Psoriasis - How I Deal With and Manage Autoimmune Disease (Diet, Treatment, Body Confidence)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- I was diagnosed with psoriasis as a child but when I reached adulthood it really started to have a big impact in my life. I eventually started experimenting with different diets and lifestyle factors in an effort to manage my condition. In this video I am talking all about the different things I tried and what has eventually worked and finally the effect longterm topical steroid use had on my skin, including perifacial dermatitis. I hope this helps anyone out there also struggling with an autoimmune disease, chronic illness or a skin condition xx

![Eat to Beat Psoriasis with Dr William Li [FULL EPISODE]](/img/tr.png)
I just want to tell you about my son who suffered from psoriasis too. After a long, long time he finally found out t what was the trigger for him to have the flares of psoriasis. It was the flour/gluten found in almost everything like breads, noodles, pastries, cakes and much more to mention. But when he finally realize that every time he ate anything with wheat flour he will have the psoriasis. He stop eating anything with wealth and start checking labels to see if there was anything of wheat in the ingredients. He change his diet , eating healthy , reducing sugar to almost nothing he is finally free of the psoriasis, already more than 4 years. For him eating cheeses or cream doesn't affect him, but everybody is different, so I just thought to mention this to you and maybe if you cut eating flour (wheat) product yo can have a great relieve of the psoriasis. Best of luck beautiful girl.
Useful information dear. God bless you. Since four and half years iam suffering .Collecting information like this, now I want to change my diet.

What helps in general is reducing stress, getting sunshine, and eating clean. The gut is the main focus, if that is inflamed, psoriasis will show

@@Luke_skywalker789 Does this L-gluamine stuff really work?
Hi! I've had psoriasis for about 12 years now (since 2009) and my psoriasis is covering rougly 30% of my body. I recently discovered that I have "leaky gut syndrome", which seems to be very common for people with certain autoimmune diseases, like psoriasis, but also Crohn's disease and Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Through youtube I found someone that suggested using L-Glutamine to repair "leaky gut", since trying out L-Glutamine my psoriasis has gotten A LOT better, some of my largest areas are almost completely gone and I've noticed several other positive effects of L-Glutamine too, like stress- and anxiety recovery being much faster. In addition to that I've cut out dairy- and gluten products and I have never been more hopeful than I am today! Take care of your gut everyone!
@@babashahbaz6629 yes, it does really works and fasting can be so helpful.
My story is very similar to hers, one thing she didn’t mention is psoriasis flares up during seasonal climate changes, I live in Canada where we get 4 seasons and only 3 months of summer. What has improved my psoriasis is, eliminating gluten, sugar, alcohol, and dairy. Sleeping 7-8 hrs a night. Not staying up too late. Limit the stress in your life and the best thing for psoriasis is sunlight and vitamin D. I take up to 30-40 thousand vitamin D a day in the colder months and I make sure to get sun in the summer. Drink lots of water. Great video! You looks amazing and so healthy.
Hello have anyone heard of Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam channel he cured me permanently from psoriasis with herbal remedy
Honestly shes stunning and gives me hope i can fight and win this psoriasis. I developed it at 29, now 30 with only 3 small patches on my skin. I want to bwat this and i will continue following!
Same here. I'm in Montreal and my psoriasis is so much worse in Winter. In summer, the redness on my lower legs disappeared... and came back in in mid-October. I take a lot of 10,000 Vit D, but it doesn't help. I will try more and see if it helps.
I definitely think stress plays a big part in it .I've had my worst flare ups when I've been stressed.
Psoriasis is associated with certain psychiatric disorders such as stress, anxiety and depression. Although a growing body of literature has indicated high prevalence of anxiety in patients with psoriasis, it is unclear if the incidence of anxiety is correlated with severity of psoriasis. I hope this study can help you fastway4you.com/does-psoriasis-cause-stress/
Two days ago I got diagnosed with psoriasis. My journey is just starting. I appreciate your story, thank you for sharing your tips for battling with this lifelong disease.
Lots of love from Bulgaria.
Go to the sea more, you guys have that small advantage, I live in a landlocked country so can't, swim and sunbathe when you can, it always kept my psoriasis at bay for a few months after a week or two at the sea.

how did yoy take and where do you buy the L-Glutamine? my teenage son has it in his scalp and im trying to avoid the steroid creme on him...
I have too.
.
Thank you I am going to try that L- Glutamine ,and it is true Stress it is really bad and Sugar And dairy products and glutamine
For everyone reading this.
1.L- glutamine is easy to get and harmless. Just look up the nearest health shop in your neighbourhood.
2. The best thing batteling psoriasis is lowering inflimation. This means following a KETO or even better a Carnivore dieet.
3. Sunlight. Really powerfull. It is not what you think. Sunlight creates hormones in your body that helps your body cleanse itself (its not from the outside in😄)
4. You can include a low histamine dieet if you need to. I need to.
5. Stay positive! No really! One of the worst things you can do is get stressed. Stress creates high cortisol levels. This makes it near impossible for your body to lower inflimation. Yes, high stress = high corrisol = inflimation.
6. No coffee and dark chocolate and stuff like that. It creates high levels of cortisol.
7. Let me know how it is going!
This literally brought tears to my eyes, I had the exact same plaque psoriasis as you!
I use enstilar cream all over my body but it doesn't work. I even wear my work clothes to work to so I don't get seen in the changing room.
I have zero energy every day which has stopped me going out, the isolation has left me with no friends. I literally go to work then go home then repeat lol.
You really do feel like this is it, this is the rest of your life. No that I'm glad anyone ease has this but I'm glad I'm not alone knowing how this feels.
I use Enstilar. For me it works sometimes. It depends on the severity of the flare ups and the season.
I also use enstilar which don't work anymore unless I stop for a while and then use it every day. My skin has also generally worsened and spread. I'm starting to be concerned that it might be due to Topical Steroid Addiction, and that I'll have to go through Topical Steroid Withdrawal...
I too had Enstilar but I was only prescribed it after 20 years of hand psoriasis which had been described as dermatitis, then eczema & finally psoriasis. It was only one of a few creams I used, coconut oil, Eurex to stop the itching & various emollients. I added Balmonds salvation cream at night & noticed it wasn’t so open & raw looking & started to get better. No I’m not affiliated with this expensive product but it did help. In the meantime it was if the hand psoriasis knew it’s days were numbered & jumped to my scalp, starting at the nape of the neck & slowly encircling my head. I tried Enstilar & beta cap which reduce the itching but doesn’t get rid of it. I’m just embarking on another round of treatments, self prescribed, of hemp oil (not the cooking type) applied to the scalp & Dr Bonners baby magic soap for washing it off, ( it leaves your hair looking a bit greasy as the hemp oil residue clings to the hair), to try & lessen the aggravation. It’s early days to tell you if it worked or not. I also take supplements of Vitamin D & K & C. Omega 3 & Cod liver oil, magnesium glycerinate, potassium , zinc & B12. All good to take anyway not just because of the psoriasis. It will be interesting to see if it helps the psoriasis.
I have always refused all prescriptions since I know it's actually an internal problem and all these meds seem to be more harm than good. I have noticed many say it does work at first but then nothing after a while. I'm worried about what other harm it could be causing. Basically I do not trust our government, FDA, or my own Dr.
I watch this while my eczema is at the worst in years. Makes me feel less alone. Thanks for posting!
Don't eat cooked food and non veg
Alternate dry fast and low carb, fix my eczema that o had since i'm a baby
Now It will only act up a tiny spot if i eat too much carbs n sugary foods.
I thought i will never get free from it
No drugs, no topical anything. And the body regulate it self. And it's free.
@@new_b.e.a.t.s8308 wrong. People also get amazing results with only eating meat.
@@reuterss306 if you eat meat 🍖.it will make it worse
Proper healing usually comes from within - especially when it comes to auto immune illnesses. Cutting sugar and excessive carbs, milk in all forms and gluten has been a life saver. Fasting on a regular basis took care of a fatty liver and arteries. My pulse is now down to what it was in my 20's and I feel great.
@ขี้เหนียว Yes, that's how it all started. Began to notice a rash of some sort and trying different things, the lack of milk made it disappear. Eating cheese or milk chocolate again and it came back. I guess stress and leaky gut was the trigger.

The only way to cure autoimmune disorders naturally proven by online testimonials (Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Mikhaila Peterson, Dr Eric Berg, KenDBerryMD)
To cure autoimmune disorders you need to eliminate all inflammatory foods from your diet. That includes processed food, gluten (white bread, pasta, white rice, ...), night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, ...)
Most of these foods are carbs so you will either need to choose between a Keto diet or a carnivore diet to prevent inflammation coming from the food you eat.
While being on a Keto or carnivore diet you should combine it with intermittent fasting a 16:8 is recommended, intermittent fasting reduces inflammation in the body, boosts HGH, detoxes and nourishes the body, low insulin levels and you will have it easier to prevent yourself from eating the carbs that cause inflammation in the body.
When your fast is completed you should consume bile salts (TUDCA) or turmeric to modulate the TH-17 in the body (3-4x) . People with autoimmune disorders have a T-Cell dysfunction that causes the autoimmunity and causes more inflammation in the body than usual. After taking TUDCA or turmeric, supplementing with high doses of vitamin D will suppress the TH-17. Articles recommend not to supplement with too high of a dosage but 1000-2000 IU 1-2/ week did not increase vitamin D but only after 4 months it did. When dealing with autoimmunity the body needs doses of even more than 40000 IU to be able to suppress TH-17 in the body. Do not be afraid, you can only have complications in the body if you take more than 200000 IU everyday for months. An omega 3 deficiency can cause dry scaly skin, so supplement those as well or eat fish every day.
TUDCA 2. Vitamin D (40000 IU) 3. Omega 3
People have tried this and after 3 months 80% of their psoriasis faded away. It is the only natural remedy that actually works. Prevent using any other thing to treat this condition, it will only work temporarily and will not cure what’s wrong inside of the body.
So I need to stop drinking?
@@raiderd8189 of course alcohol inflames the body
First time I leave a comment on UA-cam. Thank you. You are an inspiring individual. I have moderate psoriasis (legs and small patches on elbows). I tried many things. UVB works great for me. The effect last at least roughly 9 months but I know that diet is the key. I went on a ayurvedic retreat for 10 days. The improvements were huge, only after 10 days. However, I stopped doing it when I left the retreat as it was too demanding for me at the time. But I very recently discovered Dr Pagano's diet (which is virtually the same as ayurvedic diet) and even if the UVB B works great, I am determined of doing it right and changing radically my diet (no caffeine, no gluten, no dairy, no nightshades, no alcohol, no tobacco, TONS of vegetables, no red meat, loads of waters and herbals teas...). I already have a fairly healthy lifestyle but this is the next level. On top of that, I meditate, which is great to manage stress.
Can you please help me or provide contact for Ayurvedic retreat
This is so incredibly helpful, and it definitely makes me feel less alone in my journey.
@Aghedo osagie how to contact
@Aghedo osagie how long has it been for you sense you’ve had any flare ups? And is it still gone ?
pro trick : watch series on flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Kasen Tony definitely, have been watching on flixzone} for years myself :)
@Kasen Tony definitely, been using flixzone} for since november myself =)
I know this video is about three years old, but it is still very helpful. My daughter is nine, and was diagnosed with moderate to severe psoriasis at the age of seven. She has psoriasis on her hands, head, neck, feet, etc. that affects her on a daily basis. It’s most Sever on her hands and feet, which is difficult for her because she is a gymnast. I have been at a loss. This video brings me a bit of hope, so we will try out some of the things that you incorporated into your life to help with your psoriasis. I have always known diet and stress were key factors in controlling this disease. I hope my daughter will follow your wisdom. Thank you! I wish you much luck in you continuing journey.
Late 2021, I had my psoriasis covering up almost entire of my body. Magically, in January after I went traveling to Bali and to the beaches there, I came back with white patches and my psoriasis was gradually improved.
do you think it was the salty ocean water?
@@jonah2047or the sun? Or both?
I’m currently battling psoriasis, it’s everywhere, specifically on my head, I’ve been in more stress lately and I’ve noticed that when I’m active and moving around more in the sun that its flares down. Also now that I know sugar and dairy is a factor I will be trying to manage how much I eat of the two. During the past 14 days I’ve been in quarantine eating loads of sugary foods and chocolate and eating sugary cereal and milk, not moving at all or working out. I’m for sure now going to try and eat more vegetables and eat healthier now.. And yes for me managing stress is the #1 factor to how clear my skin and scalp is. Thank for for sharing your story with us .
Hello sis use Dr Omo herbal medicine/ Cream it will help you get rid of them fast without any side effects
@@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat it’s crazy because I made this comment 4 months ago and my skin has clears up sense I’ve been taking care of my health and well being… now just these last few days sugar has crept back into my life in quantity… I’ve been eating a lot of sugary, salty and fatty foods… and low and behold the psoriasis flared up again 🤦🏻 and I couldn’t figure out why…
this video and your comment reminded why. And thanks for the tip, I will be trying that out 👍🏻
I also have it on the scalp, it's disturbing , can we walk this journey together? It has happened for 7 yes now
Thank you soo much and This is so unimaginably the same process i went through. Only thing to mention might be that i dont drink. I stopped meds much earlier as soon as i came to know that psoriasis cant effect anything inside my body until its severe and i can control it. I cant stop being stressed,i can only manage it. Now psoriasis is my indicator, i smile at it and thank god for this too(yes i really do). It flares to let me know i am doing something wrong. It flare to let me know that i should be calm. It flares to let me know i am eating too much sugar and it even flares to let me know if weather is going to change in coming days (get cold or rain alot or if there is a cyclone breeze).Now i have my own list of foods to avoid (yes that includes dairy ) to control it.
Thank you so much for having the courage to share this video and your journey with psoriasis, I started getting psoriasis at the back of my neck and it killed my confidence. I became so insecure I avoided certain activities, bought hoodies and polos only to cover it up. Cutting out Diary and gluten is the main thing for me. And then Carbs specifically grains. Just veg and chicken did the works. Now im just battling the discipline of sticking to it. As alot of you know when its someones birthday and they have cake or work drinks or chocolates and then also the struggles of going out your way to adhere to your diet. I wish anyone who is dealing with psoriasis the best of results.
No Fruit?
Moral of the story: Managing stress is the best way to deal with psoriasis.
Good lord do I credit you for being in school 36+ hours and working two jobs! That sounds EXHAUSTING!!! Good on you, girl and congrats on getting through it! Thank you for this helpful video. I find that food is everything when it comes to my health.
True
Lucy, this video was absolutely amazing. One of the best contents on psoriasis that I've ever seen. It's often super frustrating to experience the issues that you've covered here, especially, I guess, a kind of negligence of doctors, meaning that we really need to be ahead of the whole treatment process. So sharing your trajectory is super valuable for people who also struggle to identify some commonalities (that often, as you said, we feel we experience alone) and improve the treatment strategt with a more comprehensive assessment on risks and potential benefits. Plus, your energy is super inspiring. Thanks for the video ;)
I agree. It's important to see stories like this. The research shows there are 8 triggers for psoriasis: alcohol, smoking, inflammatory diet, stress, fatty liver disease and excess weight and viral activity. I spent 11 years trying to figure out how to clear/cure/get rid of my psoriasis. Not knowing what the research says on how to effectively treat psoriasis naturally. So I made a video called "How to treat psoriasis according to science - How I cleared my psoriasis". You can click on "align and inspire" (my channel name) to see it. I have been clear (no symptoms) for 4 years now. Love to my psoriasis family.

Thanks for sharing your story. Mine is very similar. Diagnosed 10 years ago and also experimented with various things. I made the steroid cream connection a few years ago when I noticed the worst flare ups would come after periods of not using steroid cream and then using it again. At one point my experimenting with diet was so extreme I had cut out all forms of gluten, sugar (including sugars from fruit) and dairy - all at the same time. Looking back on it, it was actually irresponsible because I wasn’t making sure to get enough calories and I lost so much weight that people thought I was dying. Through all my experimentation the one thing I never gave up was caffeine, mainly because I couldn’t imagine not having it in my life. When all else seemed to fail I made the choice (reluctantly) to replace coffee with green tea and that’s when the psoriasis went into remission. After 10 years of daily flare ups, it completely went away and I haven’t had a single spot on my body since. It’s been a few years. I still wake up every morning and look my body over in the mirror, fearing it will be back. I think you’re completely right about staying hydrated and controlling stress. I still really miss coffee.
The flare ups after using the steroid creams could have been TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawl). It causes crazy bad inflammation when you stop using them, because your skin gets used to the drug being there, and it compensates for it. It's also why you need to keep using more and more to keep it's effectiveness. I was on Tacrolimus ointment for years, and I noticed it stopped being as effective, so I decided to stop. My skin turned into zombie skin in the places where I was putting the tacrolimus. It was swollen, red, pussy, scabby, and bumpy, It was like an open wound, and left permanent damage. I thought I had some other disease, I didn't really know what was going on. I'll never use those medications again.
This happened to me too it. I had puss coming out of mine I stopped using steroid cream. I use alcohol fragrant free cream to keep it moist and eat a clean diet. I stopped sugar and any forms of it. I eat at home only. Lots of meditation and yoga. Constantly have to watch what I eat lower my bodies toxification. Thanks this video is amazing.
😢am encouraged, thanks@@suevan8110
Hey your psoriasis is ok now
@@saahvi_bhardwaj90hlo
This is so helpful! Thank you for sharing your journey. My husband has severe psoriasis and we’ve been down the route of one steroid cream after the next, injections, immunosuppressant tablets...etc and it’s just been getting worse. I am actually a med student but I also firmly believe in holistic medicine so we will start changing his diet from tomorrow. I’m so frustrated with how dismissive the older generation of doctors can be and how the mainstream treatment of psoriasis is skin based even though it is an autoimmune disorder. Hopefully by taking the holistic route, we can improve my husbands condition.
Me too suffering..let's try 👍
Diet is the biggest way to fight it. Your husband should cut out fizzy drinks, dairy, red meat, nightshade vegetables, offal, raw fish, sugar, processed food. Minimise alcohol intake and totally avoid smoking. Drink lots of water. Eat fish, green vegetables and carrots, chicken, rice. Exercise and regular sleep help too. And minimise stress where realistically possible.
Doctors only care about masking the symptoms via drugs. They don’t give a crap about fixing your actual problem, especially if its through holistic methods. My dermatoligst misdiagnosed my acne rosacea as acne, gave me antibiotics, and now my gut is fucking ruined and i get red flushes and oily skin so easily.
Thank you so much for your scientific self reflection, evidence based lived examples. You are amazing and I pray an MP out there woukd look into health services and argue (lay the evidence) of comparing everyone's wellbeing of cure vs treatment. I remember speaking to a junior dermatologist 10 years ago. She said she would never offer a diet/holistic option as a means of treatment because well it impacted her job with less patients. In the West dermatologists start avereage £50k a yeat. They won't cure you sorry that's the truth, cos money is the real goal. Blessings upon you and to our psoriasis family.
@@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat please share the method you have adopted
My story is very similar to yours. I am now 4 years steroid free. I am currently flaring bad, triggered from stress and slip in diet. It’s hard, but you’re story has helped elevate my mood somewhat.
I still get flare ups too every now and again usually triggered by exactly the same things. I know how hard it is but it will always get better eventually!! 🤞🏻 fingers crossed it’s a short flare up for you and you feel better soon! ❤️
@@lucylismoreany good creams for this
I've been dealing with psoriasis since I was 3 and now I am 15...I've been taking treatment for almost 11 years...this video is so helpful for me...
I am so happy it helped thank you x
So I also deal with psoriasis and stress is definitely a main factor for me as well. I found out about adaptogens and how ashwaganda has been proven to lower cortisol levels in the body by 30% which is the stress hormone. Ive also been stacking it with black seed oil which is an anti inflammatory, Reishi supplements which helps with longevity and immune system control, and this has worked wonders for me. I've also noticed that taking vitamins and making sure I'm hydrated has helped tremendously. Thank you for your video! You are so intelligent and honest. This means alot.
It’s an awful disorder, and not very well understood! Bless your heart ❤️ My son has suffered with it since he was 7, and has affected him emotionally in a very heartbreaking way! So glad you did this video just so people with psoriasis don’t feel so alone! ❤️
I have been experiencing my first psoriasis flare up since last October. I tried a few creams, changing diet, getting more sun, and it was still taking months to see a slight change. Then, about a month ago, a friend sprayed some perfume next to me and it caused the flare up to worsen. It covers my hands, arms, torso, legs, and forehead. It has been incredibly difficult to stay positive and not let it absolutely ruin any fiber of confidence that I have left. I appreciate your video and it's given me a lot to think about. It's a psychological battle as much as a physical one, and the psoriasis community has been so supportive. There's power in that.
I’ve listened to this video atleast 3 times because it’s so relatable! 😭 thank you so much for sharing, managing any kind of inflammation is so draining but it really does shape us as a person
I developed psoriasis at the age of seven: I am now seventy three. When at university in my twenties I was given methotrexate injections which made me feel ill but checked the spread. Gradually my skin improved but not completely. I have only sparingly used steroid cream which brought relief to the worst patches. As I have aged the psoriasis has faded & now that I am retired & less stressed I am almost clear. I keep fit & maintain a healthy diet of fresh food - no processed rubbish. Sunlight certainly helps too together with yoga which boosts my mood.
Thank you for a very informative video; well done with self research.
I have delved so deep into nutrition and mineral balancing to help find answers for myself and my family members that all suffer from some form of autoimmune. It's so interesting to hear your story and what crazy things the medical industry recommends us to use without thought of consequences.
It has become apparent to me that minerals are the building blocks of our bodies and without them, healing is nearly impossible. I am currently undergoing a re-mineralizing program that is proving to be critical for the remission of my own psoriasis. I just want to say don't stop researching, don't think your body can't heal itself. It just takes time and the will to look beyond the lies we are told. If you want any more info on this or further direction on where to look just let me know!
I’m curious about reminerlaization - did it work for you? Any Info you can point me to? Thanks!
I have a feeling that not only does a damaged gut microbiome plays a role in skin / auto immune diseases but also candida overgrowth AND leaky gut.
I was a cross country truck driver (USA) for 3 years and I would eat the trashiest of foods. Basically truck stop foods, no exercise, I'd just sit for hours upon hours, and lack of hygiene. Sometimes, i'd go almost a week without showering and sleep in my own sweat. God.. just typing this makes me cringe so hard at my stupidity.
Also, around this time my parents were in a lengthy divorce process which I was in the middle of. I was very stressed, filled with anxiety, and fear.
Prior to becoming a truck driver, I spent a year away from home for college. I didn't know how to cook so my breakfast, lunch, and dinner was literally bag loads of junk food and soda. I feel like this is what really sparked the whole thing and the trucking made it 10x worse. I had absolutely zero skin problems before all this.
One of the symptoms (of many others) i've suffered from were multiple fungal infections all over my body. I've learned to kill individual fungal infections throughout these years by vigorously rubbing them with apple cider vinegar and/or peroxide.. which worked but it was a time consuming and painful process, but i got to understand the process very well and knew what to expect.
However, around the end of my trucking years, I noticed a thick plaque on the inside of my left elbow crease. I thought it was another fungal infection and tried treating it with what i'd normally use. But that thing wouldn't budge no matter how vigorous I rubbed it. Wouldn't respond .. in fact, it became aggravated from all the rubbing.
After I quit trucking, I spent hours glued to my laptop researching what it was and how to treat it naturally. Eventually I got rid of all the other fungal infections except that plaque thingy.
I would visually cross examine similar skin conditions by comparing them on Google images.
For a while, I thought it was an eczema patch but it looked more like an actual psoriasis plaque. I know I'm not supposed to self diagnose but .. I just like doing things on my own.
Anyway, it would aggravate whenever I would sweat.
I remember going hiking with a friend on a hot day and that thing got so red, itchy, and irritated ... it was awful!. I did not enjoy my hike :(
I've also noticed that it would aggravate when I ate high sugar foods AND caffeine.
During my research, I came to the personal conclusion that it was related to candida overgrowth, a damaged gut lining, and a disrupted gut microbiome al as a result from my terrible decisions.
I've went to extreme lengths to remedy this naturally.
I fasted for a week, drank a ton of organic apple cider vinegar, anti-candida supplements, and followed with a strict anti-candida diet for almost a year.
Wasn't around like the 2nd month of following this protocol that i've noticed improvements on this plaque.
But I what I really felt that helped was reducing stress. I quit working for 6 months. Drinking tons of apple cider vinegar in the morning and night. High doses of vitamin D3. High doses of wild oil of oregano, L Glutamine, bone broth soup, cutting out all sugar, processed foods and refined carbs.
I've also switched my shower soap to a natural soap bar made with kaolin clay, Dead Sea Salt Minerals and Mud. Surprisingly, even though Vaseline is frowned upon in the natural community, I felt like it helped immensely .. even for my skin that wasn't affected.
Results:
The plaque thing is completely gone.
Few things to note: It did return in a couple occasions when stress was elevated, I abandoned all healthy eating habits and supplements, and went on a junk food spree.
Happened like 3 or 4x. But when it did, I went back to the protocol and within 2-3 weeks, plaque was gone again, which just confirms for me there is a not only a gut microbiome dysbiosis issue but also a candida and leaky gut component to it as well.
Did you still eat healthy carbohydrates like vegetables and fruits?
@@MRPUNKLIPS At the strictest time which was probably one or two months, no. But after that i started adding some organic blueberries once in a while. And those were the only carbs I’d eat for the next 8 months.
Hello . I wanna know What kind of shampoo should I use in plaque psoriasis?
@@ascapingreality8606 Hmm .. not sure. Maybe a natural pine tar soap bar might help with psoriasis a bit. But i read that the root cause of psoriasis may have something to do with vitamin D deficiency.
Nice
Organic fruit and veggies. Good sleep, sunlight, low stress, exercise, grounding. Avoid household chemicals. Natural soaps and cleaners. No smoking, alcohol or drugs. Alkaline the body (yes it’s a real thing). Do this for 3-6 months depending on your condition. You will heal your skin, body and your mind. Peace & Love.
I've had psoriasis all of my life. I learned early on that Vaseline eased the cracking and kept the piling up of the skin under control, not getting rid of it, but helps with relief- so I've always used Vaseline. I use it to remove my makeup too and don't put a lot of chemicals on my skin. I'm newly trying to change my diet and figure out if I can get it to go away because I've never NOT had patches on my skin. I've always covered up and just thought this was life. Videos like this make me hopeful. I'm already a vegan (for spiritual reasons) but I'm gonna cut out gluten and sugar now an start experimenting. Thank you! ❤
It was great to hear your story! I leant to live with psoriasis almost the same way as you :
1) cutting dairy helped so much with reducing the inflammation, when I cut it my psoriasis stopped being bright red
2) reducing stress (I know, easier said than done...)
3) going to a hammam as often as possible, the hot moist atmosphere is so soothing and relieves my skin
4) Stop using store bought moisturizing cream, it always made it worse in the long run
What u used instead of moisture?
@@barbiegene6897 nothing. I don't use soap on that area so it is not too dry, and I'm lucky that the natural moisture of my skin is enough to keep it under control.
@@barbiegene6897 medicated oil man use oil and take bath in hot water daily
Not going to lie
I’ve watched up to 20 videos on psoriasis but thissss one here is the one
Don’t skip just watch, I promise you won’t regret.
Watching this video instantly made me feel more relieved emotionally and psychologically
You look great I'm so happy for you that your psoriasis cleared up!
It's interesting how people try so hard to alter their gut biome, and then research finds out that people's emotions are linked to their gut bio and you said that your number one psoriasis trigger was your emotional state.
I noticed recently that when I went on vacations to the Caribbean my psoriasis cleared up a whole lot, I attributed it to the sun and the sea water I was swimming in. But maybe it was just the improvement in my emotional state.
Since psoriasis is an immune derailment issue the key to manage it is to eliminate triggers and then taking immune modulating or regulating supplements or activity.
Triggers to avoid:
Stress
Sugar
Peamuts
Gluten
Milk
Late meals
Black mold
Cold and damp environments
Immune modulating/regulation:
Vitamin D (10,000 iu and above)
Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
Red meat (particularly organ meats)
Vitamin B12
Vitamin C
I hope this helps
Thank you. Was diagnosed with psoriasis when I had a flare up at 13 years old. It’s been a lifetime of dealing with a disease that really does make you feel isolated and hopeless. The taboo tanning beds kept it at bay for decades. Over the last 10 years there have been no tanning beds and it sadly worsened but had to accept the trade off to be healthy. I am only now learning how eliminating certain foods may help and so surprised that not one dermatologist through the years ever mentioned this.
Tanning beds are good for your skin which is why they tell you not to use them. Same as everything
Love you with heaps of empathy and sympathy for you past and am grateful for your integral discernment which you cultivated through your entire journey!, so just keep listening to yourself and thank you for sharing your vulnerability 🙏🏻❤️
It makes me feel happy and sad at the same time that someone else understands what I've been through too. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I've found a lot of these things flare mine up too. Diet DEFINITELY has helped break outs.
Bro am also dealing with this same problem literally depressed
I am also suffering from Psoriasis . She has explained her experience very well
So recognizable. Years ago I threw away the hospital’s hormone cream -Dovobet- because it didn’t help and I wasn’t allowed to use it on my face anyway. I started making my own soaps -I will never use shampoo/conditioner anymore- and my own creams, so at least I’d know what was in it. And I made it from homegrown/picked herbs. One of them being cannabis and that does help me. Thank you for this video! 💕
Hi Lucy, thanks for sharing this video on psoriasis; I had seen a video of a chap who had psoriasis on his back and he mentioned two things that made him clear of it in 3 months. At that time I had been using steroid creams for the past 3 years on my psoriasis. My psoriasis was on my hands and on my face. This chap mentioned two things (1) Probiotics (2) vegetable diet but mainly greens. I tried this myself; stopped all the creams and steroids and started eating boiled lettuce, peas and long beans with my meals at least 6 times a week. I cut down on red meat, and had chicken or fish and tuna. I used the simple probiotics as in "Actimel" and had that three times a week and all my psoriasis cleared.... but completely cleared. One thing that also effected my psoriasis is work stress. I tried to minimize on this too and in less than 3 months all my psoriasis cleared. So (1) stress - control it as much as possible (2) probiotics but not much (3) vegetable diet mainly greens. Hence confirming your conclusions to the letter. Thanks again for sharing.
This is so relatable. I made below changes and my psoriasis improved 90%. The other 10% happens only bcz of external factors like outdoor environment or when i'm out in remote areas and unable to follow below points.
- Quite dairy. It's for baby cow and not for humans. That's the milk cow produce for its baby and we as humans don't need that cow hormonal milk. Quiting it will also improve pcos. I know since I had that too. Choose coconut milk and plant based products. There are so many gud dairy substitutes out there keep trying out and you will eventually find the ones that satisfies your palette too.
- yes steroids are not solution and will eventually make sitiation worse. I'm on no steroids at all with these lifestyle changes.
- you need to keep your gut healthy. So no caffeine. It disturbs the gut's natural function. Eating meals on time ks crucial. Also, you may feel like your gut is healthy but sister it's not. Make these changes and you will realise that earlier you never noticed it bcz you were "used" to an unhealthy gut.
- Mindful Meditation to reduce stress as it plays a role in flaring up psoriasis. It's impossible to avoid stressful situations obviously. Life is not perfect. But 10-20 min of early morning mindful meditation can help u keep urslf calm throughout the day.
- Excercise after meditation. It helps bring hormonal balance. And don't forget to take shower immediately afterwards. I noticed sweating makes my psoriasis worse.
- Quit using nailpolish. Yep i was surprised that it made my psoriasis worse.
- Try wear clothes which is made of cotton and are breathable.
I understand these changes are challenging. But it will be a challenge for a year or two and then lifetime of happiness. ❤️
Thank you so much. I’ve had psoriasis for 18 years now and I do feel like giving up a lot. I’m going to try some of the diet changes you discussed. The hardest part I think is what you talked about at the end. There is no cure, and you’re constantly battling your own body. It’s exhausting and can be depressing. Thanks for the encouragement!! 🥰
Never give up. I remember being a kid and hating myself when looking in the mirror. Psoriasis is a hard thing to grow up with.
I also hatedy self to death, but diet has helped a lot, I nolonger use medicines, no, watch your diet, all will be well
Cold showers should help also. Start with warm as normal then hit the cold for as long as you can to finish.
Anxiety ALWAYS makes me flare up. And I dont drink caffeine at all.
Thank you so much for this! I noticed these patches on my stomach about a year ago, they’re getting much worse, and now I am just now finding out it’s clearly psoriasis! Great tips for me in here as I start managing it. Thank you!
Is it gone now
This is the best video ever on psoriasis I have ever seen. I have it now for 6 years. Felt so good.
Thanks alot for sharing. I'm on the same boat as you. I have spent the last year investigating my triggers and now I know what hurts my skin. Everything you said is absolutely true.
When u said u loose control of your body I felt it, I suffered from scleroderma for more than 12 years now, and even when I follow doc instructions, eat well, sleep well, train etc I still had episodes .I learned how to accept it ,because the more I fight it and feel bad about it the more damage I caused my body.autoimmune disease is really a complicated one, I even struggled with mental health due to my ss.thank you so much for your video, it really really helped and I’m sure it will help others too to understand this complicated illness. Thx a million
What a struggle - you are so strong 💪
My doctor gave me steroid creme once and i developped perioral dermatitis. First i thought it was just acne but luckily my doctor knew right away. it is so annoying. İn periods it comes back when i am stressed or if i use something that trickers it - and a lot of things trigger it 😭😭 but not as bad as having psoriasis - i have always felt so bad for people living with psoriasis. İt looks like it hurts so much and is dificult to control 😔
Big hugs for you ❤️ and thank you for sharing this with us ❤️
Thanks a lot, Lucy, just changed my mind of fighting this. Just found out some months ago about psoriasis , I was fighting a lot with the idea, but after seeing this video, I chose to fight in a different way, to embrace it... Thamks, again, you' ve changed my POV.. Hope now everything is ok on your side.
My psoriasis has nearly cleared for the first time in over thirty years. Significant changes potentially leading to this: keto/low-carb diet & intermittent fasting, replacing soda with flavored carbonated water, replacing beer with gin/vodka & carbonated water, supplementing with vitamins A, D3, K2, cod liver oil. I also eat a lot of eggs, salmon & kippers. I also take B complex (B-50) and nutritional yeast. These changes helped me lose 25lbs in about 3 months, lowering my BMI to just over 25 -- I am now just 4 lbs overweight. By continuing to avoid refined sugar, I've had no trouble keeping that weight off for about five months now.
While I'm confident that many/all of the above changes led to health improvements, my hunch is that improving vitamin D status helped most with my psoriasis, by bolstering my immune system and reducing inflammation. There are likely related facets, such as insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver & leaky gut, all of which improved considerably after I abandoned the Standard American Diet and begun shunning highly-processed foods in favor of whole, organic & non-GMO foods.
I used some herbs from Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam channel and it works perfectly am free from psoriasis
Hi Eric congrats , have psoriasis from last 18 years with fatty liver , leaky gut and prediabetic, more or less similar to your previous condition. Can you plz elaborate on your diet and routine including supplements. Thx
this helps me a lot with my psoriasis. me too i dont trust doctor anymore to put steroids on my face. not many of them understand this. thanks for share it. Good luck with all of u out there.
I used some herbs from Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam channel and it works perfectly am free from psoriasis
So sad we can't trust our doctors these days it's like the news they're like the news I mean we have to listen to people who've really had it these blogs and comments really help get real information!
Hello Lucy. Thank you so much for sharing your story. My husband suffered from psoriasis and this past months it's gotten worse he went on an anti inflammatory everything for a week with helped him out but years of eating the way we have it's hard to change but we definitely saw improvement that week. Thank you for sharing your journey and experiences 🙏❤ stay strong and happy😊
Hello sis use Dr Omo herbal medicine/ Cream it will help you get rid of them fast without any side effects
@@maryanne8407 hi where can I get Dr Omo medication please
How is it now
This video is so great. Amazing to know other people have the same experience and thoughts related to their psoriasis. Stress and Dairy are my biggest triggers too. I believe my psoriasis was initially triggered from a major family stressor. I developed it a week after that event. But I realized just how much stress effects it when I moved from my home town to a new town and province. I’d been having big personal struggles with my family. And I grew up thinking that it was my job to keep everyone around me safe and happy no matter what. So once I got distance from the pressures on me(family and other things I won’t get into) my psoriasis went from the worst it had ever been to an amount I could live with without too much discomfort. I have it on my scalp and one ear canal. Unfortunately I have a bad habit of picking so I make it worse from picking.I also decided to try a vegan diet after I moved and was biking and rock climbing in the sun a lot that year. Within 5 months my psoriasis was completely cleared up.
I’ve since started eating dairy and meat again and just living with the consequence.
I don’t use any medication anymore. Was given steroid creams when diagnosed and also noticed flare ups any time I stopped using it. Later learned that your body can have withdrawal after stopping steroid meds. My biggest reason for stopping meds though is because steroid medications make me menstruate the entire time the med is in my body. Clued into this after noticing a pattern of prolonged periods anytime I’d taken steroid meds. Twice I had to use eye drops for 30 days and bled the whole time 😒 it’s apparently vary rare but can be a side effect for some people that have periods. And since steroids are the go to treatment for most doctors iv just given up.
I am not able to find out my trigger for flare up... Can you please guide me
Thank you so much for this upload. This gives me encouragement. I believe I have developed psoriasis from using topical steroids and I’m flaring and stressing a little about what my life will be like loving forward with a healthier diet. But overall I am optimistic. This video definitely helped me so much. Thank you
@Pass the Peas I'm sorry you are going through this rough time with your skin. I can empathize with your situation-my psoriasis has flared up badly after completing a round of topical steroids and I am devastated. Going to have to look at what I can do internally to heal this. Praying you find success on your journey.
I had lymphoma mycosis fungoides for 16 yrs and tried everything you mentioned plus chemo and radiation and recently I tried carnivore diet and it miraculously went away in 2 weeks!! Be happy to share and have a conversation if you’re still having any flare up
Hi there. Can you say more about it ? What did you eat and how it looks now and if you're still following the diet ?
4:18 you're commitment to learning is impressive!
So less stress, more nature, no sugar or dairy. Wow. Thank you so so much!!! Lu x
I drink decaf coffee atm... switched recently... are you gluten free? I sometimes have a half ale... eek!
Thank you for making this video. Appreciate you! As someone who’s suffered with chronic pain for years and bad skin rashes I can fully empathize with everything you’re saying. I’ve always said my body hates me and felt alone & defeated, but your video has given me hope. I won’t give up till I’m in remission and can fight this thing!!! I was sad, but now I’m mad and refuse to let my autoimmune disease win! 🤬☺️❤️
It's about quality of life, Psoriasis is miserable. If biologics make every day life tolerable, even with the side effects/concerns which aren't guaranteed, it's worth the risk - but as with all things, personal decision. If Otezla stops working for me, biologics are my next step. I've tried diets and every cream on the planet. Eradicating stress is a given and well known for years, but obviously not always avoidable. Regardless, great to hear you're doing much better.
Omg... Thanks to you I started with calisthenics and now this video comes out ! I've been dealing with psoriasis for 7 years now, so I'm really grateful for this. 💙
Yes! Stress is such huge trigger for me and others for sure! Years of figuring out those triggers for my psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis but has been worth it. I am now 95% symptom free without meds. Its been a journey but worth it!
I am Atopic, I have Rhinitis and Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema) so I completely understand what having a chronic skin condition feels like. Different seasons and also been in different country's makes me have to change my routine completely to manage my Eczema :( . I try to concentrate on been calm most of the time and try to avoid the things that make my skin worst, but it's not easy to live with this. I love you're channel so much and wanted to said thank you for how much you have help me with my fitness journey :) . You are amazing!!
Great video !!!! I started following you for your exercise videos.....then found out you also are dealing with psoriasis. Wow. My wife has psoriasis and now psoriatic arthritis. You mentioned your history with the disease and what you have tried and things that worked and things that didn't is especially helpful. My wife currently is on a biological injection (Taltz) once a month It is extremely expensive (like all biologic meds), and most insurances don't want to cover it. But anyway, keep up the great work. You are an inspiration !!!
So glad you made this video. I'm so tired of creams and Uv. Now my dermatologist is suggesting injections.
you dont need nothing else than a good nutrition, check out "healing psoriasis" by Dr.John's. The cookbook will change your life :)
thank you for putting into words your personal journey with psoriasis. I also have psoriasis and I felt identified with several emotions that you describe, thank you for taking the time, you did it wonderfully. hope everyone finds a way to be calm and in love, we accompany each other in this complex world :)
Such a great video, so relatable. The only thing I put on my skin that worked, was turmeric and olive oli mixed together and lathered on. It makes the area yellow, but its honestly so soothing xx
How long do u leave the tumeric and olive oil on for
@@elisamarro7356 over night with a plaster over the top, or at least a couple hours
Turmeric is just a healer 🙏🏽
You are really inspiring and motivating to not lose hope. I've been suffering from psoriasis from past 9 years and it had really took a toll on my mental health. I've recently stopped taking dairy and gluten, started doing yoga and pranayam. Let's hope that i get good results. Thank you for sharing your psoriasis journey with us.❤
Hi Lucy, sorry to hear of your struggles with psoriasis. I too have it, it’s been a lot better since I retired and have less stress. I also found Exorex ointment a life saver. I know what works for one person may not work for another, so it’s a case of trying everything. Good luck.
you are doing all of us who suffer from this. you are beautiful, brave and a warrior for sharing your story and information. i suffer from this and have been for about 15 years but still trying to live a complete life which starts from the diet. I appreciate you.
Your journey mirrors my husband's journey with psoriasis! Keeping stress low, whole food plant based + no refined sugars has been the way for him to have minimal flare ups! The steroid creams would not resolve bad patches for him either. Glad to know you're better!!!!!
Edit- So glad you are doing your best as your own advocate for health!!!
I fight with my parents all the time about this always telling me to go to the doctors etc and use this cream and that I tell them it doesn’t work best thing I can do is eat clean and hit the gym
The only way to cure autoimmune disorders naturally proven by online testimonials (Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Mikhaila Peterson, Dr Eric Berg, KenDBerryMD)
To cure autoimmune disorders you need to eliminate all inflammatory foods from your diet. That includes processed food, gluten (white bread, pasta, white rice, ...), night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, ...)
Most of these foods are carbs so you will either need to choose between a Keto diet or a carnivore diet to prevent inflammation coming from the food you eat.
While being on a Keto or carnivore diet you should combine it with intermittent fasting a 16:8 is recommended, intermittent fasting reduces inflammation in the body, boosts HGH, detoxes and nourishes the body, low insulin levels and you will have it easier to prevent yourself from eating the carbs that cause inflammation in the body.
When your fast is completed you should consume bile salts (TUDCA) or turmeric to modulate the TH-17 in the body (3-4x) . People with autoimmune disorders have a T-Cell dysfunction that causes the autoimmunity and causes more inflammation in the body than usual. After taking TUDCA or turmeric, supplementing with high doses of vitamin D will suppress the TH-17. Articles recommend not to supplement with too high of a dosage but 1000-2000 IU 1-2/ week did not increase vitamin D but only after 4 months it did. When dealing with autoimmunity the body needs doses of even more than 40000 IU to be able to suppress TH-17 in the body. Do not be afraid, you can only have complications in the body if you take more than 200000 IU everyday for months. An omega 3 deficiency can cause dry scaly skin, so supplement those as well or eat fish every day.
TUDCA 2. Vitamin D (40000 IU) 3. Omega 3
People have tried this and after 3 months 80% of their psoriasis faded away. It is the only natural remedy that actually works. Prevent using any other thing to treat this condition, it will only work temporarily and will not cure what’s wrong inside of the body.
I have psoriasis for 30+ years, 80% psoriasis , was treated with steroid cream and later skin dr. subscribe steroid oral pills for 4 years, it has gone so bad...my auto immune system gone upside down. Started to change my lifestyle, diet, in low sugar, less raice intake, and salt. in my age 40s onwards, my skin improving till today. exercise and do more outdoor exercise. Be happy, positive mindset, things started to change. I am now in my early 50s, back to live like a normal person.
Thank you! My psoriasis is so bad on my stomache and legs that’s I can’t ever wear a bathing suit or wear shorts it’s embarrassing. Def going to try this.
Girl I have on my whole body even on face since last 6 years
Wish you fast recovery dear
Your not alone
I'm so thankful I found your video. I have been struggling for almost 8months with my skin and i felt like there was no coming back for me! Thank you thank you. You've given me hope. Bless😊
Heyy Lucy! I also have had psoriasis from a really young age, and right now it is mostly on my scalp. (when you mentioned the part when it gets to the ears I almost cried bc I remember how much it hurt) I came across a video for a hemp oil routine about a year ago. I have been doing the routine for a few months now, and I think my scalp hasn't been this clear for a decade now. so grateful.
Anyway, thank you for sharing your journey. I will try cutting off dairy for a while and see if the little patches go away.
Would you mind sharing the name of that hemp oil routine video?

Thank you!
Thank thank you so much for sharing your story. I took struggle with psoriasis. I have been through the same ups and down as you. I have not found anything that completely has taken it away but by experimenting I have been able to control it a little. Thank you again, this video brought so much comfort to me. It reminded me I am not alone!
Recap: try not to stress. keep active and make the conscious decision of being happy.
My mom has had psoriasis since she was a kid, so for 35+ years. She has been on these creams and the uv light treatments for years with minimal success. I am know looking for alternate solutions for her mainly in the food department. I hope that with a better diet, stress management and my full support I can help relief her symptoms! Thank you so much for sharing your story!
I find it frustrating that some doctors only treat the symptoms but do not help you get to the root cause e.g. what we ingest into the body through food, absorbed via the skin, or inhaled.
Yes, our state of mind affects our body too. Mind-gut connection.
Don't know if anyone will even read this, I would like to thank you for telling us not to put steroid cream on the face dermatitis. Like you, I knew it wasn't psoriasis. I thought it could be dermatitis. I didn't think that you couldn't put steroid cream on it. Armed with new information I hope to have it cleared up soon.
Thank you ❤
So helpful. My worst is in my knees and elbows.
Congrats for finding out your triggers and thank you for sharing. Something you mentioned really resonated with me - it got worse when you moved to Australia. I experienced the same, having moved from a tropical Asian country. Was only ever limited to my scalp, but it's spread to all parts of my body since moving to Sydney. Whether it's the Western diet, water, drier air, work stress or all of it etc. I don't know yet, but every time I go back to my home country it gradually clears up. Wishing you the best and continue to stay clear!
Hmm doctors, becoming as reliable as lawyers. Think we all have to take out health into our own hands. Thank you for this video and good luck to you. 😊
Thank you very much for your video. My psoriasis has hurt me so much from the outside as well as the inside. I think if you are not affected by psoriasis yourself you cannot understand how much this disease can affect your life. I am still struggling with it. So thank you for sharing your psoriasis story. It makes me feel not so alone anymore. ❤️❤️❤️
I have an inflammatory condition that causes scar tissue to build up in my airway. I’ve been dealing with it for over a decade. Your video reminded me of a better time where I feel like it was under control. I was plant based at that time. I’m slowly trying to go back to plant based, but it’s been incredibly difficult. Maybe there is a happy medium somewhere in between. I emphasize with the frustration with doctors not being helpful. Yes, I need to lose weight. Repeatedly telling me that without giving me any support does nothing. Lucy, are you going to be coming out with an eating guide or a meal planning guide? I would love to see quick, simple, healthy meals from you. Good luck and good health! 😀❤️
check out "healing psoriasis" by Dr.John's, the cookbook will give you acces to over to over 300 recipes espacially for people with psoriasis.
I’m not Lucy, but I have struggled with psoriasis and the inability to go plant based much like you. I have cooked in vegetarian restaurants but had difficulty making the leap to vegan. Last year I made the commitment to give up eggs and dairy. Have since found wonderful recipes on Rainbow Plant Life and Cheap Lazy Vegan. Be aware that their focus is vegan, not strictly PBWF, but still an inspiring jumping off point. I’m still not perfectly vegan but I’m comfortable with where I’m at (I have a weakness for a commercial Caesar salad dressing). I’m guess I’m trying to say do your best but forgive yourself. I definitely am having my ups and downs. Overall, the process has caused me to lose weight but I still have a ways to go. However, the journey is the point, and because you’re trying to be a better you then, by definition, you are a better you. I wish you great luck (can’t have too much of that), and the knowledge that you’re already and inspiration to others.
Your testimony about psoriasis is extremely valuable. I have many symptoms similar to yours. I Have itchy ears and rashes all over my body as well. Thanks so much !
Already been a long time follower and I didn’t even realize we had this in common!!!! 💕
you honestly look so beautiful even with it!! And I think the most important thing is you're successful in what your doing and you're helping and inspring others. I hope you get cured one day and everybody who's suffering from any diseases.
I suffered with severe psriosis from when I was 15 . My trigger was my grandad passing away . My whole body was covered. When I was 18 I had my tonsils removed.... and within a matter of weeks my psriosis had cleared up 80% ! Amazing . It would only flare up now and again when I was feeling abit stressed . I drink aloe Vera, I work out , very rarely drink alcohol and like to think I look after my body ....I am now 33 ! Covid hit .... and my psriosis came back with a vengeance! I suffer all over my body but mainly on my legs. My right leg being the worst. I was to prescribed dovabet the same as you but I try to only use that once or twice a week when it gets unbearable. I like to use coconut oil when I get out of the shower but like you , nothing seems to help . Thank you for sharing your story, I am now going to try and cut out dairy to see if that has any impact x
hey, just wanted to mention hemp oil to you. it has helped with my scalp psoriasis. it's heavier consistency than coconut oil and smells a bit like fish, but I only use it every other week now I don't mind the smell.
Zoe, I can feel your pain. A book that might help, "healing psoriasis" by Dr.John's. this doctor studied psoriasis for over 40 years and the cookbook is def the go to
hey lucy ,feel so sorry for u ,i can feel the pain the suffering the agony u going through while dealing with psoarasis,i have gone through this agony my self ,all those reading my msg i would suggest only one thing,in a day indulge your self in some sweaty sports activities,do not eat inflamotory foods,try and relax as much as possible.dont stress out ,stay away from things and people that gives u stress,keep urself happy and fit,rest all things will start falling in its place sooner
Hey Lucy hope ur well. Thanks for ur content it's great to see that people are being helped by ur content💙💜
Thank you so much for this video where things are so naturally explained. You address your psoriasis with a scientific behaviour : one step at a time to test if it works or not. Very encouraging.
That specific element is utterly lacking in so many testimonials.
MUCH appreciated seeing it in this video.
Thank you Lucy ! I do have psoriasis on my body, i'm 67 years old and it came out after a heart attack that i had a year ago. And honestly doctors don't know what to do with it and that scares me. I don't want to show my self to anyone (Women)...
P/S I'M going to try to get away from dairy product....
Thk's again Lucy, take care of yourself Claude.
Metoo I'm dying Darling. Everyone wonder why I hide myself always
nutrition is the key, this book change my life "healing psoriasis" by Dr.John's. Check out the cookbook :)
Amazing information. I too had Psoriasis at the age of 5-6 years old. I had it all over my body. I was told that my body needed more sun. So I exposed my body to the sun and it eventually went away after some time . Fast forward 20 years and my Psoriasis started to make a comeback on my scalp. No sun, medicine or steroid cream, let alone advice from the doctor helped. I was embarrassed and refused to go out unless I wore a hat.
I started to look into alternative solutions. I quit drinking, smoking...and although it helped, It still hung around. Next I found some helpful info on the net that recommended trying to change diet and cut out stuff like wheat, gluten, dairy and processed foods. No deep fried stuff, and stay away from sugar.
With that little experiment, my Psoriasis cleared up on my scalp completely I was amazed.
If I eat cheese, too much sugar, bread or was not in a good mind set and really stressed I have flair ups.
I tried drinking some some sugar free alcohol, also a tea spoon of raw sugar for a coffee with normal milk, and it seemed to be fine.
Everyone is different and I think you just have to find the balance that suits you. Good luck everyone!
Bravo to you, Lucy! Thank you for this video. I like you for your honesty, courage, and caring for others. You're not alone. I've had psoriasis on and off for most of my life and way overused hydrocortisone on my face for many years. I've weaned off those steroids years ago but my skin is so very thin. I didn't know beforehand that cortisone would have this effect. Stress is my main trigger for a flare-up. For me, omega-3 fatty acids with high epa and dha help.
This is one of the best psoriasis videos I have watched so far! Thank you Lucy!
I am 29 and have had moderate scalp psoriasis since I was about 15-16. Here in the US, healthcare is so ridiculous and expensive, there is no way I can afford to even see the amount of GPs or dermatologists you've seen, so I've suffered through the dry, flaky, itchiness. Tried all the tar and other topical remedies with little to no results. I KNOW diet plays a huge part in AI flare ups and dairy is currently a large part of my diet (milk, yogurt, cheese!!). I need to be more productive in taking care of ME, and if trying elimination diets would help, I should give it a try. Probably starting with dairy...lol Just thinking out loud, here!

Thanks for sharing your story! Psoriasis is kind of unique because there is no 1 solution that works for everybody. That's why each of us have to do our own research and experiemt with different solutions. I started getting pso when I was 18 years old and because I tested so many different remedies, cures and diets I'm mostly PSO free.
Thanks again for sharing and god bless you.
