Success stories. What did you use?

Hi, I recently went diary free. After 27 years of horrible Psorasis on my arms, hands, kness, legs and ears I am so happy to say that my skin is back to being normal...something I missed so much. I have some whiter patches here and there but my skin if flat not raised, red or dry and scally. I am so happy. I use Koko milk for everything even in tea and coffee and making a white sauce or vegan style yorkshire pud. It literally is so normally of the non diary milks. I also use Pure spread for margarine and Violife for cheese. I didnt think i could do it as i am such a lover of diary but I have and its changed my life. I hope this could for you too. 😀

To those who've gone "dairy" free to find relief &/or reduction of psoriasis symptoms: - I too went dairy free - but used Buffalo milk - it is considerably more expensive that standard dairy milk - but tastes far superior to any of the soya or other vegetable milks as are available. The rationale for the efficiency is somewhat alarming! - the dairy cow will eat anything regardless as to how it has been chemically modified by fertilizers or feed stuff compounds... the Buffalo is "purist" - it will genuinely starve to death in preference to eating chemically modified products. From this it may be conjected that psoriasis may be due to Western man's manipulation of livestock & farming techniques which invoke effects to the human immune sytem... as supported by the virtual abscence of psoriasis within indigenous Asian and Indo-Asian populations.... - simple observational science!!!

I have lived with psoriasis for 37 years and 20 years ago was hospitalised for several weeks. I have tried many steroid topical treatments and infra red light treatment as well. A year ago I changed my diet and no longer consume any dairy or animal products, my psoriasis improved but was still visible on my elbows and parts of my arms. A month ago I changed my diet again and removed refined sugars and processed food. My skin has never looked so good and psoriasis is no longer visible. Today I wore short sleeves in public and for the first time in a long time I felt comfortable in my own skin. I’m so happy but have no one to share my delight with because I’ve put a lid on my feelings and ‘got on with it’ for so many years.

HI all, My psoriasis started to appear in between my toes about 3 years ago, I am 45 years old now, and my father had it for as long as I can remember, his never cleared up. He was very heavy drinker. Anyway It swiftly climbed up my shins, thighs, torso, ears, elbows and scalp. I became obsessed with the horrid condition, trawling the net for some miracle cure. I dabbled with steroid creams, but I really don't feel comfortable with them. I then went down the line of trying so many things for it, herbal, natural, bought a small Phillips blue TL01 light, dietary changes etc.....But I am now virtually clear. I know maybe this may not work for everyone, but none of what I am currently doing will hurt you either. So I concentrated on trying to make my body more alkaline, I reduced my alcohol & cheese intake, and completely stopped drinking milk, The first thing that enters my body each day is pure celery juice around 16 fl oz. , (just boil a whole celery chopped up and blend, keep it cool in the fridge) lasts for about 3 days. I then have a hot water with fresh lime juice, Lemon does the same. I try to have a serving of natural yoghurt with most of my meals. I also drink at least a litre of water throughout the day. I take 2 starflower oil capsules 1 in morning, 1 at night and 1 vitamin D3 capsule each day. I do use the light if any of the remaining scales look red. However My skin has cleared up amazingly I feel this summer I may go nuts and wear shorts again. I don't know why but I am certain the Celery juice is the biggest helper. I would love to hear that some of you guys try this and it works for you, It took about 5-7 months before I noticed the difference. Best of luck Aitch x

Hi Folks - to the question of "permanent solution" - I am fairly convinced that if it were practically possible to remain totaly (modern) dairy free - both practical and financial limitations deristricted.... (e.g. soya "milk" tastes bland & crap - buffalo milk butter & cheese (as permitted) tastes superb.... In my experience it is quite possible to become and remain psoriasis free... the problem is that it is very impractical & nigh on impossible to remain at zero intake of modern dairy products as are nutritionally distorted by modern man and technology.

My tips for healing, and it goes fast ! Go free from: Red Meat Meat Fish Chicken Eggs Sugar Wheat/Gluten "Nightshadow" Fruits/Vegetables DairyTry to get as Vegan as you can, AND you will see your body healing ! :)

I agee with you - what you put into your body makes a huge difference for all kinds of conditions ! I’ve been free from processed food, alcohol and I follow a vegan diet - I feel 20 years younger and my skin looks like new. I’ve made changes over the last five years - I gave things up gradually starting with meat and alcohol and progressing over time !

I was advised by my plasic surgeon to eat blueberries to minimize bruising and promote healing 2 weeks before the procedure. I have had psoriasis for 20 years, and recently on my hand, arm, scalp, and ears. In 3 weeks it has completely cleared and not returned. I eat one cup a day and may cut down, as one cup a day for 3-4 weeks completely cured me! I still can’t believe it, but have seen that someone else on another section of this forum also resolved his psoriasis with blueberries!

Looks like diet is the answer 👏🏻 Sea water is amazing for my skin - I’ll be in the sea in July when it’s warmer.

Hi everyone, thanks for all the above ideas. I've removed diary nearly completely from my diet - but sometimes I find I have eaten something with whey or lactose in it. At first the psoriasis went away, but now it is back again. I was eating more refined sugar to compensate for no icecream and milk chocolates. If I was to cut out refined sugar, could I have honey to sweeten things instead? This is really going to be difficult; I can see myself buying lots of dried fruit products!

Sugar is the hardest and I’m sure it plays a part in my flare ups.. I use date syrup or maple syrup mostly. I bake and there are some great low carb/sugar vegan recipes on google for those sweetie cravings. Also fruit berries with granola is nice baked as a crumble.
