Thanks for your support .. our tradition eat Rice and what.. but I herd any plant food like grains or not good for psoriasis.. can you please let me know any other supplements to have instead of grains..
U said to avoid wheat but most of the food produced by wheat 🌾 I am from india hear wheat and rice is the main food ,could u please tell me ur suggestion to what should I eat instead of grains
srinivasulu and Akshay, I follow Sahil at Headbanger's Kitchen on UA-cam, and he uses cauliflower rice for times when he wants that vibe. He also has several flatbread videos, some of them with flours that are not nuts or grains. Plus, he's closer to you and probably understands better what will satisfy you. I hope that helps.
my body reacts to tabacco , sugar , grains, alcohol ( beer ) tomato.. and much more vegetables especiasly green ones, dust ,tree polls , grass, horses and some more animals , milk and so on.. it is drama! i dont have psoriasis, but eczema.. in a bad way.. i hard to avoid all the stuff i cant take...
I had severe psoriasis covering both legs below the knee for more than 20 years. Neither had seen sunshine for just as long. I started a strict keto carnivore diet solely for weight loss on July 1st 2021. Today is October 11th 2021 (2 1/2 months) and my psoriasis is completely gone with the exception of a small patch about the size of a dime on my left leg - all with NO medication. Hallelujah!
@@blackpenter4487 It's tough to maintain keytosis. But I have been very strict and have seen good results so far! BTW, I am not taking meds for my psoriasis. Good luck!
@@buddybuddy1988 I have two scrambled eggs with two sausages nearly every day. A year later I have lost 95 lbs, no return of psoriasis, blood pressure 124/72, pre diabetes and IBS GONE! I'm a believer for life!
@@buddybuddy1988 How is your condition, some people react to the whites and not the yolks. My great grandson, I make meatball treats with one yolk butter and a little liver, he loves them. He has strong reactions to the whites. Just bought pork rinds to see what else I can come up with for him, I have gone full carnivore.
Dr Berry my wife's friend from child hood lived in Camden TN and she had a lot of terrible doctors who did not care about her. She was in the hospital there and you were her doctor. She said you were the only doctor that showed any care for her. I wanted to personally thank you for your compassion. She passed recently.
ask speciallest about bills 1000 dollars for 3 months supply tousla or something like that friend of mine use the bills and get ridoff most of the spots try that I do not remember exact name the Dr should know
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.
NEEDED THIS INFO. SO BAD!! my 12 yr old nephew went away last summer, came back for school by August at least 20 pounds heavier and his skin was horrible! After inquiring found out he had a fun summer of eating a bunch of snack cakes and drinking dark sodas all day every day. Hard to keep him from scratching. Went out and bought all the lotions and soaps to bathe in but in the back of my mind I figured it had more to do with his eating. Thank you!!
I don't eat meat so this will be hard to find things after cutting all this out. Tobacco & alcohol I don't use. Seeded breads I love. I am going to give this a shot.
Rachel McNicol, Can you please share what has cured you? I never had Psoriasis but one of my niece's and one of my nephew's son also has it so I know about it. Thank you and God bless.
Well as I said it was a by product of wanting to get rid of inflammation and clear out adrenals. I've had it since I was 11yrs old. All over my scalp and smaller patches on my face. I'm 49 now. I went strict keto and took 250,000 iu of serrapeptase on an empty stomach each night and a swig of olive leaf extract in the morning after brush teeth and voila! It was a friend who noticed first that I wasn't scratching all the time. And I suddenly checked all over and it was all gone. I'd been so focused on my other concerns I'd just not noticed. It's been 2 years now I've been completely clear. But if I have carbs or sweets it starts to come back. The serrapetase and olive leaf I do notice keeps it not as inflamed and tolerable but it's the sugars from foods that kicks it off. So I'm pretty strict.
I stumbled upon Dr. Berry in early January of 2019 and began following him and eating ketogenicly. Since then my psoriasis and eczema have gone away and I've lost 110 lbs.
For the people who say you can't eat anything then, here are some foods that are not restricted based on the video: Chicken, Turkey, Beef, Fish and seafood, eggs, spinach, kale, lettuce, carrots, mushrooms, onions, beets, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, zucchini, cucumber, berries (strawberry, blueberries, raspberry), apples, pear, orange, grapefruit, avocado, olives and olive oils, nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, chia, flax, cashews and pistachios) , beans, lentils and chickpeas and for drinking water, herbal tea or black coffee
@@balazs.joo90 how abt Pumpkin, bottle guard, Ridge gourd. These vegetables we get in India. So could you pls tel exactly what should be present in any vegetables or fruits? So that irrespective of country we can check whether particular substance/s(which you may tel ) is present or not and accordingly can consume.
Oil oxidizes with the air in the bottle and when poured onto a cooking surface & heated, it oxidizes within minutes. When you introduce an oxidized substance into the body, you create inflammation. Inflammation low levels of low-grade constant inflammation accumulate and it’s only a matter of time before something “breaks”. When you fry food, this process is accelerated remarkably. Oil heated in a fryolator creates a molecule in a food which is fried called acrylamide which is carcinogenic. • This means NO SALAD DRESSING, COOKING OIL, FRIED FOOD, MAYONAISE • Note: some health food stores carry salad dressing that is oil-free • To cook in skillet, use lard or butter, NO CRISCO
1. Tobacco products 2. Sugar 3. Grains (All grains, not just wheat) 4. Alcohol 5. Seed Oils (they are chemically made in factories) 6. Dairy (it’s not the fat, it’s the lactose) 7. Night Shades (plants)
As far as Dairy products.....it is the Casein A1 protein in milk and cheese you need to avoid. Butter is ok. Substitute goat or sheep cheese for cow cheese.
#8 should be BLACK MOLD. I suffered with hardcore psoriasis for 6 years and tried everything my doctors could think of. I almost went insane. Then I started remodeling my bathroom and found a lot of black mold behind my shower walls. I had it all professionally removed and all my symptoms disappeared in a week. Black mold poisoning is only occasionally mentioned in psoriasis literature so even doctors tend to forget/overlook it. If nothing’s working for you, have your home tested for mold. It only takes a day and a couple hundred bucks. I hope this helps somebody.
So I have been psoriasis free for years, and I have noticed when I leave my house for a week or so I get a little bit of black mold on the inside of the toilet. This may be what is causing my psoriasis to come back after these years. Thanks for the tip.
Can support this. When I was young we had mold growing in our home. I I had these patches that itched and felt like needles constantly fucking me up. We got rid of it an poof, no more patches. Fast forward - went to the Marine Corps and my psoriasis NEVER showed its face. When I got out, started a family and got a home it came back. Took a peek behind our shower aaaaannnd you guessed it, mold. Got rid of it and poof, no more patches.. gotta be something here lol
if that is true, this is very special and the world need to know this. Could it really be that simple? And why would psoriasis attack only hands and feets? or other parts specific of the body? weird if true...
@@jessikapiche6097 black mold creates a myotoxcin that damages the liver. There’s a well-documented correlation between psoriasis and various liver conditions such as alcoholic and fatty liver disease. Mine wasn’t located only on my hands, but all over my back, scalp, and legs. This isn’t meant to be the end-all cause of a complex autoimmune condition, just one of many factors that could trigger the problem.
I agree with all of this having had scalp psoriasis for 15 years and it’s extremely controllable with diet, especially gluten and dairy however nobody EVER talks about the emotional component of all of these conditions. Very important to address the emotional root cause as well. I find hypnosis and the tapping method has tremendously helped me in this regard as well as energy healing.
8:45 is why you are here for. Here's the summary. Things to avoid 1. Tobacco and products 2. Sugar and products 3. Grain (all types of grains/ gluten) 4. Alcohol 5. Seed oils (canola, soy bean, sunflower, walnut oil, peanut oil etc. Seed oils with High omega 6 to omega 3 ratio) 6. Dairy and products (lactose, inflammatory inducing dairy proteins) 7. Night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, egg plants etc)
I remember my dad's dermatologist said that psoriasis is a chronic multifactorial skin disease with no cure. The cause is unknown to medical science. He needs to change/try different drugs until he got it right for my dad. Nothing happen after years of trials. I learned some low carb high fat for dad's diet. We surprised the dermatologist after less than a year of dieting. Thanks Dr Ken!
I recently read a compendium of statements on WebMD about dozens of diseases, and every single one said 'doctors don't know what causes xxxxx, but this or that pharmaceutical can help relieve the symptoms of xxxxx." Pharma took over medicine decades ago [they actually started the AMA simply to trick doctors to prescribe their useless & DANGEROUS products.] It's one of the biggest scams running on the planet!
My dear husband had terrible psoriasis, all of his life, he was hospitalized, he had special baths, soaps, ointment ,heat/ sun treatments. He smoked and also drank beer. Then he got terminal lung cancer, and his psoriasis disappeared. Nothing on his body... now I realise that he gave up smoking and drinking beer when he was so ill. This makes perfect sense. We had read about some of these " triggers" , but he wouldn't/ couldn't give them up until he was so ill. I was totally convinced that his cancer, and this immune system were linked in some manner.
My gramps had the same, altho his psoriasis went away after chemo. So it might be that. Did some google search, turns out there are some sort of chemo therapy for psoriasis, but I'm guessing it's not cheap, nor easily available for us peasants :/
@@cookiecookson9648it’s called methotrexate. It’s relatively inexpensive. Look into Taltz. It’s a biologic. Pamphlet says cost is around $25 a month or so.
My uncle would, drink, smoke and was diabetic eating donuts and cake alot to stress eat, his psoriasis was horrible. Lucky he got cancer and the cancer saved him because it forced him to eat healthy & exercise with better sleep. Fixed pretty much everything even the cancer got fixed with treatment. Unfortunately he passed away because after getting cured he went back to his habbits and got in a worse situation that finally was too much.
@cookiecookson9648 absolutely the chemo...my psoriasis was so bad 4 years ago that they suggested that chemotherapy was the next step for treatment. It's an autoimmune disease like cancer, so is treated with aggressive medication if necessary. Mine went away shortly after attempting suicide....the only changes I made were no alcohol and consumed nothing but chicken and vegetables. I had 85%+ body coverage and went to zero....4 years later, I began to consume alcohol, sugar, gluten and carbs...now I have 30% coverage of psoriasis. I've recently cut out alcohol sugar, and gluten ...and it's reducing by the day
Seeing all these comments about psoriasis makes me feel more comfortable, I was scared being the only one with weird spots on my body, After reading so many comments i feel really good knowing there are people out here who got the same problem !~
I don't smoke or drink alcohol, I only use butter, coconut oil or bacon fat (with eggs only); everything else is my entire diet! My cholesterol is 233, blood sugar is high normal (after a 13-hr fast). Wouldn't all that meat and eggs make cholesterol higher? I need fruit or prune juice to avoid constipation (I don't eat cheese or peanut butter which really constipate me). What can I live on besides the 2-3 quarts of water I drink daily!?! I can't eat very much (never could), so I really have nothing to live for (I'm not suicidal, but it would help if I was! Please help!
I’m so happy to hear a doctor say that psoriasis is not a skin problem! I’m one of those people who have expensive steroid creams and topicals in my bathroom which has not helped. It’s a gut issue!
I had psoriasis flare up out of nowhere at 13, was just standard dandruff looking up until a couple years ago when it’s started affecting my face and it looked real bad, then last year I started avoiding anything dairy related and within a couple weeks there was a massive difference
I hardly drink milk if o do its a small glass Now my dad has it bad he has it bad he drinks 2 large glasses milk and wheat toast with peanut butter and honey every day and a of wheat bran Graham cereal with more milk and bananas so he is making his condition worse? He won't quit smoking or slow down I smoke some
OMG yes my psoriasis started on my face , I thought it wss a pimple until ir got worse . I didnt want to go outside at all . Summer of last year I was out here wearing sweaters bc it got bad on my arms and legs
I have had various outbreaks of psoriasis all my life, and for the last 15 years only mild outbreaks with one spot on my knee that NEVER went away. Since being on keto the last year all the psoriasis has disappeared and not returned. AMAZING!!
Those exact things trigger mine.....I have young kids and the lack of sleep which translates to stress triggers it. Also I love the gym and not getting has also caused me to gain weight which is contributing
I have had psoriasis for a long time and I have visited many doctors, the ointments are expensive but I don't think my psoriasis has gone away, and doctors generally don't recommend dieting After finding your video I am very happy and grateful and I will start a carnivore diet so that I can get rid of the rash which is very annoying
Going carnivore over 4 years ago knocked my psoriasis down but not completely out. After summer was over and my exposure to sunlight went down to virtually nil until the following spring was the worst time. This was a yearly cycle I noticed improvement this past fall when I notched up my vitamin D intake to keep my immune system up for cold and flu season. The “duh” light went on over my head - vitamin D deficiency !!! I did a bit of research and it turns out most people are severely vitamin D deficient. I went up ton10,000 IU a day and have seen incredible improvement in my skin. Look into it …
Client of mine with serious psoriasis stumbled on some actual research on Vit D. He tried it himself and I watched his visible patched disappear over 5 or 8 weeks, iirc. I should try it myself. After I completely comply with Dr. Ken's list here.
I was on vacation overseas and avoided dairy like the plague for 4 weeks and my psoriasis cleared up better than any medication or cream I've ever been on. Food journaling has also revealed problems with nightshade vegetables for me and my psoriatic arthritis. Red meat has been horrible for my digestion, with grains, even the "healthy" ones not far behind. I highly recommend food journaling along with symptom journaling. It's the kind of thing you have to see to believe sometimes.
It's not the read meat that's the issue, it's that your body is screwed up and you cant handle the most easily digestible food on the planet. I eat 3 pounds of meat a day and Ive never felt better
Thanks Doc for trying. You probably have a point or few to make . In my opinion: There are simply too many variables in a diet that cannot be controlled to pin down to the ones you mentioned as probable causes. I had Psoriasis from age 45 to around 60. Used Salicylic products by the kilogram. Mysteriously disappeared even after I stopped medication. Never smoked and limited alcohol to wine and beer. But changed my lifestyle to active, attending gym, weight lifting (and still do at the age of 70) and cutting back on alcohol, grains, seed oil and sugar almost 99% and avoiding highly processed foods. And psoriasis is history.
The topical steroid. Helped some small spots get better but made 4 spots get worse My doctor prescribed a 3rd. It does nothing The gold bond helps with the itching Doctor said eat more fruits and vegatables and put valseline on it Which I have not tried and wash 3x a day sounds excessive I don't think washing 3x a day would help I use pine tar soap But going back to other black kind Ivory soap dry skin out Tell me exactly what you did Thanks
Thank you Dr Berry, I’m trying to help my husband with this he has it on both legs and now he’s been complaining about his joints hurting allot more. Unfortunately he does consume pretty much everything on that list… he loves his sweets and I even brought up the other day that maybe the amount of sugar he eats could most likely be hurting him. 🙏🙏🙏 Prayers for him and others who have this condition because I definitely see how uncomfortable this condition is.
I'm now 55, psoriasis has ruined my life from I was 6 years old when it came out of the blue. I was bullied since then. I have it severely. My whole body covered in inch thick plaques. I have the 5 different types. And severe psoracic arthritis. Stress is a big factor for me. I will try your diet. Thank you. ❤
Sorry folks what do you all recommend? I'm already eating very little because of severe nausea. I have liver failure, I've never drank in my life but I had gallbladder surgery 32 years ago and they scattered stones into the ducts of my liver and pancreas. They never told me I was basically a Guinea pig, and the 1st in Northern Ireland to have keyhole surgery and the consultant was teaching doctors from England. I was only home 2 days when I collapsed, I woke up 6 days later in ICU. I've had several attacks of acute pancreatitis and biliary sepsis where my bile duct blocks and its a very long recovery. Have any of you had biological treatments? Many thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪 💚☘️
@@joanmcnulty2221 baking soda (aka: sodium bicarbonate) is great for nausea among other things -teaspoon in a 1/2 glass of distilled water (ask ur doc)
No sugar. No alcohol. No grains. No canola oil which means no restaurant fried foods. No dairy. No nightshades (potatoes, peppers, tomatoes). So I can have clear skin but lose all flavor and enjoyment in eating, or enjoy the food I love and look like one of the undead from a D&D book cover. Great job, evolution.
@@keylanoslokj1806 And for millions of years our species suffered from thousands of medical conditions leading to a life expectancy that was a fraction of what it is today 🤡
Thanks for the helpful tips. I lived abroad for thirty some years and the psoriasis never goes away and it got worse during winter time. Now I'm living on a small island (atoll) and my diet was totally different from before. Now my skin was totally clear..no more flare ups. But during the Summer, I always visited the main island and that's when my diet changed again then the psoriasis came back. Thanks for sharing..
Thank you so much for this. My husband suffers from psoriasis, but my daughter is covered head to toe with it. She has had it since she was 2 years old. We improved it greatly a few years back when we went keto, but over the years we have slipped back into the bad habits. I am trying my best to heal our family inside out. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Please do boost your diet with zinc...I suffer eczema...which is not far from psoriasis since they are having both allergic rxnz. The inflammations are due to lack of zinc, and zinc in the diet at good levels, has good antiinflammatory properties. Supplement your diet with pumpkin seeds...it's dense in zinc. Also, ensure u get a diet rich in omega three...foods like Nile perch fish, crabs, oysters and salmon will boost ur omega three levels, which boost skin healing process from inflammation. Another thing, the gut requires good level of lactobacillus bacteria to function well. Ensure you incorporate a supplement of this bacteria. Speaking to you, am seriously incorporating high zinc food in my system and omega three and I am improving. Also, if you see improvement after one month...you can get back to normal and completely have your psoriasis cured, as long as u boost mineral supplement as zinc, omega three in the diet
@@aerospacegamer7775I would be willing to try I already do homeopathy Stuff some Was going to this doctor Expensive ? Reasonable? Or cheap? Please tell me more
I am 66 and developed Psoriasis in my early 20's at 1 stage in hospital for 10 days, being covered in potions and having UV treatment, I had 75% body coverage. The thing that reduced my Psoriasis to a massive degree was Lecithin granules, 3 teaspoons a day, plus a change in diet, I still have some patches, 1 on my leg and on my scalp. I do have to add that I believe stress does play a part also, and that a trauma in my life at 23 caused it to erupt.
When you give up all those sugary foods like bread,potatoes,and pasta and start reading labels and limit your carb intake...Amazing things happen!!😊 Food is medicine it can work for you or against you!!
It's not really that food is medicine... It's just that a lot of food is poison... Once you get rid of the poisons and eat what we evolved to eat, your body can do wonders!! It's not the food making amazing things. It's you, take the credit!! :)
Thank you for all of your wisdom and sharing with us. I just got diagnosed with psoriasis on July 8, 2023 and my doctor wants me to put Humira in my body and every part of me says no to a harmful drug that lowers my immune system. I think you for helping us
Thank you for being a rare, honest doctor! And one who does research beyond medical school! I've suffered with psoriasis for 20+ years and am finally fed up enough to completely change my diet for as long as it takes!
I can not thank you enough. I watched this today and it finally made sense why my dog was so broken out. You are so much better than the veterinarian. They put my dog a strong allergy pill for 2 yrs. Then it stopped working. I've been reading , trying several different things. She gets better than worse. Its the oatmeal ,bananas, cheese , etc. Thankyou sooooo much ,now it makes sense and what a difference already.
My former boss's dog had the same problem. Treating the dog's allergies cost a fortune and the allergies continued to get worse. I suspect that my boss and his wife finally euthanized their dog when his own health became so bad and the costs of covering all medical bills was too much. Besides the dog was suffering.
I'm currently going through hell experiencing TSW (Topical Steroid withdrawal). I've been taking live Probiotics for 7 days and my skin condition is nearly gone. Gut health is everything and for some reason NO ONE talks about Probiotics.
There are generally two ways of getting rid of psoriasis which I tried and worked. One is the Keto diet (High fat, moderate protein, and very low carb) and the other one is the intermittent fasting (16, 18, OMAD daily or 36+ hour fast once a week) with little bit of the forbidden things e.g. Some grains, Some dairy (Full fat milk or Yogurt, Goat milk rather that Cow milk) etc. Honestly I found that it is very hard to maintain strict Keto long term, due to the obligations of our social life, but I found intermittent fasting comparatively easy to maintain long term. Whenever I have to eat something (Friend's home or office) that may trigger my psoriasis, I simply stop eating and only drink water after that for at least 18 hours to help my body cope with it. This way I can maintain my social life and also manage my psoriasis.
I do intermittent fasting and do keto on the weekdays but allow myself a little bit of pasta and fries on the weekends and a couple beers. I haven't gotten rid of my psoriasis 100% but about 90% and I'm okay with that. I will not be giving up potatoes, tomatoes, peppers or beer. Might as well just die. lol
😊 I naturally cleared my lifelong (40 years) psoriasis over ten years ago now, and have been maintaining 100% clearance pretty much ever since. I did it with diet, supplements and stress management.......I used pharmaceuticals for 40 years and either they didn't work, or they made me worse. Edit: Mine is hereditary.
@@Boxingvibe - The Jason Vale Clear Skin Program, and a lot of trial and error from my own efforts. Plus change of diet. Plus supplements: Zinc, Vitamin D3 and Fish Oil.
Thank you doctor. I"ve been dealing with psoriasis since I was 11 years old. I'm 51. Mine is doing really good except for 1 area. But my son oh my his legs, arms scalp. Breaks my heart. He is 26 years old.
I got rid of my psoriasis going keto, stop drinking and completely removing soy from the diet. No medication for over a year now, no symptoms. I remember, when I was a kid, hearing from the doctor that it doesn't have a cure, I just have to deal with the symptoms with medication (usually creams with corticoid hormones added).
@@kppurohit9537 I explained it in the comment. Start a keto diet, don't drink alcohol, and be sure to remove any grains and food made from grains even if it's low carb (like soybean oil). Also sunbathing everyday helps. And just to be sure, eat some fatty fish at least once a week for the omega 3 to help lower inflammation. It takes some time to really feel the difference. For me it took a couple of months. Just be patient and consistent with the diet. Dr Berry has a lot of good videos explaining how to do a keto diet properly. Good luck. I hope it works for you.
This is so very interesting - thank you Dr. When my son was in elementary school, he had difficulty sitting still and we tried a course of Ritalin with terrible side effects. We then took him to a pediatrician who was also a clinical ecologist and allergy specialist. We learned that our son was terribly allergic to corn, sugar, wheat and some other foods that I don't really remember. We followed a strict diet, but relatives thought it was hogwash. They actually proved that the diet worked, because son was horrible after being fed garbage. As a teenager, the diet went by the wayside and psoriasis appeared with a vengeance. He now has psoriatic arthritis and takes biologics when it gets too terrible. I am going to ask him to watch your videos. He can start by eliminating corn and grains, which were a problem before.
I have had psoriasis since I was 14 years old and so far I have visited many doctors and their recommendations were different which made me confused about this disease.
@ Carole Anne By chance was your son born by C-section? I read years ago, then was confirmed by my functional medicine Dr., that babies who aren't born vaginally have more allergies and autoimmune issues because they do not get the microbes and flora via the mothers birth canal that helps protect the child to keep them healthy and fight disease... It makes complete sense to me!
Best video ever Dr. Berry. I am having a super bad problem and I know what you address in this video is going to help me tremendously. Thank you so much for this video and taking the time to help us sort this problem out! I had made an appointment with a specialist and will cancel my appointment!!
Doc, thank you so much!!! I've had psoriasis since 13 & PSA. I've been using vitimans d3 & k2 w l-glutamine. Along w proper diet. Been 3 week's now & I'm amazed absolutely amazed @ how much better my psoriasis is!!! I have it on my hands & fingertips BAD. my elbows are clearing up & my hands are looking better. Even my hair & the rest of my skin looks & feels better. I'm so thankful I found You!!! I will update you Doc, and again thank you. Had psoriasis for 35 year's. Now seems to be going away ♡♡♡ day by day w proper diet & vitimans God Bless Doc!!!
I notice my mood has a huge impact on mine. If I'm feeling down over time it'll definitely flare up. I recommend meditation to improve mood. Getting direct sunlight (or vitamin D as others have mentioned) makes a big difference. I know the point of this video is to address the underlying issues, but I thought I'd add that if you must use something externally, I would recommend trying teatree oil
I think I must share my experience . I agree about the gut health being the priority and of utmost concern when it comes to abnormal immune response but the biggest thing I've learnt from my experience is one rule doesn't apply to all. We have to figure the food out ourselves, what benefits our gut health and what ruins it . I'm completely okay with dairy and grains but meat is tough for me to digest and makes me feel extremely bloated after meals . So my point is that one rule doesn't apply to all , everyone's body is different . Also , it's worth finding out about from the older generations in your family about their diet and lifestyle even though the food that they ate was completely different and definitely cleaner . But still worth finding out
I hated most meat my whole life until a few years ago I started eating it everyday. Now I crave it and better news, my stomach aches and other things that went with my autoimmune issues have gone down about 90%🎉
A couple of years ago I had some itchy, red places show up over my eyelids and neck. These spots would be activated by sweating. Just drove me crazy! Keto has caused these places to go away. Yaaaay! Thank you Dr. Berry! Your information is changing lives. ❤️
Avoid stress/anxiety, corse soaps, scented lotions, even the water in some places makes my skin irritated... but I’ve noticed it does away when I’m not super stressed out and when I am it comes right back
@@aquariosoul that has always helped me also, Prayer/meditation also works good on me to decompress; what kind of ointment do you use, I have an RX ointment but I just use coconut oil alot of the times which works well; cortisone cream also works good on me
Wow, thank you so much! Im so happy to know there are doctors like you (honest, with integrity and care for clients) out therr. Thank you so much! I have scalp psoriasis and its very embarrassing and frustrating. I now have dermatitis as well.. Im assuming its come from the psoriasis.
I have had Psoriasis for 50 years, and it is flaring at the moment. I have already adjusted my diet a lot as I am in a recovery program for Fibromyalgia and CFS. However, I will get stricter - no sugar, grains, nightshades. Worth a try. I will say that regular skin care with oatmeal baths and moisturising is essential to reduce the itching and support healing.
I have PsA. I have been on a biologic infusion for a year. Within two treatments my skin was clear and the pain in my joints was almost completely gone. I began eliminating sugar and carbs about 6 months ago and have lost 26 pounds. I just found this video so I am hoping I will be able to stop these infusions.
@@sagarsoni3302 I wouldn't say I am cured so much as under control. My doctor hasn't given me a time line to stopping the infusions. She said its too soon.
I had severe psoriatic arthritis. I could not walk for several months, from the pain of the arthritis along my left side, from my hip to my foot. I refused to take the biologics. I changed my diet and no longer have symptoms other than maybe a small plaque or two on my scalp. I've learned that I should not eat sugar, wheat, or dairy. Sometimes I still do...and I get joint pain by the next day.
I was told turmeric could cause damage to my liver & kidneys. And with all my many, many, food allergies & sensitivities this diet is useless to me. But doesn't help my psoriasis & 3 different types of arthritis. Nor my c.f. After several decades of dealing with these health issues, l found less or avoidance of most meds of everything is best. Biologics is the only thing that allows me to move even with extreme pain & keep my skin somewhat clear. What else is there to do for seniors?
I did not stop eating everything that he's talking about because I was already underweight and eliminating most of these from my diet would be really bad for my ed but eliminating gluten, diary and sugar really made a difference. I also switched to green tea from coffee and that was a big help too. Please don't eliminate everything from your diet even though it might help with psoriasis it can lead to other problems. Instead of completely removing rice from your diet switch to brown rice for example.
@@desireefielder626 how did you do it? I'm really stuck trying to quit my 2 coffees a day with milk and sugar. I feel sad like I am giving up something i look forward to waking up for and my evening break after working out. I know i SHOULD but my lizard brain kicks in every day 😢
I stopped coffee when my nespresso died on me one morning a few years ago. Had to go to work and had a few difficult days but felt less tired in general after that. That's when I looked up info on it and realized how addictive coffee is and how it affects your sleep (you basically wake up due to mild daily withdrawals). I drink chicory now (the pure and uncaffinated kind, only a couple grams of carbs per cup).
My psoriasis started at age 13 after a severe strep infection. I was lean and athletic and have battled it ever since. I believe it is contaminated grains that are the culprit now. Most grains sprayed with glyphosate at harvest time. Roundup is most likely in much of our food supply. Grains have always biblically been an integral component of diets all over the world and without them billions would have perished. Infections can also trigger psoriasis, especially strep infections.
Joseph Davis My younger 14 year old brother had a similar issue. He had a really bad cough for weeks and then the psoriasis appeared on his face. It was misdiagnosed as ringworm for months too. The cream they gave him made the scar on his face much worse. Really heart breaking as 7 months later his body is covered with it, and he STILL hasn’t been officially diagnosed, but I’m determined to help him keep it at bay through diet. It’s though as he’s only 14 and knows nothing about nutrition, but we will succeed eventually.
So far, Dr. Berry has been right on with his advice. I was on the KETO diet for about 4 months, then Carnivore. I love it. Lost 85 pounds in about13 months. Feel great! Health problems disappeared. Thanks Dr. Berry.
Psoriasis of the nails is really bad as well, very hard to hide. I drink bone broth I make every week. I take L-Glutamine in large doses for the gut. Alcohol is the big one, you need a healthy liver and gut to help Psoriasis. Exercise is also a good idea.
I find hard water brings on my psoriasis. When I lived in both Scotland and Ireland I lived in areas with soft water. The whole time I lived there I did not have psoriasis but every time I come home to Canada for a visit my psoriasis flares up and I have actually changed my diet for the better.
I had guttate psoriasis( very severe) when i was 26 years old,I was tired of using steroid liniments and expensive prescribed medicine,then a friend advised me to take Cod liver Oil,I was really skeptic about it but just by taking one table spoon for three days it was gone,I couldn't believe it!, It repeated 5 years later,I took the cod liver oil and it was gone again.I really hope this information is useful for someone here with the same problem,and I wish you to get well.
I think we have all the knowledge in our own selves to clear our psoriasis. The body is a natural self-regulating vehicle. If we’re in constant state of agitation, we can’t listen to our thoughts and needs to organize our lives in a way for health. So most people are on a negative health train when they should be conscious and nourishing themselves.
I stoped alcohol cigarettes gluten grains pasta bread nightshades coffee black tea ☕️ booze chocolate,black and milk ,my skin is clear ,I’ve been doing this for a very long time ,thanks Ken
My son is only 7 but was just diagnosed with psoriasis in January. We have completely eliminated dairy, eggs, gluten and added in more fruits and veggies. We had food sensitivity testing and although he did show some sensitivity to oats and white rice he still does have some gluten free oats as well as brown rice, quinoa and organic corn. We try to avoid all oils in general and eat mostly whole food plant based but he does have some meat. Hope that is helpful for anyone else who has psoriasis or a child with psoriasis! Healing the gut is absolutely critical to healing psoriasis!
am filled with joy and happiness with my family today, because of fibroids my tubes was blocked for 5years after using Dr Omo herbal medicine I was able to shrinking my fibroid naturally, I just give birth to a boy🤱🏿last month here*❤️ Dr Omo herbal medicine work perfectly well he can also help you get rid of Endometriosis, Infections, Unblocked Tubes, Ovarian Cyst, Pcos, Lupus& Herpes Etc xx
Look into the Autoimmune Protocol. It is a diet specifically designed for autoimmunity and eliminates a lot of different foods with the intent of reintroducing most them little by little after your gut has healed in order to figure out which specific foods cause the flares
Fruit is pure sugar, especially fruit juices, high carb veg are also converted to sugar, green leafy veg is OK. Dr Berry has many videos on it, good luck! 😊
So true! I've had psoriasis for years and it wasn't until I went on Keto did I notice my skin cleared up. I still have some eczema but I'm 95% cured! Thanks for making it make sense to me!
I've suffered a lot from acute skin problems - eczema, psoriasis, severe allergies. But after I stopped all dairy products I got better. I also notice that consuming tomatoes and aubergines makes my skin very itchy, so have stopped these. I feel much better
I've had P for most of my life. It started on my scalp when I was 17, and spread to my body in my early 20's I'm in my 60's now. I found a book on how to "cure" this about 35 years ago and it describes exactly what you state in this video. I was on this "diet" for about 30 years and all it did was control it. I could never get it to "go away"I did not want any medications. But I had a bad flair up about 6 years ago and finally went to a dermatologist and he prescribed enbril. It was like a miracle, these so called diets don't work for everyone. But even my dermatologist said to cut out alcohol, and smoking, I asked him about diet, he said diet has nothing to do with it. But if you can find relief with just diet then go for it. But like I said, diet does not work for everyone.
@@MarvelousMarvinB No he's right. For some people there is a limit to what diet can do. It is not caused by diet, so diet might help only a little for some people. There are many different causes of psoriasis.
I went on the Keto diet for 5 months and unfortunately, I'm sad to say it didn't change my psoriasis. No sugar, carbs, gluten or dairy and 18:6 intermittent fasting every day. I'm going to try it again and hopefully have some better results this time.
eat only Free range grass fed meats and chickens and eggs, everything clean .Take digestive enzymes with every meal and L glutamine with meals and probiotics. need to heal your gut lining, Your liver needs help too . Get a liver tonic from a homeopath . If your liver is toxic and fatty you wont clear up .
@@sandyseale1 the fatty liver will heal by the keto n IF Just takes long time 6 mos to heal liver than functioning liver can start healing the body/psoriasis
I've learned an incredible amount of information by watching about a dozen of Kens videos tonight on a variety of topics. I haven't learned this much in a cumulation of years, but I did, in few hours time now.
You are talking about my husband! I got him a book on how to cure psoriasis by John Pagano years ago. Basically said what you've said. My husband is now on biologics for it and it worries me those meds will take a serious toll on him. He doesn't see no sugar is the answer.
Thank you for your help...I have a good friend who is a Doctor...and she has helped me with similar information...sin glutin foods and milk sin lactose...had helped greatly...thank againxxx
I have had Psoriasis for over 23 years, it in my case is not genetic but it showed up after a very stressful time in my life. I don't smoke or drink but carbs is the problem in my case. What makes my Psoriasis disappear is a Carnivore diet, it takes a couple of months of clean eating for this to completely work. I never gave up cheese or peppers but the fewer carbs I eat the better it is. About all I have left at this point is the scars...
A friend started taking vitamin D and it went away after having it for years! She always wondered why it was better on holidays in the sun..it now makes sense!
@@brennaward7058 I always found sunlight made a big difference too, I know that's not always suitable, just thought I'd share something I learned recently, mushrooms are a great source for vitamin D, we can actually place them in sunlight shortly before eating and it greatly increases the vitamin d content 🙏
Thanks so much for this, Dr. Berry. I'm a carnivore and have been for almost 15 months, but it always helps me to be reminded of all the reasons I'm doing this. I had psoriatic arthritis before starting lowcarb/keto, then zero carb. Thanks again! :)
@@desireefielder626what do you/did you eat on carnivore? It seems like many eat bad meat, eggs and dairy on carnivore. Seems like people that do the lion diet(grass fed beef, salt and water) almost always heal. Very curious about your journey..
Hi iv had psoriasis for 66 years ,had it terrible,never went away .Last year I started on biologics infections an it’s all gone ,I can’t begin to tell anyone how I feel ,it’s a miracle,I can wear cloths I couldn’t dream of wearing I’m truly grateful the dr Harper uk ❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏🙏
I really like your calmness and how you don’t behave extreme about this stuff. Sometimes your videos are a little too long but I welcome the opportunity to learn. A big thank you.
Ken, I agree 100% with you! I had psoriasis and it all went away when I did the carnivore diet. I did it for a solid 6 months, only meat and water. Olive and coconut oil and mostly BBQ meat. I stuck to the protein and it did wonders for me. During the lockdown, I have started to use some wheat and grain product, and immediately I could see the inflammation flaring up. I started to itch at the places where I previously had the psoriasis spots.
If you took a candida diet and a daily intake of vitamin d3 it would have healed you faster, in about 1 month and a half. Some say the carnivore diet cured them because meat has high doses of vitamin d, animals spend most of their time outdoors hence why they are filled with vitamin d and because of it they are also heavy in metals and yeast cannot survive in an acidic environment, but it is not healthy for the body, especially for the heart. Psoriasis is not due to overweight, it is due to an over population of yeast. Every person who has psoriasis has intestinal issues, and this is due to too much yeast in the gut. Psoriasis is a fungi, it is yeast overgrowth thats what it is. The yeast overgrowth eventually weakens the thyroid and therefore other organs become weakened. So by getting into a candida diet and eliminating sugar and starchy foods the yeast cannot survive. For severe cases a high dosage of vitamin d3 will cure them but it can be dangerous, eventually developing hypercalcemia and deregulate the hormone balance in the long run, thats why it is prescribed to older population but if you are young getting a healthy diet will cure you naturally
I experience now psoriasis al my body especially in my scalp it disturbing me so much help me to be cure I buy to much lotion and cream from my doctor till now not finish my problem especially in my scalp. I think I need to shave my hair. Hoping for your advice thanks
I'd suffered with widespread Psoriasis Vulgaris for 40 years. Last year I stumbled upon research on B12/B6/Folic Acid around the time I had just began Keto - three months later I was 99% clear (and 3st lighter!) from either the supplements or in combination of low carbs. I hope this can help someone else. I am not a medical practitioner, do not take this as medical advice and do your own research - everyone is different.
You’re 100% right. I try to avoid most of the things mentioned in the video. But I also eliminated Beef from my diet and my psoriasis significantly decreased
Dr Berry...why does the immune system pick different things to be confused about? Why skin in some people, joints in some people, myelin sheath in some people etc? Does anyone know why it manifests in different ways (aside from the genetic predisposition) ? Could you possibly explain it in a video or a blog post?
Use of antibiotics open door for havoc afterwards. Steroid use, kills liver and causes chain reaction in gut. Use lard and tons of healthy fat to restore yourself.
Thank you so much because none of the creams seem to work and I will show this to my dermatologist and my family who have all gave me things and sent me places and nothing seems to work I'm definitely going to try this
I used to get psoriasis over my entire body. I had eczema on my fingertips from age 4 to around age 12. I then developed psoriasis to the extent that hospitalization was suggested. My mother had a panel of UV light made instead. At 19, a dermatologist told me I'd probably develop psoriatic arthritis and I promptly obliged. One in patient stay (weeks) and a few years later, Columbia Presbyterian offered an out patient program. I'd had some decent periods of remission and even what I'd call spontaneous remission. At 17, I hitchhiked cross country and by the time I got to CA, No psoriasis. Rock bottom at 22 when my sister taught me visualization. One month and I was in remission. I had a mild recurrence at 29, then nothing for 30 years. My skin was amazing enough for people to comment on it. People who had no idea I'd ever had psoriasis. At 59, I'm processing some intense emotional stuff regarding my mother. I find it interesting that the only way she paid any attention to me was if I had skin issues...I learned about nightshade plants many years ago and I attributed the eczema to dairy (my kids never had cow's milk) and I know my body does not like grains. Basically, I have employed these wonderful suggestions (with the exception of dirty martinis when out!) for years. I strongly believe there's an emotional component here and I'm suggesting all of the above plus meditation. This Doctor is exactly who I'd have been so grateful to know all those years ago!!
Two other things that help tremendously for me, is exposing my psoriasis to the sun and seawater. I do them together so if one is doing more of the work, I don't know. They're usually gone within 2-3 days..that fast! Thank you Dr. Berry for all of the additional information. I'll try the other things too since I don't get to the ocean that often.
The 3 things that work the most effectively for psoriasis is: 1. Keto Diet (Easiest, cheapest and most effective in my experience) 2. Melanotan2 (Another VERY effective treatment. I can even eat sugary foods and take MT2 and still get rid of all the psoriasis) 3. Lots of water (Optional, but imo very important part of keeping your skin smooth and clear instead of rough and dry) Hopefully this will help someone out.

U said to avoid wheat but most of the food produced by wheat 🌾 I am from india hear wheat and rice is the main food ,could u please tell me ur suggestion to what should I eat instead of grains
srinivasulu and Akshay, I follow Sahil at Headbanger's Kitchen on UA-cam, and he uses cauliflower rice for times when he wants that vibe. He also has several flatbread videos, some of them with flours that are not nuts or grains. Plus, he's closer to you and probably understands better what will satisfy you. I hope that helps.

I had severe psoriasis covering both legs below the knee for more than 20 years. Neither had seen sunshine for just as long. I started a strict keto carnivore diet solely for weight loss on July 1st 2021. Today is October 11th 2021 (2 1/2 months) and my psoriasis is completely gone with the exception of a small patch about the size of a dime on my left leg - all with NO medication. Hallelujah!

My son's doctor scoffed at me and told me to buy Head and Shoulders.
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.
NEEDED THIS INFO. SO BAD!! my 12 yr old nephew went away last summer, came back for school by August at least 20 pounds heavier and his skin was horrible! After inquiring found out he had a fun summer of eating a bunch of snack cakes and drinking dark sodas all day every day. Hard to keep him from scratching. Went out and bought all the lotions and soaps to bathe in but in the back of my mind I figured it had more to do with his eating. Thank you!!

I got rid of my psoriasis by accident. Went off all sugar and carbs for thyroid and psoriasis went away. Took about 3 weeks.
Excellent! Please Share your story with all in need!
Rachel McNicol,
Can you please share what has cured you? I never had Psoriasis but one of my niece's and one of my nephew's son also has it so I know about it. Thank you and God bless.
My psoriasis is only back of head, Ive had it only 2 years, after healing thyroid, heart and other problems, so not sure why I got it now
I believe its caused by Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity....NCGS
SO THAT MAKES SINCE ... IT CLEARED UP WHEN YOU WERENT EATING GLUTEN
Well as I said it was a by product of wanting to get rid of inflammation and clear out adrenals. I've had it since I was 11yrs old. All over my scalp and smaller patches on my face. I'm 49 now. I went strict keto and took 250,000 iu of serrapeptase on an empty stomach each night and a swig of olive leaf extract in the morning after brush teeth and voila! It was a friend who noticed first that I wasn't scratching all the time. And I suddenly checked all over and it was all gone. I'd been so focused on my other concerns I'd just not noticed. It's been 2 years now I've been completely clear. But if I have carbs or sweets it starts to come back. The serrapetase and olive leaf I do notice keeps it not as inflamed and tolerable but it's the sugars from foods that kicks it off. So I'm pretty strict.
I stumbled upon Dr. Berry in early January of 2019 and began following him and eating ketogenicly. Since then my psoriasis and eczema have gone away and I've lost 110 lbs.
Amazing job!! Now share your story with the whole world!!

@@balazs.joo90 THANK YOU ☺️
Potato is a nightshade.
@@giantcheesegrater yes, Potato is a nightshade, but Sweet Potato is not.
@@balazs.joo90 how abt Pumpkin, bottle guard, Ridge gourd. These vegetables we get in India. So could you pls tel exactly what should be present in any vegetables or fruits? So that irrespective of country we can check whether particular substance/s(which you may tel ) is present or not and accordingly can consume.
Oil oxidizes with the air in the bottle and when poured onto a cooking surface & heated, it oxidizes within minutes. When you introduce an oxidized substance into the body, you create inflammation. Inflammation low levels of low-grade constant inflammation accumulate and it’s only a matter of time before something “breaks”. When you fry food, this process is accelerated remarkably. Oil heated in a fryolator creates a molecule in a food which is fried called acrylamide which is carcinogenic.
• This means NO SALAD DRESSING, COOKING OIL, FRIED FOOD, MAYONAISE
• Note: some health food stores carry salad dressing that is oil-free
• To cook in skillet, use lard or butter, NO CRISCO
1. Tobacco products
2. Sugar
3. Grains (All grains, not just wheat)
4. Alcohol
5. Seed Oils (they are chemically made in factories)
6. Dairy (it’s not the fat, it’s the lactose)
7. Night Shades (plants)
As far as Dairy products.....it is the Casein A1 protein in milk and cheese you need to avoid. Butter is ok. Substitute goat or sheep cheese for cow cheese.
Thank you!!!
Raw milk is good tho
Basically you can’t eat anything!
@@salma02109 I seriously want to know what is remaining to eat then?
#8 should be BLACK MOLD. I suffered with hardcore psoriasis for 6 years and tried everything my doctors could think of. I almost went insane. Then I started remodeling my bathroom and found a lot of black mold behind my shower walls. I had it all professionally removed and all my symptoms disappeared in a week. Black mold poisoning is only occasionally mentioned in psoriasis literature so even doctors tend to forget/overlook it. If nothing’s working for you, have your home tested for mold. It only takes a day and a couple hundred bucks. I hope this helps somebody.
So I have been psoriasis free for years, and I have noticed when I leave my house for a week or so I get a little bit of black mold on the inside of the toilet. This may be what is causing my psoriasis to come back after these years. Thanks for the tip.
Can support this. When I was young we had mold growing in our home. I I had these patches that itched and felt like needles constantly fucking me up. We got rid of it an poof, no more patches. Fast forward - went to the Marine Corps and my psoriasis NEVER showed its face. When I got out, started a family and got a home it came back. Took a peek behind our shower aaaaannnd you guessed it, mold. Got rid of it and poof, no more patches.. gotta be something here lol
Hello, I suffer from psoriasis, what should I do?!!!
if that is true, this is very special and the world need to know this. Could it really be that simple? And why would psoriasis attack only hands and feets? or other parts specific of the body? weird if true...
@@jessikapiche6097 black mold creates a myotoxcin that damages the liver. There’s a well-documented correlation between psoriasis and various liver conditions such as alcoholic and fatty liver disease. Mine wasn’t located only on my hands, but all over my back, scalp, and legs. This isn’t meant to be the end-all cause of a complex autoimmune condition, just one of many factors that could trigger the problem.

Thank you, that is all I want so always a help, just take me straight to the things to avoid! 😁
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks 😊
Thank you for saving my time 😁 x
I agree with all of this having had scalp psoriasis for 15 years and it’s extremely controllable with diet, especially gluten and dairy however nobody EVER talks about the emotional component of all of these conditions. Very important to address the emotional root cause as well. I find hypnosis and the tapping method has tremendously helped me in this regard as well as energy healing.
I would like to try this. I do know of energy medicine thru donna eden. What routine do u follow?
Yes, meditation and Tapping is helping me a lot
8:45 is why you are here for.
Here's the summary.
Things to avoid
1. Tobacco and products
2. Sugar and products
3. Grain (all types of grains/ gluten)
4. Alcohol
5. Seed oils (canola, soy bean, sunflower, walnut oil, peanut oil etc. Seed oils with High omega 6 to omega 3 ratio)
6. Dairy and products (lactose, inflammatory inducing dairy proteins)
7. Night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, egg plants etc)
So unfortunately you can’t do anything
What’s left to eat?? 😫

@@yousraatfi3287 You can eat pure ice😆 i think it is just wastage of time. Diet has not impact.
I remember my dad's dermatologist said that psoriasis is a chronic multifactorial skin disease with no cure. The cause is unknown to medical science. He needs to change/try different drugs until he got it right for my dad. Nothing happen after years of trials.
I learned some low carb high fat for dad's diet. We surprised the dermatologist after less than a year of dieting.
Thanks Dr Ken!
Most doctors in the US do not believe in diet :/ that’s shame
Do you know if your father ever had anything like Strep Throat before?
I recently read a compendium of statements on WebMD about dozens of diseases, and every single one said 'doctors don't know what causes xxxxx, but this or that pharmaceutical can help relieve the symptoms of xxxxx." Pharma took over medicine decades ago [they actually started the AMA simply to trick doctors to prescribe their useless & DANGEROUS products.] It's one of the biggest scams running on the planet!
@@alabama.worley most folks have had strep at least a few times
I’ve been telling my husband all of this for YEARS!! Thank you…..cause now there is someone else telling him the same thing!
My dear husband had terrible psoriasis, all of his life, he was hospitalized, he had special baths, soaps, ointment ,heat/ sun treatments. He smoked and also drank beer. Then he got terminal lung cancer, and his psoriasis disappeared. Nothing on his body... now I realise that he gave up smoking and drinking beer when he was so ill. This makes perfect sense. We had read about some of these " triggers" , but he wouldn't/ couldn't give them up until he was so ill. I was totally convinced that his cancer, and this immune system were linked in some manner.
My gramps had the same, altho his psoriasis went away after chemo. So it might be that. Did some google search, turns out there are some sort of chemo therapy for psoriasis, but I'm guessing it's not cheap, nor easily available for us peasants :/
@@cookiecookson9648it’s called methotrexate. It’s relatively inexpensive. Look into Taltz. It’s a biologic. Pamphlet says cost is around $25 a month or so.
My uncle would, drink, smoke and was diabetic eating donuts and cake alot to stress eat, his psoriasis was horrible.
Lucky he got cancer and the cancer saved him because it forced him to eat healthy & exercise with better sleep. Fixed pretty much everything even the cancer got fixed with treatment.
Unfortunately he passed away because after getting cured he went back to his habbits and got in a worse situation that finally was too much.
@cookiecookson9648 absolutely the chemo...my psoriasis was so bad 4 years ago that they suggested that chemotherapy was the next step for treatment. It's an autoimmune disease like cancer, so is treated with aggressive medication if necessary. Mine went away shortly after attempting suicide....the only changes I made were no alcohol and consumed nothing but chicken and vegetables. I had 85%+ body coverage and went to zero....4 years later, I began to consume alcohol, sugar, gluten and carbs...now I have 30% coverage of psoriasis. I've recently cut out alcohol sugar, and gluten ...and it's reducing by the day

Doc Ken said to use butter, but not dairy. How does that work?
I don't smoke or drink alcohol, I only use butter, coconut oil or bacon fat (with eggs only); everything else is my entire diet! My cholesterol is 233, blood sugar is high normal (after a 13-hr fast). Wouldn't all that meat and eggs make cholesterol higher? I need fruit or prune juice to avoid constipation (I don't eat cheese or peanut butter which really constipate me). What can I live on besides the 2-3 quarts of water I drink daily!?! I can't eat very much (never could), so I really have nothing to live for (I'm not suicidal, but it would help if I was! Please help!
I’m so happy to hear a doctor say that psoriasis is not a skin problem! I’m one of those people who have expensive steroid creams and topicals in my bathroom which has not helped. It’s a gut issue!
Yep... Immune system and gut health..I reckon leaky gut. Have to use a combination of stuff for internal and external to help.

Now my dad has it bad he has it bad he drinks 2 large glasses milk and wheat toast with peanut butter and honey every day and a of wheat bran Graham cereal with more milk and bananas so he is making his condition worse?
He won't quit smoking or slow down
I smoke some
Tell it to your doctor!
OMG yes my psoriasis started on my face , I thought it wss a pimple until ir got worse . I didnt want to go outside at all . Summer of last year I was out here wearing sweaters bc it got bad on my arms and legs
I have had various outbreaks of psoriasis all my life, and for the last 15 years only mild outbreaks with one spot on my knee that NEVER went away. Since being on keto the last year all the psoriasis has disappeared and not returned. AMAZING!!
Tq for sharing l have same problem will try it
As much as food could be one issue, the other issues are stress, lack of vitamins in the body, lack of exercise, etc.
Could I ask what your diet is please x
Weight gain triggers mine alot
I exercise every day walk 6 miles
Have a good diet and don't eat sugar.mine only came when I started having acupuncture.
@@kayday2115 wow, so you only got flair up after starting acupuncture
Those exact things trigger mine.....I have young kids and the lack of sleep which translates to stress triggers it. Also I love the gym and not getting has also caused me to gain weight which is contributing
I don’t have psoriasis but THIS information feels like it will also help or possibly eliminate IBS or gut issues as well. Thanks 🙏🏽 🌞
I have had psoriasis for a long time and I have visited many doctors, the ointments are expensive but I don't think my psoriasis has gone away, and doctors generally don't recommend dieting After finding your video I am very happy and grateful and I will start a carnivore diet so that I can get rid of the rash which is very annoying
Going carnivore over 4 years ago knocked my psoriasis down but not completely out. After summer was over and my exposure to sunlight went down to virtually nil until the following spring was the worst time. This was a yearly cycle I noticed improvement this past fall when I notched up my vitamin D intake to keep my immune system up for cold and flu season. The “duh” light went on over my head - vitamin D deficiency !!! I did a bit of research and it turns out most people are severely vitamin D deficient. I went up ton10,000 IU a day and have seen incredible improvement in my skin. Look into it …
It’s a fat soluble vitamin you need animal fats to help. Tallow, Butter, lard etc all high in Vit D
Client of mine with serious psoriasis stumbled on some actual research on Vit D. He tried it himself and I watched his visible patched disappear over 5 or 8 weeks, iirc. I should try it myself. After I completely comply with Dr. Ken's list here.
I was on vacation overseas and avoided dairy like the plague for 4 weeks and my psoriasis cleared up better than any medication or cream I've ever been on. Food journaling has also revealed problems with nightshade vegetables for me and my psoriatic arthritis. Red meat has been horrible for my digestion, with grains, even the "healthy" ones not far behind. I highly recommend food journaling along with symptom journaling. It's the kind of thing you have to see to believe sometimes.
How are you doing now? Is your psoriatic arthritis very painful ? How it's affecting your life?
It's not the read meat that's the issue, it's that your body is screwed up and you cant handle the most easily digestible food on the planet. I eat 3 pounds of meat a day and Ive never felt better
Thanks Doc for trying. You probably have a point or few to make . In my opinion: There are simply too many variables in a diet that cannot be controlled to pin down to the ones you mentioned as probable causes. I had Psoriasis from age 45 to around 60. Used Salicylic products by the kilogram. Mysteriously disappeared even after I stopped medication. Never smoked and limited alcohol to wine and beer. But changed my lifestyle to active, attending gym, weight lifting (and still do at the age of 70) and cutting back on alcohol, grains, seed oil and sugar almost 99% and avoiding highly processed foods. And psoriasis is history.
What is seed oil
@@sherlyrajan1235 Canola, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil.... He tells that in the video.
The topical steroid. Helped some small spots get better but made 4 spots get worse
My doctor prescribed a 3rd. It does nothing
The gold bond helps with the itching
Doctor said eat more fruits and vegatables and put valseline on it
Which I have not tried and wash 3x a day sounds excessive I don't think washing 3x a day would help
I use pine tar soap
But going back to other black kind
Ivory soap dry skin out
Tell me exactly what you did
Thanks
Thank you Dr Berry, I’m trying to help my husband with this he has it on both legs and now he’s been complaining about his joints hurting allot more. Unfortunately he does consume pretty much everything on that list… he loves his sweets and I even brought up the other day that maybe the amount of sugar he eats could most likely be hurting him. 🙏🙏🙏 Prayers for him and others who have this condition because I definitely see how uncomfortable this condition is.

Sorry folks what do you all recommend? I'm already eating very little because of severe nausea. I have liver failure, I've never drank in my life but I had gallbladder surgery 32 years ago and they scattered stones into the ducts of my liver and pancreas. They never told me I was basically a Guinea pig, and the 1st in Northern Ireland to have keyhole surgery and the consultant was teaching doctors from England. I was only home 2 days when I collapsed, I woke up 6 days later in ICU. I've had several attacks of acute pancreatitis and biliary sepsis where my bile duct blocks and its a very long recovery. Have any of you had biological treatments? Many thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪 💚☘️
@@joanmcnulty2221 baking soda (aka: sodium bicarbonate) is great for nausea among other things -teaspoon in a 1/2 glass of distilled water (ask ur doc)
No sugar. No alcohol. No grains. No canola oil which means no restaurant fried foods. No dairy. No nightshades (potatoes, peppers, tomatoes). So I can have clear skin but lose all flavor and enjoyment in eating, or enjoy the food I love and look like one of the undead from a D&D book cover. Great job, evolution.

Now I'm living on a small island (atoll) and my diet was totally different from before. Now my skin was totally clear..no more flare ups. But during the Summer, I always visited the main island and that's when my diet changed again then the psoriasis came back. Thanks for sharing..
Thank you so much for this. My husband suffers from psoriasis, but my daughter is covered head to toe with it. She has had it since she was 2 years old. We improved it greatly a few years back when we went keto, but over the years we have slipped back into the bad habits. I am trying my best to heal our family inside out. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Please do boost your diet with zinc...I suffer eczema...which is not far from psoriasis since they are having both allergic rxnz.
The inflammations are due to lack of zinc, and zinc in the diet at good levels, has good antiinflammatory properties.
Supplement your diet with pumpkin seeds...it's dense in zinc.
Also, ensure u get a diet rich in omega three...foods like Nile perch fish, crabs, oysters and salmon will boost ur omega three levels, which boost skin healing process from inflammation.
Another thing, the gut requires good level of lactobacillus bacteria to function well.
Ensure you incorporate a supplement of this bacteria.
Speaking to you, am seriously incorporating high zinc food in my system and omega three and I am improving.
Also, if you see improvement after one month...you can get back to normal and completely have your psoriasis cured, as long as u boost mineral supplement as zinc, omega three in the diet

I am 66 and developed Psoriasis in my early 20's at 1 stage in hospital for 10 days, being covered in potions and having UV treatment, I had 75% body coverage. The thing that reduced my Psoriasis to a massive degree was Lecithin granules, 3 teaspoons a day, plus a change in diet, I still have some patches, 1 on my leg and on my scalp. I do have to add that I believe stress does play a part also, and that a trauma in my life at 23 caused it to erupt.
Also trauma at 23 for me wow
When you give up all those sugary foods like bread,potatoes,and pasta and start reading labels and limit your carb intake...Amazing things happen!!😊 Food is medicine it can work for you or against you!!

@@lindaperry9950 thanks ss much what can we eat pls
There are generally two ways of getting rid of psoriasis which I tried and worked. One is the Keto diet (High fat, moderate protein, and very low carb) and the other one is the intermittent fasting (16, 18, OMAD daily or 36+ hour fast once a week) with little bit of the forbidden things e.g. Some grains, Some dairy (Full fat milk or Yogurt, Goat milk rather that Cow milk) etc. Honestly I found that it is very hard to maintain strict Keto long term, due to the obligations of our social life, but I found intermittent fasting comparatively easy to maintain long term. Whenever I have to eat something (Friend's home or office) that may trigger my psoriasis, I simply stop eating and only drink water after that for at least 18 hours to help my body cope with it. This way I can maintain my social life and also manage my psoriasis.
May I ask after how long of Keto / IF you have seen the effect of your symptoms?
Dairy and meat if u can't process
I do intermittent fasting and do keto on the weekdays but allow myself a little bit of pasta and fries on the weekends and a couple beers. I haven't gotten rid of my psoriasis 100% but about 90% and I'm okay with that. I will not be giving up potatoes, tomatoes, peppers or beer. Might as well just die. lol
Hey...can u pls explain in detail...what did u eat exactly to get rid of psoriasis and how much time it took to clear up? Pls reply
“Obligations” to eat crap that hurts you ??? 👌
😊 I naturally cleared my lifelong (40 years) psoriasis over ten years ago now, and have been maintaining 100% clearance pretty much ever since. I did it with diet, supplements and stress management.......I used pharmaceuticals for 40 years and either they didn't work, or they made me worse. Edit: Mine is hereditary.

I got rid of my psoriasis going keto, stop drinking and completely removing soy from the diet. No medication for over a year now, no symptoms. I remember, when I was a kid, hearing from the doctor that it doesn't have a cure, I just have to deal with the symptoms with medication (usually creams with corticoid hormones added).
But how....plzzz help me...sm prblmm????
@@kppurohit9537 I explained it in the comment. Start a keto diet, don't drink alcohol, and be sure to remove any grains and food made from grains even if it's low carb (like soybean oil). Also sunbathing everyday helps. And just to be sure, eat some fatty fish at least once a week for the omega 3 to help lower inflammation. It takes some time to really feel the difference. For me it took a couple of months. Just be patient and consistent with the diet. Dr Berry has a lot of good videos explaining how to do a keto diet properly.
Good luck. I hope it works for you.
Hy
This is so very interesting - thank you Dr. When my son was in elementary school, he had difficulty sitting still and we tried a course of Ritalin with terrible side effects. We then took him to a pediatrician who was also a clinical ecologist and allergy specialist. We learned that our son was terribly allergic to corn, sugar, wheat and some other foods that I don't really remember. We followed a strict diet, but relatives thought it was hogwash. They actually proved that the diet worked, because son was horrible after being fed garbage. As a teenager, the diet went by the wayside and psoriasis appeared with a vengeance. He now has psoriatic arthritis and takes biologics when it gets too terrible. I am going to ask him to watch your videos. He can start by eliminating corn and grains, which were a problem before.
As someone suffering this disease I’m sure he will take this advice in a heart beat
I have had psoriasis since I was 14 years old and so far I have visited many doctors and their recommendations were different which made me confused about this disease.
@ Carole Anne By chance was your son born by C-section? I read years ago, then was confirmed by my functional medicine Dr., that babies who aren't born vaginally have more allergies and autoimmune issues because they do not get the microbes and flora via the mothers birth canal that helps protect the child to keep them healthy and fight disease... It makes complete sense to me!
Ritalin is a amphetamine. A drug
I quit eating corn decades ago when a friend raised a steer for food and they fattened it up before slaughter by feeding it corn!
Best video ever Dr. Berry. I am having a super bad problem and I know what you address in this video is going to help me tremendously. Thank you so much for this video and taking the time to help us sort this problem out! I had made an appointment with a specialist and will cancel my appointment!!

I think I must share my experience . I agree about the gut health being the priority and of utmost concern when it comes to abnormal immune response but the biggest thing I've learnt from my experience is one rule doesn't apply to all. We have to figure the food out ourselves, what benefits our gut health and what ruins it . I'm completely okay with dairy and grains but meat is tough for me to digest and makes me feel extremely bloated after meals . So my point is that one rule doesn't apply to all , everyone's body is different . Also , it's worth finding out about from the older generations in your family about their diet and lifestyle even though the food that they ate was completely different and definitely cleaner . But still worth finding out
I hated most meat my whole life until a few years ago I started eating it everyday. Now I crave it and better news, my stomach aches and other things that went with my autoimmune issues have gone down about 90%🎉
if you are bloaded after eating its not meat its all the rest... Iam sorry to say but listen to dr berry AND zsofia clemens... on PKD diet...
A couple of years ago I had some itchy, red places show up over my eyelids and neck. These spots would be activated by sweating. Just drove me crazy! Keto has caused these places to go away. Yaaaay! Thank you Dr. Berry! Your information is changing lives. ❤️

I did not stop eating everything that he's talking about because I was already underweight and eliminating most of these from my diet would be really bad for my ed but eliminating gluten, diary and sugar really made a difference. I also switched to green tea from coffee and that was a big help too. Please don't eliminate everything from your diet even though it might help with psoriasis it can lead to other problems. Instead of completely removing rice from your diet switch to brown rice for example.

I stopped coffee when my nespresso died on me one morning a few years ago. Had to go to work and had a few difficult days but felt less tired in general after that. That's when I looked up info on it and realized how addictive coffee is and how it affects your sleep (you basically wake up due to mild daily withdrawals). I drink chicory now (the pure and uncaffinated kind, only a couple grams of carbs per cup).
My psoriasis started at age 13 after a severe strep infection. I was lean and athletic and have battled it ever since. I believe it is contaminated grains that are the culprit now. Most grains sprayed with glyphosate at harvest time. Roundup is most likely in much of our food supply. Grains have always biblically been an integral component of diets all over the world and without them billions would have perished. Infections can also trigger psoriasis, especially strep infections.
Joseph Davis My younger 14 year old brother had a similar issue. He had a really bad cough for weeks and then the psoriasis appeared on his face. It was misdiagnosed as ringworm for months too. The cream they gave him made the scar on his face much worse. Really heart breaking as 7 months later his body is covered with it, and he STILL hasn’t been officially diagnosed, but I’m determined to help him keep it at bay through diet. It’s though as he’s only 14 and knows nothing about nutrition, but we will succeed eventually.

I think we have all the knowledge in our own selves to clear our psoriasis. The body is a natural self-regulating vehicle. If we’re in constant state of agitation, we can’t listen to our thoughts and needs to organize our lives in a way for health. So most people are on a negative health train when they should be conscious and nourishing themselves.

Look into the Autoimmune Protocol. It is a diet specifically designed for autoimmunity and eliminates a lot of different foods with the intent of reintroducing most them little by little after your gut has healed in order to figure out which specific foods cause the flares
Fruit is pure sugar, especially fruit juices, high carb veg are also converted to sugar, green leafy veg is OK. Dr Berry has many videos on it, good luck! 😊

I was on this "diet" for about 30 years and all it did was control it. I could never get it to "go away"I did not want any medications. But I had a bad flair up about 6 years ago and finally went to a dermatologist and he prescribed enbril. It was like a miracle, these so called diets don't work for everyone. But even my dermatologist said to cut out alcohol, and smoking, I asked him about diet, he said diet has nothing to do with it. But if you can find relief with just diet then go for it. But like I said, diet does not work for everyone.
Enbrel Injection??
I would get a new doctor if he said "diet has nothing to do with it". That's just ridiculous.
@@MarvelousMarvinB No he's right. For some people there is a limit to what diet can do. It is not caused by diet, so diet might help only a little for some people. There are many different causes of psoriasis.
@@gregfraser2763 I stand corrected.
Well you're diet doesn't help much if it evolves tobacco and alcohol, which are the worse
I went on the Keto diet for 5 months and unfortunately, I'm sad to say it didn't change my psoriasis. No sugar, carbs, gluten or dairy and 18:6 intermittent fasting every day. I'm going to try it again and hopefully have some better results this time.
eat only Free range grass fed meats and chickens and eggs, everything clean .Take digestive enzymes with every meal and L glutamine with meals and probiotics. need to heal your gut lining, Your liver needs help too . Get a liver tonic from a homeopath . If your liver is toxic and fatty you wont clear up .
@@sandyseale1 the fatty liver will heal by the keto n IF
Just takes long time
6 mos to heal liver than functioning liver can start healing the body/psoriasis
Take vitamin D. Dr. Berg has a video on this.
I've learned an incredible amount of information by watching about a dozen of Kens videos tonight on a variety of topics. I haven't learned this much in a cumulation of years, but I did, in few hours time now.
@@DL-ep5uk I find myself watching his videos about half the time too.
Dr. Berry God bless you. You save lives!
Thank you for saying that the immune system is confused rather than the body is attacking itself!
You are talking about my husband! I got him a book on how to cure psoriasis by John Pagano years ago. Basically said what you've said. My husband is now on biologics for it and it worries me those meds will take a serious toll on him. He doesn't see no sugar is the answer.
Pagano is the total opposite of keto. He recommends lower fat, vegetarian/low meat. This is why I find it all so confusing.
@@alyssashowers8014 exactly
A friend’s 30-something son had chronic psoriasis...after extensive testing they diagnosed him as celiac. Get rid of gluten, get rid of psoriasis!
Both diseases are different basically !!
Can be that simple if your lucky. It took me months to find my answer. Went Carnivore and still needed to add a supplement to finish it entirely.
@@SteveHonakerII Out of curiosity, what supplement did you add?
@@shanner4130 Ancestral Supplements Grassfed Beef Organs.
That's what my friend just told me.
Thank you for your help...I have a good friend who is a Doctor...and she has helped me with similar information...sin glutin foods and milk sin lactose...had helped greatly...thank againxxx
I have had Psoriasis for over 23 years, it in my case is not genetic but it showed up after a very stressful time in my life. I don't smoke or drink but carbs is the problem in my case. What makes my Psoriasis disappear is a Carnivore diet, it takes a couple of months of clean eating for this to completely work. I never gave up cheese or peppers but the fewer carbs I eat the better it is. About all I have left at this point is the scars...

@@BobbyDazzler888 I have taken it
Congratulations. I hope my daughter views this and reads this comment.
Killing animals is much worse than having psoriasis surely :(
I never had psoriasis until I got married. Instant stress. But I'm single don't drink still got it.
A friend started taking vitamin D and it went away after having it for years! She always wondered why it was better on holidays in the sun..it now makes sense!
How much Vitamin D did your friend take?
@@brennaward7058 I always found sunlight made a big difference too, I know that's not always suitable, just thought I'd share something I learned recently, mushrooms are a great source for vitamin D, we can actually place them in sunlight shortly before eating and it greatly increases the vitamin d content 🙏
Thanks so much for this, Dr. Berry. I'm a carnivore and have been for almost 15 months, but it always helps me to be reminded of all the reasons I'm doing this. I had psoriatic arthritis before starting lowcarb/keto, then zero carb. Thanks again! :)
Tee dee you did you do?
Hi Day 702 Carnivore, still have Psoriasis but only on legs/mostly...bit frustrating. I do have APO E2 heterozygous gene though. Thanks for sharing.
@@desireefielder626what do you/did you eat on carnivore? It seems like many eat bad meat, eggs and dairy on carnivore. Seems like people that do the lion diet(grass fed beef, salt and water) almost always heal. Very curious about your journey..
Hi iv had psoriasis for 66 years ,had it terrible,never went away .Last year I started on biologics infections an it’s all gone ,I can’t begin to tell anyone how I feel ,it’s a miracle,I can wear cloths I couldn’t dream of wearing I’m truly grateful the dr Harper uk ❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏🙏
I really like your calmness and how you don’t behave extreme about this stuff. Sometimes your videos are a little too long but I welcome the opportunity to learn. A big thank you.
Ken, I agree 100% with you! I had psoriasis and it all went away when I did the carnivore diet. I did it for a solid 6 months, only meat and water. Olive and coconut oil and mostly BBQ meat. I stuck to the protein and it did wonders for me. During the lockdown, I have started to use some wheat and grain product, and immediately I could see the inflammation flaring up. I started to itch at the places where I previously had the psoriasis spots.
Sorry to ask a personal question, but did all that meat cause you to be constipated?
@@jeanetteh.9240 it would make sense for it to at the beginning but then your body gets used to the lack of fiber
Did you drink coffee on your carnivore diet? Did you have psoriatic arthritis?
If you took a candida diet and a daily intake of vitamin d3 it would have healed you faster, in about 1 month and a half.
Some say the carnivore diet cured them because meat has high doses of vitamin d, animals spend most of their time outdoors hence why they are filled with vitamin d and because of it they are also heavy in metals and yeast cannot survive in an acidic environment, but it is not healthy for the body, especially for the heart. Psoriasis is not due to overweight, it is due to an over population of yeast.
Every person who has psoriasis has intestinal issues, and this is due to too much yeast in the gut.
Psoriasis is a fungi, it is yeast overgrowth thats what it is. The yeast overgrowth eventually weakens the thyroid and therefore other organs become weakened. So by getting into a candida diet and eliminating sugar and starchy foods the yeast cannot survive.
For severe cases a high dosage of vitamin d3 will cure them but it can be dangerous, eventually developing hypercalcemia and deregulate the hormone balance in the long run, thats why it is prescribed to older population but if you are young getting a healthy diet will cure you naturally
I experience now psoriasis al my body especially in my scalp it disturbing me so much help me to be cure I buy to much lotion and cream from my doctor till now not finish my problem especially in my scalp. I think I need to shave my hair. Hoping for your advice thanks
I have proven this to be true!!! I am pretty much free of my lifetime of psoriasis and eczema these days. I am so happy!!! 😃
Nudist colony bound?
I'd suffered with widespread Psoriasis Vulgaris for 40 years. Last year I stumbled upon research on B12/B6/Folic Acid around the time I had just began Keto - three months later I was 99% clear (and 3st lighter!) from either the supplements or in combination of low carbs. I hope this can help someone else. I am not a medical practitioner, do not take this as medical advice and do your own research - everyone is different.
Thank you so much
I appreciate your help
You’re 100% right. I try to avoid most of the things mentioned in the video. But I also eliminated Beef from my diet and my psoriasis significantly decreased
Dr Berry...why does the immune system pick different things to be confused about? Why skin in some people, joints in some people, myelin sheath in some people etc? Does anyone know why it manifests in different ways (aside from the genetic predisposition) ? Could you possibly explain it in a video or a blog post?
Epigenetics
Weaker parts which are prone to toxins
Use of antibiotics open door for havoc afterwards.
Steroid use, kills liver and causes chain reaction in gut. Use lard and tons of healthy fat to restore yourself.
This doctor is a Angel I follow him all the time and he give us good advice may bless is heart
Thank you so much because none of the creams seem to work and I will show this to my dermatologist and my family who have all gave me things and sent me places and nothing seems to work I'm definitely going to try this
I used to get psoriasis over my entire body. I had eczema on my fingertips from age 4 to around age 12. I then developed psoriasis to the extent that hospitalization was suggested. My mother had a panel of UV light made instead. At 19, a dermatologist told me I'd probably develop psoriatic arthritis and I promptly obliged. One in patient stay (weeks) and a few years later, Columbia Presbyterian offered an out patient program. I'd had some decent periods of remission and even what I'd call spontaneous remission. At 17, I hitchhiked cross country and by the time I got to CA, No psoriasis. Rock bottom at 22 when my sister taught me visualization. One month and I was in remission. I had a mild recurrence at 29, then nothing for 30 years. My skin was amazing enough for people to comment on it. People who had no idea I'd ever had psoriasis. At 59, I'm processing some intense emotional stuff regarding my mother. I find it interesting that the only way she paid any attention to me was if I had skin issues...I learned about nightshade plants many years ago and I attributed the eczema to dairy (my kids never had cow's milk) and I know my body does not like grains. Basically, I have employed these wonderful suggestions (with the exception of dirty martinis when out!) for years. I strongly believe there's an emotional component here and I'm suggesting all of the above plus meditation. This Doctor is exactly who I'd have been so grateful to know all those years ago!!
That’s a great comeback- knowledge is power ☝️ to change!!
Stress can exasperate it for sure. I have found the diet changes and intermediate fasting has helped mine. I don’t eat wheat, dairy and sugar.
Two other things that help tremendously for me, is exposing my psoriasis to the sun and seawater. I do them together so if one is doing more of the work, I don't know. They're usually gone within 2-3 days..that fast! Thank you Dr. Berry for all of the additional information. I'll try the other things too since I don't get to the ocean that often.
Yes!! The sun and ocean heal. Saltwater heals everything. Think about it...tears, sweat and the ocean - all healing properties.

I'm at the sea, too..Everyday taking sunrays and staying in the saltwater, but it doesn't help me so much. So I have to begin keto ...
@@Luckyluck558ck ur Vit D level then
The 3 things that work the most effectively for psoriasis is:
1. Keto Diet (Easiest, cheapest and most effective in my experience)
2. Melanotan2 (Another VERY effective treatment. I can even eat sugary foods and take MT2 and still get rid of all the psoriasis)
3. Lots of water (Optional, but imo very important part of keeping your skin smooth and clear instead of rough and dry)
Hopefully this will help someone out.
Thank you,Im new to having psoriasis,and I've been looking for help
Where can i get the keto diet
