Organic remedy for Psoriasis?

Question

My ears have recently been tuned to Balinese medicine and organic remedies. I have suffered from Psoriasis almost my entire life and Western medicine has not really helped me much. Also being that experts say it's an immune system problem, I'd prefer to treat it from inside rather than outside where I'm just treating the symptom on my skin. Does anyone have any good advice for me? Any websites? Any personal experiences?

Answer 1

Psoriasis seems to be exacerbated by stress so basic meditation does seem to help.  My man has had it all his life so I have gone down the alternative route with him as well in an effort to help.  Dead sea mud did seem to do some good as did cutting out wheat/ yeast...but basically tuning yourself into your own stress patterns, being aware of your triggers and making time to relax have made the most difference to him.

Good luck x

Answer 2

Psoriasis is driven by the immune system, especially involving a type of white blood cell called a T cell. Normally, T cells help protect the body against infection and disease. In the case of psoriasis, T cells are put into action by mistake and become so active that they trigger other immune responses, which lead to inflammation and to rapid turnover of skin cells. These cells pile up on the surface of the skin, forming itchy patches or plaques. The first outbreak of psoriasis is often triggered by emotional or mental stress or physical skin injury, but heredity is a major factor as well. In about one-third of the cases, there is a family history of psoriasis.

Transfer Factor is natural immune modulator which can educate your immune system to work properly in smart way.

Transfer Factor Tri-Factor is recommended for Psoriasis condition. (You can find the information about Transfer Factor Tri-Factor at http://www.indigoworld.4healthdirect.com...

For your information, here are some of the testimonials:

During May 2000, I decided to see if transfer factors could

lessen the red-raw, itchy psoriasis down my lower back. This

condition arrived after the birth of my last child 16 years ago

(my Dad also suffered with it as a teenager).

I proceeded to take the recommended maintenance dose of

1 capsule morning and night and didn’t expect a quick fix for

something I had had for so long. But during June the itching

and the scaliness was reduced. I became aware that I was

scratching less and that convinced me to continue.

I then started to also use the transfer factors clear gel. I

decided to attack it from the outside too!

By mid July the redness had gone and itching had stopped -

even when I was hot from exercise sessions (when the

waistband normally aggravated it).

I am amazed to say that the only thing I now have is scarring

from my years of scratching.

But this is also now fading as new skin grows.

Transfer factors have resolved a major health condition for

me. I have had it for a very long time and nothing else has

ever worked.

I also used a triple dose – 9 capsules per day - of transfer

factors for my 16-year-old son when he suffered a virus that

affected his inner ear, leaving him with no balance and

chronic head-spin.

Two days later, he was back at school.

I cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful new, 100%

natural product.

I have suffered with chronic psoriasis for almost 40 years. I

have been to doctors, skin specialists,

naturopaths…everywhere, looking for relief; but finding none.

One day my nephew introduced me to this new product

called transfer factors. I was extremely sceptical.

It was a summer’s day and I was wearing shorts, displaying

my red-raw legs with little skin remaining from all the

relentless itching and scratching. I explained to him that my

whole body was in a similar condition.

I took a higher than usual dose of transfer factors to attack

the problem, taking 5 capsules a day for 5 days, increasing

the dosage by 2 capsules every 5 days until I noticed a

difference. I also used clear transfer factors gel twice daily to

soothe and help heal the skin.

The results were almost instant. The itching stopped!

Then over a period of three weeks I got the dosage up to 9

per day, and stayed on that for a further 4 weeks. Then I

slowly reduced the dosage whilst carefully monitoring

progress to ensure my condition did not worsen. I settled on 3

per day as a maintenance dose.

The results have completely changed my life! Within one

month I could see my self-inflicted wounds beginning to heal.

With the itching gone it continued to improve, and within 2

months I was able to shave my legs again; something I had

not been able to do for years.

The most amazing thing is that 6 months later all the scars

have gone and I have no trace of the problem that hounded

me for almost 40 years! Thank you nephew.

Since I bought my first bottle of transfer factors, I have seen

the disappearance of a rather bad case of psoriasis of the

scalp within the first week. Plus I now have a general feeling

of better health as well as holding of the effects of the flu and

other winter ills I normally suffer from.

Stuart Mackirdy

I had psoriasis on 90% of my body, and it was becoming very

difficult to heal.

I had been visiting my dermatologist for a very long time, and

she prescribed every ointment available but nothing worked.

In fact it just got worse.

Then I discovered enhanced second generation transfer

factors+. I started with two capsules daily with 8oz of fluid.

I did not see any change immediately but the first three days

the itching stopped. The second week my limbs had started

clearing.

I feel so good today for the first time in seven years, I was

able to wear my shorts outside my house, and I'm glad to say

that 75% of my body is so smooth.

Transfer factors seem to have helped build my weak immune

system to a system that is strong and full of energy.

I am 24 years old and have suffered from psoriasis ever since

I was a little girl. I have very young memories of going to

specialist after specialist, steroid creams, tar washes for my

hair, taking tablets, staying away from diary products.......

even going to solariums (I was told exposure to UV rays

would help fight psoriasis - but runs the risk of skin

cancers).......the list goes on.

My mother and I tried everything.

Psoriasis was on my elbows, scalp, behind my ears, in my

ears, backs of my arms and trunk of my body.

Recently I started taking the advanced formula transfer

factors and within 5 days I noticed an amazing difference.

Not only am I excited that I don't have psoriasis anymore but

others have noticed too!!!

My husband can't believe the difference and the speed the

transfer factors worked (he was a little sceptical to begin

with). It is so nice to have nice skin!!

Not only has it helped my psoriasis but has also helped a

severe pain in my lower back and legs. At the age of 10 I fell

off a swing and have suffered from back problems as a result.

After I had my first child the back pain was so severe I would

be at the chiropractor up to 3 - 4 times a week for the first 6

weeks.

At that time I was diagnosed with scoliosis (not sure of

spelling) and told that I had to keep to a very strict

chiropractor regime. Very Expensive Exercise!!

Now because of the advanced formula transfer factors, I don't

have ANY back or leg pain. I really do feel great!!

Jenni Hinrichsen

I have a daughter who has suffered with psoriasis for many

years.

Within one month of taking the advanced transfer factor

formula, her psoriasis seems to have disappeared

completely!

She is so pleased with the results that she cannot be without

it.

Thank you!

Most people say that you can not get rid of Psoriasis

I know I was taught that in my medical training.

but from personal experience

my Hubby and his Son and several friends got rid of it from taking certain vitamins.

In my Hubbies case it was not just on a small part of his body he was covered on 80% of his body

his knees bled when he knelt down and so did his elbows.

he took the vitamins and it went away it started to come back after 15 years so he started again

and once again it went away.

every one I know that took those vitamins and slightly changed their diets it went away.

if you would like a list of them (no I am not selling them)

feel free to email me.

Your information is incorrect psoriasis is a hereditary disease, three genes are involved. One gene turns on the skin cell to produce benign tumors. The second gene turns on multiplication of the rogue cells. The third one allows them to move from place to place in the blood stream. If All three genes are defective you will have psoriasis over most of your body.  The immune system only comes into play when the "T" cell lymphocytes become activated against the rogue skin cells. This doesn't always happen but it is a normal cycle of you body to protect itself against an invading tumor. Your doctor can tell if it has by doing three blood tests an antibody test sedimentation rate and a TNF alpha test. The sooner you get real medical help the less likely that will happen. If you have it only on your knees and elbows it may never happen. The more widespread it is the more likely the "T" cells will become activated.

If the immune system is involved the only treatment that will probably really help you is some form of chemo-therapy. Study up on your disease and you will find that in the early stages you may be helped by some local compounds. Those are well known to dermatologists. They can also do the tests and the IV therapy needed in the later stages of the disease.

My wife has 85% of her skin involved the only medication that has ever helped her has been Remicade and Cyclosporone in combination with Enbril was also somewhat helpful. Get to a real doctor don't fool with this. In the later stages psoriasis is crippling. No herbal remedy has ever been shown to help psoriasis. No diet has ever shown real documented results. Don't wait until the "T" cells attack your joints that is to late. psoriatic-arthritis is more painful and more crippling than rhumatoid arthritis.

There used to be a doctor that treated it by removing all simple carbs and processed foods from the diet.  He was famous for it.  I have no idea if it helped I do not remember who he was.  There was a book.  It is an autoimmune disorder often linked to other problems in the body like arthritus and colon problems.  It is possible that some dietary changes could help.
