Longtime pain sufferer here. Numerous types in numerous places.
I didn't realize, nor did docs help me realize that I have psoriasis.
I've had scalp inflammation for a long time, but didn't know about psoriasis until recently. I didn't have big patchy areas like they show. Anyways, it's due to leaky gut, and occurs with certain people with leaky gut - depends what's leaking - type of bacteria - which depends on the location in the intestines and what type of diet you have as well because meat-eaters have different gut bacteria populations than vegans (more of this one, less of that one).
Anyways, within only 2 WEEKS of doing all of the above, as well as having a good diet with plenty of good protein (mostly beans, peas, lentils - for me)
Aloe, Slippery Elm, Yarrow, Saccharomyces Boulardii, Turmeric
Now, a month into it, I might be doing even better (small broken area on head gone for now). I plan on going for at least 90 days, but maybe more even. No alcohol - I HAD TO stop a while back... That creates leaky gut...

I got 70% reduction in scalp inflammation in only 7 days with aloe vera powder. I just get the raw organic dried powder and mix about 1-2 teaspoons in a glass of water twice a day. I also drank yarrow tea.
I'm surprised glutamine isn't mentioned here. Supposed to heal the small intestine gut pretty quickly due to being a food for the cells in the small intestine. There can be some cancer concerns of taking glutamine supplementation though, so that's a consideration (perhaps use it only once now and then while doing some of your gut heal stack. If taking glutamine supplementation, turmeric and/or barberry tea can help minimize it's usage by cancer cells (as well as not having any sugar).
Cure (Thessaloniki - Greece) on 07/31/2024
I developed psoriasis on the left side of the scrotum, after wearing a very tight boxer for inguinal hernia for 5 days, that irritated the area with friction. Then every more or less 16 days, I developed the scale. Itchiness too.
I had this for about two to three months. With the first application of ichthammol ointment the symptoms started to subside. By using it every day for three months I was totally cured with no symptom at all. Then for three more months I used it every other day. Before two weeks the ointment finished and the psoriases hasn't come back at all.
Ichthammol may stain clothes but not permanently. There are also shampoos with tar and sulfur for psoriasis of the scalp.

In reading your post on psoriasis, I thought to mention a product that I have been using.
Although it treats my psoriasis within 6-8 weeks, new spots appear in different areas of my body. Ugh!
The product, which I purchase on Amazon is called Qicaogangmn Caoben Yijun Rugan.
It is a cream. You can look into the ingredients and perhaps find it useful in coming up with your own concoction??
I had my former dermatologist who is Asian look at the ingredients to make certain there were no steriods in it. He concluded there were not.
Good luck

I had itchy ankles that ruined sleep and scaly patches on my elbows I assumed was psoriasis that I treated with a few drops of DMSO mixed with a few drops of lavender and peppermint oil. This worked like crazy.
Strict Dietary Changes Got Rid of Chronic Psoriasis Scott Miller (Delray Beach, FL) on 07/11/2023
I remember the woman cutting my hair at age 14 telling me I had some redness on my scalp. That was the awful beginning. Turned out it was this condition called 'psoriasis'. I write this in quote marks because I don't believe anything (zero) BigPharma or these universities 'research' and write about this condition, especially that it's an 'autoimmune disease'. It is not.
Slowly but surely my condition worsened, but mostly on my head/scalp until my late 20s, possibly 30s. Then it started to spread. I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to the Dead Sea for 3 weeks to a month for therapy. Nothing beats the Dead Sea....IF you do it right. I would experience a good, solid 9 months to a year of remission afterwards. I always visited during the hottest months, aka 'off-season', prices were much less. But this is not why I'm posting today.
While staying at the Dead Sea, I made sure to get out to the solarium at daybreak, stay there until the sun set over the mountains, then return to grab something to eat and pass out in my room. The sun and heat make you very tired.
During these visits, I observed everything....specifically the behavior of the others that came to heal, especially the Europeans. For me, it was work and diligence. For them, it was just another holiday off work (paid for by their insurance) where they could party AND drink (alcohol) until the AM. In the solarium, you are naked. No clothing so the sun can heal you everywhere on your body. So you see who heals and who does not. Those partiers and heavy drinkers never healed. The slackers (late to the beach and early to dinner) never healed.
Fast forward to 2005. I am in FL and my condition has worsened. I weighed in the 260s and have scaly patches on my knees, elbows, forearms (bottom), all around my belly button, and still on my scalp, behind my ears, just terrible. No relief in sight. I used to think and say to family and friends, "How much would I pay to rid myself of this condition? Everything I have, then I'd start over."
I met a woman that said she could help me. By then I was so over having people give me their b.s. remedies that never worked, but I was still open-minded enough to try almost anything. She gave me a very, very specific diet and told me that she wanted me to follow it obsessively. No going off course. ONLY this diet. I read it. It was not easy. More important than what I could eat was what I could not eat. This is an exclusionary diet. Upon further reading, it made logical sense to me. After 90 days, I was P-free. Not a dot, not a single lesion anywhere. I joined a site called NPF, the National Psoriasis Foundation. Utter bullsh*t. I wrote something like 'Cured after 30 years!! ' They threw me off in a week because I was against ALL drugs and supplements. I had no chance.
Here are my findings, which are opposite of much of what's posted here and other places by P-sufferers:
No more sugar. Never again, not in any form. That includes 95% of all fruits. No more wheat or wheat family. Zero. No alcohol. No corn in any form, no dairy, no peanuts, walnuts, cashews. Nothing that can breed mold. No yeast or related.
Body Care. Is the itching driving you to rip your skin off? I use P73 oregano oil, rub it in, itch gone. If it's too strong and burns a bit, dilute with a bit of olive oil. Use it on your finger and toe nails. My hair/scalp? I seldom shampoo, but when I do, I just use a little bit of that Greek olive-oil bar soap that I shower with. Been using it since '05 and never looked back. Supplements? NOT a believer, so sorry. The more of these we put in our bodies, the more our liver has to work to process them and remove toxins. There is something called caprylic acid I took to help ward off yeast in my body. SWEAT as much as possible and only drink water. Squeeze lemon into your water, it's great. The more you sweat, the faster you will heal your body. Take before and after photos. I did not, I forgot, so guess what I have instead? I have these amazing 'scars' (not really scars) of dark pigmentation where all of my lesions were. Lesions gone, but these scars are outlined on my arms, belly, and legs. It's amazing. I always felt bad that I didn't have photos of BEFORE, but this is even better. I show them off to everybody. 90 DAYS and gone.
I am going to tell everyone reading this now that I have this diet so extremely down to a science, that I can actually bring on the lesions/scales whenever I want and then get rid of them at will. Bringing them out takes about 3-5 days after eating papaya, watermelon (both forbidden on this protocol) or a couple of pita (wheat is hands down worst), but it takes weeks to get rid of them. Here is something cool to know about the healing process. Whereas you would think that the lesions will start to get smaller from outside inward, it actually happens in reverse. Every lesion that healed on my body had a tiny dot start somewhere in the middle and move outward. MORE SWEAT, more healing. Soften your skin with coconut oil and throw away every other cream or 'moisturizer' (with nothing but harmful chemicals) out in your trash. They are poison.
I wish you luck and success. You must be diligent and not waver. This protocol had me clear in 75 to 90 days and it's OUT of my life now. This exclusionary diet will be easily memorized by you and will become second nature. You won't even think about it after a year or two.
Let me know how it goes. G-d bless everybody trying to get better.

After reading some comments in here I shampooed my hair a solution of borax and water and drank a mixture of borax, ACV and baking soda. I am totally cleared of flaking but my arthritis is still active. I have been clear for over ten years now. Occasions of itch at the flaking spot I will resume with one or two shampooing sessions. I am back to this page after so long for some other issue and wanted to contribute and thank this site for curing my flaking psoriasis.

Worked Temporarily
For me Apple cider vinegar and coconut oil only help for a little bit. Cracking and burning and itching drive me nuts and nothing seems to really help for any length of time. can go four weeks with splitting hands and peeling. I can’t use my hands to having four days of nice hands. I think the things I am going to try to do another cleanse and try to work on my liver and go back on keto and possibly work on my kidneys cause I’ve always had issues with my kidneys. Apple cider vinegar has the yeast from the mother and baking soda helps. So I’ll probably start bathing with baking soda and finishing with vinegar and then doing the olive oil again which seemed to help. The other thing that helps a lot are cold showers.. maybe that will help people I don’t know everybody’s different..

I am also drink baking soda in water or lemon water after meals to combat acidity. After drinking these for a few days I noticed that the swelling above my right knee went away after being swollen for over a year. I started doing this after a source stated that arthritis is caused by acidity.
I am also taking Bill Thompson’s Special Alkalizing Combo No. 1 in the morning and evening. You can do a search for this on this site. This Combo helps with fighting candida as well.
Thank you to everyone who responded to my request for simple meal ideas. I will certainly try what has been suggested. Also thank you for this site and all its contributors over the years. I have used many remedies for myself and my family with great results.
With all that going on in this world, I believe we need to start stocking up on our remedies, meds and also on food, etc.
Stay safe and be blessed!

My name is John.
Psoriasis appeared on my elbows, knees, wrists, ankles and on my face after a very serious automobile accident in 1979. I was very embarrassed by the patches of either very dry or red skin.
I started using a prescription from a dermatologist but I stopped because the patches appeared to be a much deeper red.
After many years of experimenting with over the counter products and some also from dermatologists, I saw a commercial on tv for Curel fragrance free lotion.
The commercial didn't speak about psoriasis. It was only focused on dry skin.
I remember a few years before reading a magazine article about psoriasis. It said it's always best to use products that are simple and more natural.
Once again I am thinking "What have I got to lose"?
I started using Curel Fragrance Free Lotion during the Winter of 2009
I would apply this lotion to all areas that have psoriasis patches before I left my home each morning and before I went to bed each night .
Please understand! I had either deep red patches of crusty patches of skin.
It did take me a week or two to control everything but I did.
I haven't thought about looking for anything more to control my psoriasis because I believe my skin looks good and there has never been any side effects since I started using Curel Fragrance Free Lotion twice each day.
You might want to test multiple fragrance free lotions to see which one works the very best for you!
I sincerely hope this will help many people!
God bless you all!

well I been dealing with psorasis for almost 10 ten years now. and its driving me crazy. so I think im having a throat, ears, and stomach problem. an infection I guess. a few months back I bought pepcid complete tablets and prilosec for heartburn(1 tablet a day) and after a few days I noticed the psorasis slowed down. kind of weird. so I did another colon cleanse and it looks like its slowly clearing again. but I'm still dealing with itchy throat and ears. ordered some stuff to deal with that. we'll see what happens.
Brandy (Florida) on 10/25/2021
I've had psoriasis since I was in middle school. I don't take medication, I don't drink and I eat pretty healthy so it's pretty well controlled. Occasionally I will still get a spot that pops up here and there.
Recently I was looking for a good vitamin C product to take in conjunction with my Vitamin D and zinc just for immune support. I happened across an article called The High Dose Oral Vitamin C Protocol for Cancer and Viral Infections on a site called Chris Beat Cancer. I read the article and figured if this guy beat cancer by taking high doses of vitamin C, surely it would work to strengthen my immune system.
I ordered 2 pounds of non GMO water soluble vitamin c in a fine powder form on Amazon. After about a month of following the protocol laid out on the Chris Beat Cancer site, my psoriasis is gone! What a pleasant surprise!

My daughter had (HAD) psoriatic red patches on her face, thigh, and arm. We tried many methods and of course, the DR did nothing. We did not want to introduce antibiotics only topical. We tried Retin-A and everything else in between. What finally took care of it was one or a combination of the following...
What really I believed helped after using the previous for about 1 to 2 weeks alternating was putting Elmer's glue on at night time which starves the area from oxygen. Also, Dog licks can help which my daughter said the dog liked to lick her arm.
Eucerin lotion if it gets too dry or itchy. Use sparingly so it can heal. Any q's please ask. Good vibes.

The burning itch was unbearable and my foot was swollen to the point it couldn't fit in my soft slip-on sandal plus it weeped plasma continually, so I had to wrap it. I went to a NATUREPATH CLINIC and got VIT C and H202 IV (Hydrogen peroxide) several days plus $300 worth of supplements for a detox cleanse.
Nothing worked my foot was still swollen and itchy ð...then upon waking, I started getting shooting pain and couldn't stand or walk for several minutes till veins expanded to receive blood flow. That night my foot tingled, I panicked, I read folks lost limbs when circulation is cut off to a limb. In middle of the night I got up and took tummeric and an aspirn. They helped with swelling and itching but in the morning I spit out blood from gums and I had blood blisters plus a large bruise on my arm.
What the heckâ¼ï¸ð Then I remembered that tummeric and aspirin are blood thinners and some of the supplements I was taking from the Natural clinic had curcumin in it which is also in tummeric so I had to stop the tummeric and aspirin.
I was out of options so the next morning I went running to Urgent Care and was given an antibiotic and a dreaded steroid (the reason I went to a natural clinic in the first place, to avoid steroids).
Well, the conventional doctor (a girl my daughter's age) assured me it was a low dossage for only 5 days to reduce swelling and prevent circulation issues), so, l I took the antibiotics and steroids as prescribed ð and my foot was almost back to normal âºï¸.
But after the meds ran out, my foot swoll up again and the burning itching returned. ð Now what?
Was I going to become dependent on antibiotics and steroids?! I had previously joined a natural health chat line on WhatsApp where someone posted the PDF of the book, "FORBIDDEN HEALTH" that's when I read Borax is a one of the many minerals in SEA WATERð§and how it use to be a natural occurring mineral found in rich soil where apples and other produce would have as much as 20mg and diseases caused by high acidity like arthritis, psoriasis, diabetes, etc., where RARE.
I was unsure of the amount I should take, (now I'll take the amount recommended here) so, I took an aspirin size pinch of Borax with a glass of water and within an hour the burning itching stopped and my foot seemed less bloated and dry.
I repeated it later in day when I felt the itching come back. The next day my foot was 2 sizes smaller ð².
I took it twice again, and I was blown away! Within 2 days the Borax had reduced the inflammation, stopped the unbearable burning itching, and stopped the weeping. Now, 4 days later my foot is the same size as my healthy foot, and no longer weeping ð...it's still healing of course.
Per labs at the clinic my thyroid is out of wack and I have candida. So, I will continue taking Borax as recommended here to clean my gut and continue healing my foot now normal in size except for a bit of red patches still in healing process, I'm delighted â£ï¸ð¤
