Scratchy, your English was fine.
I noticed in the other thread, you said you're taking garlic supplements as well? It sounds like you're taking other supplements in addition to Charles' shakes?
That's the concern I have with Charles' shakes. Even if I were to clear on it, it must be so exhausting just to maintain, spending a fortune on all the ingredients and making it every few days to eat the daily intake.
Not garlic supplements, but just raw garlic cloves. That's because I found recently that I have pinworms..but I have to take a serious treatment eventually. May be it's slowing down the clearing this time.
Regarding Charles treatment, I share your point of view. The thing is, what is your priority in life ?
If you were like me body covered and that a guy proposed you to follow charles diet, just to to try it before engaging in conventional stuff with all its costs, and more importantly, with all its side effects, like that great cyclosporin treatment of frustrated Nick, what would you chose ? Of course it's hard, it's even harder for fat people like ... who are used to rely on food precisely because of psoriasis despare and frustrations..in that way, I understand that kind of people because they litteraly live to eat and do not want psoriasis to take them away from the only thing that satifies them. I mean, if you are all covered head to toe (like I was) what self esteem are you left with ? None. Then a guy comes in and tells you what aritotle or some other antic said "Let your food be your medicine", tells you that it's so obvious that you are what you eat, that diet and shakes are working, and he even shows you pictures to prove it, charles or mine what ever...but that to achieve clearing you have to give up the only pleasure left when you're alone.. I do understand those people hiding behind the "Nahh that's too simple, naaa that's too unscientifically proven "yet" naaa that's too obvious to be real"...but guess what, I was desperate trying pagano, then barney's (which worked fine one time) and finally something alternative significantly worked for me, unbelievable. and guess what else, it's free!
Personally, I keep following that way because I know it works, and most of all, I know that beyond clearing my skin it's absolutely good for my body.
If you do achieve clearing with the shakes And the Diet, then you can stop the shakes and just remain on the diet, the P won't come back..At least I can say it worked that way for me with no shakes, no sun, no supplements etcetc just sticking with the diet and waiting for my 4th blender during 3 months..
I just hope than one day you'll come back to this topic really worried and showing us pictures of your body experiencing some kind of Herxeimer reaction like I had, and like Pagano describes in his book. That made me think how it is possible that people following pagano's diet can achieve herxeimer reaction ?! It's was so "insufficient" for me.
