It’s known that the digestive system affects the immune system, fact. This is the reason I believe that p can be 100% controlled (and possibly cured) by managing diet and external factors effectively.
So.....
What’s the link between the digestive system and the immune system?
The digestive system is the human bodies way of “keeping us running,” we eat food and our digestive system turns that food into useful chemicals we need to function. Think about how a plant works... They take sunlight in and convert it into useful chemicals for them to grow, the principle is the same. If the digestive system isn’t functioning properly your body isn’t getting the chemicals it needs to defend its self properly from internal and external attack (the immune system).
I believe that the main cause of p is suffering from a faulty digestive system and/or poor liver function. P sufferers put food into their body that for some reason there digestive system can’t seem to handle. The reason for this could be a number of different things, one reason maybe that they suffer from a low level of hydrochloric acid in the stomach or that the acid they produce is not of the correct ph. If this where the case then food would not be digested properly, it’s known that if protein isn’t fully digested bacteria can break down inside the proteins and produce toxic chemicals.
The article below explains this in detail !!!
When protein digestion is incomplete or proteins are poorly absorbed, bacteria can break down the proteins and produce toxic substances. One group of these toxins is called polyamines, which have been found to be higher in people with psoriasis than in the average population. Polyamines contribute to psoriasis by blocking production of cyclic-AMP. Vitamin A and an herb called goldenseal inhibits the formation of polyamines. Since protein digestion begins in the stomach, low levels of hydrochloric acid there can also cause incomplete protein digestion. Digestive enzymes and/or hydrochloric acid supplementation aid protein digestion.
Bowel toxemia plays an important role in psoriasis. A poor balance of intestinal flora due to stress, diet, medications, or other factors often leads to bacterial and fungal infection. In fact, many people with psoriasis have colonization of fungus in their digestive system and on their skin. In a recent study, twenty-one out of thirty-four people with psoriasis were found to have Candida albicans in the spaces between their fingers or toes, and the majority were also affected by fungi from the Tinea family. Other research found a 56 percent increase in nail fungus in people with psoriasis. Another study looked at stool samples of people with psoriasis and other skin disorders. Researchers found a high number of disease producing microbes, predominantly yeasts, in the Colon. This may not be the cause of psoriasis, but rather an indication of poor gut ecology. Treatment for yeast infection Corresponded with a decrease in skin inflammation.
Elimination diets and hypersensitivity testing have also produced profound results. People with psoriasis have high levels of IgE antibodies, which indicate an allergic component. Intestinal dysbiosis predisposes people to food and environmental sensitivities, so people with hypersensitivities need to heal the intestinal lining by taking appropriate bacterial supplements.
Poor liver function may contribute as well. Liver function profile tests and the metabolic screening questionnaire can help you determine liver function, and the metabolic screening questionnaire can also be used to follow your progress. Incorporate a detoxification program with an elimination/ provocation diet to determine which foods may trigger your psoriasis.
Alcohol consumption contributes to psoriasis, since alcohol contains many toxic substances, which stress an overburdened liver. Candida albicans (yeast) thrive when beer and wine are consumed. Even one glass can provoke symptoms. Alcohol also increases intestinal permeability.
The causes and treatment of psoriasis are complex. Successful treatment must encompass several approaches reflecting its complexity. Look for underlying causes and develop a personal program based on your needs.

LoginMy theory is that Bowel toxaemia at any level inhibits the digestion of “transportation” proteins such as Calbindin. Without the appropriate levels of these proteins crucial compounds such as vitamin D, calcium and magnesium can’t make their way around the body. This is why when people with p supplement these vitamins they see improvements..
It seems that p may be caused by a series of knock on affects in the body, starting with a faulty digestive system and ending with red raised flakey skin.... now to fill in the gaps :/
