Soratinex Trial

I am a Psoriasis sufferer of around 6-8 yrs and would describe my condition as moderate. Up until 4 or 5 months ago my Psoriasis was contained to elbows, knees and a bit behind the ears and bottom. My very first indication it was on its way was around 40 years of age when I noticed fingernails were becoming soft and rubbery when I cut them. There was also an occasional brown tint to some of the nails.... a bit like what you might expect a smoker to have. (Not that I smoke). Then several months later came the dreaded white patches of flakey skin on the elbows, very very small at first but I dismissed it as just dry skin that was caused by me sitting at a desk at work with my elbows in contact with the desk..... a bit like a hard, dry bit of skin developing through constant contact rubbing. Over time these got bigger and also developed on my knees. What was unusual was that just like a stroke sufferer who is usually affected down the left side of the body, my worst areas of plaque Psoriasis were all down my left side... left elbow, left knee, left ear ..... the other side was nowhere near as bad. Then after a couple of years I developed swollen fingers and pain in the hands and fingers.... it was psoriatic arthritis setting in. I have been on every steroid cream you can imagine.... but now they do nothing (except having left me with quite thinking skin in places you don’t want thinking skin). For the arthritis I started on methatrexate .... well that didn’t go well for me and eventually was replaced with something less vigorous.... Salfasalazine. After many months of the same routine I found that the arthritis would subside in the summer months and return in the winter. I began to look for alternatives because my blood pressure was high and needed controlling, my weight was high and I had the mid drift belly ..., Having a discussion with a friend who lived in Australia ‘Paleonutter.com’ I pursed a different course of trying to change my diet.... radically. I was also guided towards two other sources of inspiration.... Dr Josh AXE on YouTube and a woman called Shan Nix Jones and her website called the Chuckling Goat. Both these two preached about the problem of Psoriasis being cause by what is going on in your gut and something called Leaky Gut syndrome. What did I have to loose.... I followed the advice... drank lots of goats milk Kefir and completely gave up refined sugar, gluten, wheat, trans fats and stuck mainly to natural fats and oils, grass Fed meats, lots of oily fish, bone broth, eggs and supplements.. Sugar was the biggest thing though... absolutely none... no fizzy drinks and only Natural Stevia. After 12 weeks it really began to work, the scales as good as disappeared and went flat and the inflammation was going down (and so was my weight). The pain in my fingers disappeared and my nails got better. I got complacent and thought that it had worked.... so it all stoped and that’s where I made my biggest mistake. Back came the old food... the crappy processed stuff, the bad fats etc etc. Within weeks the Psoriasis came back with a vengeance, this time it had broken out in the form of Guate Psoriasis down my thighs, calf’s, ankles and right across my lower back.. I now have had to re-start the diet change again in the hope that it has the same effect as it had the first time round. I have also, just like many on this forum recently read about SORATINEX and am intrigued, so I have ordered my large pack of the Gel, Oil and Cream and intend to see what happens there. Hopefully it should be arriving on or around 24th January 18...... so I will let you know after a weeks use. I do honestly believe that Psoriasis is caused by a imbalance of the microbiome in the gut (leaky gut syndrome) and I would recommend you have a read of a book called ‘The Good Skin Solution’ by Shann Nix Jones and to also look at the short videos on YouTube by Dr AXE with regards to Psoriasis diet and Leaky Gut.
