Chris Morgan67 said:it’s some young doctor—honestly, I don't know if she's worth much😂 but you really have to insist on getting that specialized lamp—that's the key part

And just so you know—in case you were wondering—Pašić is still around😁>

If you're actually looking for a solid private dermatologist, I can shoot you their number via DM

Hi E 😍
Could you send me that number via DM too? 😉

Kate Williams41 said:Hey everyone, I really need some advice from you all!!!
......
What do you think—should I just shave my head and maybe "solve" this psoriasis issue once and for all, or should I definitely not go through with it??????
😕🤷
Greetings to everyone!!!!

I certainly wouldn't touch my own 🙂....besides, whenever I try to visualize how I'd actually look 😱
Just dive right in (kind of like Ariel) and let the little fishies find their way straight to your scalp! 😍

Chris Morgan67 said:So, what's the current vibe over at the Vineyard clinic?

I’ve actually never stepped foot in the Vineyard facility myself—but I have a friend who went up there for an exam regarding some "minor" nail issues, and the doctor immediately sent her off for every test imaginable! It turned out she was diagnosed with psoriasis, and now she's starting a new treatment plan (and no, it isn't just those light therapies... )

As for me—even after all these years dealing with this condition—nobody at the Salad clinic ever bothered to send me for testing, nor did they ever suggest anything like Petroleum treatments... the most they ever tried to do was insist on hospitalizing me on several occasions... and honestly, they tried that while I was on maternity leave... can you even imagine how much that suited my timing?!
Chris Morgan67 said:Man, those doctors are just "come here, go there"—all they ever prescribe is Beloderm. 🤷
I honestly think if I had followed certain old-school medical advice, I'd be meeting my Maker by now. 🤣 Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but still...

I suspect things would be even worse for me personally 🙂
And the absolute worst part? Every single time I head up there, I end up seeing a different doctor... and then I have to explain my entire history from scratch all over again... I mean, what is the point of having medical records at all?! 🤷

Chris Morgan67 said:It actually surprised me that she even sent me for tests; 😲 I only see her because that specific light therapy works wonders for me. 🙏

Well, those light treatments work for me too... (and that specific setting on the lamps is fantastic! 😍 )... but their office hours are absolutely maddening... I simply can't just walk away from my job for a session, especially when I'm commuting from the other side of town. I really don't get why they don't offer afternoon appointments for those of us who are still working full-time. 🤷

Chris Morgan67 said:Haha, honestly, I’m also keeping an eye on 😍

But anyway—is anyone else here seeing Dr. Smith for their 😍 I actually thought she might have retired since I haven't been up north in two years, yet there she is! She just sent me off for a whole battery of tests—bloodwork, urine, HLA typing... we'll see how it goes, I guess.

Hey everyone!

I mostly see her too.😉
She actually recommended a great cream back when I had my C-section—well, applying it over psoriasis lesions, obviously... though it didn't exactly help the wound heal any faster.😢

Aside from that, she’s never actually sent me for any diagnostic testing, which strikes me as a bit odd considering I've dealt with psoriasis for 14 years and it covers about 80% of my body.😢

By the way, I'm seriously starting to think about moving over to Vineyard street.

jadesailor14 said:nabrzihenzi, just a little bit of what’s still rattling around in my head— 😬 You know, I was reading up on this the other day—it’s fascinating stuff—about how activated charcoal can actually help harmonize the immune system. That’s exactly why you see it being recommended so often for people dealing with autoimmune conditions. It’s all about finding that balance again, isn't it?
I honestly think that taking this stuff could be a real game-changer for people dealing with psoriasis, too—it’s definitely worth looking into.
As for me—because of the MS—I don't have to deal with psoriasis.
to Not really. So, I was just thinking about that one specific seasoning we all seem to have tucked away in our kitchen cabinets—you know the one? It’s that versatile little gem we use for everything from sprinkling over beets and leafy greens to giving our homemade pastries that perfect little kick... it's such a staple!

I actually picked mine up while I was traveling through Austria—it’s surprisingly affordable!
So, we’re talking about those gelatin capsules—you know, the kind they use for things like Omega supplements?
It doesn't sit too heavy on my stomach—which, if you ask me, is a bit of a win! 👍
To be perfectly honest—and I really mean this—I don't have any firsthand experience when it comes to applying topical ointments to affected areas, or even just dealing with creams in general. It’s one of those things where you just sort of hope for the best, isn't it?

I actually really like him—especially since Muhammad went and added that line: "Black coal heals all ailments except death."
And honestly—it’s quite lovely, too. 😍

You have... I’m here! Ready whenever you are. Just let me know what we’re working on—I've got my coffee ready and I'm all set to dive in. As for him—honestly, just go ahead and Google "black cumin" and you’ll see some absolute miracles.

Thanks for the quick heads-up... honestly, I just ended up doing a little deep dive on Google to get the full scoop myself!👍

What BU actually happened? 🙂 This Saturday— 😉
And yeah, exactly— Happy Birthday! ( yesterday )😍

jadesailor14 said:Would you perhaps be interested in some black cumin oil capsules too? 🤣
I went ahead and picked up three packs—just to have them ready—but honestly, I’m still struggling to actually get started!

jadesailor14, I just picked up some black cumin oil... (it was actually recommended to me by this pharmacist specialist over in Germany, believe it or not) ...but honestly, I am completely in the dark when it comes to this stuff! 😕So... you seem to have quite a bit of insight here—would you mind sharing some of that knowledge? It would be great if you could bring the rest of us along on the journey—especially those of us following this thread who are still a little in the dark! 😉
Please 😍

Best regards!

Sorry about that, Robert Clark2—you should be all set to send those PMs over now!😍

Mark Fox44 said:Give that "Psorex" ointment from Bihać a shot. If you have darker hair, it’s basically invisible—it has this sort of olive-brown tint to it! If you're blonde😉, maybe try dyeing it a bit darker; you’ll definitely get your scalp back in shape within a few weeks. You apply it once a day—it smells pretty rough, honestly—but it was the only thing that actually cleared up my dandruff for any significant amount of time without needing corticosteroids.
You can find it in Chicago; the price is $57 (back in Bihać, it's about $40/ 19 miles). Since you aren't supposed to expose it to sunlight, now is actually the perfect time to start using it.
By the way, I went through two whole containers of Lush, and didn't see much of a result. It helped soothe the itching a little, but I found that St. John's Wort oil works much better for me—plus, it's way easier to apply. As for those little patches, I've noticed spots of clear skin (on my torso and legs) appearing here and there amidst the affected areas👍

Sunce ćaćino, where can I pick up some Psorex ointment in Chicago?

Chris Morgan67 said:it’s about the dream Cream, and honestly, I think it works wonders🙏
I guess the tea tree oil just agrees with my skin—either way, it seems worth a shot since the formula is so neutral and natural, plus you get quite a generous amount in the jar.🙂

Actually, a nice neutral moisturizer is exactly what I’ve been looking for... just something reliable for everyday use.
Thnx!
I'll definitely give it a try.🙂

Chris Morgan67 said:Hey everyone! 🙂

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say I finally found a cream that actually works for me! I've been applying it for about five days now to this annoying little spot on my hand—really bothersome—and honestly, it already looks smaller after applying it! It’s made with all-natural ingredients, and from what I've been digging up on Google, everything in it is fantastic for soothing and hydrating the skin.

Hi Chris Morgan67,

Looking at the link you shared, there seem to be a few different options (like the Dream Cream line for hands, body, and feet).
Which specific one did you end up trying?
Thanks so much!

Michael Ramos3 said:I've been noticing—and honestly, it scares me a little—that this forum seems to be getting quieter every single day.

Is it possible we've already covered just about everything there is to say on these pages???

Best regards,

I can't help but feel like we're all just getting a bit exhausted from battling this ugly disease of ours.🙂

goldenstag213 said:P.S.
Hey everyone—is anyone actually using that ointment and tea combo from Smith? I haven't heard a single peep from anyone who has started on it lately. What's the deal? Please, jump in and let us know how it's going—even if you aren't seeing any results at all. It would be great to know so we don't end up wasting our precious time and hard-earned cash on something that isn't working!

I started using his products back on September 21st—but honestly, given how incredibly intense that ointment smells, I had to stop applying it pretty quickly. I just couldn't deal with being around my coworkers at the office while smelling like that!🙄 ...but honestly, I’ve been sipping this tea constantly—just all the time—and I can say with a full sense of "moral responsibility" that my skin is about 50% better all over, and on my hands, it’s improved by as much as 70%... since I haven't touched any other kind of treatment lately, I’m pretty sure this is all thanks to Smith's tea.🙏

Lawrence Ramirez3 said:A few days back, I started using some herbal teas and various psoriasis ointments—just on my hands, though. I haven't been following any specific diet, nor do I really have any intention of starting one. Still drinking my coffee regularly. 🙄
A colleague at work actually asked if something had caught fire somewhere 🤣—honestly! I just told them, "No, nothing happened, I just applied some ointments that smell a bit like smoke." 🤣

When I placed my order, they told me straight up that I absolutely had to stick to the diet, otherwise there wouldn't be any effect at all!? Didn't they tell you the same thing? 😕

Well, as of today, I’m officially joining the ranks—straight after those dried sausages! 😍

goldenstag213 said:Maybe ask your friend's husband to drop by the forum and share his personal experience—or if you prefer, just give us the full rundown yourself.

By the way, there's a pharmacy near my place run by that herbalist, Smith—his therapy involves a detox tea, some ointments, and honey to eat.
It’s all entirely natural and doesn't break the bank; I actually went to check everything out myself, though I’ll admit I'm a bit skeptical since I've tried plenty of herbal remedies before without much luck.
If anyone else here on the forum has dealt with this specific therapy, please reach out!
steelseal13, would you mind reaching out to your friend's husband one more time and asking him to share what happened with him?
Thanks!!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately—life got in the way! In the meantime, I actually decided to take the plunge and try that therapy myself. My package containing the "psoriasis therapy" arrived yesterday—it's a 40-day cycle consisting of two bags of tea, a tonic, and an ointment. Usually, the standard kit comes with one tube of ointment, but given how bad my skin is acting, I went ahead and ordered two right away. Honestly, looking back, I probably shouldn't have faulted me for ordering four, considering they come in 100g containers.
I've decided to just focus on treating my hands for now... so, let's see how it goes.👍 Along with the treatment, they provide dietary recommendations too. Apparently, I have to cut out quite a bit: anything acidic, vinegar, wine, lemons, oranges, berries, black coffee, chocolate, cocoa, honey, canned fish, spicy or smoked sausages, beans, peas, and alcohol... The coffee is going to be the hardest part, but they suggested I look for a substitute, like a decaf or grain-based coffee alternative.🙂
Every single item comes with a label listing the ingredients, expiration date, and registration number—you know, official stuff like a Class or registration ID...
Oh, and by the way—the ointment actually smells like dried herbs!😬

A friend of mine has a husband who’s been undergoing Mr. Antičević’s therapy regimen for about three months now—we're talking herbal teas, tonics, ointments, and a pretty intense diet—and he’s reporting some seriously impressive progress. 👍 He says the constant crying skin, the itching, and all that redness have basically vanished... his skin is almost entirely back to normal! Does anyone here have any insight or personal experience with this kind of approach?

I get what you mean, but how do I actually pull it off? Where am I supposed to head to if I want to sign up for the Register? 🙏

Nah... it’s just not working. Every time I hit that logout button, a message pops up telling me all my cookies have been wiped! So—I guess that part is technically "fixed," if you can call it that. I head over to the Help Center, type in the username I actually want, set a new password, and then... boom—that same annoying warning pops up again. 😲

Thanks so much in advance;

Just a heads-up—this isn't steelseal13 typing, it's actually Laura (my daughter). And before you ask why I'm using her handle?? It’s because I simply cannot get myself registered under my own name!! I haven't officially signed up for the forum yet, and every time I try, things just go sideways... apparently, if I log out of this account, it tells me some messages have been deleted... ??? 🙏 I just can't seem to sign in on the

because it keeps rejecting me! What am I supposed to doooooo........ once, I logged out of the page, and then when I tried to come back a few minutes later, it just said HI, STEELSEAL13! Give me a break... 😠 What should I do? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
