Apply topically, directly onto plaque, Tamanu oil or (Rosehip oil+Glyercin+E+RosemaryEO) or helps a lot!
Stronger treatment is to again, apply directly onto plaque, liquid micellized Vitamin A, 5000 IU in the form of "retinyl palmitate" or "vitamin A palmitate". On Amazon.com you could buy vitamin A palmitate, micellized. You might be able to find it at a health food store as well. Put a few drops directly on a small scaly spot at night and again in the morning to see if it helps. If it helps, try expanding to a bigger area.
For the arthritis and toe pain, I find avoiding ALL nightshade plants solves the problem! You'll find a lot of information about this online. Absolutely nothing with tomatoes, white potatoes, eggplant, and all peppers except black pepper. This means no paprika, no chili powder, no jalapenos, etc. Mayonnaise has paprika in it! Most processed foods have some, however slight, red or green pepper in them. I switched from tomato based sauces to Italian dressings and I mix plain yogurt with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt and black pepper for a Mexican flavor.
I also don't eat any preservatives or anything artificial. Yep, I pretty much make all my own seasonings, sauces, dressings, desserts. I also try to stay alkaline. 1-2 Alfalfa capsules helps alkalize after too much grain/meat. Also, I got colitis (bleeding colon) from the Clindamycin antibiotic that didn't cure my urinary tract infection it was suppose to cure (but that's another story). I stopped eating gluten to help my colon heal and now I just continue to not eat gluten. Gluten may increase your arthritis symptoms - you'd have to eliminate it from your diet and test that out for yourself.
The disease is mystifying doctors. They think it has to do with the immune system overreacting. Getting rid of the food triggers can help immensely! There is a whole class of "anti-nutrient" foods. If you find what I am suggesting helps tame your symptoms, you may want to go even further and google "anti-nutrients".
Multiple Remedies
As for topically, I put either coconut oil or avocado oil directly on it. I also started using a topical from the marijuana dispensary which the ingredients are all natural and you can make at home if wanted (rosemary, cocoa butter, shea butter, cannabis infused avocado oil, jojoba oil, primrose oil, olive oil, hemp oil, and an essential oil)
Sorry for the long post, but I am very fascinated and intrigued that I am coming to find I am able to cure myself, when I have been suffering for 10 yrs. It definitely takes patience and dedication to see results, but once you have your Psoriasis controlled for the first few months with a strict diet, it will be easier and won't need as much maintenance down the road.
Anti-Candida Protocol
★★★★★
Syntol is also a useful enzyme/probiotic protocol and its successful use will depend on many factors -- stage and virulence of the candida infection, immune system health, diet etc. The enzymes in Syntol will aid digestion and will help to dissolve and digest candida biofilms and the probiotics will help to kill the candida in order to return the gut back to normal health. So this protocol works fairly well if you only have candida in your intestines or just locally. But if your son has a systemic candida infection throughout his body, then you might need more than Syntol to get rid of the candida and psoriasis.
For a serious systemic candida infection, here is the strategy I use in my book:
* Anti-Candida and Anti-Pathogen Protocols
* Anti-Biofilm Protocols
* Alkalizing Protocols
* Essential Detox Protocols
* Liver Support Protocols
* Vitamin and Mineral Support (Immune System Support)
* The Health Defence Diet
To help you more to determine whether your son has candida, here is a simple questionnaire that will help you:
Also, try using borage oil topically on your son's psoriasis. This should reduce the itching and will also have other beneficial effects.
Anti-Candida Protocol
Do nite shade vegetables really play a part in all of this?
We no longer have any of these but really when it comes down it it are they even the problem?
We have cut out dairy, gluten, red meats, and have cut out all junk food. Eric has been eating a LOT of fruit. He is always hungry and we felt fruit was a better alternative than a lot of other items (mistake I think). We drink either almond milk or rice milk. No coffee but we do have green tea with ginger grated in it.
I appreciate any comments you may have Bill. Thanks
Coal Tar Ointment, White Vinegar
★★★★☆
My experience is to stop its growth at its onset. I use an ointment with a 2% coal tar. I also use white vinegar to remove the scaly skin if there is any, before applying the ointment. Calamine lotion can help if you suffer from the terrible night-itch.
Key point is, keep your skin moistened at all times (glycerine is a good choice after shower) and avoid going to places with extreme dry weather. I would wear long sleeves shirts and trousers if I have to visit those places.
Best!

So Far...
2 epsom salt baths
4 doses of ACV in filtered water
600 IU of Vitamin E
Not going to have a drink until it's gone and lightened up on the smoking.
I am watching the smallest spots disappear before my eyes right now. All scaling has dissappeared as did all raised skin. Will keep going with the above treatment. No doubt that the ACV is working because I have done the other things above many times in my life and never this fast of an improvement.
--------------------
UPDATE... Day 6
I added Baking Soda to the ACV/Water and it seems to be making a difference. Also I have been applying the ACV topically once a day since I started and now I am starting to see a rapid improvement. The spots are starting to get smaller now.
Also, I have been testing my pH level as well. With all of the treatment I am doing plus eating like a rabbit, my pH is still somewhat low (mid-high 6 range) given all of the stress of the move and everything. I would like to get it in the mid-high 7 range and I think at that level I will start to see a fast improvement. Just a theory though
I have had 1 beer and still smoking a bit less than normal. Mixing with eCigs.
It does seem that certain parts of the body are reacting faster than others. I believe this has to do with how many (much) toxins have built up in those areas. The youngest spots are leaving first and the oldest spots are sticking around but starting to see progress.
Time for the official move now. Will update afterwards.
He had retired near where l live at 96!
He checked pH of humans and animals for some 50 years. He says urine pH is key. It should be acid around 6.5-8 not alkaline. If it was alkaline that person or animal was sick or they became ill later. Use pH tape sold online.
Blood as it should be is slightly alkaline or around 7.1-2
You Will have to read his amazing books for details and his discoveries. Always use a straw and rinse mouth as some enamel could be affected by the acetic acid. Start low dose then increase a little.
Note: The moderator section wisely shows a very good sound approach to using ACV. Or any place they advise on remedy usage, etc.
They have vast experience so read their recommendations carefully to get a good experience and result.

Gluten Free, Tar Ointment
However, recently I have gone gluten free (for my digestive system) and it has been three weeks and I feel better. A WEEK ago I started putting a tar ointment on (Psoriacin) and I am almost completely clear! I had also been taking coconut oil everyday, but I really think putting the tar ointment on before bed, and shampooing in the morning with a salicydic acid shampoo REALLY helped me. I am almost completely clear! I hope this helps any of your struggling with this condition!

I just finished putting more glue on my elbow just in case, and a lot on my scalp. We will see in the morning. I hope this works.
Gluten Free
Multiple Remedies
By summer, my symptoms were completely gone and have never returned..
I no longer take Essiac (which I eventually found in pill form, making it much easier to take) and haven't needed to use the Apple Cidar Spray in forever. I was still soaking in salt water daily up until November.. I will return to that once spring hits (my excercise pool is in an unheated room). But I do still use lavender/chamomile body butter every morning and evening.
I have to believe it was the combo of these four remedies that finally did the job, since I had tried lots of other remedies prior to trying these four items.
I'm convinced, and my psoriasis free skin is all the proof I need! Natural remedies ROCK!!!
Topical D-3
★★★★★
Well, I tried it. This is my 5th dose or so, and it has really taken the Psoriasis down, there are patches of more normal looking skin inside the Psoriasis! IT took away almost all the scales so its almost smooth skin now. It used to be bleeding, scaling, and really gross.
I used Vitamin D3 gelcap 2000 IU once daily!!
This could help tons of people and be an alternative to Steriod Creams!

Apple Cider Vinegar
I was just curious if your psoriasis became much worse the first week of using ACV? Mine is soooooo red and flaky after a week of use and I am just wondering if this is normal or maybe this remedy is just not for me.
Thanks!
Zinc
ZINC SUPPLEMENTATION
Your skin contains one fifth of your body's zinc supply. Rats and mice that are deficient in zinc develop a skin condition called keratogenesis that is very similar to human psoriasis (Hoffer and Walker, Orthomolecular Nutrition, p 156-157). Zinc deficiency in humans is the rule, not the exception. The US RDA for zinc is only 15 milligrams a day, and yet the average American takes in even less than that. (Williams, Nutrition and Diet Therapy, 7th ed., page 253) In spite of this, it is most uncommon to find either dietitians or doctors ever recommending a supplement of this mineral.
Research has shown that supplements of zinc are safe up to about 500 mg. daily. A more sensible daily dose of 50 mg to perhaps may be maintained for as long as is desired. A good multiple vitamin along with this will provide some balancing copper, as will (believe it or not) the copper water pipes in your home.
The "amino acid chelated" form of zinc ('chelated zinc') is better tolerated and better absorbed than zinc sulfate or other inorganic forms of the mineral.
Cold Showers
★★★★★
This is all probably due to the heat dissolving & removing the natural oils from OP's skin, which would get splashed onto the cooler shower walls & not get rinsed away thoroughly by the hot water, perhaps even becoming firmer in that cooler environment.... HOT showers cause DRY skin & other problems!
So, the cold water doesn't remove near as much skin oil -if any- which had a noticeably beneficial effect on OP's skin. Win Win!!! Warm & cold showers are therefore much more healthy to take!
