Psoriasis runs in my family. My grandmother suffered terribly with itchy painful red welts over most of her body. She tried all kinds of treatments, some costly, nothing really helped for long.
I too had psoriasis as a teenager, though never as bad as my grandmother. In my early twenties I started eating healthier. One of the things I stopped eating was red meat. Surprise, my psoriasis started fading and eventually went away.
I have been mostly psoriasis free ever since. One exception was about 7 years ago. I was working almost full time remodeling a house I was flipping. Close by was a Hardees fast food restaurant. They featured a sale on burgers at the time so I thought: Why not?
After about 10 days of mostly eating these burgers for lunch my psoriasis came back. I stopped eating the burgers and it went away in a couple weeks.
Now, I don’t mean to pick on Hardees. I suspect that any fast food hamburger may have precipitated my psoriasis. I have since found that red meat, especially cheap (read greasy) red meat precipitates the inflammation response. Since psoriasis is an auto-immune disease it is not surprising that susceptible people like myself can break out on a high red meat diet.
My point is, anyone who sufferes from psoriasas may wish to try this remedy. Just stop eating red meat for a month. See if you don’t improve. Eat fish, chicken and vegetarian protein sources instead. You may be doing yourself a big health favor and save money at the same time. I only wish someone had thought of suggesting this to my grandmother (She loved red meat).
