I managed to get my hands on a little bit, and people say it clears up psoriasis, but I have no clue how or why!
If anyone has experience with this, please let me know. It's for my 9-year-old daughter—she was diagnosed with psoriasis a month ago, and nothing the doctors recommended seems to be working at all.
Thanks so much!

I definitely wouldn't experiment like that with a child!

Look, Googo actually cleared up his psoriasis—stop coming at him. If you actually bother to read the old posts, you'll see plenty of testimonials proving he isn't lying; he's putting himself out there, full name and all. I mean, maybe it won't work for everyone else, but you gotta give the guy credit.
Hey, Googo.

I don't really know what this Googo guy is actually doing here, other than citing some person from overseas, and honestly, it looks like his info was scrubbed by a moderator anyway. These herbalists? They aren't exactly doing it purely out of the goodness of their hearts either; we have our own issues here, and I doubt they make enough just helping people. They want to turn a profit too... but I guess that's just how society works nowadays—it's all about the bottom line and making a quick buck.

It doesn't matter if he mentioned someone from abroad. As for the data being deleted, that's simply because you can't post phone numbers, addresses, emails, or advertisements on this forum. You get that, right? That’s the only reason it was removed, and it's clearly explained right down there in his post. Those are just the rules of the site, nothing more.

On top of everything else,
it's just not polite or ethical to post someone else's private details anywhere
plus, there's no guarantee the info is even accurate
Everyone here can see this, and it wouldn't be cool for someone to show up at a stranger's door without knowing their intentions first!
That’s why I scrubbed those details
Just use the PM feature to swap that kind of info instead
If the person had a business website and posted a link, that would be different since they're choosing to make that info public
Sound good?

Michael Ramos3 said:Hey there, good people.

I’m on this forum every single day, lurking and reading, but honestly, one thing just doesn't make any sense to me. Like, look at the thread history—it's almost 100% just people posting about some random topical cream or ointment that even the user themselves admits doesn't work, or maybe gives some half-baked results that vanish in a heartbeat right before the disease comes roaring back even worse than before. And then you see all the questions—where do I get it? how do I use it? how much? why? It’s a joke because we all know deep down there are zero results.
Are you seriously going to sit around waiting for some pharmaceutical giant to finally get a drug approved through the FDA, which—let's be real—will probably take years, and then have to shell out thousands of dollars abroad just to get cured when you don't even have the desire to live your life right now?
Look, I've got a real, incurable condition here, not some imaginary thing. My actual medical nightmare was a massive hip surgery when I was seven years old, which left me with a leg that's four centimeters shorter than the other for my entire life, a crooked spine, and chronic pain that flares up every time the weather shifts. There is no cure for that, but for this stuff you guys are talking about, there might be. I am telling you this with absolute certainty, and I swear to God. My records are public and out there for anyone to see. Just remember what I said, because one day you'll look back and realize I was right.

With faith in God,

Best, Bane

Over the last ten days, my psoriasis has absolutely exploded; I’ve got thousands of tiny little spots erupting all over my body like a rash. I have never seen it look like this in my entire life. It hurts, it stings, and the itching is so intense it gives me the chills and keeps me wide awake at night, and of course, absolutely nothing is helping. In just about a month and a half, I went from having maybe 5% coverage to this total nightmare. In a word: unbelievable. And it isn't stopping—it's still active and spreading... like a damn volcano.

Given how bad things are, I feel like I'm the perfect candidate to test out the ointment from Michael Ramos3.

I'm actually thinking about taking photos of myself at every stage of this treatment and keeping a full-blown diary right here on these boards...

If you're actually down to test your cream on me, send me your info so I can reach out, buy it, and get it delivered.

Let's prove once and for all whether this ointment actually works or if it's a complete bust.

Lord God, have mercy on us.🙏

I've been dealing with psoriasis for 11 years now, and honestly, nothing seems to work except for steroid creams and getting some sun ☕

Back in my first year, I actually had a long period of remission. I really thought I was done with it for good... but of course, I was wrong. It came back even worse than before and just wouldn't budge 😲 😕 Now, I just try to manage it during the summer months so I can at least look somewhat "healthy" once winter hits 😎

It’s been so wonderful reading all the success stories on this forum! So many people have finally understood their skin and managed to keep things under control using simple oils and ointments—everything from olive oil to classic Vaseline. To me, that feels way smarter than constantly testing out those messy pharmaceutical sludges that don't even work anyway ☕

Thanks in advance.

By some stroke of divine providence, my father worked as a civilian for the military. I still remember the very specific smell of that red grease he’d smear on his hands and then sit around the house half-naked letting it dry. That grease is the same in every army; you guys have it too, and it's known for healing cuts. But people, be CAREFUL.

That grease preserves metal weapon parts. In other words, it's a PRESERVATIVE. Look, if it works, fine—apply it to a cut for a couple of days, the cut is gone, and you stop. Applying this over a long period isn't smart, in my opinion.
And just so you know, nothing helped my father with his psoriasis either.

I'll say it again: my father tried almost 90% of the treatments people post about here during his long career dealing with psoriasis, and as everyone knows, they didn't work. I've even written about methods he tried on himself that border on insanity.
The ointment he made with God's help that actually cured him was probably the result of 1,000 attempts (he dealt with psoriasis until he was 36).

With faith in God

Regards

I’d really love for IBM to give my ointment a shot; it usually takes anywhere from about three weeks to maybe three months to see the full results.

The core group of regulars here have already grabbed some of the stuff, so I’m just hoping they’ve actually started applying it by now. Honestly, let's just sit tight for a bit—God willing—and hopefully, they'll be the ones doing all the talking instead of me.

WITH FAITH IN GOD
BEST,

Healed originally posted this back on April 30th, and since we're already past that twenty-day mark—and he did mention you could start seeing positive movement around then—I’m calling on theFORUM MEMBERS who picked up his ointment. Can you guys give us the lowdown? What are you seeing during this initial phase? He mentioned it can take up to three months to fully kick in, which actually lines up with what I know about skin regeneration... it pretty much takes two months for the skin to completely cycle through and renew itself.👍 .......
Look, I'm not saying this because I'm being impatient; it would just be incredibly helpful to track how things progress over time and if anyone is running into any side effects, especially since the type and severity of psoriasis varies so much from one person to the next.Octopus mentioned wanting to keep a therapy journal, but honestly, I think the members who actually have the ointment in hand should be the ones leading the charge on that.🙂

I've officially kicked psoriasis to the curb, and I really want to give a shout-out to Korkyri222 for having my back through all of this. I know some of you are skeptical, but honestly, there's nothing I can do about that—I'm just telling it like it is because I actually want to help people out. And for those claiming I'm just doing this for a payday? Trust me, I couldn't care less about the money; I have more than enough to get by.

Octopus, I think I should just post a photo so we can see how things look. It might help stop some people from making a huge drama over just a few spots. Personally, I'm doing alright. I’ve noticed that if I don't shave, I can actually see the hair growth patterns on my neck area too. Things are looking best since I started using that T-gel a few months back and switched to shorter hair. For me, the worst areas have been my back and legs, with a few spots on my stomach and arms. I'll upload a photo so you guys can see. Joshua Allen54, since you managed to clear yours up, the least you could do is tell us exactly how you did it so others can try. Send me that contact info you had deleted from your DMs. And Healed, you're always talking about that ointment of yours but you never give any specifics on where or when we can actually get it—you won't even reply to my DMs.

So, I'm running into this exact same issue. I'm pretty new to the computer world, so I'm still figuring out how to even navigate these forums... but here goes nothing! Let's see if I can actually get something useful out of this post

Well, it actually turned out pretty great! Just throw some more advice my way!🙏

Michael Ramos3 said:Look, I’m telling you right now, almost 90% of those treatments people keep rambling about on this board are things my old man tried during his lifelong career dealing with psoriasis, and let’s be real, they didn't do squat. I’ve even posted about some of the crazy stuff he used to try on himself that honestly pushed the limits of common sense.
The ointment he finally whipped up—with God's help—which actually healed him, was probably the result of like a thousand attempts (considering he was battling this thing at 36 years old).

With faith in God

Best,

It’s basically common knowledge that for a huge chunk of people living with psoriasis (man, I hate even saying the word "psoriatic"😠), the condition either settles down or disappears entirely as they get older. It might just be a fluke, though, because flares can always pop back up if you hit certain triggers like stress or drinking too much alcohol...

I totally believe you're being straight with me and that what you're saying is true... I just can't help but wonder if that ointment didn't just help fix the skin damage while the actual psoriasis itself just decided to leave him alone... maybe that's the catch... because from what I gather, he hasn't had a flare in 7 years (thank God)...

So, have you guys actually tested this ointment on other people with psoriasis? Like, how many people have tried it? What kind of age groups are we talking about? How long had they been suffering before this, and what were they using to treat it previously? And most importantly, how long have they been clear? Are they still applying the ointment even after it cleared up? Have there been any cases where it failed?

These are all just things to chew on... (and hey, I’m not doubting Michael Ramos3's word here, I’m just looking at the stats so we can actually figure out if this ointment really works)

I’m dealing with this pretty heavily myself—like, I’ll notice if I don't shave, the beard starts growing in on my chest too, which is wild.

Unfortunately, even though it’s hitting you pretty hard, I have to tell you that compared to me, you’re actually doing okay (if you can even call this "okay")😳

Man, if you had the same tiles I have on my patio...😬 and yours aren't even laid right, they're sticking up in some places and dipping in others, just like mine... (wish I could find the contractor who did this...) 😉

Anyway, regarding the photos, you'll get them right before I start applying the stuff (because unfortunately, my psoriasis is still in full expansion mode right now)... and then every 10 days... and if things start changing at a faster pace, then every 10 days works

I'm also thinking about getting some blood work done... cholesterol, triglycerides, liver enzymes, all that, and I'll post those results before I start, during the process, and hopefully at the successful end (God willing)

I'm just wondering (and maybe Michael Ramos3 can weigh in here) if it's safe to put this ointment on healthy skin too... because I have thousands of tiny spots with healthy skin scattered in between them... so it would be impossible to treat just the psoriasis areas alone...

Best to everyone
especially my buddy Nebojish (I'm not kidding)

🙂

So, I just had this random thought hit me—and look, maybe it’s a total fantasy, and definitely probably won't work on the first try—but hear me out. When you dive into all those different online forums dedicated to psoriasis across the country, plus all those various national foundation websites that exist to support people, there’s this massive, untapped potential right there. What if we actually launched something entirely new? Something radical that pulls all that energy together to create a real, tangible impact? We could build something that actually moves the needle and provides real help toward getting people with psoriasis healed. Just an idea, but it could be huge.

It’s like looking at a Wikipedia page for psoriasis, except way more intense and actually serious...

Imagine if there was actually a massive, centralized hub where everyone dealing with psoriasis—I’m talking patients, doctors, even those people into holistic stuff—could all just hang out in one spot. We could actually swap stories, share what’s working, and maybe even team up to brainstorm entirely new therapies. Think about it: we could track stats, log our results, and connect everything on a massive, global scale so we aren't just flying blind. It would be huge.

So, if I were actually calling the shots, how would I go about gathering data, systematizing everything, and totally leveling up the whole experience of dealing with psoriasis therapies? Man, where do you even start? It’s such a mess right now. You’ve got people jumping from one treatment to another like they're playing musical chairs, and honestly, it feels like we're just guessing half the time. If I was running the show, I’d start by building this massive, centralized hub—not some clunky government database, but a real, streamlined system where patients and doctors are actually talking the same language. We need to collect real-world data, and I mean *real* data, not just what gets recorded in some sterile clinic file. I’m talking about tracking how different biologics or topical creams actually perform in everyday life—like, does it work when you're stressed out in Chicago, or does the humidity in Miami mess with the results? We need that kind of granular info. Then, you take all that data and you use it to create these hyper-personalized treatment roadmaps. Instead of a doctor just saying, "Hey, try this cream and see if it works," the system should be able to say, "Look, based on thousands of similar cases, this specific combination is your best bet." It’s about taking the guesswork out of the equation. We need to systematize the feedback loop so that as soon as a patient starts feeling better—or worse—that info hits the system instantly, helping refine the protocols for everyone else. And let's talk about the "experience" part, because that’s where everyone fails. Dealing with skin issues isn't just physical; it's mental, it's social, it's exhausting. A real system would integrate mental health support and lifestyle coaching directly into the treatment plan. You shouldn't have to hunt down a specialist on your own after being told your skin is clear; the care should be continuous. We need to bridge that gap between the pharmacy and the actual living room. If we could actually link clinical outcomes with patient quality-of-life metrics in a way that's fast and automated, we wouldn't just be treating symptoms—we'd actually be fixing the way we approach the whole damn disease. It sounds ambitious, sure, but why settle for the status quo when the current way is clearly broken?

With top-tier, expert moderators running the show, plus all those dedicated working groups, specialized teams, and massive projects being tackled in a ton of different languages—all backed up by a killer search engine and perfectly organized sub-forums, topics, and categories... it’s just built different.
So, let's talk about these translators... honestly, what even is that? It’s such a mess.

At the end of the day, it’s all about pooling every single bit of knowledge and experience we’ve got so we can actually work together to stumble upon some real breakthroughs and a freaking CURE... if God wills it, of course.🙏 )

especially my buddy Nebojish (not joking)

🙂

🙂 I've been reading your posts, and man, I really admire your attitude. I can see you're in a tough spot. Honestly, I'm in a similar situation, maybe even worse. You're asking about how to apply Michael Ramos3's ointment (given there are a thousand spots). I've got it a bit different since I don't have any room for error. I'm heading out tomorrow to grab a paint roller (just to give my hands a break from the exhaustion). It's been two weeks since this thing went on the offensive.🙏 It's hit about 60% of my skin, and it keeps spreading. Who knows when it'll stop.😕

Something like a PSORIASIS WIKIPEDIA, but, you know, way more serious...

A centralized hub where everyone—patients... doctors... alternative medicine folks... whoever—could exchange their experiences... work together to develop new therapies... analyze statistics... log results... and have it all connected on a global scale...

Just to streamline the gathering and systematization of everything we know about psoriasis treatments and lived experiences...

With top-tier expert moderators... working groups... teams... projects... available in multiple languages... supported by a powerful search engine... organized topics... sub-categories... specific threads...
with translators included...

Essentially, just pooling all existing knowledge and experience so that through collective effort, we might arrive at new insights and a CURE... (if God wills it🙏 )

That's a beautiful vision! But... seriously? First off, the medical establishment doesn't care about global results. Sadly, everything is driven by profit! So, I can say with total certainty that not one single alternative practitioner is going to step up, let alone a real professional... and doing it for free??? That's just our luck!
