Dear Dr.,
I've had mild psoriasis(elbows, knees, ankles)for 20 years, which I controlled with sun and occasional steroid creams. AFTER I quit smoking, it flared up worse, to include spots on my thighs, shins and hands. I have recently been able to keep it at bay through diet and relaxation (yoga)...for about the past month. The main things I avoid eating are things with refined cane sugar and refined flour, white rice, etc. No nightshades, no fried foods, no red meat. Lots of raw and cooked vegetables. (Basically, Dr. Pagano's diet). I was tested and don't have underlying candida problems.
My question is - when I do want something sweet, I add honey or real maple syrup. I don't seem to get a reaction , but could these be keeping the psoriasis from clearing away completely? Right now all the areas are slightly pinkish and not scaley. But they haven't vanished, either. Is it a question of time, too??
I'd appreciate any feedback.

Yes, it is basically a question of time. A good rule of thumb is that the longer you have had psoriasis the longer it will take to fully heal. Since you've had it for 20 years it will probably take longer than if you had it for only five.
There is a good cream as well.

Have you looked into parasite's at all, it goes hand in hand with psorisis very often, also keep the colon clean; Everyone i believe is different when it comes to the sweetners in this area. definetly one with this condition should not do much; Doing a vegetable juice fast with mostly green drink and only 3-4 carrots, would be something of benifit; Fasting for 8 days if you can-with water and veggies juices; Alo Vera ia also a very good thing to put in at that time; This would move things along quicker perhaps;

Thanks for your input. You started mentioning a good cream.. would that be Dovonex or something else over-the-counter? I basically just use a light coating of vaseline. The scales are really negligible right now. Mainly just inflammation.
Also: I am doing the juicing (celery, romaine lettuce, spinach mainly... few carrots or other roots like beets on occasion).
I've had the parasite tests. Showed some yeast/candida, but not bad. I may want to try the fasting, anyway... to 'start clean...' But I haven't gone as far as a full colonic. Is that an absolute necessity?

Hi, Mira.
The only way I have seen psoriasis be cleared is by eliminating LGS and then the attendant C-RS which may be present. You need to have several repeats (at a good lab--no local ones) to hope to rule out candida. To DO that (deal with the LGS) the first thing one has to do is become an expert in SR. Everyone knows that stress is related to psoriasis and it is not acute stress but stress-effect storage that does it. See the homepage about stress.
In the meantime, you can get some relief with the essential fatty acids on the homepage. See the archives.

Book, The Cure is in the cupboard by Dr. Cass Ingram.
Oil of oregano is a potent germ killer. Jean Valnet, in his book The Practice of Aromatherapy, describes how the oil of oregano is so strong that it is capable of sterilizing sewage. Research published in the International Journal of Food Microbiology, found that oil of oregano is an excellent germicide capable of killing a wide range of fungi and bacteria. According to the Journal of Applied Nutrition, oil of oregano is highly effective for killing candida. Researchers in Mexico found it possesses strong antiparasitic actions, especially against Giardia. It has also been proven to help with asthma, chronic bronchitis, colds, digestion problems, flu, mental disease, whooping cough, pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, warts, muscular pain, and arthritis, just to name a few. Oil of oregano is also a powerful painkiller. An article published in Phytotherapy Research describes how oregano oil superseded antiinflammatory drugs in reversing pain and inflammation and is nearly as powerful as morphine as a painkiller. As published by Sarer, researchers describe its antiseptic powers as remarkable. The Cure Is In the Cupboard, by Dr. Cass Igram, explains many more uses and goes into detail about the proper dosage for each use. As Dr. Cass Igram states "There is one thing you MUST know: Oil of Oregano KILLS GERMS AND PAIN.......ANY KIND!!!

Psoriasis
An Italian study of 316 psoriasis patients, compared to 366 controls, made the following relationships:
Psoriasis is linked to:
Increased Body Mass
Decreased intake of carrots, tomatoes & fresh fruits. Decreased intake of carotenoids.
C0Enzyme Q10 Found to Recycle Vitamin E
In my May 1992 newsletter, I reported to you that researchers found Vitamin C reactivated vitamin E after it has been oxidized by a free radical.
Now researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have found that Coenzyme Q10 may also help vitamin E stay active in our bodies by reactivating it. "Specifically, CoQ10 reduced the phenoxyl radical of vitamin E and recycled it back to alpha tocopherol."
Studies are showing synergistic effects between many antioxidant nutrients: C+E, Q+E, A+E, Selenium + E, and probably more.
