Hi Qse 150,

If you are keen to try - you may wanna look up Dr Pagano on Amazon.Com
Or have you already heard of his diet methods

I tried his diet the first round and it worked ie 99% clear after following his diet for 6-9 months.

However, I had a very bad infection in my leg and the P flared up really badly. I went back on the diet the 2nd time round but it did not work.

However I do use his diet as a guideline and it comforts me.

Just something to share with you.

In KL, there are now alot of SPAs with the garra rufa fish. If you are familiar with the Dr fish treatment in Turkey, this is the same fish. I tried it for RM35 ringgit for half hour at the Pavillion KL but didn't see any improvement. Though I suspect you need to spend more time with the fish

Shocked

Anyways, personally I find it too expensive for this therapy. But if anyone has any insights and experience with the fishes - please post it here.

My medication consist mostly of external application of aqueos cream, LPC and bethamethasone cream. Tried MTX before. Not much side effect like some other people but not much improvement either. Currently is on lots of mostuirizing. I alternate between aqueos for mosturizing and bethamethasone. And seems like working.

And starting on GLA tablet daily, the Primrose Evening Oil tablet. Planning to take vitamin D3 also soon. Dunno if it works or not but there are claims that vitamin D3 helps.

And from the http://www.psoriasis-help.org.uk/forum/index.php here, people goes to the Dead Sea Jordan just to sun bath and some got cleared entirely for nearly a year. Kinda envied em since i cant afford to make the trip there.

Well, from my experience, other than beers and heavy alchohol, i never really control my diet.

i also like to use the 'betamethasone' as well..can mosturize my P.. Smile

i think our immune system is much related to psoriasis. Imbalanced of nutrition in our body may one of the reason. For long term, we should stronger our immune system. I am not saying external treatment (oilment, cream n etc) is not good, but at the same time the internal treatment is the long term solution.

Food has always been a problem. Crying or Very sad

I've stayed away from ice cream and cakes and chocolates for along long time, just only having a small nibble out of courtesy at functions or the curiousness for taste.

I've noted ice cream does give me a flare up one or two days after consumption. Maybe it was cheap ice-cream lol!

My next problem is to find out what vegetables and fruits can start a cycle.

Any experiences out there Question

Hi Rubenraj,

For the ice cream - i notice that I get my P triggered due to dairy (could be allergy that triggers the P - my derm said this may be possible). Let me know if you reckon this is for you as well?

As for vegetables and fruits that may trigger - Dr Pagano (see amazon.com) mentions the nightshades i.e. tomato, capsicum, etc ... I stay clear of these ... just in case !

Hope the above is helpful.
