man, Robert Clark2, I see what you mean—that sounds seriously rough... honestly, I’m sitting here shaking just thinking about it. I’m actually terrified to even go to the doctor because my vision is so shot—I'm scared they'll think I've completely lost my mind... I mean, sure, I could be fine, but I'm such a hypochondriac—the second something feels off, I'm convinced I'm dying... and let's face it, there are a million different things that could be wrong😲

Has anyone here actually tried Sinoderm cream? I'm curious to hear if anyone has used it and what your experience was like.

Here’s the psoriasis lineage through my father's side.

My father......SIN1 and SIN2.

STRIC 1
.....Son and daughter.

STRIC2
.........SIN1

STRIC 3 ......... SIN1 SIN2 and SIN 3.

STRIC 4
.......Son and daughter.

You’re assuming that red patches mean psoriasis.

urbangull said:Hey everyone from North Mexico! Hey there, Robert Clark2. I’m honestly stoked he decided to share his experience here again—it's super helpful. I don't post much, but I'm lurking constantly. There's just so much noise and info flying around that I'm totally lost on what to actually use. One thing is bad, another thing causes damage... it's constant. WHAT SHOULD I DO? Just rub whatever I can find on it? Right now, nothing is working, and I'm starting to think there's no cure. Ivancic mentioned she's using wild ivy, and I really want to know how that's going. Please, give me some advice because this psoriasis is spreading fast. Bye for now!

🙂 Sending love to all my fellow psoriasis fighters in North Mexico, especially urbangull!

Don't get overwhelmed! Just speak up—tell us exactly what problems you're dealing with and what you're trying right now. I need to know what type of psoriasis you have and where it's hitting you. Check out Ivancic's latest post; you'll see she's pretty happy with her results. Like you said, there might not be a "cure," but we can definitely find relief for a while.
Keep posting and asking questions so we can at least tackle this struggle together. 🙏

Best Regards!

Just wanted to drop a quick update and let you all know that I finally grabbed that ointment from HealthCare Inc (it’s hitting my doorstep in Chicago tomorrow) so I’ll be starting the regimen either tomorrow or over the weekend.🤣Anyway, I’m going to try to post some feedback more frequently as I see how things progress. By early next week, I should have some initial impressions to share regarding the cream. On another note, I actually had a chat with his dad, and honestly, the guy just genuinely wants to help every single one of us out. Even if this doesn't work—which, frankly, I doubt since the old man was so convincing 🙏—I’m not even sweating the cash right now. I’m not planning on doing any formal testing (blood work, etc.) and I’m definitely not posting photos of my condition (the most obvious areas are "balding" spots like I mentioned before, and those aren't exactly something I want to put online 😬), but I’ll do my best to describe everything in detail. So, that’s where things stand for now...
I really have to give a shout-out to HealthCare Inc’s father for pulling out all the stops to get this done so fast; someone had some crazy scheduling conflicts with me in New York City, and I wasn't about to let this opportunity slip through my fingers.🙂

That's all for now...
I have to thank HealthCare Inc's father again for rushing everything through. Someone got stuck in New York City due to circumstances beyond their control, and I didn't want to miss this chance.🙂

Thank God we have the internet and phones to make things this easy.

Best Regards to ALL THE MEMBERS

I’m finally getting my hands on the treatment soon. It’s been driving me crazy this morning knowing it’s sitting right there in New York City. I’ve been checking in with my guy to make sure he calls me so I can swing by and pick it up. I was just talking to him, too—honestly, I’m just praying this actually works since nothing else seems to be doing the trick lately. I think I’ll snap a few photos for you guys to see, though I’m not exactly the type to show off sensitive areas...😁 I guess hope and faith really do pay off eventually.

Hope and faith always pay off if they're genuine and deep.\

So just stay strong

I’ve taken that exact same risk myself, and if I can offer any advice, don't—I ended up with a horrific reaction and severe skin inflammation. Take it from my own experience: stay far away from this.👎

We’ll just have to wait and see if the results from HealthCare Inc actually hold up when applied to everyone else, right?

So, I’m the new guy here. I’ve been dealing with this since my heart attack back on September 11, 2002—which was then followed by heart surgery a year later on September 11, 2003, involving four bypasses. Now, the flare-ups show up on my finger joints and occasionally on my elbows. And yeah, I definitely agree that skin damage acts as a trigger. I’ve been using White Salic in small amounts, along with a few other ointment-based stuff, but honestly? Most of it doesn't do much. For me, nothing beats the ocean and some sunshine. I actually tried Zorak 1.00 once, and let me tell you, it was a total disaster—I had to stop immediately because of the reaction. From what I’ve gathered so far, and just based on my own life experience, the real kicker for psoriasis is a massive psychophysical shock—basically, intense stress. To actually fix it, you have to balance out your entire system, mind and body. Everything else is just spinning your wheels until you hit a dead end.

Maria Doyle27 says: Basically, if you're one of those people where psoriasis is just a direct result of stress and nerves rather than some internal inflammatory process, you've actually got a pretty solid shot at seeing it clear up completely—and staying that way forever. ---
I mean, who knows? It might just be a matter of figuring out how to hit that sweet spot where it finally retreats, Sophie. It’s basically that whole "chicken or the egg" dilemma all over again, which is what started this mess in the first place.

I honestly have no clue what George is even yapping about with that grease stuff... we're talking about gun oil for preserving weapons, right?

To actually fix it, you have to balance out your whole system, mind and body. Everything else is just driving on a spare tire until you get a new one.

Let’s pull over for a second and look at this. Is there anything besides psychological stress that kicks psoriasis off? Think about it: even when an entire family has the genetic predisposition, not everyone gets it. Have you guys ever wondered why only one specific person ends up with it?
Could it be the individual's living conditions? Or maybe we need to dig deeper—all the way back to conception (planned or unplanned pregnancy), then birth, breastfeeding, weaning, starting school, puberty, military service, or for women, marriage and childbirth, etc.
Could any of those life milestones be the spark that sets off psoriasis in a person?

rapidpanther41 As expressed by:
I’m a newcomer here. I’ve been dealing with this effectively since my heart attack on September 11, 2002, and things escalated after my heart surgery on September 11, 2003, where they installed four bypasses. Currently, the flare-ups show up on my finger joints and, to a lesser extent, my elbows. I agree with the consensus that skin injuries tend to trigger it. I’ve tried using White Salic in small amounts, along with various other ointment-based preparations, but for the most part, they don't do much for me. Personally, I find that being by the ocean in the sun provides the only real relief. I also gave Zorak 1.00 a shot, which turned out to be an absolute disaster; I had to stop using it immediately due to the reaction. Based on what I've gathered so far—and from my own lived experience—the primary trigger for psoriasis is a severe psychophysical shock, or stress. To actually address it, you have to balance the entire organism, both mentally and physically. Everything else is just driving on a spare tire until you eventually hit a nail.

It’s a relief to know I’m not the only one dealing with this. I tried using Zorak at the 0.005 dosage, and honestly, it was excellent. However, once I bumped it up to 0.1, things went south fast. Even on a perfectly healthy goat, the reaction was an incredibly intense irritation.😠

Precisely. You certainly wouldn't want to test that out on yourself.

Robert Clark2 said:🙂 Greetings to all my fellow psoriasis sufferers in North Mexico, and a special shout-out to urbangull!

Don't get distracted by small talk; just lay out exactly what you're dealing with and what your current regimen looks like. I specifically want to know which type of psoriasis you have and where it's manifesting on your body. Take a look at Ivancic's latest post—you'll see she's quite satisfied with her results. As you can tell, there isn't a "cure" in the traditional sense, but lasting remission is certainly possible for a while.
Keep posting and keep asking questions; at least we can share this burden together.🙏

Best Regards!

The struggle is real; I've been battling this for seven years now. It shows up on my elbows, knees, ankles, arms, behind my ears, and even my scalp (though the scalp issues clear up after using White Salic lotion). Lately, it's started spreading to softer skin areas as well. My dermatologist diagnosed it as Psoriasis vulgaris and prescribed Cignol, claiming it's my only option, but frankly, I can't stand using it.😲 I've tried just about everything people suggest, mostly herbal salves made with calendula and St. John's Wort, but nothing sticks. The most relief I get is from White Salic and Zorak 0.05%, but I have to take breaks because it feels like my skin is becoming resistant to them. Some people insist that diet is the key factor, 😕 but so far, I haven't seen any actual healing. I'm 35 years old and I still haven't figured out how to live with this. Regards.

Look, that Cignol stuff is straight-up poison. Even the instructions say you can't even wash your clothes or bedding if they touch it—can you believe that? That doctor... honestly. A better bet would be ELOKOM. It's much gentler than that nightmare. I tried it myself, but for me, the results were zero.

Those fats are going to wreck you—specifically your skin. Diet is everything here. If you’re living on canned goods, deli meats, pork, soda, sweets, tobacco, alcohol, or anything acidic... honestly, if we didn't have this condition, we'd be avoiding almost all of it. It matters because whatever is happening inside your liver and organs eventually shows up on your skin. Eating better will clear your complexion, whereas junk will ruin you over the years. Supplements can help, though it depends on timing. Personally, I used this ointment from a local apothecary mixed with honey I buy, and it worked. Then, after two years, it flared back up, so now I'm counting on HealthCare Inc to finally give me some long-term peace.
