urbangull said:Hey everyone, looks like things are pretty positive in here with all the good vibes. Does anyone actually know anything about DIPROSALIK? I heard you can pick it up over in Bulgaria.

It's basically the same deal as Belosalic—you can find it right here in the States too. It's just your standard corticosteroid and salicylic acid shit.

Chris Morgan67 said:So, I was just browsing through The Psoriasis Foundation website...

Apparently, about 10% of the population carries the gene for psoriasis, but it actually manifests in only about 2-3% of people.


A doctor I spoke with over in Germany once mentioned to me that roughly 10% of the European population deals with psoriasis...
Supposedly, it shows up in every fourth generation!

Greetings from a worried mom!

🙂 Generally speaking, there's definitely a chance, but there aren't any set rules for this. I totally get where you're coming from—as a mom, you watch over your kids' skin so closely, and every tiny dot feels like a huge deal. Try to stay optimistic and keep a positive mindset regarding your health and your children's too.
Look at my own situation. For the last three generations (as far back as the elders remember), nobody in my family—neither on my dad's side nor my mom's side—has ever dealt with psoriasis.
But then, suddenly, it hit me out of nowhere, like I just dreamed it up myself!

May you always stay happy, and may your biggest "struggle" in life simply be psoriasis.
Best wishes and a hug!

Thank you so much!😘

Has anyone actually tried that ointment and cream from Dimitrovgrad over in Mexico?

I haven't personally tried it, but I did give them a call—they offer both a tea and an ointment. The tea is pretty much identical to the stuff you'll find in one of Maria Treben's books, though the ointment is a bit of a different story.

Oh yeah, they're everywhere! Honestly, the best results came from Brexy-Mario and Brexy-Mario over on the Krstarica forums.👎

I just wanted to mention that I was looking through The Psoriasis Foundation handbook, and several pages suggest that apple cider vinegar can be quite beneficial for our condition.

People dealing with arthritis use it to massage their joints, mix it into creams for topical application, or even add it to their baths. It’s also supposedly great for soaking nails if psoriasis has taken hold there...

So, starting today, I’ll be taking a couple of tablespoons mixed with a bit of honey every day. I’ll check back in with my results after a month.🙂

It seems worth a shot—it’s pure nature, inexpensive, and it certainly won't do us any harm...

So, here I am again after the weekend (it took a bit longer than usual because work was absolutely slammed yesterday, so I didn't have a second to write anything). It’s been 12 days since I started using the balm, and honestly, I am beyond thrilled. I won't beat around the bush, here's the status report: my scalp is completely clear, and the only thing left are two tiny little spots that you practically have to hunt for just to see them (the third one is basically gone). Behind my ears, everything is clean too, though I’d say my skin tone isn't quite back to its natural shade yet—it actually looks a little darker (not sure why that is), but again, you really have to go looking for it to notice. My ears have also tightened up and the color has mostly returned to normal there. On my chest, the patch is almost entirely gone, and I think it’s only a matter of days before it vanishes completely 🙂 . Finally, I’m seeing actual changes down below, and I mean significant ones. What can I even say besides that it's freaking phenomenal 🙏 and that my "pride and joy" finally looks like what it's supposed to look like instead of some red blotch. My skin is finally how it should be (it’s hard to get more specific without sounding vulgar 😬 ), and for the first time in forever, I don't feel disgusted looking down there. I forgot to mention that I went to a tanning salon on Friday and again yesterday, and I had zero issues (maybe that helped a little, who knows?), because I checked with Michael Ramos3 first to see if it was okay, and his answer was—if you didn't have problems before, you won't have them while using the balm either. So, I gave it a shot and, hey, I survived... 😁 The only thing is that the skin on my eyelid darkened a bit because I had this tiny little spot there that I've also been treating with the balm. I don't know what it is, so for now, I'm just using a regular cream and we'll see how it goes. I’m planning to hit the tanning salon tomorrow, so I'll see how my eyelid reacts, and then I'll decide whether to keep tanning or not. As you can see, almost all my patches are gone, so my skin function and appearance are pretty much back to normal. Now I'm stuck wondering when it's officially "done," because for a few days now, I've had this constant itching everywhere, though it isn't unbearable. Is that enough, or am I supposed to keep itching for a longer period? I don't know (I'll check with Michael Ramos3), but I'll probably keep using the balm for a few more days, maybe even longer. My only real headache is that I'm running low on the balm, and I think I'll need to order another pack if this drags on any longer. We'll see, as those blind fools say... 🤣

copperviper102, don't you worry about a thing! I've been successfully managing my psoriasis with sun therapy for years now, and honestly, I haven't had any issues at all... ☕
Of course, I make sure not to stay out for more than 10 minutes a day 😬

Are you really going to a tanning salon every single day?

That seems a bit excessive to me. I used to go once a month and it worked perfectly fine, but I'm wary of skin cancer since I have quite a few moles, and those beds can be pretty dangerous in that regard...👎

Chris Morgan67 said:Where do you head every single day for your tanning sessions?...

That feels a little too frequent for me. I used to go every single month and things were actually fine, but now I’m honestly getting worried about skin cancer... especially since I have quite a few moles, and those tanning beds are just so risky when it comes to that...👎

Oh man, not every single day... 😵 I make sure to do this twice a week right before swimming season kicks off. Since I have it all over my body, I need to get things cleared up in time so I can actually enjoy the sun... without having random strangers pulling their kids away from me at the beach! 🤣

You always end up having a solid spot secured on the beach, anyway. 🙂

Thank God for these kinds of results.

You might be one of the people who achieved the fastest results (12 days).
That just proves there are no set rules; every body determines its own pace (regardless of how bad things looked at the start).

Just stay persistent for a little longer until you reach total Healed status.

And then, for the first year, you'll be a bit unsure if it comes back. The second year, you'll worry a little less, the third year even less, and hopefully, we'll keep going like that until we meet the Lord.

With faith in God, we look forward to more results.

People dealing with arthritis use it to rub their joints, mix it into creams for their skin, or even toss it in the bath. It’s also killer for soaking your nails if psoriasis is acting up there.

Starting today, I’m going to try taking a tablespoon or two of Oct with a little honey every day. I'll check back in a month with the results.🙂

It’s worth a shot since it's all-natural, won't break the bank, and honestly, how much harm could it actually do?

Does that association have a website?

Oh, excuse me, I forgot to include it...
http://www.psoriasis.org/home/

I actually requested some brochures through this site, and within a month, they sent me about ten little booklets covering everything about psoriasis from A to Z...🙏
There’s some really great reading material there, and it’s all free.👍

http://www.psoriasis.org/treatment/p...e/topicals.php
Apple cider vinegar
Many ancient cultures used different types of vinegar (derived from dates, figs, etc.) for medicinal purposes. Apple cider vinegar has been used throughout the years as a disinfectant or soothing agent.

The Psoriasis Foundation hears from people who apply apple cider vinegar to their skin as a treatment for psoriasis. People add it to the bath, mix it with a moisturizer, soak fingernails and toenails in it, and apply it directly to the skin with cotton balls or pads. The vinegar can be purchased at the grocery store.


@Linda Chase81😬 My mistake, I misunderstood you. I also prefer to head to the beach before the season ends, since my skin tends to prepare itself for the sun... it makes tanning much easier and prevents reactions...

You might be one of the fastest responders out there (only 12 days!).
It just goes to show that there aren't any set rules—every single body reacts differently, regardless of how bad things looked before you started.

You just have to stay consistent for a little while longer until everything is completely Healed.

After that, you’ll probably spend the first year wondering if it’s going to flare up again. Then, in the second year, that worry lessens, and by the third, it’s even smaller... and hopefully, that continues until we meet the Lord.

With faith in God, we look forward to seeing more progress.

I've just been lurking and reading so far, but I'd really love to get in touch with someone who has been Healed. I'm not sure how to do that.

Unfortunately, I can't say I'm any more satisfied than you are. After nine days, the results are barely noticeable—especially on my hands, and even more so on my back, legs, and stomach. The itching hasn't stopped either; it’s constant, though just a mild annoyance. My patches have shrunk a bit, but the redness is still way too obvious. I've got 11 days left of vacation, and if this stuff doesn't clear up or at least show some real improvement by then, the whole trip is going to be a disaster. On another note, has anyone actually used Zorac gel? My doctor recommended it.
