Alkaline Diet
Can anyone give me an answer what to put on skin to stop the burn. Please only comment if you have dealt with this before. I also put probiotic on it with no help. I am very smart, have done a ton of reading, just can't seem to locate any valuable info on how to alleviate this. Thanks.

Hey there Bradshad,
From RI...
Re the terrible itching problem.
Here's a guess for you Bradshad; I'm thinking that given your successful adherence to the alkalizing diet and the problem still persists, maybe the issue is not acidic/alkalizing only.
Here are some (I'm brain storming now)...here are some possibilities;
1. You have a viral infection...specialty virus effecting an organ in the system that can produce such skin surface outcomes. So as a presumption that such is a possibility I'd be on colloidal silver for a month to test such a possibility. Three tablespoons twice daily on empty stomach.
2. You've been poisoned. I don't mean poison as in someone trying to kill you, but too much of some toxic substance or an allergic reaction to something. (google "70 causes to skin itching" and you'll find pictures plus conditions that could give you a clue. (You're not an outdoors guy are you?...Lyme possibilities? Spider bites?) I thinking SOMETHING else is going on with you. Think back to when this condition started...really the first onset...then go back six months or a year...did anything happen that might be a clue to what is happening BEFORE onset of your symptoms.)
3. You have a serious food sensitivity...normal ones are wheat/potatoes/beans...that would be a typical "carb" metabolism problem. I had to go to a changed died (at my rather advanced age...bummer! ) Try getting off those and by all means go to a Live Cell Microscopy expert and get your blood tested. Most of them do a food tolerance test. I have a great one in SC I go to. If your carbs are not absorbing then alkalizing can help but your system is STILL exploding. I went through this. Skin irritation...the works until the food sensitivity was dealt with. I'm also now on mega enzymes with EACH meal. The result was nearly immediate.
4. Now, as to what to do right now, try the following...On parts of your body experiment with:
...a solution of Borax and water. Take one tablespoon in a cup of warm water and dissolve the Borax (as in 20 Mule Team Borax)...I just wrote a post on EC on how I shampoo my hair with that solution...it even drips down into my eyes without harm or stinging. I let it get into ears and rub eye brows with it. Very soothing. I do that once or twice a week.
...also consider topical aloe vera GEL. I know you mentioned you'd tried it but I mention the gel as it seems to really work well; better than the liquid for (burning) issues.
....I presume you do not have a stomach ulcer. If you do, that could be contributing to the problem.
....Try this on a bit of your skin ...take a teaspoon of baking soda in water and make a paste out of it...apply to worst area of outbreak. Leave the "cake" on for twenty minutes. If improved, expand the area of application.
I have a few other ideas but don't want to overwhelm you. Please write back and tell us about what might have preceded your condition. And if any of the topical helps gave you any success in relief.
Don't over look the real possibility of infection/food sensitivity etc. Colloidal Silver can work wonders if your situation is an infection. But you must stick to the protocol. Also make sure your sinuses are clear. A long lasting sinus infection can indicate you have a standing systemic infection, complicating your alkalizing attempts.

Hi Dave,
Just read your comment and want to thank you for being so generous with your thoughts, which seem very sound to me. I do not have psoriasis, but my skin is unhealthy and I have had chronic lyme deep in my body and brain, and also have researched that chonic lyme is because of EBV- so the viral connection as well. Thanks again.

Thank you for this post. I have psoriasis at 71-years old on both elbows. Im an otherwise fit and vigorous, healthy sugarless-no gluton, person, lol, who is at my ideal weight and taking lots of supplements and in good health. In the last two months, My elbows are suddenly on fire with a horrific itch and now the skin is thickening in those places. It comes on at certain times of the day. I have no clue other than maybe this is a detox from the thyroid meds I took for 15 years that I have recently weaned myself from. (Hashimotos) Thanks for writing in. I'm going to try the borax and aloe for relief.

Cecilia, hi. Would you be open to some changes in your protocol?
First, besides gluten-free, cutting out all wheat and wheat-related (cousins of wheat) products....
Nothing with 'ose' at the end: sucrose, lactose, glucose, etc.
Cutting down on too many supplements that overload your liver to process might help, too.
No yeast or anything related to yeast.
Carbs are sugar, so I would stay away from that list I see online all the time about white carbs: no rice, sugar, bread, pasta, potatoes. Eating some of these foods is the same an eating sugar out of a bag, no difference.
Organic coconut oil deeply massaged into your elbows after a shower when your pores are open.
P73 Oregano Oil is a must, but you need to try a little bit first to make sure you can tolerate the strength. If it burns a bit, you can dilute with a few drops of olive oil. This has effectively and completely killed the itch during flare-ups and is a wonder 'drug'. If and when you become brave enough, a couple of drops under your tongue everyday will help kill what's in your body causing this. I used to pay $60 for 1oz back in the day, but I see it out there for much less cost today. The price doesn't matter if it works and relieves. You cannot put a price on your health.
Limit dairy as much as possible, again dairy turns to sugar via carbs.
For psoriasis, what we put into our body is more important than what we put ON our body. If we are eating the wrong food/s, nothing we put on topically will matter, it's just a waste. Also, don't put anything on your skin that you can't put in your mouth and ingest. I suggest tossing any and all topical ointments with brand names, creams, salves, etc. Worthless and full of chemicals.
Nobody knows your body more than YOU do, so see which foods are most tolerable and stick with those only to avoid these terrible flare-ups.
I'd love to know if any of these suggestions work for you.

I have the same problem as you. I used a Zinc spray with Echinacea & Elderberry on the itching and got instant relief. If you look for it in health store, it is a throat spray very effective when you feel a tickle in your throat. I am going to also try Bill's candida protocol to try and get rid of this problem once and for all. I had gotten rid of same minor skin problem a few years ago by taking oil of oregano capsule, 2 three times a day, 16 ozs of green juice. I also only ate romaine lettuce salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, etc.) all day. By the way, I know that I am allergic to a lot of foods. Hope this helps.

Hi,
Certainly a very annoying problem to be dealing with.
Here is the thing. Psoriasis is a stubborn beast that just does not answer to many things at all. If the P is in an aggressive state then im sorry to say I have yet to find any natural solution.
The whole diet thing is largely a scam or affiliate marketing type thing, however a good diet is obviously still very important. I just have yet to notice any real difference with the P in regards to diet.
The only thing I have found to work on the skin portion is a 50/50 mix of glycerin and witch hazel, and it comes with some compromises. It can give me some relief for a few hours to help me get some things done, but it will raw the skin out and cause some problems, but it does tend to tame the itch a little bit. It's a catch 22 as it seems everything is with Psoriasis.
If its in certain places you have to check for a fungal infection first. After that, slowly ramping up some more toxic drugs will ultimately bring you relief, however they do come with compromises. I ultimately found relief with some coal tar and some salicylic acid, HOWEVER, my body became toxic and the problem ultimately reared its head elsewhere, so ultimately a very compromised solution.
Lest we forget with the P, the problem is happening inside the body, so toxic drugs to alleviate just push the problem inside more and toxify the body, but if a real bad aggressive itch then if not fungal on top of it, there truly is little other way right now.
Sadly all these diet fads and crazy cures are nothing more then affiliate marketing money making lying scams preying on the desperate to make some money. Its a pathetic business but is what it is.
I have found a good mix of things in a bath can provide some relief, but as far as like a cure cure, it doesnt exist, I'm sorry to say.
Good luck with it. Its truly an awful disease with nearly no hope of any long term positive result from anything.
JSG: Your honesty has got you far, but not far enough in the effort for a cure. Like most all chronic or progressive diseases, it becomes mandatory to fathom the very root causes since treating the symptoms isn't working.
In my history and research, Psoriasis is oftentimes caused by Liver dysfunction (this is the focal point of toxicity you noted). So, first thing is do a Gallbladder Cleanse. Next, take an herbal combination of Milk Thistle/Artichoke/Turmeric, plus daily ACV for optimal gallbladder and digestive function. A Colon Cleanse may also be necessary.

If one hasn't a gallbladder, what do you suggest? Having begun the anti-candida diet and complementary vitamins/minerals about 2 weeks ago - and then introducing diatomaceous earth - I'm now in the midst of a healing crisis. Psoriasis has broken out in a vengeance!
My lymph nodes are swollen; ears itch and burn so much that I can't sleep on either side; break-out in the vaginal area makes both sitting and walking uncomfortable - and a boil seems to be growing there, as well. I itch all over, especially at night, and coconut oil seems to help. Epsom salt baths provide short-term relief, and I just applied some raw shea butter, which actually seems to be doing a better job. (I didn't have any cocoa butter as per another post.) I dropped my DE back down to 1 teaspoon in the morning and dropped it altogether yesterday and today but am not sure that this is the right approach. Perhaps just "suffering through it" is? I don't feel comfortable ingesting Lugol's iodine but am painting it on the soles of my feet. When I applied it to my stomach, it also itched like crazy.
Ah, the games candida loves to play .... Thanks in advance for any edge over it you might offer!

Before doing a liver cleanse it is highly recommended that you do a thorough colon cleanse. If not then when you do the liver cleanse it backwashes into the colon and then this re-pollutes the liver and then the cycle repeats.

Aloe vera, coconut oil and almond oil are all great for psoriasis. I use a ready made cream by mama nature specifically for psoriasis that contains all of these ingredients but I suppose you could get a recipe on the web that would show you how to combine these and make your own. Psoriasis runs in my family and I got it after suffering from stress. This cream has controlled the itching and has taken away a lot of the unsightly scales and redness that covered my arms and legs.

So I tried Aloe Vera Gel, completely soaking my hair and scalp twice each evening and the scaling is completely gone now which is just the third night, still using the "blue" shampoo in the mornings just encase so I don't get any snow on my black uniform. The redness is still easy to see but I'm hoping over time this too will ease up, but I wanted to let anyone else out there know that the Aloe does help alot.

My scalp psoriasis started making me insane. It only recently started after having psoriasis in my ears for years. A friend suggested psoriasis shampoo from Amazon. I did a search and didn't order the one she suggested but found one from Taiwan that was highly rated, I decided to try. It's spendy but I think a lot of other countries are ahead of us in research and development of more natural remedies. Long story short, I tried it and the reviews didn't lie. The itching stopped almost instantly. A day later, there is still itching on my neck, below the hairline, but not as bad. This is with one application, I feel confident it will continue to improve with more applications. If anyone wants to try it, it's a "scalp purifying" shampoo in a black bottle. There is still a very little habitual urge to scratch but if I ignore it, it goes away. Again, only one application.

Please look up on herbal legacy.com and follow the Natural Procedures for Systemic Yeast Overgrowth and Leaky Gut Syndrome. For Intestinal Sweep I used Oil of Oregano with Carvacol (80%) Properties. You can pretty well substitute other brands for products listed. Just compare ingredients. The Lower Bowel Formula is a bowel cleanse. After I finished the procedures, I stayed on high doses of Oil of Oregano spread throughout the day. (I took 2 capsules every one to two hours while I was up) I am also using it on the scalp. Also find other candida cleanse products to alternate with the Oil of Oregano after 3 weeks. Then get back on it. It took away the itch and my skin is clearing. During the procedures I only ate Vegetables, nuts and seeds as recommended. Tough bit necessary. No sugar! I have struggled with skin issues mainly due to allergies and eating sugars. Learned my lesson and eating better now.

Hi Susan,
I use Hope Relief Shampoo and would not be without it these days (Australian brand).
It has almost completely cured the Dreaded Itch and, what is more, I don't need to wash my hair nearly so often these days. As I recall, it is pretty natural in its make-up.
I apply a small quantity straight onto the wet scalp and work it in thoroughly.
You need to leave it on for a few minutes and then wash it/rinse it off thoroughly afterwards.
You will need to have a few goes at this before lasting results will become evident possibly, depending on the severity of the "itch".
You may (or may not) need the conditioner that compliments the shampoo. If so, put on the scalp after rinsing off the shampoo-then rinse again..
Good luck and we would appreciate feedback from you.
Cheers,
Michael from Down Under

Hello Gail,
Yes, Hope's Relief shampoo is a wonder that I wrote about on this Site a while ago now: I am glad that you are having success with it. The dreaded itchy scalp is held at bay with Hope's.
The conditioner they put out offers additional protection but I get by without it.
I don't need to shampoo as often either.
Unfortunately, it does not seem to readily lather in our water, does it lather in yours OK?
I still use it though, as it trumps all others I have tried - natural too, which is a plus.
I also use a 50/50 spray of ACV and H2O and leave on to soak for a while after the shampooing.
Malcolm Harker Herbals stock a skin, itch remover (again an NZ product) which is effective.

Hello Gail,
I have been wondering how you have been getting on with the Psoriasis issue?
Here are some oils that you could consider incorporating into your diet in small quantities or utilizing in a salve.
My two favourites at the moment are Hemp Seed Oil and Coconut Oil.
Most people are aware of the many virtues of Coconut Oil and it can also be used as a carrier oil for other products for treating the skin. It is soothing for skin conditions. I find the smell very pleasant. I sometimes use it for "Oil Pulling" (see this Site for more info. on that). Use extra- virgin cold-pressed etc. You probably know the drill.
A bottle of Hemp Seed Oil or Flax Oil is usually on the dinner table and we take a drizzle of it with our meal whenever we remember, having faith that it will deliver Linolenic acid and the Omegas 3 and 6, as well as some fatty acids, reputedly able to support suppleness of hair and skin.
Whilst not aspiring to win any beauty contest, the skin tends to dry out a bit as we age and our climate can be harsh on the skin, especially as we tend to spend a lot of time outdoors. It has been claimed that HSO is an effective salve for treating conditions such as Psoriasis, Eczema, and Acne.
Avocado Oil Can be used as a moisturizer and can repair / heal skin. It has five Vitamins, as well as Omega 3 potassium and folate.
Almond Oil protects and nourishes skin, has fatty acids, Vitamins E and K, as well as antioxidants.
Zinc is required for more tasks in the body than any other substance (and I thought it was Magnesium! ) and yet is quite deficient in NZ soils. That's the bad news but the good news is that women need less Zinc than men! Someone I know resolved a long-standing, red nose issue in reasonably short order with a tiny application of topical Zinc (and Castor Oil) ointment to the affected area on a regular basis. There is a test for this - talk to the pharmacist near you.
Another, often overlooked trace mineral, is Selenium, which is also lacking in NZ soils (most Americans get enough from their diet apparently). This one is also necessary for Psoriasis control and skin elasticity. Applying Selenium products to the skin can fix psoriasis and dandruff of the scalp. Low Selenium can be a factor in some cancers and in Arthritis suffering.
The skin, being our largest organ, really ought to have more attention paid to it. It is a bit like your car: we don't attend to its maintenance very well until something goes wrong!!
Gail- let us know how you are progressing please - it may assist others too!
Cheers from somewhere Down Under.

Boric acid USP l have read alleviates psoriasis. Soak a cotton ball dab on affected areas.l would say dab on up to three times a day.
As to a tea Cats claw from Peru only as their variety has more bio activity Wonderful for immune system. Amazon World Botanical's. Works well in a mist bottle so mist on face, hair/ scalp with clean hands rub in. Mist on psoriasis affected areas gently rub on.
Actually any skin problem. Drink the tea spring water no R/O (hydrogen bond water Ellis Water best eBay has it)twice a day AM/ PM.
A man called me years ago. He had stage 4 liver cancer. He was entering a university program. Intensive chemo where everyone had hair loss and expectorated, etc. He ordered the Cats claw tea. Did not hear from him for quite some time.
Long story short -he called me -5 years in remission; only one who didn't lose his hair and never got sick! Drs. saw this then privately had each patient add Cats claw to their protocol! Works.
So if it can do that let's see how it handles the immune system relative to psoriasis!
Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil
★★★★★
I have therefore had to rely on natural remedies for the face and lips. Aloe Vera applied to the face instantly gave relief from the itch but it made the skin dry and tight. I followed this with pure coconut oil. Between the two, my face has cleared completely in 6 days while my body is still slowly and nowhere near effectively being treated by steroids. I am also taking ACV and dandelion capsules for the liver, but if they were the major remedy I would have seen better results across my entire body. So for me the answer seems to be a combination of aloe vera gel and pure coconut oil. What a blessing! And I learned about it just from this site. Thank you all.

Anti-Candida Protocol
I have ordered your book, Killing Candida Sweetly, just waiting for it to arrive via mail.
My son has had Psoriasis for the past 3 years and is dealing with a breakout at this time. We are going with the thoughts that he has gut issues. Have just started taking Syntol (there were a couple of postings that were positive regarding Syntol on this site). He is putting apple cider vinegar (with Mother) in his water and also ingesting coconut oil.
I am looking forward to reading how you dealt with your issues of Candida and Psoriasis...hopefully my son will have success in ridding himself of this terrible disease.

Dianne...Thank you for buying my book on candida which will hopefully help you to both understand as well as help to cure your son's psoriasis problems. When I had candida I had skin problems which also included psoriasis, eczema and jock itch. When I eventually cleared the candida from my body, all these skin problems just disappeared so I now regard these skin problems as merely symptoms of my own candida problem.
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.

Thanks for the reply Bill. The protocol to use is very easily laid out to follow. Hope my son decides to go this route. His flare up is very bad right now and we do have an appt with DERM just in case intervention is needed. His flare up began in April and has spread like wild fire.
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
(Sanfernando, Philippines)
06/27/2014
Hi Dianne...It's good that you've cut out dairy, wheat and gluten in your son's diet but take particular note about eradicating sugars, junk food and processed food from his diet as well. Candida and other pathogens feed off excess sugars and carbohydrates in the diet. Eliminitaing red meat is also beneficial against candida because candida virulence increases with too much heme iron in the diet.
I also wanted to mention some other things that might also help your son.
I've recently read some interesting research concerning the benefits of supplementing Gymnema sylvestre versus candida. The research report is shown here. The researchers at Kansas State University have found that Gymnema sylvestre works against candida in several ways. First it makes sugar unavailable to candida. The other fact is that Gymnema sylvestre blocks candida's transition into the more virulent and dangerous hyphal form. It therefore acts to reduce the virulence of candida in this respect. It must be said that Gymnema sylvestre will not kill the candida but it will certainly reduce the spread and morphing of candida into its more virulent form.
Gymnema sylvestre(GS) is commonly just taken as a tea and should be taken three or four times a day because it is such a safe non-toxic natural product. I would also further advise that GS should be taken combined together with Green Tea for the most benefit. The green tea will also help to kill the candida(due to the tannin content) and it will also help to remove heavy metals as well. The GS will meanwhile act to reduce the virulence of the candida as well as help to starve the candida of its favourite food -- sugar.
GS is fairy well-known and easily bought at health stores and on the internet -- always buy the organic form. The powder form or the tea form are the best ways to take it. I would simply combine the Green Tea and GS whenever you drink the tea form which is the best way to supplement these natural products.
Another good protocol which might particularly help your son's psoriasis is using Bentionite clay topically. Create a wet paste of bentonite clay and gently spread a thin layer over his areas of psoriasis. Let the bentonite dry completely to a dusty crust. This allows the bentonite to suck out heavy metals and poisons from these psoriatic skin regions and will also help to kill any fungus or any other pathogens topically. Then shower or wash off the bentonite and apply aloe vera oil to help relieve any dryness in these skin areas.

We only applied it once although it was a good soaking.
He too has had patches crop up elsewhere over the years which he just used to apply cream of all different types to try to keep it at bay, but this was worst so we decided to try ACV. After the initial treatment it was just left, no creams and thankfully all healed.
I wish you luck too.

hi, just wanted to say, I have read and do believe Psoriasis/Ezcema is from a too Acidic Body, same as Yeast issues. I have some spots but keep them at bay, thru cream. I used to drink AV daily in a glass of water, now have been drinking about 1/4 tsp of Baking Soda and it seems to help. One thing I drink Wine and that doesn't help me at all. Maybe I will go back to drinking the V although Soda is less expensive. Thank you everyone for your notes.

I was on prescription topical steriods and it just made it worse. Every time I came off the steroids the psoriasis would bounce back worse than before.
I apply ACV at least twice daily with a sponge and bowl to affected areas.
Observations:
Day 1-3) Massive reduction in skin production. Much cleaner appearance.
Day 3-7) Small amount of outer shrinkage of spots of psoriosis
Week 3) Hollowing out of spots of psoriosis to form a ring of psoriosis with healthy skin on the inside
Week 6) Ring breaks up into smaller spots which turn into scabs that reveal deep itchy lesions if picked at. Try not to do this but sometimes you will find you do. Always apply ACV if the scabs come off...always.
NOTE: scabs are GOOD because they mean your body is healing itself naturally for once......
Week 12) Lesions slowly heal and close up
I am also drinking ACV a few teaspoons in water twice a day and taking multi-vitamin tablets. Sun and reduced stress also helps.
It is a long battle to beat psoriosis and I am not fully cured yet. What I can say is that I am winning - one milimeter of healed skin at a time.
As a fellow psoriosis sufferer you you know how embedded this condition is and how hard it is to beat. However, I would say that ACV is the WEAPON OF CHOICE.
Do not listen to the advice about using steroid creams. They just cover up the condition rather than actually tackling it - profits for big pharma companies. It can even make the condition worse.
ACV is a natural and free cure. You have a ph imbalance in your body and excess toxins. This causes skin lesions that never heal because your body is producing skin cells too fast in affected areas to allow them to do so.
