Where does it come from?
My dear dad has psoriasis. He wears long sleeve shirts in the summer because the breakouts look... nasty. He had to get a brush cut and give up his wavy, black haired, fierce Beethoven look, just so he could apply psoriasis medicated cream to the top of his itchy head. As I thought about it, I wondered if there was a natural way to deal with this itchy skin problem. I began to do a little research.
Dad's case is pretty mild compared to many of the pictures I reviewed. And still I know that he is always uncomfortable, hoping no one notices that he is always reaching to itch his head or arms.
I found information showing psoriasis lesions could be cleared up in as little as two months! The before and after pictures were astounding. Here is what I learned.
Psoriasis comes from inside the body. It is not caught from others. So we should ask, what are we putting into our bodies that is causing it. Indeed, psoriasis comes from eating the wrong foods. These foods cause toxins in the blood stream, and when the intestinal tract can no longer eliminate the amount of toxins in the blood, the skin is called upon to help as well. Toxins eliminated through the skin are the psoriasis lesions.
Five things to stay away from
#1. No Nightshades
Tomatoes and tomato products, sauces, ketchup
Peppers
Eggplant
Paprika
White Potatoes
Tobacco
#2. No Red Meat, and processed meats,
You may eat fish, (not shellfish) chicken and turkey, wild game and lamb.
#3. No Sweets and carbohydrates
No white sugar, white flour, fruit juices and citrus fruits.
You may have other fruits in moderation, 1 or two a day.
#4. No Alcohol, including beer
#5. No fried foods
What you may eat
80% should be green, leafy vegetables, lettuce, celery, spinach, kale, whatever is green and leafy.
20% can be chicken, turkey, fish, wild game and lamb.
Make tea from Slippery Elm Bark and also American Yellow Saffron that heal the gut.
Drink water and teas, 6 glasses a day.
Other help
Chiropractic adjustments to the 6th and 7th vertebrae activates the immune system, and helps the body to heal itself, including the intestines and the skin.
More about Dad
Do I think he can give up his beloved tomato sauces, peppers and beer? The jury is still out on that one. So I put it into a blunt, straight forward question that will hopefully help motivate him, and maybe even you, to make the right decision.
Question
How badly do you want to be free from the horrible itching of psoriasis? The ugly skin eruptions? The discomfort, the embarrassment?
Now you know how to get rid of it. The rest is up to you.

Cure for Psoriasis
By Paul H Young
What follows is the true story of how I cured my psoriasis by using a simple, well-known nutritional supplement.
I was diagnosed with psoriasis about five years ago. It was plaque psoriasis, and all references in this article to psoriasis apply only to plaque psoriasis. In my case, it manifested itself in thick, scaly, inflamed patches of skin. It was all over both hands, arms and elbows. It was on my legs, in misshapen fingernails and toenails and on my face and genitals. I have seen photographs of people with severe psoriasis that covers most of their body. That was not me. Mine was a serious, but moderate case of psoriasis. But it was real. And it was a nightmarish experience - not only the disease itself, but the whole idea of being the victim of something whose origins are unknown and from which there is no escape.
During the five years or more that I had active psoriasis, I tried some of the topical treatments - including steroids and coal tar. But steroids over long term have undesirable metabolic effects, and coal tar stinks you, your clothing and everything around you. I stopped using both. I tried phototherapy, but after months of going twice a week and standing in a UVB light booth, there was no change. I decided not to try any of the biologics or systemics, as I do not like to put inside me drugs that can cause additional problems. I just decided to manage my psoriasis the best way I could.
But I continued to search the internet looking for other answers. I found nothing. Then I came across a nutritional supplement called N- Glucosamine; its full name is N-acetyl glucosamine, GlcNac, shortened to NAG. This is not regular glucosamine, but a relative. It is a sugar molecule, a derivative of glucose, and is useful in some autoimmune conditions. Multiple sclerosis, for instance, is an autoimmune disease, and in at least one scientific study, N-Glucosamine was shown to suppress multiple sclerosis attacks.
Since psoriasis is believed to be an autoimmune disease, I decided to try and find out what else N-Glucosamine might be able to do, and on one of my searches, I discovered that some unknown company had filed for a patent on the use of N-Glucosamine to treat psoriasis. Lightbulb. Whoever got to the point of filing a patent for this must have observed results that were positive, I reasoned. They must have known that N-Glucosamine could be a treatment for psoriasis, so I decided to try it. It was entirely an act of faith on my part, as I had no knowledge of what would happen. I was the lab rat.
There are numerous brands of N-Glucosamine on the market. I chose one made by Jarrow, a respected nutritional supplements company with its roots in science. Nothing happened for about two months, but somewhere in the third month, I started to see changes: Patches of psoriasis on my hands and elbows, began to disappear. Over the next month or six weeks, more and more lesions disappeared, until by somewhere around four months from the time I started, they literally all were gone. My fingernails that had been distorted, grew in normally, and the skin lesions on both sides of my hands, on my arms and elbows and on my legs all were gone.
It was like a miracle.
Truly, it was something that had to be seen to be believed. I am not prescribing N-Glucosamine or offering advice about it or endorsing it. I am simply telling you what happened to me.

4 Wrinkle Busting Foods - Look Younger For Longer
By Emilia Manda
Poor skin condition and inadequate nutrition can lead to premature aging of the skin, causing fine lines, wrinkles and grooves in the skin. While a good skin care routine and healthy diet form the foundation of younger-looking skin, there are several foods that contain properties to improve the condition of your skin. Here are 4 wrinkle-busting foods to keep you looking younger for longer.
Salmon
Salmon is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to promote youthful skin, collagen production and healthy cells. Salmon also provides the body with high-quality protein, the foundation for optimum skin condition. Eating salmon twice a week provides your body with enough omega-3 fatty acids to improve the look and feel of your skin. Tuna, mackerel, sardines and other oily fish also contain high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids.
Blueberries
Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that help to repair damaged skin and create new cells. Antioxidants combat damage caused by harmful free radicals in the body. Free radicals are formed throughout the course of normal daily life, but environmental pollutants, cigarette smoke, some foods, alcohol and even stress can increase the production of free radicals. These free radicals damage skin cells, leading to premature aging of the skin, including fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. Eating a handful of blueberries a day helps to combat cell damage. Other berries, such as strawberries, raspberries and blackberries also contain high amounts of antioxidants.
Cocoa
Cocoa is high in antioxidants and powerful flavonoids that help to protect the skin against sun damage, exposure to environmental pollutants and collagen damage. The high levels of flavonoids also helps to increase circulation to skin cells, improving the texture and appearance of your skin. Drinking a mug of cocoa every day is a delicious way to improve blood flow to the skin cells and leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.
Avocado
Avocado contains significant amounts of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant used in many skin care products. Vitamin E moisturizes and softens skin, while also helping to increase collagen production and skin cell renewal. Vitamin E can also help to treat common skin complaints, such as psoriasis, eczema and chronically dry skin. Adding avocado to salads, dips and other dishes is an excellent way to boost your vitamin E intake and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
A balanced diet is essential for healthy skin, as well as a healthy body and mind. Food can have a big impact on skin condition, particularly in later life. Adding skin-friendly foods to your regular diet is a simple way to improve the look and feel of your skin.
