What is Psoriasis? – An Explanation of the Symptoms and What Causes Them


Psoriasis Free For Life

If you’ve ever had thick, reddish, scaly patches of skin you might have psoriasis. But what is psoriasis exactly? It is a chronic skin disorder that is fairly common, occurring in approximately 3% of the population. Any part of the skin may be affected but the most commonly affected areas are the knees, elbows, and scalp.

The severity of this skin disease can vary from person to person and treatment options also vary according to the severity of the condition. For most people, psoriasis tends to be mild with just a few lesions. In more severe cases the lesions cover a larger area of the skin and can also cause an itching and / or burning sensation that can be quite uncomfortable.

Psoriasis is not contagious so you don’t have to worry about anyone catching it from you. It is believed to be a genetic condition in which the immune system is somehow mistakenly triggered and because of this, skin cells are produced very rapidly. Everyone is constantly shedding dead skin cells which are replaced with new ones. Normally, new skin cells mature over the course of about 3 to 4 weeks before they die off and are replaced.

In people with psoriasis, the replacement process is greatly accelerated and only takes about 2 to 6 days. Because of this acceleration, living cells and dead cells build up on the skin’s surface causing the thick, reddish, scaly appearance.

There are a number of different treatment options available and you should consult a dermatologist to diagnose your condition and suggest treatment options for you.

Psoriasis Disease is a Myth


Psoriasis Free For LifeThe cause of Psoriasis is curable. Recent research proves there is a cure.

Note that it will be at lease another 10 years before the Dermatologist in the USA start using the cure for the cause.

It’s a myth that Psoriasis is incurable and it really isn’t a skin disease at all.

What it is, is a body defect that messes up the skin cell production process. Psoriasis sufferers just don’t produce enough of the skin building blocks and good skin is not produced properly. Instead in some places, your body makes chemicals that irritates the skin which results in a build up of extra skin that flakes off… hence you have Psoriasis.

It is a well known fact that northern summer sunshine helps the body make better skin and reduces the production of the extra buildup of skin cells.

However, the sunshine effect doesn’t last beyond the summer months.

Diet also helps the body manufacture better skin cells. Oatmeal, the simple breakfast food, is known to contain some of the missing ingredients used to make normal skin.

There are also a couple of Vitamin supplements that are know to help sufferers produce a cleaner and normal skin.

The above regimen taken steadily is known to help the majority of sufferers throughout the year.

The Europeans and Indians are more experienced and advanced to help rid the body of unsightly Psoriasis lesions. They can and sometime do administer a group of aggressive food grade ingredients (problem – they can cause an upset digestive system that returns to normal when treatment stops ) that so far have not found their way to American supplier’s shelves for sale to the US public. It has been reported that 4 out of 5 sufferers who enroll in these regimens get some if not all Psoriasis relief. And again, to have a permanent effect the regimen must be consistently continued.

My personal experience:
It was only through my persistence that a better treatment resulted and is given above. I now have minimal and an acceptable social level of Psoriasis and it does not bother me anymore. Below, in my bio I’ve referenced a source where you can find more information.

Still working hard at trying to stay out of retirement…About 15 years ago, and out of nowhere, I developed sores on my legs and genitals. The Dermatologist said I had Psoriasis and wrote out a prescription for a $70.00 tube of ointment. It did not help the situation. So after the 2nd tube I decided there had to be a better way. Recently I came across a product that looked promising and I wrote a review about it. To see this information and my conclusions…Go Here: http://HowToCurePsoriasisCauses.com/

Psoriatic Arthritis and Scalp Psoriasis – How to Treat and Cure


Psoriasis Free For LifeI am not a doctor or an alternative health practitioner, so I do not have extensive training or specialized training in the treatment of psoriasis. But I have suffered from both psoriatic arthritis and scalp psoriasis. In fact, I have been afflicted with scalp psoriasis on and off for 40 years. Thankfully, I have only had one bout of psoriatic arthritis during an extremely stressful time in my life. No doctors were able to diagnose my psoriatic arthritis because it is very similar to rheumatoid arthritis but not as well known or understood. Thanks to some ancient herbs and a tonic from Australia, I am now essentially symptom-free from both diseases. Here is what I took to have healthy skin and joints:

Salicylic acid and coal tar solution. Find a product that contains 10% salicylic acid and 10% coal tar solution in an olive oil base, which aids in scalp penetration. You may have tried products in the past that contain these ingredients, but most likely not in these high concentrations. Apply it to your scalp every night for two weeks. The one I used was David’s Scalp Psoriasis Lotion which I purchased online from hoskingspharmacy.com. Or you may be able to have a dermatologist prescribe these solutions for a compounding pharmacy to make for you. I probably had one of the worst possible cases of scalp psoriasis, but since I used this product seven months ago, I have been 99% plaque free. It is recommended that you maintain your clear scalp with a shampoo like Neutrogena T-Gel twice a week and apply David’s Scalp Psoriasis Lotion only to plaques, if needed. I still do get tiny plaques from time to time but two or three treatments with the lotion are enough to make them disappear.

Boswellia, cayenne pepper, devil’s claw, and chlorophyll. Boswellia is an herb used in Ayurveda for arthritis and as an anti-inflammatory agent. Cayenne pepper is used to improve blood circulation. For thousands of years, devil’s claw has been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Chlorophyll is used to fight infections, heal wounds, and promote the health of the immune system. When treating any disease, you should keep in mind the broad variations among individuals; not all treatments work for all people. I read about this treatment combination for psoriatic arthritis in one of nutritionist Gary Null’s books and it completely eradicated my arthritis and joint swelling within one week. I had suffered from psoriatic arthritis for about four months.

No one knows exactly what causes psoriasis, but we do know the predisposition for psoriasis is usually passed on genetically. It has been said that it is the body’s way to release stress and/or negative emotions. If you want to release psoriasis from your body, find a way to relax. And take these herbs and medications. They don’t have any known side effects, unlike the Western pharmaceuticals that are normally prescribed for psoriasis such as cortisone drugs.
