I am glad to see that we agree that psoriasis is a autoimmune system
malfunction (this has been hidden for too long). This is were the
mystery of psoriasis should be taken seriously " why has your immune
system failed" for one I myself doubt whether l ever meet any
sufferer whom won't prove to be a celiac (intolerant to gluten). But
there can be many other reasons why the immune system isn't coping,
It is common for HCV (hepatitis C Virus) sufferers to end up having
Psoriasis. Hence the importance of knowing,
Why the immune system isn't coping should be taken far more
seriously.
There is really no mystery as to the formations of psoriasis itself
and hasn't been since 2002. What a lot of people don't understand is
the nature of acrylamide, which is to bind (That is why it is used in
so many industrial applications). As explained prior in last post
acrylamide-calcium protease. Process foods should be avoided not only
because of what you write chemicals, additives, etc. Yes the
additives are the main culprits of psoriasis ie Food acid, citric
acid, ascorbate acid which are in over 90% of foods.
I do address the lessening of loads on liver by one removing the
processed foods, exercise which is often missed, use natural products
for washing etc, most important one of nature most precious gift
water. Questioning many psoriasis sufferers their intake of water is
dismal some believe it not all intake of liquids coffee etc.
Organic Foods l also say are best,l think you will find that we do
agree on a lot of issues.
So if you do go to "Psoriasis Is Avoidable" MSN group site you will
see that is what l do advocate.

In regards to Vitamin supplements (l will expand on this so all whom
are reading can understand why you are so keen on these supplements)
Provex Plus Grape Skin Extract, Bilberry and Ginkgo Biloba to the
grape seed extract. The Grape Skin increases the capacity and
function of the anti-inflammatory function, the Ginkgo Biloba
increases memory and the Bilberry improves blood flow to the eyes,
Bioflavinoid.,( Citrin, Vitamin P)
A vitamin that can maintain the resistant of cell, capillary walls
to permeation.
I say why not have these things in pure form as nature intended
Unfortunately the brands l have come across if you read labels have
added calcium.
Oh yes I use Melapower great stuff for cleaning especially stains
in the kids clothes.

represents an "all or none" phenomena which is dangerous. Given the
autoimmune nature of psoriasis it is only common sense to do things
to increase the strenght of ones' immune system. Therefore, I believe
the strongest solution is to mix diet with supplements. For example,
I take ProvexPlus, a strong bioflavinoid with the majority component
grapeseed/skin that has not gone any fermintation. This has done
wonders for all of my autoimmune conditions. In addition, I do eat
pure foods - non-processed foods. However, I must stress the need for
nutritional suppliments to strengthen the immune system.

I use Melapower which is free of toxic chemicals. The difference is
tremendous.
