Brandy / Whisky and psoriasis
Posted Wed 28 Nov 2018 14.30 by Dr. Luke
I have mild psoriasis for the past few years. It used to exibit itself off and on. I could not relate it to winter, summer or such climatic changes. I was on treatment for this at Top hospitals and even Nature cure Clinics. Nothing worked. Since it continued to be mild, I dis-continued all the treatment. I tried in vain.to find out what triggers my psoriasis.
Accidentally I found that drinking whisky makes it worse.
(I am an occasional drinker, not a drunkard; just for information😆!)
But drinking Brandy reduces it. For about 2 weeks my symptoms disappear and then come back.
Is it something new or is it known ?

Hi Wendyloish,
Yes, you are right. Since Brandy went out of fashion, liquor companies are into adding more brands and flavours to whisky.
I was trying to find what triggers my psoriasis. Then I accidentally found this. Thats why I felt like sharing. Since each person is different, brandy may be of help only in my case.
Therefore, I will not ask any psoriasis patient to try Brandy or even whisky.

Hi wendyloish,
Insted of starting a new fashion with "" Brandy is dandy....."" let us stop drinking distilled spirits for a change. May be that could be better for many psoriasis patients.
However permit me ( only me ) to continue my research with more whisky. ( My daughter-in-law who is also a doctor asked me the other day " insted of DRINKING this damn thing, why don't to take bath in whisky ? Atleast this will not go into your stomach.)
