Psoriasis [PLEASE READ FIRST POST!]

feralorca71 said:Has anyone actually come forward with results from that ointment used by "Michael Ramos3"? Has anyone even bothered to go out and buy it yet?

Michael Ramos3, please, give us an update! What’s the status? You talked about this cream so much that I honestly expected some kind of medical revolution, but instead, there’s just total silence from everyone on this board.
I'm honestly at a loss for words!!

I honestly don't even know what to tell you!!

Everyone’s just sitting here waiting for news...

If any of you guys are actually testing this stuff, please, speak up...

As for me, I’ve got nothing left to show for it—nothing at all. I’ve tried everything under the sun, from steroids to Rangelov’s stuff, various topical treatments, and strict diets (honestly, I’m so skinny now it’s scary), and even some American specialist (Dr. Schultz), and I’m just lost, man. I don't even know how to fight this anymore, damn it... I've been dealing with psoriasis since I was 19, and now I'm 33... It cleared up twice before—once thanks to that absolute killer methotrexate and once from Rangelov’s therapy—but now, I can't find a single way to make it stay away... It went from being this mild, barely noticeable thing to a total nightmare over the years... it just keeps erupting... I can't even manage to slow it down, let alone get rid of it...

Since January, I’ve been messing around with this herbalist's regimen from overseas... someone who apparently helped a lot of people... (teas to flush out the urinary tract, kidneys, liver, plus some St. John's Wort ointment) and at first, the results were insane—it cleared up about 70% in two months—but then, it came back harder than ever before.😠 😕 😠
Even though this herbalist charged me a little bit for the first round, he stopped asking for money after that; he seems like the only guy who isn't trying to bleed us dry! I know people he’s actually helped, but for me, it just didn't work... everything came flooding back... it's awful...

And my diet? Man, I’ve been sticking to such a punishing regime for years now that I basically look like a starving kid from a famine zone...
But this stupid disease just hits back... it simply refuses to leave... it feels like it’s trying to break me, to conquer me...

If only there was something that, even if it couldn't fully cure us, could at least keep it permanently under control...

I heard somewhere about some German therapies involving snake venom injections.😕

Has anyone ever actually tried that?

I was also reading on an American website dedicated to fighting psoriasis about some new miracle treatment they're testing on 30 volunteers that's supposedly yielding incredible results, but the side effects are still a total mystery because it's only in the trial phase...

Come on, people, talk to me! Tell me about your trials, your progress, anything...

Let's try to beat this monster!

Lord, please help us! 🙏

Hey there, it's Elizabeth Lee49 checking in... I've been dealing with psoriasis since I was about 16, and now I'm 35. It's been this constant battle for all these years. I don't have a ton of it, but honestly, being a young woman, it really gets to me... I've just spent years trying my best to keep everything under control and looking normal.

I’ve tried just about everything under the sun... and now I’ve switched to using those medicated patches from China. You just stick them right on the affected spots and leave them there for about 48 hours before peeling them off. They work really well for the milder cases... you can find them in all our local pharmacies here.

The absolute worst part about this whole mess is that I just can't wrap my head around why everything I've thrown at this—all the different therapies, trying that macrobiotic diet based on blood type, even completely overhauling my entire lifestyle—isn't doing squat, and honestly, things are actually getting worse by the day... I'm totally lost here, man.😠

As if things weren't bad enough already, my bloodwork came back looking absolutely perfect—ALT, AST, sedimentation, everything is totally fine, even my triglycerides are great, except for my MCHC which is hovering right at the upper limit and my LDL cholesterol which is slightly elevated...

I’m honestly just baffled, and if I were actually allowed to lose it, I would be absolutely livid, but since I'm stuck playing nice, I can only laugh through the nausea (once I finally get home from scrubbing these floors).

Hey... I'm truly sorry to see this condition hitting you so hard. It might sound a bit cliché, but you really have to find a way to stay calm through it all. How should I put this? You need to learn to accept the situation internally and just make peace with it...

I found myself in a similar situation once, with most of my body covered... Now, you'll likely need to look into phototherapy and specific creams to calm the skin down before you can move forward peacefully...

Don't bother complaining to us; we're all stuck in the same mess...😁

Gregory Mendoza3 said:The worst part is I can't for the life of me figure out why everything I've tried—the therapies, that blood type macrobiotic diet, the lifestyle changes—isn't working. Instead of getting better, things just seem to be going downhill every single day. I'm totally lost.😠

About 15 years ago, researchers here in the States did a deep dive into diet and how it impacts psoriasis. Their big takeaway? Diet doesn't really move the needle on the condition itself—it’s just good for your overall health, I guess.

Still hanging out here in Germany! I actually tracked down that HALICAR SALBE someone mentioned... I've only been using it for two days, but I'll let you guys know how it goes... Anyway, it's plant-based, so you can use it for a while without worrying too much.
I used PSORAL for itching, and it definitely helps, though personally, my itching hasn't been that bad.
And about all this talk of "advertising"... Look, we have to use actual names—like specific meds, spas, doctors, whatever—if we want to actually know what we're talking about!!!

Since you mentioned you're living in Germany... hey, try to dig around and see if there's any truth to those stories about snake venom injections they supposedly use over there to treat psoriasis. I mean, I saw stuff about it in Stern and on RTL claiming the price is somewhere between 105 and 150 euros per shot (and you need like 10 to 15 of them for the treatment), and apparently, the first patients who got them five years ago haven't had a single issue with their psoriasis since...

I'm honestly crunching the numbers, and even if it just provides temporary relief without wrecking my system, spending 2,000 bucks to be clear for the next five years seems totally worth it, even if it pops up again later...

Either way, I really want to know if this is just some urban legend, another total scam, or if it's actually a real thing that exists...

darkbison18 said:You guys keep bringing up advertising! Look, if we want to actually talk about anything useful, we have to name names—whether it's specific meds, spas, pharmacies, or whatever—so we actually know what the hell we're discussing!!!

Oh, sure... because clearly, if we stumble upon something that actually works, it’s just common courtesy to shout it from the rooftops for everyone else to hear...

I mean, how would that even sound? "Hey folks, I found this incredible miracle cure that's kept me clean for three whole years, but sorry, my lips are sealed, I can't tell you a single thing about it..."

But then again, if we start doing that, we're basically just rolling out the red carpet for those shady advertisers looking to make a quick buck off our backs.

I’m honestly baffled. If I were allowed to be pissed off, I would be, but since I can't, I just laugh because I'm so exhausted (once I finally stop scratching).
😁

My blood work is flawless too. My dermatologist told me straight up that blood work is one thing and psoriasis is another. There's really no rulebook for this; there's just zero logic to it...

Apparently, sipping on dandelion tea isn't a bad idea at all! It’s supposed to be great for your liver, and since liver metabolism plays such a huge role in everything happening with your skin... ☕

Linda Chase81 said:So, I heard through the grapevine that sipping on some dandelion tea isn't actually a bad idea, because apparently, it does wonders for your liver, and let’s be real—your liver metabolism is basically the engine driving everything happening with your skin. ☕

Look, I already know that keeping my liver metabolism in check is huge, so I’ve been slamming all kinds of different teas down my throat, and honestly, I'm still going at it full tilt... you can't forget about the kidneys either, they're just as vital to the whole process.

Psoriasis... we have to beat it. We can't let it ruin us; we have to be the ones to take it down. If it wants to live with us, fine, then we'll just learn how to live with it. That’s exactly what I told myself back when I was 23 and dealing with a massive flare-up... I barely made it through then. It's still hanging around today, though it doesn't act up quite like it used to. It mostly just bothers me on my elbows now, but honestly, those patches from China I mentioned before? They really help keep things under control. 👍

Just like all of you... I've tried everything under the sun. From heavy-duty prescription creams to those old-school home remedies my grandmother used to swear by. Honestly, I've come to realize that what actually works usually depends on whatever the person feels is helping them most... For me, I stick to using black soap (Doctors) when I bathe, and then I follow up with some baby cream. I also make sure to take Vitamin A regularly, and lately, I've been applying these patches. Every once in a while, I’ll use some butavat too—that stuff was actually really effective when I first started using it. Maybe this might help someone out...

I haven't even mentioned this yet, but there isn't a single person in my family who deals with psoriasis... yet here I am, stuck with it. So much for having a set of rules to follow...

The most important thing is keeping your head on straight. Don't let yourself get discouraged... it isn't going anywhere. If you spend all your time obsessing over it, it just drags you down even further. You have to look forward. We can live with this... we have to.

For me, I use Doctors black soap, and after I shower, I slather on some Johnson's baby cream, take Vitamin A religiously, and now I just stick these patches on, plus I occasionally use some butavat, which is honestly killer when you first start using it. Give it a shot, maybe it'll work for someone else too.

-So, what kind of soap are we talking about here? I haven't heard of "Doctors" before... I usually go for something based on olive leaf oil extracts, but when I can't find that (US product), I just grab Nivea baby wash for sensitive skin.

-Regarding the Vitamin A thing, I just load up on beta-carotene through natural sources, like eating carrots and roasted pumpkin, and I also take brewer's yeast on the side.

-What's the deal with these Chinese patches... what's the actual active ingredient in them? And is there a different version, like an ointment or something similar, that you could use for larger areas of skin?

-As for that Greek butavat, I actually preferred the ointment over the cream; at first, I had this amazing effect, but it was super short-lived, and then just like everything else, it stopped working and ended up making my psoriasis flare right back up.
