Michael Ramos3 said:Sending my best to everyone on this forum from New York City.
We just don't have communities quite like this one back home, which is exactly why I decided to join yours.
My father struggled with psoriasis for nearly thirty years, starting when he was only twenty-five.
Back in 2000, he started using a topical salve that he had been formulating himself for years; since then—and we are now looking back from 2007—he hasn't had a single flare-up, regardless of what he eats, even though his diet used to absolutely devastate him.
I would truly love to be of some assistance here, especially since we’ve spent years applying that same salve to others dealing with psoriasis, including those with the most unusual and complex presentations of the condition.
I'll do my best to keep up with your discussions over the next few days and stay active in the thread.

Well, if you're actually looking to help, what are you waiting for? Send the salve over so we can give it a shot!!!

Grace Green6 said:I tried reading through all the posts—really, I did—but I just couldn't stomach it once I hit that back-and-forth spat with MacGregor.

I’ve been dealing with psoriasis for about 18 years now—basically two decades.
Elbows, palms, feet, nails... it's a nightmare. Honestly, I’ve made my peace with it; it doesn't really bother me anymore... except for the elbows, which are a bit of a pain, but whatever. Nothing much else.

Here is the combination I stick to occasionally that makes things significantly better:
cut out meat—try it for at least a month and you'll see a 100% difference.
eliminate all fats except olive oil.
vegetables, vegetables, fruit, grains, then more vegetables... you get the idea.
Omega 3 is a must.
Duovit multivitamins for men/women.
Vitamin D drops.
and Labolan cream.
In between applications, I use Kantarion (St. John's Wort in olive oil—absolute magic).

Whenever I follow this routine and spend some time by the coast, everything clears up...
Though, I’ll admit—I lack the willpower sometimes—so I slip up and have to start all over again.

Bravo, bigmamma. I took a similar route and cleared my psoriasis completely—six months symptom-free, which is a record for me.
Discipline—true self-discipline—is the absolute key to solving this.
I’m still using Kantarion and drinking silver water (my friend handles that for me), and you can read more details on Galaxy-Alternative.
Wishing you lots of success and discipline. Best regards.

Look, I just want people to take me seriously here. I’m telling you, my dad hasn't shown a single sign of his illness in seven years. He’s eating and drinking everything he used to be strictly forbidden from touching.
Just so we're clear, this remedy has been stuck in the registration process for a supplemental health product for three years now. But because of these insanely rigid regulations currently being enforced across the US and most of the world, the whole procedure is basically at a standstill for me.

brightmarlin110 said:Hey everyone!
I'm dealing with the early stages of this annoying autoimmune condition, and it always flares up whenever I'm stressed out. So far, I haven't touched any traditional medications.
I'm not sure if you caught it, but yesterday on CBS, there was this dermatologist talking about a treatment for psoriasis using "bio-elixirs." Apparently, the whole idea is to detox the body and get the immune system back in balance. They say the process takes about ten days, and while you might deal with some side effects during that time, they claim the cure is permanent once you're done. It’s definitely not cheap, though.
I know, I know—it sounds a bit too good to be true, like something out of a fairy tale, but I can't help but wonder (in my inner Professor Baltazar). Has anyone here actually tried working with Dr. Car or used this specific method? If so, I would love to hear about your experience.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone happen to know where Dr. Car's office is located? She specializes in psoriasis treatments, and I'd love to figure out how to book an appointment.

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,

Kimberly Kim67

Based on what I’ve seen with my own skin and my father’s experience—he tried basically every detox method and diet out there—it seems like psoriasis always finds its way back eventually. He even tried different spiritual healing methods; the one that actually worked was from some guy traveling through the States. No fancy little jars of white cream involved, just a guy who wasn't much bigger than my dad. He stayed clear for six months, then it flared right back up. The most natural relief comes from hitting the beach and getting some sun, but even that only helps reduce the symptoms significantly. Just to be clear, he dealt with this for 30 years, but it’s been totally gone since 2000.
I honestly wish someone could just reach out to me here, grab the ointment, stick with it for a few months, and then tell my story for me.

Nervcik & Korkyra, thanks for the advice 🙂 . I’m going to stick strictly to the dietary guidelines; hopefully, I'll start seeing some actual progress soon. And you're right about the stress factor—I've definitely noticed my symptoms flare up whenever things get intense.

Could you please tell us how we can actually get our hands on this salve? Please, leave a phone number, an address, or any way we can reach out to you. My little girl is 11, and she’s already dealing with patches all over her body and scalp. Right now, she’s undergoing phototherapy.

Chloe Evans7 said:,,I think I found this herbal cream for psoriasis at Dr. Antićević’s apothecary. You apply it directly to the affected areas. If you can get some, it might help; it's made from lard, beeswax,English ivy, natural oats, and pine resin. The recommended treatment lasts 40 days, applying it twice a day...

Lisa Green78 said:...
Chop up some English ivy leaves and fill a wide-mouth bottle right to the top, then pour in some apple cider vinegar (ideally homemade). Let it sit in the sun for about ten days before straining it.
Apply a small amount of the liquid to the scalp (just enough for that day's application), diluted with a little water. Leave it on for half an hour, apply it once more with the same liquid, and then wash it off with a mild shampoo.
Afterward, apply some St. John's Wort to the affected spots on dry hair using a cotton ball...
For her, things have improved significantly after just two months. There's no more buildup on the scalp; it just looks like heavy dandruff now. She's been dealing with this for years and hasn't seen results quite like this before..


miss sunshine, I suspect your recipe is excellent, but I actually picked up a different one a few days ago that also uses English ivy as its base. You boil a handful of ivy leaves in 1-2 liters of water for about 10-15 minutes, then use the warm water to soak the affected areas for an hour every morning and evening. It's probably best to use the youngest leaves possible and prepare them fresh if you can. After just a few days, the improvement seems incredible. I've even met people who cleared everything up in just a month using this method—though some took longer because they weren't very disciplined with the timing or skipped doses. Ivy is easy to find and essentially free, so it's worth trying; I don't think you'll be disappointed. I've only been using it for a couple of days, but the scaling has already disappeared and my skin is looking pink again. Most importantly, the itching has stopped.

So, I was thinking about Area 51 the other day—and yeah, I know, it’s such a cliché topic that everyone brings up at parties—but there’s actually something kind of wild about how much we obsess over it. Like, we all want to believe there are little green men or some top-secret alien tech stashed away in the Nevada desert, right? It's just part of the American psyche at this point. But honestly? If you look at the actual history of stuff being developed out there, it’s probably more intense than any sci-fi movie. We’re talking about places where the government tests things that make regular military tech look like toys. Even if there aren't aliens, the level of secrecy is just... insane. It makes you wonder what else is being hidden in plain sight under the guise of "national security." I mean, maybe it's just high-altitude drones, or maybe it's something way more out there. Who knows? I guess we'll never truly find out unless someone finally manages to sneak past those perimeter sensors without getting tackled by a guy in tactical gear. It's pretty crazy when you really sit down and think about the scale of the secrets kept in our own backyard. kaže:
Nervcik & Korkyra, thanks for the heads-up! 🙂 I’m gonna try to actually stick to the diet this time—fingers crossed I see some real progress. And yeah, stress is definitely playing a huge part in all this... I’ve noticed that things start acting up the second my stress levels spike. It's like a direct trigger, honestly.

Honestly, anxiety and stress are such massive issues because they always seem to flare up whenever things get hectic or my body starts acting weird—but I’ve noticed something else over the years. It feels like this illness actually *triggers* this intense, subconscious internal jitteriness. Like, it’s this deep-seated nervousness that makes my whole body feel like it's vibrating, and then—boom—it just turns into this total internal explosion. This whole diarrhea thing has been absolutely wrecking me lately, too. I get these random spots popping up here and there on my skin, but after I did some digging on Google, it seems like it’s also hitting my bones... now my fingers have started acting up, too.
Man, my joints are absolutely killing me lately—just constant aching everywhere—but this stuff is honestly amazing for clearing up skin issues. I was actually thinking about trying it on my scalp too, if I can even find something that works there. Honestly, though, I’d love to find something that actually helps my bone health without being super aggressive or harsh on my system, you know? That would be the dream.

Susan Lopez97 said:I don't know how much you guys know about this, and I didn't have the energy to dig through all 25 pages... but over in Canada, there's this "honey of life" stuff that, when paired with a cream called "psorex," actually works for psoriasis. My mom keeps it stocked at her pharmacy, and honestly, once someone tries it, they're hooked... they always come back for more.

I just jumped in here because I wanted to tell buca_ljuca that, yeah, every single person dealing with psoriasis ends up coming back for their meds—whether it’s the same kind or something else entirely. Anyway... some "lady" actually attacked me about this five years ago! Back then, I bought a dermatology book by Bogdan Zrnic and some psychiatry texts, too, so things started making way more sense to me about two years ago. I even went to see Zrnic in person, and besides my usual routine, he recommended the therapeutic baths at KULASI near Prnjavor. It's one of only two spas in all of Europe specifically for us... And since I'm from B. Luka, it’s super close by! It really helps... By total coincidence, last winter I was out working in Afghanistan with NATO, and a Dutch doctor there gave me some Triamcinolone acetonide cream. Man, I was covered in spots... totally blotchy... but in seven days, it was cut in half! After two months of therapy, almost everything cleared up. I was on vacation and feeling great. But now, I've separated myself from my family again (they're in Germany) and Mother Nature decided to give me those leopard spots back... just to make sure I look "extra pretty" during summer fun at the beach and pools...

By a stroke of luck, while working in Afghanistan for NATO last winter, a Dutch doctor prescribed me Triamcinolone acetonide. My skin was a patchwork, but it was cut in half within seven days.

Now, having separated from my family again (in Germany), Mother Nature has gifted me with leopard spots once more, just to ruin my summer fun at the beach and pool...

Thanks for the info! That medicine is a corticosteroid... so it doesn't appeal to me much.🙂

Every so often, different people show up here peddling their own special ointments and creams.

Let's be clear: for years now, I haven't treated my skin with prescription creams, but rather with natural, neutral products like calendula salve, honey, oils, and so on.

My condition has improved significantly, but anyone claiming to have cured psoriasis is lying. As it stands, this is an INCURABLE CHRONIC DISEASE.
And there are so many scammers out there selling pure snake oil to unfortunate patients, profiting off of other people's misery.😠

A question...
Where can I find 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."

I still clearly remember the ivy my father used to collect. You have to understand one thing: just the act of trying a new cream carries an autosuggestive weight. It’s psychological. That’s why any effects you see vanish almost instantly. My dad used some heavy-duty Galenika ointment for about ten years straight and stayed clear. That stuff is loaded with hormones—enough to wreck your blood vessel walls if you aren't careful. Just a side note, my father was seeing specialists in a coastal town like Malibu back in the mid-80s.
People, it all comes down to how much you actually believe what I’m saying, and more importantly, your own faith in finding a cure. I HAVE THE REMEDY FOR A PERMANENT FIX.
And let me reiterate: I’ve been stuck in the official legal registration process for a herbal supplement for three years now. (Last year, they passed a law in the States where "herbal supplements" are being phased out as a category, leaving only "medicines.") The bottleneck is this globalist regulatory framework. They tell you, "Tell any institution the secret formula of your remedy first, and then we'll start the registration."
Don't wait.

With faith in God,

@ Kimberly Kim67—that isn't just my opinion; it’s simply the reality of the situation. We still don't actually know what triggers psoriasis, plain and simple.
but perhaps one day we will find out...🙂

@Michael Ramos3—exactly. We were just discussing Vipsogal a few pages back; it's a subpar medication loaded with corticosteroids that requires extreme caution.
In short, that Dr. Višnjić is a complete fraud, telling people this cream is mild enough for daily use...😠 😠
honestly, it's disgraceful.

And here you guys go again, blowing up the thread..

Regarding all those herbal creams—the only thing that actually worked for me was this nasty salve made by a local herbalist out of Bihać; you can even order it in Chicago if you know where to look.
She also swears by her honey, but the ointment costs $50 and, honestly, it smells terrible and leaves black stains all over your skin.
It’s basically petroleum and herbs. It's fine for home use when nobody's looking, but I can't exactly show up to my job in the US with black elbows and hands.
It's also a bit awkward because I ended up staining all my bedsheets with it too. And like I said... it stinks.
That's the catch with psoriasis: these ointments don't cure it, they just mask the symptoms. As soon as you stop using them, everything comes back.

Getting both the honey and the cream together runs about $83 and you have to place an order.
If anyone wants to try it, I'm happy to pass along her number.

Man, I've tried everything under the sun... I'm getting a little tired of this, but I still went ahead and ordered a cream from Germany that a friend recommended.
It's called Halicar salbe (Karlsruhe). I'll let you know how it works.

Beyond all that, you really have to tackle psoriasis from the inside out.

So, following up on my previous updates—even though I’m running a bit behind schedule—the site www.psoriasis.info is officially live. It’s pretty much a blank slate right now, so if you’ve ever expressed interest in helping build out a resource like this, please go ahead and register. I’d also love to hear your thoughts on content ideas, how we should structure things, and general organization. Basically, the more hands we have on deck, the faster we can actually get moving.
Don't worry about the design just yet; it's currently non-existent, but I'm working on a layout as we speak.
Just a heads-up: If you were thinking about using this space to run ads or promote a business, don't bother. That's not what this is for.

What do you guys think about finely chopping some wild ivy—we have plenty of it out here in the countryside—and soaking it in olive oil to extract the good stuff for a homemade salve?

I’m really not a fan of those water-based infusions; for my skin type, I need a heavy-duty ointment. My skin cracks open and bleeds in the folds if I don't keep it properly greased up.

Anyway, I’m going to give this a shot and let you know how it goes. While I wait for the ivy to infuse in the oil, I’ll try the HALICAR SALBE too. I'm curious to see which one actually works.
