I was wondering how you are doing with the psoriasis? If I understand correctly, you began to see significant results within 3 or 4 weeks using your Hesperidin protocol, and were 100% clear of psoriasis at the end of 2017, since you began using Hesperidin orally and opening capsules and putting some in your lotion at the beginning of 2017. Is this correct? Are you still clear, and if so, have you been able to reduce how much Hesperidin you take and how often you apply the lotion?
Forgive me, but I've been reading so much, not just on this site, I'm worn out trying to learn how to deal with this. Your protocol seems to get the fastest results, although I'm also going to try a couple some slippery elm because I can see where I may need to heal my gut also.
I've only had psoriasis for about a year, but it's moderate to severe.
So this is what I've ordered. Hesperidin capsules. 500 mg, but it's not the brand that you used, as those were not available. I have it written down how you mixed it with your lotion. I have some Shikai Borage Therapy, so I'm just going to use that to mix the Hesperidin in, and then I ordered some Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin capsules also. I don't have Jojoba oil, and didn't order that. What I do have is Borage oil and Avocado oil. I'm leaning toward adding the Avacado oil to the mix, as these lotions seem to be thin, and just seem to sit on the top of my skin, (those plaques), unlike ointments that do pentrate my skin, but don't seem to make much difference. (With the exception of Chickweed salve which is very soothing, but on the other hand, it's a 4 oz tin, and I could go through a tin every other day trying to use it from the top of my ribcage to the top of my feet. Pretty expensive).
Is there anything else I'm missing in your protocol?
I'm not trying to be difficult. Again, I'm worn out trying to see how to tackle this psoriasis issue. I did go to a dermatologist, but I'm just so leery of corticosteroids, as I had to use another corticosteroid for an entirely different issue, and it only brought temporary relief. Not only that, but he prescribed 3 tiny tubes (15 mg each), instead of the tub he said he was going to order, told me to use them from top to bottom, and each tube only lasted 2 days. It was insane.
Additionally, I have a family member that is recovering from a health issue, and I haven't taken the time to focus on clearing up this psoriasis. For the most part, all I've done for months is sit, read and pick at these stupid plaques until they bleed, while I'm trying to figure out how to tackle this. If I'm missing anything about your protocol, I'd appreciate it if you could point that out to me. I just wanted to try your protocol first, before any others that people have said worked for them, (and hopefully last) as it seems to be the easiest, with the fastest results.

We're wondering where you purchase your indigo naturalis? your link on amazon no longer works and I've found a bunch of others but they aren't "shade dried" blue... they're green. We've bought the Now Pine and Xylitol.... just want to get this last piece of your remedy to start. My 14 year old daughter has plaque psoriasis and we've tried sooo many cures including juicing celery for 45 days in addition to a slew of supplements (all that you mentioned in your original post). We've seem some improvement with black seed oil but we're excited to try your solution.
Side note: we called a Chinese herbalist acquaintance to purchase it and she recommended against it....

I altered the lotion slightly and added neem powder not the oil, with the indigo powder and applied to scalp. Cetaphil is good because it has ceradimides which are healing to skin. Do not be alarmed at the dark blue color, this will go away when rubbed in.
I am taking the NOW pine bark extract three times and day.
I added one capsule of the NOW to the pine bark extract to desert Essence tea tree shampoo, this will turn the shampoo to a dark color, do not be alarmed.
Herbal Essence white grapefruit and mint conditioner which does not promote malasseszia yeast scalp issue I added a dropper full of neem essential oil. Neem is ultra stinky - like garlic gone bad. If this is still not masked add peppermint essential to the conditioner.
Scalp has improved 98 per cent in two days treatment.
Will update.

I saw your post above. I have also read on Earth Clinic that it can be caused by Candida. Do you believe this to be true. I began having gut issues after repeat antibiotic for ear infections. That was 12 years ago. Now all my skin is changing to dry, thicker, darker. Is this what you experience?

Art, do you have any comments or research re EGCG?

Today the indigo arrived and I've accumulated all products mentioned as being beneficial by you. Would like to hear an update on how you are doing with your own psoriasis at this time. Your last post was in November.
Won't go into my particular issues, but the EC email containing the link to your protocol was timely, to say the least. My fingers are crossed that this will help my personal psoriasis issue.
Thank you.

One thing about my psoriasis that I had forgotten to mention is that I also had psoriasis on/in my nails and nail beds. Not everyone who has psoriasis has nail involvement too, but if you do, you know how much further it adds to the burden of this disease and psoriasis of the nails is extremely difficult to treat and takes much longer than just clearing skin plaques because nails grow relatively slowly. On that note, I am happy to report that this protocol has cleared my nails too! I thought that I would never have normal looking nails again because nothing I had ever previously tried for psoriasis had helped my nails much at all! This is just fantastic!
It is odd, but the types of psoriasis I had, pretty much went away in the opposite order that they came. I got plaque and nail psoriasis first and they were the last to go. The inverse psoriasis and guttate psoriasis came next and they went away second. The erythrodermic psoriasis came last and was the first to go.
The hyperpigmentation serum experiment is continuing to show slow and gradual progress and I will update on that as I detect changes.
