One Mans mission and success - No Cure - But "Control" and "Health" Success
INTRO
THE GREASE TIME
Many years I spent endless time trying to understand which factors in my life contributed to the triggering outburst. I read various books, attended various clinics, Derms, Homeopaths, chinese specialists, sub-continental docs, dead sea treatment, turkish fish-chew treatment, acupuncture and coffee beedery treatment, contacted various charity groups, attended psoriasis seminars in London and Manchester, and pretty much tried everything out there, from steroid creams, UVB treatments, PUVA, etc etc etc...it came to a stage where the docs began to demonstrate the use of oral meds, these were hard hittin effectively strong drugs which could have helped but came with side effects and long term repercussions, like kidney damage, etc. Truth is I was at a stage in my life when I was already sick of Steroid creams and all other conventional treatments which don't actually cure the problem, but allow some level of control. What I found was each time i used such treatments, the consistent use of such treatments, from one strength to the next, would eventually lead me to taking stronger and more effective med's and ultimately it doesn't stop there, the more u use it, the harder the body craves for it. Had i stopped using such ointments for a small period of time, the condition worsened. I HAD ENOUGH!!
TIME FOR CHANGE
With all my research in mind and all the variation of advice, recommendation, precautions, etc etc I picked up on the way, i eventually decided enough is enough, i stopped using conventional treatments all-together. In 2003, my condition worsened in ways unimaginable, the psoriasis developed, covering 50-60% of my body, it even managed to make its mark on my face, on the chin, around and back of the ears and to the side of my nose. I was only using moisturizers like double base and liquid soft paraffin in white paraffin. Though this practice did not offer a solution, but allowed some level of comfort.
TIME FOR CHANGE WITH REFLECTION
Through out my research and querying with other sufferers, I learnt of many alternatives, some i tried but they failed and eventually I ignorantly gave up, sometimes within 2 weeks in the course of treatment (like the Chinese tea - yuck). Also during such observations, like we all do, we from various professionals and individuals who share our problems, we hear so much supposedly tangible advice, do this, don't do that, eat this, don't eat that, try this, don't try that, this is good, that is bad, blah blah blah. Though I never took everything on board but I managed to jot things down which did make sense or methods which had been tried by others and worked for them.
I took up the notion "For every disease, seldom does nature not provide the cure, it's only a matter of time".
With this in mind, as crazy and rebellious I can be, knowing the natural sunlight had it's natural treatment, i fled off to Spain for a year. With everything I had gathered through my experiences i began to make drastic changes to my life, everything had to change, the diet, sleeping pattern, activeness, detox consistency, etc etc etc. In fact it is was so simple...just changing the habits took a little time getting used to.
THE SIMPLE CHANGE
Slap me on the head if u want to, but i don't know what really happened nor do i understand the dynamics which surround the changes i had initiated in my life. Without the application of conventional meds and my trip to Spain I already saw some changes thanks to the heat which I believe is an important assist.
Now some of you may believe this is a load of bollocks (crap), and you are 100% entitled to your opinions since maybe not of all us utilize the same experiences and success by way of change. Hence why i call this article "one mans mission and success". The following might leave you guys laughing your heads off but I know many people who have adopted similar patterns with natural treatments and have seen great success in controlling their condition or minimizing its surfacing to something more easier to handle. But me personally I made it a religious demand to do the following:
SAY NO TO:
Conventional treatments
Cheese
Fried Food
Fizzy or other drinks
Alcohol
Drugs
Conventional lotions or branded toiletries (paco rabano aftershave is my exception)
Fast food
Spicy food
Masala food
Egg Yolk
Nuts
Chocolates
Crisps
Ice creams
Sweets
Ok some will think he's gone mad. Others may assume well i eat some of that stuff and it's never affected me - My answer - Fair Play! I personally strictly never touch the above!!
THE DO'S
Use low concentrated soap
Drink 3-4 litres of bottled water a day
Fruit and Veggies, include this in your daily diet, good portions too
Consume less meat, when you do, only grilled, boiled, etc with no artificial flavoring
Sweat it out - Exercise, go for a job, join the gym, go for a walk, walk the dog lol
Daily Sleep early, wake up 5am, go for a jog (It is said the morning atmosphere has something extracted from the greeneries of plantations which helps the health of the body - I dont understand it but i follow)
Be active, join social entertainment groups/clubs, don't be a home sitting grieving duck
Don't shower or sit in the bath for too long, the consistent chloride water actually makes the skin dry
Try getting out as much as possible, let the fresh air brush against your skin, hot or cold weather.
SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry to say and apologize I cannot provide you detailed reasoning of the above information, I simply don't know. One thing I do know, from the above, I'm not damaging my body, I'm increasing my life span and enduring a healthy body and as a result i believe the positives arise.
RESULTS
The Lord is truly Kind!! Your body is your temple!! You are what you eat!!
Many of you will be familiar with the above advice, but possibly haven't allowed yourself to detoxify and engage it fully regardless whether you experience a hard breakout of skin over-spread without conventional meds. Now having done this myself for 4 years with the help of only moisturizers, today I only have 2 to 3% of my body covered in psoriasis, not only that, the plaques are thin like scars and tend only to get a little dry during the cold weather. It's worked for me and I believe it can work for you....all you need is commitment and the ability to be consistent regardless what you experience. At first it was tough, but as the years went by my Body adapted to my new life style and my skin appreciates the bodies health and delivers beautifully.
Today I feel 10 times more versatile, healthier, even managed to open my own business and enjoy life as it's thrown at me. I found stability in my conditions foreplay and aftermath injunctions and most importantly by way of appearance the small breach of psoriasis I have now is nothing but tender scars which sometimes call for attention but little harm done. I have tiny bit on my lower back, incy wincy bit on my knuckles, and little on my legs. At times it appears on my knees too and comes a little strong, but eventually goes. I would have loved to show pictures but according to cultural and religious indoctrination I cannot. (dont ask! lol)
My thoughts are simple, as explained above, NATURE is the solution, sitting home all day, depressed and allowing stress to trigger off bad blood and skin cells is not the solution. Conventional expensive treatments where pharmaceutical companies benefit more then you do, is not the solution. The solution for the everyday sufferer is adopting a healthy life style, a consistently versatile one which not only improves your skin, but the body as a whole!!
NOTES
It is true different things work for different people, only difference is, this advice is free, its practicality is simple, its purpose is love, its resolution is CHANGE!!
Aren't you tired of conventional Meds/treatments? Not only are they expensive, according to my understanding they don't work in the long run and you end up on stronger crap!!
Where there is a Will, there is a Way!!

That is a beautiful story. I'm glad I was able to find someone with the same ideas that I have. Most everyone on this site that I have seen is so concerned with their meds, and a "cure", that they completely disregard simple facts. I thank you for your contribution and I am very happy for your success.

I'm glad u follow :)
Molly the fact is people who allow themselves to remain dependent on easy scores never hit the jackpot until some free hand is given out. Its the same with our condition, our dependency is "short term" and in the long term "ineffective". For example, speak to any long term sufferer, they will have a story to tell about the shift in mild treatments to strong steroid ointments or immuno-suppressant drugs, this requirement is inevitable if we completely depend on conventional treatments. This trend setter alone is sufficient for one to gather the damaging effects of such treatments which eventually never cure you. So our instincts should naturally determine the existence of an alternative treatment which can heal or control the symptoms which has to exist because the laws of science are founded on cause and effect and every cause has a trigger happy button, only we gotto understand the natural implications behind it. I actually 100% personally believe it's as easy as that....the sad part of it is when people make such changes to their lives, because their body begins to crave such conventional use of meds, when you stop using them, the skin flares up so badly and people become resentful of such basic and natural alternatives. But according to my experience and some others who have tried alternatives like the Pagano diet, it takes time for the body to create its default natural style of working and adopting the healthy practice again since for such a long time we have abused it with damaging treatments.
When I was covered by 60%'ish I swear I would have tried anything to survive...the desperation makes us weak and easily succumbed to the doc's practice which now i believe only harms us more then we know....Feed a violent dog meat everyday while he's chained to the fence and he's your best friend, don't feed it for a week and release him and he'll bite your ass and chew yer meat off lol Thats psoriasis with conventional meds. Why not treat the dog some manners, some discipline, nurture him properly so his friendship is not dependent on meat but more so dependent on mutual understanding. Thats where natural healthy lifestyles kick in, it's respecting the body to function properly and once the body finds its balance, the body and psoriasis form a mutual relationship, like love on a candy stick, both will not harm one another until death does them apart lol
