Skin conditions..psoriasis/exzema?
I went to a health food store and talked with a dietician about eczema and psoriasis and she recommended me to use pure sulphur soap. It's yellow with a funny smell to it. But it work great. It gets rid of the dry skin and scars. Also after using the soap she recommended using Eucerine cream (found at any drugstore) and pure aloe vera. It worked wonders for me. I hope this will work for you.
Reply:I had nizrol shampoo and it seemed to work as a face wash%26gt; I had to so bad had to see a specialist. I think stress makes mine worse so good luck and stay happy
Reply:I put a few drops of tea tree lavender and Aloe vera essential oils in my bath and it helps with the itching but most of all I have looked at which foods start off the itching and I have found mine to be strawberries, chocolate and fresh cream.(things I love)


I used the creams for a while but my skin ended up shinny and like you hated all the messing. the one cream that did help me was eumovate used in moderation.
Reply:Psoriasis and eczema are problems caused by your immune system overreacting. They are symptoms rather than a disease.


Creams with steroids help to reduce the problem and keeping the skin hydrated makes it more comfortable. Other treatments can include UV light and other lymphocyte suppressors like mustine. However, none of these is a cure.


Most skin problems are the result of your body's reaction to some aspect of 21st century living. It could be what your clothes are made of, or how they are washed, or to dust mites living in your bedding or carpets. The only way to find out the cause of your symptoms is to try changing different aspects of your life, diet and behaviour and see what improves your symptoms and what makes them worse.
Reply:For a start have you been allergy tested for food as well as things you come in contact with. My grand son has eczema and if he has any dairy products he breaks out all over. I make skin cream and also things to put into his bath that don't have all the nasty and petro chemicals in then and his skin is ok.
Reply:i use devonex it isnt a steroid and it has an active ingredient that actually reduces the production of skin called "calpitriol".


it really has changed myworld because i was covered all over and i was terribly embarressed about it. Now i am flake free and have nice smooth skin .. the large patches took along time to go and stained for quite a while ...but all is good. i do hope you find the right stuff for you because this affliction is a real drag ... but dont let it get you down there is hope!!
Reply:Why not learn what's the causative factors are and learn how to be rid of your psoriasis for good. Learn how to eat your way to good health and to treat the causes not the symptoms.


Acrylamide calcium protease/ Psoriasis


Psoriasis Is definitely an Autoimmune system failure, your body is telling you that's it simply cannot cope with what you are feeding it. I doubt whether l will ever meet a psoriasis sufferer whom isn't a Coeliac (intolerant to gluten). But there can be many other reasons why your immune system is not coping. There's no mystery as to the psoriasis itself Acrylamide (which is created when high temperatures between the amino acid "asparagine" and the sugar glucose especially in foods such as french fries, potato chips, bakery and cereal products), does play a role in psoriasis as do the food addictives (citrics). By eliminating these from your diet your psoriasis will clear up. This has been validated time and time again.


By using a tissue plasminogen activator it is possible to analyse the difference in normal and (psoriasis) pathological skin samples. The difference is a high calcium medium is found in pathological skin samples, in normal skin samples very little calcium is found in comparison.


This indeed makes sense as the most common sites of psoriasis especially plague psoriasis (the most common form of psoriasis) are of local trauma sites


This is also known as the “Koebner phenomenon


A BALANCE DIET IS THE KEY TO MANY HEALTH BENEFITS.


Natural whole foods have a package of nutrients and many beneficial factors that are not found in supplements. You won't find the essential elements in calcium ascorbate (VC) as you would in a real orange. An orange contains Vitamin C. with carotene, calcium, folate and fibre. There are other reasons for getting our nutrients from foods than supplements. There is no evidence that taking supplements can give you the same protection. Vitamin supplements to be avoided, especially Ascorbic Acid-Vitamin C (Food Additive Code 300) and Calcium Ascorbate (Food Additive Code E302).


Natural foods give you components that increase nutrient absorption in the body.


Supplements can reduce absorption of other nutrients


What many people don't realise is the nature of acrylamide is to bind and is responsible for the formation of Psoriasis.

For example, they mention a discovered cream which deosn't sell word-wide but sells word-wide by word-of-mouth alone which is supposed to be excellent for eczema (please end of page in link):
Reply:I also have both. This is an absolutely useless reply but I really don't know what to do about it! I have tried nearly everything but at the age of 56 I have to put it down to stress, long working hours, marital difficulties, the worry and concern of having an autistic child (now aged 23), debt, genetics (grandmother), years of being treated for depression - who knows, really? Doctors don't take it seriously because it isn't life threatening. Perhaps it's down to diet. I don't know.
