People with PSORIASIS, ECZEMA, and even acne are often extremely sensitive about this as in some cases it can look a little unsightly. Although it is not contagious except acne, it’s embarrassing and difficult for those who have it on areas which people can see, as it can look worse than it is.
Here’s a further expansion of a protocol you may find helpful if you are struggling with this condition.
1. Increase essential fatty acid omega-3 from fish oil ( fish oil has the DHA and EPA present to help).
2. Eliminate alcohol, gluten, dairy, sugar in all its forms especially fructose and artificial sweeteners – choose instead stevia or xylitol
3. Cut out all inflammatory fats such as sunflower oil, canola oil, soy oil, flaxseed oil, grapeseed oil, margarines etc. Use only extra-virgin olive oil, coconut oil and real butter. Macadamia oil is also fine and so are animal fats like lard and duck fat.
4. Find out which foods you are intolerant too – it is very important and eliminate them.
5. Use digestive enzymes with your meals, and a probiotic to replace good flora in the digestive tract. Prepzymes and ProBPlus are excellent.
6. Take a good multi-mineral and multi-vitamin, plus consider a Methylcobalamin pill (B12) sublingual daily tablet.
7. Avoid sugar, wheat and dairy – 3 foods which are often responsible for the underlying triggers to flare-ups.
IMPORTANT FACTORS TO CONSIDER:
• Elevated Homocysteine levels have been linked to an increased risk of Psoriasis and this is why B6, B12 and folate will be very helpful in a good B Complex
• Gluten has been implicated as a cause of Psoriasis (when Gluten is removed from the diet of Psoriasis patients, their condition generally dramatically improves).
• Alcohol (ethanol) consumption significantly exacerbates existing cases of Psoriasis (by increasing the absorption of toxins in the Gastrointestinal Tract and by impairing the function of the Liver).
• To***co smoking increases the risk of developing Psoriasis (especially in women).
• Eliminate all fructose sources, also known to worsen this condition.
• Stop all artificial sweeteners, use xylitol, erythritol or Keto Sweet Zero instead
• Remember – psoriasis starts in the GUT, not the skin, so the gut needs to be addressed first of all
Stress of course does exacerbate pre-existing conditions, and psoriasis is no exception.
Consider eating fresh food, eliminating all ‘fake’ foods and do your best to modify your lifestyle where needed (early nights, plenty of water, some exercise each day) – and you should be pleasantly surprised with the result.
