Psoriasis

[marcar1008]

Anyone has any home remedies for this skin problem? I've been suffering with psoriasis for more then 10 yrs and would like to find a good old remedy. Thanks and God bless for helping

I don't know if this would do any good, but here it is anyway. 

My mom reads a ton of herbal things, and one thing she keeps coming across is the benefits of having enough Vitamin E in your system.  It can help with heart issues, people with lots of E don't seem to get cancer, it helps with circulation, and it also helps remove skin issues like scars, varicose veins, and stretch marks.  I even burned my hand a few days ago, popped open a cap and dripped it onto the spot.  It tingled for a while but didn't hurt after that.

We always couple Vitamin E with Vitamin A and C as well, C to fight infections and A for cellular health.  You need a balance to absorb them all.  We use a brand called Twinlab cause they don't add stuff to them.  So many vitamins now have sugar in them to make them taste better when really all that does is counteract the vitamin.  I've seen bottled of them on Amazon but we get them at local stores.  They are more expensive then most you'll find, but they seem to be a better price.  Most will require you to take 2 or 3 capsules a day to get the amount you need, while with them you only need one normally.  It's up to you though which you want to try.

If you choose this, start slow.  My uncles has a heart condition and he took a ton and his heart started to race.  We think it's cause it was trying to get the E to the rest of the body, but it really startled his doctor so he stopped taking it.


Another thing to possibly try is this thing called "Carlson Labs ADE Cream".  If you look that up on Amazon, it should lead you to what I'm talking about.  I've used it all my life.  It's great for healing cuts and burns.  I had a nasty cut that really torn up the skin on my knee.  I had tremendous pain bending it.  We slathered that with this cream twice the day it happened.  The next day I was running on it with no pain.  Still looked like crap, but it was way better.  I've also had severe sun burns that were lessen after putting this on it.  It's not an instant cure, but it does seem to help the longer you use it and you really don't need to apply a lot to have it work.  Again, it's rather expensive, but I think it's well worth it.

Again, I have no clue if this will help at all, but it's something to try.

There isn't one.  It's either an individual genetic autoimmune disease or, if you're a fundie, "god's plan for you and who are you to contravene that?".  Millions of people suffer from this, (both psoriasis and self-delusional religious superstitions).  The best that can be done is to treat the symptoms in both instances.

You are right on the autimmune diease Falcon9. My hubby suffers from it and it gets worse when he is under a lot of stress. Those whith it should never soak in a hot tm  and if the weather is very hot they should wear shorts so the air can get too it. It is not something any one should make fun of because you never know when it might sneak up on you just lke shingles.

My comments were in opposition to religious beliefs, not intended to "make fun of" having psoriasis. I also personally know some who suffer from that and none of them are 'cured' of it by praying to some hypothetical being, (no one has been).

"Either God wants to abolish evil and cannot, or he can but does not want to.
If he wants to but cannot he is impotent. If he can but does not want to, he
is wicked. If he neither can nor wants to, then he is both powerless and
wicked."
