Will raw help with Psoriasis?

[Shmoopie]

I've had psoriasis for a few years now. It's not a severe case, that's for sure. I've seen much worse. I've heard all sorts of explanations about what causes it, and think they all have some merit.

I've never had medical treatment for Psoriasis as I know that it doesn't get rid of the psoriasis at all, and can have some pretty rotten side effects. I don't do medication unless it's absolutely neccessary (which is rather rare). I've used some "natural" psoriasis cream from the health food store. It helped to lessen the severity of the psoriasis on my elbows (the worst spots I have. Also the only spots that never go away). It also got rid of a few newer spots that had come up at the time that I was using that product. I have a lotion now that does the same thing. It's got mostly natural ingredients in it, the main one being borage oil.

Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you have/ever had psoriasis? Did it ever go away? I feel pretty confident in the idea that the raw diet is going to make it go away. Is that a pretty safe bet, or no?

raw will definitely heal psoriasis, eventually. The more alkaline the body, the faster it will heal. I read a book (can't remember the name at the moment) in which the author, who is an M.D. and only treats psoriasis, puts people on an 80% raw, very alkaline forming diet and patients clear up from even extremely disfiguring psoriasis literally all over their bodies. THere are before and after picks in the book. Darn, i wish I could remember who wrote it. Try googling under "natural psoriasis cures" or "psoriasis and diet cures", something like that.

Moi! 80-90 healed and ongoing. Auto immune condtions are intricate. I took the global approach. :)
