My condition has improved significantly, but anyone claiming they’ve actually cured psoriasis is lying through their teeth. As it stands, this is an UNCURABLE CHRONIC DISEASE.
There are enough scammers out there peddling snake oil to desperate patients just to line their own pockets.😠 Question:

Where can I pick up some wild ivy?

Right in my local woods, back in my small town. :-)

And Maria, you might want to check things out for yourself once I do... then you'll see that some people are actually telling the truth, regardless of how certain you feel about your own version of "the truth."

Jose Murphy7 said:Mario, you've posted this exact same thing several times now. I want to believe your intentions are pure, but anyone actually looking for a solution has likely already read everything here and found what they need. Doing it this way just makes it look like an advertisement.

I suppose it's my turn to weigh in, since I know Mary personally—she's family...

....You can check my post history on this forum; I’m not being unserious, lazy, or argumentative (though maybe a little bit 🙂 ) and that's why.....

.....Mario hasn't had psoriasis for several months now. He's happy about it and simply wanted to share that news with everyone. Yes, it sounds incredible, but his symptoms cleared up incredibly fast. Whether it stays away for good, nobody can say for sure yet.

Mario was banned; he told me today... I don't know how he earned that, though I suppose there's always a reason for a ban...

........ But... Mario from Annapolis wasn't lying about how quickly he recovered... I can see he's upset that people don't believe him; he just wanted to share his relief with the group. He made a mistake somewhere—he's young and tends to speak without thinking, which probably explains the ban—but he isn't a liar.

So, go ahead and attack me if you want.... I couldn't let this go without saying something.

Best regards to all,

I wake up in the morning and the corners of my mouth are so dry it’s maddening—if I even move my face, they crack instantly. I used to rely on Chapstick medicated, but that isn't cutting it anymore. Lately, I've been using Garnier lipstick and some herbal salve I picked up. Anyway, that's just where things stand...

Regarding homemade remedies (lard, etc.), someone mentioned to me the other day that earwax is supposedly great for fixing this—though I suspect they aren't talking about actual cracked skin, just irritation, but who knows? Personally, I wouldn't touch it, but if anyone has the stomach for it... feel free to try it and report back if it actually works! 😁

===========================================
It’s true that earwax works for those specific sores. When the corners of your mouth sting like that, those are "cracks," not true chapped lips. True chapping is when the skin itself splits and burns.
You probably picked up those corner irritations from somewhere; I've heard people talk about having the same issue.

So, essentially, earwax is effective for those corner sores, while lemon juice works for actual chapped lips.

Give it a shot; you won't die.

😉 Anything for beauty and health.

Seriously? 🙂

It’s like I’m shouting into a void here—absolutely nobody has followed up after my advice.

Has anyone actually given my recipe a shot yet?

Did you guys even have the guts to try it?

Is there actually an effective remedy?

It’s a proven method, though it’s a bit awkward. It stings for a second, but it works 100%.

Lemon. Just plain old lemon juice. Rub some onto your lips.

It costs next to nothing and it gets the job done. You just need some patience, because it burns for about the first 20 seconds.

There you go.

Richard Perez3 said:steelpanther9, sorry, 🙂I lost my cool for a second there. But this situation has been going on for years. Everyone knows about it; it’s in the papers and people discuss it openly. Now, suddenly, half the people on this thread act like they’ve never heard of it and are shocked by how things work. It’s because it can be done. And it gets done because it can. People just want to survive.

I could play the fool, living in some fairy tale where everything is perfect and nothing ever goes wrong, but we’re talking about health here. That’s what this subforum is for: addressing the most important thing in life. If there's a way to stay informed about these practices, I'm going to do it.

I wasn't asking for special treatment or for a patient to be singled out. Apparently, I phrased something in a way that made it sound like I was, though I honestly can't find where I did that. 🤔

-------------------------------
😘 For starters, 🙂

You didn't say you were looking for special attention; that was just my own interpretation. 🙂

It’s like... "I'll give them a little extra so they'll look at me more kindly," trying harder than necessary. 🙂 Isn't that how it works??

When you already have an appointment, you don't owe anyone anything.

Whether you choose to offer something extra is up to you. But if nobody asked for it, you should realize that people aren't exactly satisfied with the bare minimum. You have to decide how much you're willing to provide.
I think it's unnecessary.

I say this because, unfortunately, I've spent countless hours around doctors, endless nights in ERs, and gone through several surgeries. Nobody ever got anything extra from me—or us. Everything was handled without any extra payments. 🙂

.......
Patients who just assume they can demand things without ever being asked a single question

They try to "buy off" doctors with stacks of cash, foolishly thinking they can purchase better health or somehow bribe their way into getting special treatment 😁

I don't hold it against the nurses; they work their tails off for a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars 😲

Here is a textbook example:

- The self-appointed queen of this topic actually had a scheduled appointment, and nobody even mentioned money to her.
Yet, she’s already losing her mind, ready to shove an envelope full of cash under a doctor's nose.

We basically turned our doctors into this kind of person ourselves. 😱

And for those looking to hand over an envelope? There's always a doctor available for them.

Richard Perez3 said:The headline says it all.

Does anyone know—because I certainly don't—what the standard etiquette is regarding "tipping" a surgeon after an operation?

It hasn't come up yet, but it will. Good grief.

Thanks.

Everyone in my immediate circle has had some kind of surgery over the last three or four years—gallbladder, prostate, more gallbladder issues—and nobody has ever given anything or even thought to ask. Everyone is still here, healthy, and the procedures went perfectly fine. 🙂

The only thing I actually said to the doctor was when I realized they weren't going to keep my father overnight, even though in my opinion, he absolutely should have stayed. It was something like this:

"If the healthcare system in this country were functioning normally, my father would be staying right here under your care." We were originally given a follow-up appointment for seven days out, but we had to rush him back in that very same day because it turned into an emergency—total urinary retention due to his prostate.
