Reiki and P... help/advice needed?
« on: August 02, 2005, 10:38:19 AM »
Hiya folks,
Hope some of you are able to help me here......As some of you know i suffer from PA and recently have been at my wits end trying to find something to help (this is my 7th week off work with it) I am going for physio and acupuncture and on Sunday went to my 1st Reiki session.
My P has been clear for months, except a patch on my shin that has been there that long i feel kinda attatched to it. But I  woke up this morning absolutley covered, literally overnight.I was a little itchy yesterday Do you think the two could be connected? Has anyone had a simular experience?

What did you eat and drink the day before?

Specifically - breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks....

Urm, from memory a babana and toast for breakfast, salad for lunch - chips and gravy for tea (bad girl i know!) drinks.. smootie coconut, pineapple and banana. 10 glasses of water - got dodgey kindeys through cyclosporin so drink this every day. 2 cans of diet coke and a horlicks before i went to bed!  That about sums it up i think.... should i have followed a certian diet? She never mentioned it

Certain diet to follow? I'm not sure.

It's just that I suspected you may have consumed something that caused an allergic reaction. Perhaps something in that diet coke.

Maybe you have become allergic to wheat (the toast you ate).

Other than the diet coke and chips and gravy, what you ate for the mosty part seems OK.

I'm not familiar with horlicks (American). What are those?

Did you bruise or cut yourself recently?

I'm off to work now, but I'll check back in later.

i got muvh worse when i had healing before i got MUCH better. So stick it out. reiki is unlikely to make you worse. Ask them to concentrate on the liver that where psoriasis is energetically very strong.

The other thought that occurred to me today was that you may have become allergic to something that you have been eating very frequently for a long time.

If a person consumes a food on too regular a basis over a long period of time, it is common to develop an allergy to it.

Some are conscientious about rotating the types of food they eat on a day-to-day basis to avoid developing allergies to anything.

Reflect on the kinds of food you eat every day. Is there something that you eat a couple times a day, each and every day?

I would also recommend giving up drinking ALL soda. Neither diet soda or regular soda are very good for anyone, whether or not they have psoriasis.

The chips and gravy.....well, I'm certain you already know that you shouldn't be consuming that, especially if you are burdened with a skin disorder.

If there was a lot of pepper in the gravy it makes it difficult on the liver to process. Things like pepper, paprika, cinnamon, tumeric, cayenne, etc.. actually tax the liver.

On the other hand, some of those spices I mentioned above, have been found beneficial for the body. Tumeric has been found to have anti-inflammatory and cancer preventative properties. Cinnamon, among many other things, has also been found to be good for digestion and relieving congestion.

Was there any milk added to the gravy?
