Everyone, slow down with this kind of stuff. It seems like most of you are pretty young and aren't thinking about getting older. None of us knows what we'll be facing in our senior years or how many different medications we'll be forced to take for whatever new condition pops up. What if, down the road, you can't use a specific therapy because you overdid it on these HEAVY drugs now? At that point, a seemingly harmless condition turns into a total nightmare.
Keep in mind I'm speaking from experience (I'm 35)
The terms you used sound at least 50 times worse than psoriasis.
Quick shoutout to all the new folks joining us. I spend time on these boards every single day, and I’ve noticed a pattern: people keep asking questions that were already answered extensively on previous pages long ago.
Do yourself a favor and actually scroll back. Take the time to read through the entire thread from the beginning. This is serious stuff, and spending an hour reading is a small price to pay to get it right.
You'll also find valuable insights from members who aren't posting much anymore—just because they're quiet doesn't mean their experience isn't useful.
Don't go jumping to conclusions or stressing yourself out. Just wait for the test results. Only once they actually confirm psoriasis should you start worrying about it. Until then—and honestly, even after—take care of your liver like it's your life.
Michelle Parker3 said:But... maybe I'm just clueless about this psoriasis thing. Why doesn't it show up when my immune system drops? Every single time I get sick, it flares up or gets way worse. It can't be a coincidence... I don't get it... If you don't mind me asking, how do you know all this?
Say hi to Stella for me.
There isn't one universal answer for psoriasis. What's a nightmare for one person might not affect someone else at all. A therapy that works wonders for one person might do nothing for another. Someone covered from head to toe might react the exact same way as someone with just a few spots. There are some general patterns, though. Stress is usually a trigger, and sunlight or being near the ocean can help—though even then, some people won't see any change. Just like there aren't two identical people on this planet, no two cases of this disease are the same.
That’s why I think your best bet is to focus on pinpointing your specific triggers—the things that help you and the things that hurt you. Identify them, and then deal with them accordingly.

Not sure why you're getting so worked up, sir. Could you clarify what you actually meant in that last post? Was it a typo, slang, or just a nasty word?
And why are you commenting on stuff you aren't even going to use? What's the issue there? Or do you honestly think you have the authority to tell people what they can or can't do?
I can't post my phone number. Those are the forum rules. My name is Bane, born Jan 25, 1973. Honestly, even if I wanted to drop my Social Security number right now, our dear moderator wouldn't allow it because he'd call it "propaganda."
So why don't you post your SSN and phone number? You've been handing out advice and all sorts of recipes to people. You carry the moral responsibility for that. What happens if someone gets sick using one of your formulas?

It feels more like kids bickering over who has the bigger toy than how someone should argue if they're trying to act like a Nobel Prize winner! )?
Wait... it seems like you were the one constantly bringing up the situation here in my country across several of your posts. I don't get why you're suddenly bothered by my comment about things on your side of the pond. You don't own the monopoly on that. Thanks for looking out for my hard work and worrying about my Nobel Prize, but honestly, your approval would be a much better reward.
Daca Gospod might make it happen, and until then, we keep the faith.
Looks like we’ve got another case of someone ignoring the basic instructions on how to actually use a product.
Okto never shared any official test results or data. He just gave his own subjective guess about where he stood during his worst moments—which, unfortunately, happened. So, I have no idea how long you're planning to keep using that as an argument.
Just a side note: $1,000 is also a massive amount of money for little fish that we already know won't take them, especially in the country where you live.
09.07.2007 Mark Fox44 "Regarding the price and the profit on the ointment, I have to be blunt. 60 bucks feels steep to me because I personally need two packs a month. Given average incomes around here—especially in places like the Midwest—that’s definitely not pocket change. I assume the cost to make it is way lower than the retail price, so since there's all this talk about loving God, maybe it's worth considering a price adjustment. Personally, the amount isn't a dealbreaker if it keeps working at this rate. At this pace, I’d be 'clear' by the end of summer, which is something I haven't managed in nearly 11 years of fighting psoriasis. Regards everyone. Don't stress out; nothing's going to work better than biting yourself!""
03.09.2007 says following "God, hey team! Been away from the forum for a bit, so just checking in. You might've noticed I'm constantly hitting the coast and then heading back home for a few days. That's just how life works for us musicians; gigs, weddings, gigs... Anyway, here's my status after 2 months using the ointment (Michael Ramos3): all the affected areas have shrunk significantly, and the changes are real. In some spots, my skin has completely HEALED, the color matches the surrounding area, and even the stretch marks vanished (the skin was pretty wrinkled at first). The parts I didn't tan (under my swim trunks) are clear, just darker than the rest. On my toughest, most stubborn spots (forearms and thighs), I currently look patchy, sort of like a Dalmatian dog, but things are steadily improving. Basically, people who see me at the beach every summer, and even those who saw me at the start of this season, keep asking what happened. Since I've tried every cream and med under the sun, I have to admit I wasn't expecting this kind of progress. I'm not trying to run an ad for anyone, but I think anyone struggling with psoriasis long-term should give it a shot. Oh, yeah, I'm also taking a ton of Herbalife's tablets, omega-3, and evening primrose oil, so my nails have improved drastically too. I'm hoping to be totally clear in the next few weeks, so I'll check back in. I think my recovery is taking a bit longer because a couple times a month I don't even manage to apply it during the night (I get home after a wedding at 8 or 9 AM and just crash right where I am). But even like this, the ointment from Michael Ramos3 clearly works.
"Salicylic Acid" It's that old, reliable ingredient you see in just about everything. Pretty sure Visnjic used it back at Vipsogal, too. It basically just peels away the top layer of skin to give you that immediate, superficial glow. But let’s be real—it doesn't actually do anything to treat the underlying condition.

about... oops 🙂 .... you don't even have them 😁
Let's just wrap this up, okay? If you actually have something new to say, go ahead. If you're just trying to hawk your ointment, we're done here. This conversation ends now. Any future posts that don't follow the rules will be deleted. From here on out, the same rules apply to you as everyone else on this forum.
I'm not breaking your rules and I'm done advertising. Just sanction the rude posts from others and we'll be fine.
Can't blame you there. I’m also noticing our dear moderator being pretty unprofessional and biased lately.
I think it would be smarter to ask everyone here to keep things a bit more civil and polite. Lately, people have been throwing out baseless accusations and using heavy, even vulgar language on the recent pages. This isn't just aimed at me; it's happening to other members too. All this trash talk ruins the reputation and the actual VALUE of this forum. It's going to kill this place, leaving these boards dead and empty while everyone moves their discussions elsewhere. I noticed you making comments—not just to me, but to others—about seeing a psychiatrist and bringing up mental illness. You didn't handle that professionally, and your reaction to the "weird post" report wasn't professional either. As for my own comments, they're always just a direct response to someone coming after me.
I'd like to hear what the rest of you think about this.
jadesailor14 said:🙂 I'm watching you behave yourself
And please, spare me the act and the fake surprise over why my comment was so "harsh." 😉
Let's clear this up once and for all.
This guy (gaetano) made a really nasty comment about my posts, even though they had nothing to do with him.
A third member (rapidpanther41) is jumping on the bandwagon too, acting all judgmental. You can't strip away my right to respond to them. Nor can you take away their right to comment on my posts. If someone's being rude here, it's them, not me. So why aren't you sanctioning their rudeness?
Besides, there's zero advertising going on here (neither direct nor indirect—they're talking about some ointment while I'm just talking about watermelons. Heh. )
