SYMPTOMS:
There is redness in certain areas of the body, with pearl color scales, which are constantly peeling off, irritation and in some cases bleeding. This occurs mainly on elbows, knees, arms, hands, legs, chest, abdomen, groin, neck and ears. Fingernails and toenails lose their shine and become rigid and brittle.
CAUSE:
It is still unknown, however, it is fact that there is a great psychosomatic influence because the problem increases with nervousness and stress. The lack of polyunsaturated fats like Omega-3 in the body is related to this disease.
Correct reproduction of the cells is carried out due to the balance maintained by two substances called cyclic AMP and GMP. When the delicate balance between these two substances is broken, the production of the skin cells gets out of control and results in psoriasis.
It has been found that a poor digestion of proteins, which causes rotting and bacteria produces a toxic amino acid (poliamine), which breaks down this balance. Vitamin A or Beta Carotene stops the formation of this toxic substance (poliamine) and helps prevent psoriasis.
SUGGESTED TREATMENT:
Dr. Murray Pizzorno recommends a complete detoxification of the body because there is a considerable number of toxins involved in psoriasis including some bacteria. What these toxins do is to increase cyclic GMP, breaking down the balance it maintains with the AMP, which increases cell production.
A lack of fiber in the diet helps the accumulation of toxins in the intestine. A deficiency in the liver function encourages the formation of psoriasis. One of the liver's functions is to filter toxins and bacteria. When this fails, these toxins enter the blood and contribute to the formation of poliamine, which again produce an imbalance between AMP and GMP. As a result, an increase and excess production of the skin cells.
A high consumption of alcohol increases psoriasis considerably. This is mainly because of the negative effect that alcohol has on the liver. The person should stop drinking alcohol.
A considerable recovery has been obtained by daily application of aloe vera gelatin or bee propolis cream. Exposing onself to the sun everyday for about 10 minutes is also beneficial. It has been observed that this problem increases when there is stress and diminishes when the person is calm and relaxed.
