Psoriasis is a skin disease that most commonly appears as “plaque psoriasis,” which is raised, inflamed red patches covered by a silvery white scale. It can appear anywhere on your body.
Psoriasis is not contagious and may seem like an unattractive and inconvenient part of your life, but it can become more serious. Psoriasis can develop into psoriatic arthritis, a condition characterized by inflammation, pain and swelling of the joints.
This chronic disease affects some 7.5 million Americans, and it appears that psoriasis is a more serious diagnosis than previously thought.
New research shows that psoriasis puts you at risk for:
* Heart disease
* Cancer
* High blood pressure
* Depression
* Obesity
* Crohn’s disease
With documented risks like these, psoriasis is more than just a cosmetic disease.
Common over-the-counter and prescription treatments of psoriasis aim to slow cell turnover and reduce scaling, but experts have not yet found an “official cure”.
The Inflammation Connection
Psoriasis is linked to systemic inflammation. Inflammation is your body’s response to stress from diet, lifestyle and/or environment. It causes many diseases like arthritis and cancer, as well as psoriasis and general aging.
One of the main causes of inflammation is low-grade bacterial, viral or fungal infections in our blood, tissues and cells.
Common treatment of psoriasis includes anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen, but these just temporarily ease the symptoms.
Some things you can do to help eliminate psoriasis are to cleanse the liver using foods such as organic grapefruit, wolfberry(known under the colloquial name of goji berry), lemon, and any sulfur foods such as onions & garlic. Also using black cumin, or black seed oil, can help.
