It really does WORK!!!!!!!

[Bronwen]

Hi, I've only just found this site and find it extremely interesting - your message particularly so as I have tried various prescribed treatments, all cortisone based, and none of them really worked for longer than about a fortnight.  It was as if once my skin got used to a cream, it rejected it and only itched even more.  

The best treatments I did find were (1) hemp oil, I used to buy hemp oil to rub into the skin, use pure hemp soap in a shower (I find a bath makes my skin itch even more) and hemp shampoo.  I used to get these oils from a small place in London - they were known as the Hemp Garden - but they moved to Devon and the post became terribly unreliable.  Unfortuntately after about 18 months it stopped working.

The next thing I tried was seaweed powder - first bought from a stall at a Mind, Body & Spirit festival.  This worked for around 2 years but recently has provided much less relief.  To find their website, do a search on Aalgo.  They do give a money back guarantee if it doesn't work but I felt after using the stuff for a couple of years it was a bit of a cheek to do so!

The best thing overall I have found is the sun and last summer was wonderful - I spent as many hours as I could with my feet stuck out of the french windows - and I actually have found that burning the affected patches is the best treatment ever.

I should explain that when I first got psoriasis it was about 14 years ago.  I was under great stress and it started on the insides of the legs from the groin to the knee, on my hands (my palms were raw) and feet - on the tops of the feet extending to the shin and the soles  of the feet.  I left my husband and moved to London - the psoriasis disappeared from the inside of my legs in a very short space of time.  I worked for a while at King's College Hospital but again came under almost unendurable stress through overwork and lousy managers.  I left there to go to Moorfields Eye Hospital and within weeks the psoriasis on my hands disappeared, leaving me with just my feet to contend with!  The soles of the feet are now much better but I am having great difficulty in curing the tops of the feet - it no longer extends to the shins.

A few people have suggested using oats, I really must give it a go but I shall also try the Omega 3 (I am also using Flax/Linseed oil capsules) and the milk you mentioned - I can't remember what it was called but shall go back to check up.

well seeing as I am clear at the moment and wanting to stay this way, I have already invested in some Lakeland Willow Water (not bad apart from the constant visits to the little girls room), already have some omega 3 oils, I now have some porridge oats, just need to invest in some tights! Anything is worth a go and in my opinion the cheaper the better

the body shop sell a large range of Hemp products. I tried the soap and the body lotion  and noticed an improvement for the first couple of weeks and then nothing so just gave up on using it!
At work at the moment but as soon i finish I am going to buy some tights and some oats!!

stewart cheers for the bio oil tip, ill get right on that. Also i read your thread the other day, and blimey mate your more then spot on and your treatment method sounds just about perfect. I too find that fried food is a killer!! You speak from good experience, you SHOULD write a book called stewarts healthy diet: A psoriasis Killer (I'D BUY IT!!)

Bronwen i feel you man, ive never used hemp oil, but yeah defintely you should try the bathing regime and give up all the sourcery bacterial foods such as burgers, fast food take aways, etc oh and yes my fav. KEBABS!!!

Hi, having read a few of the replies now regarding the Wonder Cure I'm feeling more sceptical and rather depressed about it!  I tried ringing the number given at the end of the article but got an answerphone message - have to try again Monday.

I've come to the conclusion that our Aussie friend is right - psoriasis come from our inner being, external "cures" help alleviate the problem but don't cure the source.  And from my experience, I would say that the source is definitely stress related.  Each time I have managed to escape a stress related way of life, the psoriasis has got a bit better.  To take things to the extreme, I knew someone once who had it really badly, her husband died and the psoriasis miraculously disappeared!!!!!  I still am going to try the oats (not having a bath I shall tie a stockingfull to the shower head) and the Omega 3 and am tryng very hard to cultivate a more laid back approach to life!!!  At the end of the day I pray that I will be able (financially!!) to retire in about 3½ years and be able to achieve a house by the sea where. perhaps, for once I will be able to relax properly!

In the meantime I have my crystals.............

I have just stopped using Dovobet (after feedback from this site) so will try this routine. Will keep you all updated.

I have the fish oils but never tried a porridge bath.

p.s Any spare tights going ? S,M or L..I'm not fussy.

Go for it Bronwen - i do the capsules, drink loads of water (which I never used to do), use dead sea products, get out in the sun, and generally try an adopt a "don't give a damn" attitude = and I genuinely believe it is working for me - my P is so much better now.  Let me know how you get on with the shower version - i very rarely have a bath purely because I prefer to shower!



Also:  have changed my diet completely over the past few months - loads more wholemeal bread and pasta, loads more veg, cutting down on tea and coffee etc.  But, like Saas, am a kebab addict!  (got to have some treats)
