Psoriasis [PLEASE READ FIRST POST!]

Until you meet Uncle Bob, I don't believe you.

I have to say, I think you're talking nonsense. 😁...

Here is some of that "propaganda" you're worried about:

Honestly, any grandma living in the States today knows that our food supply has been depleted—it just doesn't have the nutrients it had even 10 or 20 years ago. It's actually pretty sad that someone as highly educated as you needs actual proof for that...

Who exactly are you talking about? 🤔
Give me just one solid argument to back up what you're saying?... 😉

The people I trust most are David Heber, who has spent 26 years studying plants and nutrition, serving as the Director of the Center for Human Nutrition (UCLA), Director of the National Cancer Institute (UCLA), and Director of the Plant as Food Research Center (UCLA)... and Louis Ignarro, a Nobel Prize winner in medicine ('98). He's a truly great man who dedicated his life to human health and refused to sell out his research to big pharma, choosing instead to work with the company producing natural nutritional products—something he's incredibly proud of.

Think about it: you're supposed to eat fish three times a week just to get enough Omega-3s for your body. Who is actually doing that? 😕...
(And specifically "North Atlantic" fish at that?...) 😁

P.S. My points are backed up by the top experts in the world... 😉...

Because they're limited and unproven. 😢...

From what I've seen here, the only ones who have actually provided concrete info are MacGregor and talia; everything else is just guesswork and theorizing... Plus, I personally know the lady in that photo who cleared up her psoriasis, so I'm certain it's true and that MacGregor is right. 🙂...

I honestly don't know how you still have the energy for this, but I always seem to have more than enough. You've already been banned more times than I can count.

What could actually stop him?

They might as well just open a jail cell for him.
How many tries will he need for a new burner account?
Which one of his unbanned accounts is he going to use next?

The winner gets a photo of MacGregor in a rustic gold frame! 😬

How could I not have the energy?

Come on, walk me through the reasoning behind this ban...
Do you actually have a logical explanation backed by facts—or is this just your personal opinion, a whim, or maybe just the result of some "inner circle" clique of people who love to hear themselves talk?

I'm waiting... 🙂

ps: I've already sent complaints elsewhere—enough is enough!

Angela Rodriguez2 said:Just waiting on it... 🙂

😂 😂 😂

looks like I'm stuck with the photo! 😍

Honestly, it feels a bit silly even responding at this point because the reason you keep getting your posts deleted—and why you keep getting banned—is always the exact same thing: you’re being way too pushy with those blatant advertisements for your own products.

Casey Palmer5 said:Honestly, it feels a bit pointless to even reply—since the excuse for deleting my posts and banning me is always the same: supposedly being rude or pushing products.

Can you actually point to a single instance in this thread (or anywhere else) where I—SPECTACULAR—have tried to sell someone something or advertise a product?

The fact that I talk about health in a way that doesn't sit right with you (or anyone else) is something we could debate... if we wanted to, I guess. 🤔

It’s just sad—this forum is called "Health," yet actual health doesn't seem to be the priority here. It feels more like what certain people think matters most, preventing others from sharing their perspectives or backing up their claims, regardless of the facts or arguments presented.

So, I'm waiting... where is a single product mentioned or advertised in this discussion?

Seriously, where have I—SPECTACULAR—ever promoted a product, if that's truly the reason behind my ban?

There's a remedy for that kind of overstepping (and no, that isn't a medical ad 😁), and I am genuinely asking you to start acting like the moderator you're supposed to be. Just because you're a future doctor doesn't give you the right to insult or dismiss anyone who doesn't fall in line with your views or agree with the "official medical consensus." At the end of the day, HEALTH is the absence of disease, while you and the medical field focus entirely on the diseases themselves.

Bottom line—I expect the ban on the SPECTACULAR account to be lifted. Your reasoning and explanations don't align with the decision to ban someone simply because they're inconvenient to you, and trust me, I won't stop asking. 😉 🙂

He’s either breaking the rules or just being straight-up arrogant 🙄

Gregory Turner71 said:They’re either breaking the rules or just being arrogant. 🙄

I don't think it's about arrogance—it's more about having the same right to talk things through and share thoughts regardless of where someone's from, their education, race, religion, or gender... who knows what else. It really just comes down to democracy and free speech, because it feels pretty obvious that some people are being given more weight than others here.😠

Gregory Turner71 said:They say about 2% of the population—which includes me (yay... 🙄 )—deals with this incredibly tedious condition...

So, I thought it might be helpful to have a thread here where us 2% "lucky" winners could swap stories, tips, or just virtually lean on each other for support.

Anyway, is there anyone else here dealing with this nuisance? How are you managing, any smart advice, or anything at all?

If the point of this thread is just COMPLAINING, then I probably shouldn't have bothered posting in the first place... but if the goal is EXCHANGING EXPERIENCES AND ADVICE... then I have every right to share my own journey and conclusions. And anyone trying to dispute that has plenty of legal options to deal with. 😉

You absolutely have the right to have psoriasis and vent to people who feel the same way... but you also have the option to check the facts and meet people who actually cleared up that (annoying) skin issue. I can facilitate that for you—I can even give you the NAME AND CONTACT INFO for someone I know for a fact beat psoriasis, so you can reach out directly (without me involved), get some firsthand advice, and maybe—if you want—start the path toward getting better.

But honestly, for a lot of people, the goal isn't healing, it's just endless complaining... and in that case, I'm sorry I even stepped into the fray, sorry. 😢

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions." 👋

Do you really think I have nothing better to do with my life than spend my time trying to prove something to someone who won't even listen?

As far as I'm concerned, you can take your complaints straight to the Water Department.

And honestly, you're lucky I've got enough on my plate professionally that I don't have the time to sit around watching and reacting to every single one of your little marketing outbursts...

Casey Palmer5 said:Do you really think I have nothing better to do with my life than try to prove something to someone who isn't even proven?

If it’s any consolation—and you can take it up with the Water Department if you want—that's on you.

Besides, I'm buried in work lately, so I don't exactly have the bandwidth to keep tabs on every little marketing stunt you pull.

Rest assured, the Water Department will definitely be hearing about how you're handling things.

It’s honestly pretty sad seeing such biased people acting as judge and jury—deciding what's allowed and who gets to speak... and the worst part is, they just shut down anyone they don't personally "like" for no reason at all. 👎

Anyway, moving on... 👋

..figured I’d jump in on this thread too. I've been dealing with psoriasis since I was three. The first time it hit, my whole body was covered. After bouncing between a million doctors, my parents decided to try an alternative route—we actually went to Canada to see baba spasiti (I think they might have slightly misremembered her name). Anyway, she whipped up this herbal concoction for me (it was sulfur-based and smelled like absolute hell) and my psoriasis cleared up in just a week. It flared again in sixth grade after doctors "concluded" the source was my tonsils. I had them removed and the psoriasis receded—but not for long. Now, reading your posts, I'm honestly shocked by something. Not one single person here has mentioned ViPsoGal ointment. It's produced by Galenika out of Queens, and as far as I know, it’s been recognized for ages as the only real cure, or at least the go-to ointment for psoriasis globally. After a ten-day treatment, my psoriasis vanished (except for my elbows and a bit on my scalp) and it never came back in the way it used to. That was 20 years ago. People used to say ViPsoGal caused side effects, but I haven't felt a thing—at least not yet 😁, and from what I can tell, even the doctors can't agree on that. I tried using Belosalica to clear up the last little remnants, but it didn't really work. Lately, I've been using this ointment from Sweden called Daivonex, which works wonders; honestly, my own laziness (I'm not great about applying stuff regularly) is the only thing keeping me from being totally clear.
Basically, you won't find ViPsoGal registered here in the States, but you can order it through private pharmacies, pick it up in Canada, or just head over to Mexico to get it.

fadedsailor932, I am honestly just so thrilled to hear you’ve managed to get past that!
My sister—bless her heart—has tried absolutely everything under the sun (and yes, I still vividly remember those days with baba spasiti and that unbearable stench lingering in the house 🙄 😁 ), but in most cases, there just isn't a magic fix. Psoriasis is one of those chronic conditions you basically have to learn to live with—it's more about management than a total cure. Now, eating clean (or, let's be honest, actually maintaining a healthy lifestyle) can certainly bolster your immune system and make you feel better overall, but it won't magically make the psoriasis vanish into thin air.

nimbledriver81 said:... Eating healthy—you know, living right—can definitely boost your system, but it's not going to cure psoriasis.

I'd bet against that—it might just work. 😎

Has anyone else dealt with absolute nightmare nail issues lately? Like, seriously, how did you guys actually fix them?

Angela Rodriguez2 said:Want to bet that it's possible? 😎

I'm dying to hear what you think!

nimbledriver81 said:My sister tried pretty much everything (yeah, I still remember Grandma Spase and that unbearable stench in the house 🙄 😁 )...

...it's fine—I'm not that old yet 😁 someone might actually remember Grandma Spase. save the small off-topic: (back when we used to visit her down South, coffee was like gold. Since my mom was a nurse, we always had plenty on hand. We pull up to Grandma's place one day, and the house is packed with Americans, Germans, and Englishmen, all waiting around and offering cash. Then my mom pulls out a whole pound of White House—man, I'll never forget Grandma's reaction: "Forget the cash, just get over here so we can have some coffee..." 😁

Angela Rodriguez2 said:Can we just bet on whether it actually works? 😎

Oh, please—give me a break! You sound just like one of those tacky late-night infomercials.

fadedsailor932... even my folks used to swear by coffee. 😎 If it had actually done anything, I’d have bought them the entire plantation by now...

nimbledriver81 said:Give me a break. You sound like some cheap TV commercial.

If you're looking for an ad in every single sentence—well, I guess you'll find one. 😵

As long as you're talking nonsense, expect someone to try and talk sense into you 🙂
... or at least have a good laugh at your expense. 😁 😂

nimbledriver81 said:My take comes from someone who knows a bit more about nutrition than what you'd find in some random grocery store pamphlet. For instance, if you eat fish, you don't need omega-3 capsules because those fatty acids are naturally found in North Atlantic fish. You get your vitamins and minerals from fruits and veggies. You get fiber from produce and whole grains too. I mean, who are you trying to sell this stuff to? Anyone actually serious about their health can manage without magic potions. I stay healthy without any supplements, even though I have a genetic predisposition for psoriasis. I had a flare-up on my elbow last year (probably just stress), but it's gone now. And no, I don't go chugging "natural" remedies. Sometimes I'll grab a drink or have some alcohol. Chocolate is my absolute favorite food.

I totally agree! 😬
Macgregor, please come back down to earth, because only those of us living with psoriasis truly understand how it feels. ☕
In the ten years since I was diagnosed, all over my body, people have tried to sell me every miracle cure, vitamin, mineral, or soap imaginable—especially those folks who make a living peddling "all-natural" dietary supplements. Not a single one worked for me, except for the Eloc cream my dermatologist prescribed on day one, plus plenty of good old-fashioned sunshine and the ocean breeze.
See, after living with this since I was eighteen, I've learned that my psoriasis is triggered by stress, or basically anything that causes my immune system to dip. For example, I completely flare up during my period, even if I felt perfectly "clear" just days before. The same thing happens whenever I catch the flu or an infection—the second my immunity takes a hit, my skin goes wild. And thank God my immune system is practically seasoned from all the antibiotics doctors pumped me full of throughout my childhood for every little sniffle... 😠
It's true that anyone dealing with a chronic condition should try to live healthy, which means eating well, but that doesn't mean you need to swallow a handful of pills every single day. Just eat nutritious, high-fiber foods, watch the junk food, don't overdo the booze, and you're set. 😬 It sounds easy, but how do you actually control stress? 😕 I'm a very sensitive person, and that's becoming a bigger challenge in my life. That's why I think you have to learn to manage your emotions—either through sheer willpower or maybe some calming aids (like Persen at least). Personally, my go-to is a little beer (and I actually take it for medicinal reasons because I deal with kidney stones 😬). Before anyone tries to call me a mindless drinker, let me be clear: I have tried every supplement under the sun, and even when I put my faith in Omega-3, nothing changed. My skin only settles down once I use my cream or spend time in the sun (whether it's a nice afternoon out or just a few minutes in a tanning bed). In the winter, soaking in a bath with sea salt works wonders too. I'm repeating myself: I have ten years of experience here. After a decade, I simply know that this is a condition my own body triggers, and I have to live with it. I haven't completely given up hope that it might just vanish one day, but that depends entirely on me, not on some herbalist craze or similar phenomena.☕
Maybe what I said didn't come across quite right, but my heart was really just in helping those who’ve just been diagnosed and are feeling totally overwhelmed. I'm living proof that you can absolutely thrive with psoriasis! My best stretches—you know, without it—always happened when I was genuinely happy, stress-free, and finally learned to embrace myself... No matter how many weird looks you get from strangers, please don't hide away from the summer sun. The sunshine is truly your best friend!
If anyone has questions, feel free to shoot me a DM anytime. 😍
Sending love to everyone! 😬
