Re: anything to help psoriasis growing daily?

We helped Alyssa by removing eggs, corn, tomatoes, apples and

oranges (after going GFCF first). We're also peanut and soy free.

You might try some Celtic sea salt in the bath (it might burn,

though).

My own eczema/psoriasis, which has been HORRIBLE for the last year

and a half, and the dermatologist prescribes high strength cortisone

for me, is DIRECTLY related to my consumption of anything in the

nightshade family. It took a naturopath to help me with this one,

and I thought he was crazy when he told me I'm severely allergic to

the nightshade family. I eat tomatoes and potatoes every day.

Well, I did.

My 11 year old NT daughter developed this last year. On testing she

was found to be massively zinc deficient. We addressed the

deficiency with zinc picolate supplementation and there was a fairly

rapid resolution. (She started growing again too!)

Zinc may not be your problem, but worth considering

Debi,

Psoriasis has been a very frustrating situation for my son for many years.

He didn't develope it until he was about 12 (when we began supplements) and

I've seen it get better and worse from a lot ot things. Some of the things

which

definitely make it worse are corn, spices, orange, lime, and anything to

which he developes a food intolerance. For example, his psoriasis was not too

bad, I gave him wheat grass and coconut every day (he was originally fine with

them, but I should have rotated), his psoriasis got really bad until I figured

that one out. So rotating foods helps. I think it's underlying problem is

fungal in nature. Some other things that made it worse were some of the BED

stuff

(yck, apple cider vinegar), and some supplements (Udo's probiotics, even

though everything on the label looks ok). Good luck.

Our son developed bad dandruff when we started supplementation. I never thought

they were connected. I'll try to observe what exacerbates it. Also, his

" chicken skin " especially on upper arms has gotten very bad in the same

(supplementation) time period...

Zinc helps my son's psoriasis as well. My DAN doc recommends 1mg per lb of

body weight. My son takes 150mg per day (He weighs 140 lbs). a H.
