I have decided that I should perhaps share a bit of my own experience regarding this insidious and relentless condition.
I was diagnosed with psoriasis over a year ago; specifically, I began my treatment journey on Oct 10th, 2006.
It started at my elbows, then migrated to my buttocks, then my knees, followed by my thighs (both front and back), then the tops of my feet, moving down to my shins and calves. It continued spreading to my lower back, my forearms, the tops of my feet, upper back, chest, stomach, and finally, my upper arms.
To put it bluntly, the disease had progressed to cover nearly 80% of my body.
Only my head, thank God, remained clear through some sort of miracle.
Now, I am not here to complain—most of you understand better than anyone just how grueling this illness is.
Initially, I attempted to manage the condition using conventional medicine, but when there was no improvement whatsoever, I decided to try a different path.
To make a long story short, out of that 80% of my skin—which used to be entirely covered in red, swollen, sometimes scaly patches, and sometimes fresh lesions (in truth, almost everything was afflicted, with only tiny islands of normal skin left)—it is NOW down to about 2-3% total coverage (if I were to aggregate all the remaining spots and specks)!!!
And so, I wanted to reach out and tell you all: there is hope!!!
I am not so naive as to claim I am completely cured, but considering that I haven't even been to the beach or sat in the sun for two years, nor have I applied any ointments or visited doctors, the results are FANTASTIC.
In the areas where large patches of skin (some as big as 6x6 inches) were once affected by this affliction, there is now only slightly darker pigmentation and a few lingering red dots.
AND ALL OF THIS IN JUST ONE YEAR!!!
I owe these results to a certain herbalist and his tea. This was coupled with a moderate diet—specifically avoiding certain foods—as well as abstaining from tobacco and alcohol.
The man lives in the Ozarks, where he gathers medicinal herbs for his blends, much like they would in the Appalachian mountains.
I found him through a recommendation (it wasn't easy to track him down), as I had heard he had helped more people achieve complete remission from psoriasis than anyone else.
His tea is a blend of naturally dried medicinal herbs; about thirty minutes after brewing, one takes 3-4 sips throughout the day.
That is how I used it, and the results have been wonderful.
Looking through various internet forums and knowing everything I myself went through because of this loathsome disease, I had the idea to ask him if it might be possible to help many others like me.
He promised me we could give it a try. He packages the tea in 250g bags, costing 25 dollars. One package lasted me about 15 days, though that depends on the strength of the brew, which is determined individually (for some, that amount might last 20 days). For more info--there is a PM 😉 , jadesailor14
Carol Wright4 said:So, I was told that psoriasis is triggered by a bunch of stuff, including this whole "conflict of separating yourself from something" thing. Apparently, you just have to become aware of it and deal with it internally. They’re saying once you actually face that issue, the psoriasis should clear up within nine months.
Just a quick question for everyone!
Ever dealt with a major separation? Like moving to a new city or losing someone close to you that you just couldn't let go of—either because it hit too hard or because you subconsciously refused to accept it?
I just want to know how much of this is actually true. 🙄
If that's the case, then everyone dealing with psoriasis should be picking up on it.
I know someone who had such a hard time leaving America for the States that their psoriasis just vanished. 🤷

So, I figured I’d jump in here and share my own experience dealing with this sneaky, persistent disease.
I was hit with psoriasis over a year ago—specifically, I started my treatment journey on Oct 10th, 2006.

Basically, the disease spread to almost 80% of my body.
Thankfully, by some miracle, my head stayed clear.
Look, I’m not trying to whine here; most of you guys know exactly what this struggle feels like.
At first, I tried the standard medical route, but since nothing was working, I decided to try something different.
To make a long story short: out of that 80% of my skin that used to be covered in red, swollen, scaly, or raw patches (honestly, everything was inflamed with just tiny islands of normal skin), right NOW, the total affected area is only about 2-3% if I add up all the remaining little spots!!!
And hey, I just want to tell you all: there is hope!!!
I’m not delusional enough to say I’m totally cured, but considering I haven't been to the beach or in the sun for two years, and I haven't even been slathering on creams or running to doctors, the result is FANTASTIC.
In the places where huge sections of my skin (some areas were 6x6 inches!) used to be covered, now there's just some slightly darker pigmentation and maybe an occasional red spot.
AND ALL THIS IN JUST ONE YEAR!!!
I owe these results to one herbalist and his special tea. Also to a moderate diet—basically avoiding certain foods—and cutting out tobacco and alcohol.
The guy lives out in the Ozarks, where he gathers medicinal herbs for his blends.
I found him through a recommendation (it wasn't easy getting to him), because I heard he has more absolute success stories with psoriasis than anyone else.
His tea is a blend of naturally dried medicinal herbs; you drink 3-4 sips every half hour after boiling it, throughout the day.
That’s how I used it, and man, the results have been great.
After browsing various online forums and knowing everything I went through because of this nasty disease, I had the idea to ask him if he could help others like me too.
He promised me we could give it a shot. He packs the tea in 250g bags for $25. One bag lasted me about 15 days, though that depends on how strong the tea needs to be (for someone else, that might last 20 days). For more info--just send a PM😉 , jadesailor14
Robert Clark2 said:It’s all very sweet of you to pretend you’re here to help us, but from where I'm sitting, that doesn't seem to be the plan at all. Honestly, I’d say your true motives lie elsewhere.
You posted this exact same thing over on the MyCitin psoriasis thread, so if you ask me, you're just out for a profit.☕
Best regards!
placidfox7 said:There’s this one cream called Sorrell that has the exact same ingredients as Dovonex. You can pick it up at pharmacies in Canada; it’s basically $27 just calcipotriol. I just haven't made it down to Herzegovina yet.
Best,
wearycrane11 said:Hey everyone, I'm curious about one thing: is Daivonex and Dovonex actually the exact same cream? It seems to me from some previous posts that they might be different... What exactly is in Daivonex? Honestly, I'm a bit anxious about what I'm applying to my skin. It’s really important to me that these are plant-based products rather than hormonal ones! Cheers.
Michael Ramos3 said:God help and good day to you all.
It’s honestly mind-blowing how some people just refuse to learn anything new—or anything actually useful, for that matter.
Why the immediate hostility the second someone shows up? How on earth do you all decide right out of the gate that this person is just trying to scam you?
Are you all psychic or something?
It’s pretty staggering to see certain members only popping up in threads like this—whenever a newcomer arrives, they either jump in to crush their spirit by claiming their condition is incurable and hopeless, or they basically put them on trial after they've barely even typed a single post.
You attack him, claiming his only motive is profit. WELL, SO WHAT IF IT IS?
What’s the goal of the people making Dovonex? What’s the goal of the folks at NIVEA? Is it to make us look good or to make money? Nobody ever seems to bother asking that.
Maybe they use those profits to fund something radical, or pay for a sick kid's medical bills, or maybe they're just blowing it on themselves, or building a church—who knows? We can't know. But we *do* know they have a product that works for us and does the job. So, what then? That's a question of morality, really.
Which is why I’m calling on everyone here to stop being so hypocritically "moral."
What if, after a few months, it turns out the guy was being completely honest?
"Judge not, lest ye be judged"—that's an old sentiment from around the year 2000 (well, a bit older, from a very famous thinker), but it still holds water.
Let’s just welcome the man and his intentions. Let him get to know us, and it'll be incredibly easy to see where he stands and if what he’s saying is true. If it turns out he's full of it, the truth will be his biggest judge. He’ll disappear pretty quickly on his own. But let's also think about the reward if he's telling the truth.
With faith in the Lord,

It’s honestly kind of incredible how some people just seem incapable of learning anything new or useful.
Why the immediate hostility toward someone just stepping through the door? How on earth do you all decide right away that his only intention is to scam you?
Are you all perhaps clairvoyant or something?
It’s actually pretty staggering to see certain members only showing up in situations like this—whenever a newcomer arrives—only to jump in and either immediately discourage them by claiming their condition is a cruel, incurable disease with no cure, or just condemn them outright after they've barely even posted once.
You attack him, claiming his motive is profit. Well, even if that were true, so what? I guess.
What’s the goal of the company making Dovonex? What’s the goal of the folks at NIVEA? Is it to make us look better, or to make a buck? I don't think anyone has ever bothered to ask that.
Maybe they use that money to fund some cause, or pay for a sick child's treatment, or maybe they're just spending it on themselves or building a church; we can't really know, but we *do* know they have a product that works for us and does its job. So, what are we supposed to do about that? It’s a question of morality, really.
And so, I’m asking the members here not to engage in such blatant hypocrisy.
What if, after a few months, it turns out the man was being completely sincere?
"Judge not, lest ye be judged"—that’s an idea from around the year 2000, or so I recall, from a very famous figure in human history.
Let’s just welcome the man and his intentions; let him introduce himself, and it will be quite easy enough to see what he’s truly after and verify what he’s saying. If it turns out he’s selling something that doesn't work, that will be the greatest condemnation he could face. He'll likely just disappear on his own pretty quickly. But let’s also consider the reward if he happens to be telling the truth.

Robert Clark2 said:Hey everyone,
- I’ve been dealing with psoriasis for over 37 years now—which, let's be honest, is a lot longer than some people on this forum have even been alive.
- I’ve tried everything mainstream medicine has to throw at me, but honestly? Not much of a significant breakthrough there.
- I’ve also messed around with all sorts of "old-school" home remedies—not going to list the specific makers or anything—but again, nothing really moved the needle.
- I actually have a contact list full of names and phone numbers for over 41 different herbalists whose products I’ve tested out.
- Living by the coast means I spend plenty of time swimming and soaking up the sun, so I probably understand how the elements affect skin a bit better than someone stuck in the Midwest.
- My diet is basically centered around using as much high-quality olive oil as possible (the local stuff).
- I have completely mastered my condition.
- Mentally, I'm doing just fine.
- My outlook is more than positive; if it wasn't, I wouldn't even be typing here—I'd be busy smelling flowers from the roots up.
When you've lived with psoriasis for 37 years, you learn how to read between the lines—and no, that doesn't mean I'm psychic.
Warm regards to you all,
