10 Best Tips for Healing Psoriasis

Yep. I have been there and done that - psoriasis that is. Horrible, embarrassing, emotionally and physically scarring and a relationship nightmare!

It covered my body from head to toe in long sleeved tops, long skirts and jeans. Swimming in public never happened. I stopped getting pedicures due to the disgusted stares by customers when my legs were exposed. My body was covered 75% in red, ugly scales! I bled in my sheets, left flakes of skin in a trail and my body was covered in slippery, greasy ointments.

That was then. This is now. Now I am clear. After twenty-five years I have clear skin and no signs of the psoriatic arthritis in my ankles. I have been psoriasis free for over three years and counting!

So I am passing on the secret to clear skin - well, it is no secret really because psoriasis sufferers worldwide (of which there are 125 million) are beginning to wake up to the fact that drugs are just concealing the effects of the disease - not curing it. It wasn't until my dermatologist ran out of drug options for me that I set out on a journey to find an alternative cure.

It is the old story.. we are what we eat. And if you are eating mostly acidic foods and suffer from psoriasis (like I was) then you will love how simple it is to clear your skin forever.

1. Test your pH level to see if you are acidic.

Psoriasis grows in an acidic body - is your body acidic? You can purchase pH test strips on line (Amazon etc) or pop into your local hardware store. The pH test strips used for spas and pools work fine too. I check my pH level regularly to keep on track and keep my psoriasis away. The human body is supposed to be between 7.0 and 7.5.
