What worked for my family, is selenium and biotin. Yeast can also

cause this.

Thanks for all your informations!

My son doesn't eat soya or corn since more than 4 years.

I will swap my washing up liquid for a natural one.

I will increase his selenium intake to see what happen.

I also read that zinc might help, does anyone knows something about

that?

Thanks in advance!

From The Cure for all Disease:

" Psoriasis and eczema are both caused by Ascaris. Their molting

chemicals are quite allergenic; perhaps it is these that are

affecting the skin. Since pets pick these worms up daily, there is

chronic reinfection in families with pets. Keep zapping. "

There is a lot of information for ridding oneself of Ascaris in all

of Hulda's books. Four of her books are avialable electronically on

this group's site in the Files directory. Please also get yourself a

copy of her latest book, The Prevention of All Cancer, as it contains

her latest research. And starting reading.

Good luck,

i just read your email on psoriasis. the colon and a series of liver

cleanses should fix that problem, and drinking 8 cups of water a day

Subject: [low dose naltrexone] psoriasis

have been following posts to this forum for a while now and am looking

out for LDN usage by psoriasis sufferers.have not seen any postings.

are there any psoriasis sufferers out there on LDN???? please let us

hear of your experiences. many thanks

[Guest guest]

I am taking LDN for Crohn's disease. I also have a spot of Psoriasis

on one shin. It has been there since about one year after my Crohn's

symptoms started.

It has been a lot worse than it is now. It seems to be healing,

although it is extremely slow. I expect it to go away completely

since it no longer gets worse at any time. It will take months to know.

I am not positive that it is the LDN that is improving it. I also

have used Chlorine Dioxide internally to kill bacteria and viruses.

The Psoriasis was already getting better from this, before I started

LDN. Now I only take the Chlorine Dioxide (Miracle Mineral

Supplement) once a week and also take LDN.

Not sure if this helps at all. I have never heard of Psoriasis going

quickly from any treatment. It also is about the hardest thing to get

rid of that I have seen.

Good Luck

Hi,

Yes, LDN has helped one man that I've been reading about at

s site, he had psoriasis covering the whole body, he wrote

that he had one spot left with no psoriasis, it was not bigger than a

coin. When he had used ldn for a year I think, he just had one spot

left with psoriasis!! funny way to describe it.....

I am sure will give you her url address, so you are able

to read his story. I was really fascinated.

Do try LDN, you won't lose anything, ldn is safe.

The guy who posted that I believe was completely affected by hurricane

Katrina that hit Louisiana, he no longer posts. All that I've got is

his thread of posts up to the Katrina disaster.

- some P itches and some doesn't. Depends on the person and on

the patch. Cortisone cream usually helps pretty quickly, though it

doesn't necessarily clear up. Like you, I had the arthritis before the

psoriasis.

Most of my psoriasis has been on palms and soles. I've only had two small

lesions of regular plaque psoriasis, one on a knuckle and one on an elbow. So,

yes, psoriasis can be very limited (thank God!).

Hi ,

P does not have to itch. Mine never did, but it also tends to go the " raw " root

vs. looking dry. I prefer to use Teatree oil mixed with shea butter to keep

under control. First it's all natural, the less chemicals on top of meds the

better right, and it's moisturizing. Since the teatree oil has a really strong

scent I suggest using it at night or if you will be home, you can supplement

with just shea butter during the day, which is also on its own, very healing.

Good Luck.

I had psoriasis for years before I developed PA a year ago but it was never any

place but my elbows. Has not been a problem for about 3-4 years but I just had

to go off Enbrel temporarily because of a minor surgical procedure and the

psoriasis came back. I use cortisone cream and it works pretty quickly to calm

the itching and scaling (yes, mine does itch a bit) but it can come back; so

keep at it with the cortisone at the first sign. And don't panic . . . . . .

Dorothy: it is not usual for someone to get PA without having psoriasis first;

however, it does happen in a certain % of cases. Having it does help with the

diagnosis of PA; in fact, my rheumy had already diagnosed my problems as fibro

until she noticed the scarring on my elbows and saw that I'd written down that I

had psoriasis. Then she switched and immediately said, " Oh, you have psoriatic

arthritis. " I'd never even heard of it!!!!!!!! Went straight home and started

web searching and learned a lot fast!!!! The really practical stuff, though,

still comes from this group.

: I see teatree oil in a number of moisturizers and lotions (some work

wonderfully) but am wondering about the oil, itself and where you purchase it.

Health food store? I love shea butter, too.

[Guest guest]

Hi I thought I would jump in. Some people could have psoriasis in their

anus and have no clue it is there or what it is. My rheumatologist said he

has found that several of his patients had no idea they had it and thought

they had hemorrhoids inside their anuses. I know for myself my first

recollection of any kind of skin irritation was an incredible itching

sensation in my anus. I was too embarrassed to ask anyone one doctor or not

my I was so itchy there.

Years later when the psoriasis started to show up on my back and legs I

realized that this was that same kind of itch I had years before. Those of

us with psoriasis know the itch is like something that can not be scratched

.. For me the only way I ever felt relief from the psoriasis was to break

the skin and make it bleed and then the itch would go away. I did not do

that with the anal thing but it was that same kind of intense itch. Has

anyone else experienced it?

Barb

[Guest guest]

Thanks Joanna and the others who have replied to my initial posts. I

am new here, but have had problems with PA in both my feet for

several years. That diagnosis was given by a foot doctor. But my PC

doctor suggested seeing a rheumatologist last December because of

severe lower back pain, and then he, in turn, seems to think that is

also related to PA. However, where my PC doctor had me taking Ibuprofen &

Hydrocodone, the rheumy doesn't want me to take those meds at all,

and that is when he started me on MTX and also Nabumetone. But the

latter was not doing anything to relieve the pain, so he prescribed

something else, which caused an allergic reaction, and now a third

pain med. As of last week, I also started phs therapy for the back

pain. Nothing seems to be helping and I am wondering if it's even

related to PA, or if the fact that I can't walk right because of the

foot pain is causing the problems with my back.

Sorry for the long post, but that's where things stand with me right

now. I am very glad to have found this group and I'm sure I will

benefit by everyone's input here.

[Guest guest]

Health food stores are a good source. You can also go on line and by it mixed

with bees wax which works well also. I swear by all of this and have used no

scripts on my skin for 8 years.

Penkoff <girlfriendgeneration@...>

[Guest guest]

Hi Barb,

You are so right. I too never thought I had any psoriasis, but I did

have an uncomfortable itch in and around the anus. I had always

thought it was hemorrhoids/fissures, had even gone to a doctor to get

relief, but was told I didn't have hemorrhoid's, but slight irritation,

possibly a yeast infection. The doctor, suspected I may have

developed a yeast infection from sharing soap/towels with my female

roommate. I never really gave it much thought. If only I was

properly diagnosed back then.

FYI, it is still a place where I have reoccurring stubborn psoriasis.

Creams do help, but the re-occurrence is maddening.

Stay Well,

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

Yep it is the one place that I too have the psoriasis now after all the

Enbrel and MTX. It is a stubborn spot. I feel somewhat relieved now that

I know what it is.

You can have a tiny skin patch and that can be enough to cause the arthritis

component to kick in. Another place that psoriasis can is on your scalp

and people think it is dandruff or at embarrassed to show the doctor. I

know for me I thought oh this is just a skin thing..after all remember all

those commercials when we were kids " the heartbreak of psoriasis " . Who knew

it would be so utterly horrible and not just at so called cocktail parties.

I hadn't been diagnosed with psoriasis either, when I was initially

diagnosed with the PA; my actual nail involvement and palmar-plantar

lesions started showing up about three-four years later. At that time,

my rheumatologist told me that between 10-20 % of folks develop PA

first and the actual psoriasis pops up later on down the road.

(Although, I had always had problems with what I thought was dandruff,

and problems with rashes in my ear canals at the time, so possibly I

had the psoriasis initially and just hadn't been properly diagnosed.)

I haven't responded I over a year tho I read most issues.

I couldn't resist responding about the nail fungus. I have had PA for many

years and have a wonderful Rheumatologist. Have been on all the med and

injections with some relief.

I have what they call " diamond nails " which cover my nails and have had them

for 20 years. I have had 2 or 3 nails they came off and realized it was the

psoriasis. No fungus infection or soreness. My nail person was able to attach

a new nail to the nail coming in and it never disfigured the nail.

My feet are something else and will have to go to a podiatrist. Nails are

fine but toes are growing over over each other.

Hi Nettie,

I know of people with ALS in NZ who are on LDN, though not sure whether

they get it compounded or just mix it up themselves from the tablets.

Hi ,

Thanks for that - it is a real relief to know that it is being

prescribed in New Zealand in some form at least.
