Re: Bogus Allopathic Diagnosis (B.A.D.) Now psorasis with burdock

[Guest guest]

Root decoction, 2 oz 3-4x/day (simmer root for 20 minutes in water) or

Root tincture, 1/2-1 teaspoon 3-4x/day or

Root capsules, 2-8 3x/day

Do this for as long as it takes for the problem to go away and then some, you

can plan on roughly one month of the herb for every year you've had the problem.

Vast improvement should occur before then (should see results within a week) but

you want to fix the problem, not just give some temporary relief.

I didn't think the capsules would do anything (cheap NOW brand on the shelf

for long enough to have to dust) but the customer claimed they worked well. The

stuff grows wild all around my farm so I prefer to do the decoction though I'm

not using if for psoriasis.

Any time skin eruptions come up think of what the underlying condition is.

Much of the time there is something going on internally that is preventing your

body from expelling toxins the usual route, frequently a congested liver. Since

toxins aren't coming out through the usual route (a happy poop) then they come

out through a backup system, your skin. Thus treating a skin eruption is

frequently treated by a good blood purifying herb or herbal combination. The

files have some great blood purifying mixes but burdock by itself is a simple

remedy that has withstood the test of time.

Creams and salves, whether allopathic or herbal, on the outside might treat

the skin outbreak and provide some short term relief but be smart and treat the

underlying condition internally while you are using the stuff on the outside.

I've got a salve that works great on a dog's skin problems but without treating

the inside the person keeps coming back asking for more salve. That would be

great if I were marketing a pharmaceutical especially if it was addictive but

I'm not plugging into that too common of a paradigm. Similiar problems on a cat

were treated by a diet shift, it was allergic to it's cat food and thrived on a

different brand with added flax seed or cod liver oil. I bet humans act

similiarly though I haven't had enough experience to tell you for sure.

The essiac suggestion is really good, it works by being an awesome blood

purifying formula.

In Aryveda psoriasis would be considered a vata imbalance (treatable with

a diet shift and other means) but that's going beyond my scope of training.

With all info understand that we're operating over the internet and we're

missing the problem/patient/healer interaction which is where a lot of the

healing occurs. If the burdock root decoction/tincture doesn't work then a

local healer who can look at you, your lifestyle, the diet, possible food

allergies, your condition, and get a better more individual read on what's going

on would be the next step (well, maybe after doing one of the purifying routines

in the files). A good naturopath could be an awesome help on this.

In the meantime drinking the burdock would be a fun project. Much funner

if you dig the root yourself but we do what we can with what's available in the

area. It's okay to add some stevia or honey if the decoction tastes a bit nasty

to you. I'ld do up about a pint and a half in the morning and keep the unused

stuff in the fridge. Make a new batch every morning.
