. But it is still temporary relief methods.

Now comes the truth about a serious Psoriasis Treatment… very simple, but requiring discipline.

And without embarking on a time machine to explain the connection between Psoriasis of some 2000 years ago and Psoriasis of today, I’ll just repeat what my dermatologist once said, “You weren’t born with Psoriasis and it isn’t hereditary, so go back to when you didn’t have it. He was referring to toxins in my system.

A true Psoriasis Treatment, which will cure you within 6 months to a year or maybe two, will require you to understand that your body is not a garbage disposal and must be cleansed and kept clean as much as possible. This can only be done through a proper diet which in turn will strengthen your immune system naturally, and restore the balance, while eliminating toxins on a daily basis. Parasites in your body, then and now, are the main causes of diseases.
