PSORIASIS

    Psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent disease of the skin that affects up to 3% of Americans. Dry, well-circumscribed, silvery, scaly patches of various sizes characterize it. The patches can vary in severity from one or two lesions to a Widespread dermatosis. The cause is unknown but it appears to be related to inadequate detoxification, possibly through the kidney or the alimentary tract. Thick scaling is probably due to an increased rate of epidermal cell growth. This cosmetic deformity proves socially embarrassing although it is not contagious.

    Psoriasis usually involves the scalp and the upper surface of the extremities, particularly the elbows, knees, back, and buttocks. The nails, eyebrows, armpits, abdomen, or groin region may also be affected. Occasionally the illness is generalized.
    The lesions are more sharply localized and usually heal without scarring. Hair growth does not appear to be affected. Extension of lesions sometimes produces large plaques up to one-half inch thick. Nail involvement may resemble fungal infections, causing a separation of the nail with thickening, discoloration, and debris under the nail plate. Allergies, stress, and environmental sensitivities should be evaluated. Nutritional needs tend to be elevated.
    * Bathe using Antibacterial Liquid Soap and soak in Renew Bath Oil for 30 minutes each night. Pat dry. Do not rub. Apply Renew Intensive Skin Therapy to the scaly areas. Use T36-C5 on newly inflamed or red areas. Cover the area with MelaGel. Daily sunlight exposure for 15 to 20 minutes is helpful. Practice relaxation. Eat healthy food. Take the Vitality Pack with Oligofructose Complex, CellWise, ProVex and/or ProVex-Plus as directed, and drink 2 to 6 cups of Melakuca Herbal Tea daily to help detoxify. It has also been suggested that you dab straight Nature's Cleanse on a small area of the psoriasis. If it does not turn red, repeat several times. Consult your health care provider for further advice.
