I have it really badly for almost 30 years. Expensive creams, uvb light box treatments…all just band aids that worked for a while. Ditched all grain…ALL GRAINS. No wheat, oats, rice, nothing….. I was clear after 6 months. See Dr. William Davis’s Wheat Belly book. He had cardiac patient do this and their skin cleared as a secondary effect. Check it out. Still clear by the way.

I'm coming to the conclusion that the vast majority of our niggly medical problems are caused by the basic American diet. We consume pounds of sugar and carbs throughout the week and that fuels the problems. Have your loved one try faithfully abstaining from the consumption of sugar for a week and see if that helps her situation. It sucks BIG TIME to cut out all sugar, but if the condition has no fuel then it will die.

No cakes, candy bars, soda pops or deep fried foods. Anything with vegetable oils are verboten. Anything with sugar, aspartame, honey, or natural sugars like watermelon or apples need to be put on the "do not consume" list.

A basic keto or carnivore diet will change her life in a matter of weeks. It's just to make her realize that what she consumes is deleterious to her health. 99% of our diets are unhealthy. Just try to make her understand that folks 200 years ago didn't have processed food and they were healthy.

Dr. Ken Berry, on youtube, is a great source for what are the best types of food to eat. God bless, and I hope she gets better, soon.

I have tried DMSO with a organic cocoanut oil base rubbed on inflamed areas with good to excellent results. But that's me. I would try ivermectin on anything at this point. It has relieved me of so many problems I can't not be amazed by it's endless uses.

Try Ivermectin cream directly on it.

Revodude is correct. Link to article: https://pharmacia.pensoft.net/article/114753/

Key takeaway: Conclusion: Topical Ivermectin’s anti-psoriasis activity increases IL-10 levels and could be used efficiently to alleviate psoriatic symptoms. Its combination treatment with Clobetasol holds promise for the management of psoriasis

Edit: Walmart sells ivermectin cream (low dose) no RX required. It’s on the shelf next to lotions for lice.

DMSO pharmaceutical grade (mixed with distilled water 50/50%) and rose hip oil helped my scalp hugely

This Canadian guy had very severe psoriasis and eliminated it with a very restrictive diet. https://ggenereux-blog.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/ggenereux.blog/2026/02/02/getting-started-and-succeeding-with-the-low-vitamin-a-diet/amp/

He documents his journey extensively, so you can read his blog all about it. His diet eliminated Vitamin A from all sources, and that's all he did. He comments in his blog that, after 5 years in or so, in retrospect he would've done more detox instead of just eliminating certain foods.

I had a skin rash which sent me researching detox, and I tried the carnivore diet but with lots of water and sea salt. The rash went away, and also a bunch of other skin conditions like very frequent eczema which I had gotten so accustomed to that I didn't think about it, but was wonderful to get rid of. Eczema, at least according to some, is similar to mild psoriasis.

At any rate, this echoes what others say about the carnivore diet and eliminating carbs. It's tough for people to do, but it's a much healthier path than suppressing the skin reaction with ever-stronger creams and steroids. And from experience, after the switch it's very easy to stay on it simply because it feels good. I feel much healthier than I was before I started the diet. Be aware that switching to carnivore without a lot of hydration (the water and sea salt) will often cause digestive issues for many, but with enough hydration it's an easy transition.

This follows a protocol from a healer named Darko Velcek. The top 2 articles from searching his blog and are very relevant. https://darkovelcek.wordpress.com/?s=Psoriasis. The intro to his protocol is here. https://darkovelcek.wordpress.com/introduction/

Be aware that English is not his first language so the writing has lots of mistakes. Even without adopting a formal protocol, I'd bet she'd eliminate the psoriasis within a week by going carnivore. Whatever you recommend, I hope she listens.

(I've found that offering to give information if they want it is a lot more effective than just giving advice without them asking, no matter how much pain they are in or how much they complain. If they don't want the advice they tend to complain less, and if they do want advice they'll listen better. Either one is a win.) Good luck!

So I suffer badly from psoriasis and don't have a clear cut fix yet myself. Part of the problem for me going carnivore is my wife is Italian, and asking an Italian to cut out all carbs from the daily meal is like asking a vegan to eat a steak. Also, I have to deal with gout as well, so both make the carnival diet a challenge, though I would like to try it for a while to see if it helps.

However I have found the following has helped reduce my flare ups (and these are all over me, my lower back is basically one huge patch):

• light: uvb in particular helps, but you have to clear the plaques off first or it's limited. I used to go to a standing sunbed once a week for 12 min and it nearly cleared up entirely back then. Since covid though there are none in my area now so that's out for me.
• stress: it is an auto immune disorder, and stress is a huge trigger. My first flareups were in my teens properly and it was due to the stresses at school. Now I'm living in a high stress situation constantly, and it's making itself known a lot for me, but finding ways to manage and reduce stress are key. Doesn't help when it's the psoriasis stressing you out either 🙄
• food: I have noticed it is worse with certain foods the previous day. Oddly enough I have more trouble in the uk than the us for this though, as it was clearing up in places it had been for years when I was in CO for roughly three months (that was a high stress time too so it made zero sense). However in that time in my diet changed a lot
• cbd/weed: further to the CO period I recently had, tbh I was enjoying the rocky mountain highs as it were to help with managing my father passing, which might have contributed. That was something I had been indulging for decades prior and to be frank it was a lot better back then.

I can't speak to the pesticide issues or a no carb/grain diet, but if those work for your DIL let me know so I can push for more steak and potatoes my side 😂 rooting for her as a fellow sufferer!

Google bleach treatment for that. I have heard so many stories about people with psoriasis who have tried numerous types of medications only to find out that a particular bleach bath with a small amount of bleach soak in the tub--- healed their psoriasis.

I agree with the light therapy as well!!

Finally, we heard about a Bleach Bath. Yes, That's is right...a bleach bath with regular Clorox (has to be Clorox) no perfumes, extra thick etc. Just regular bleach. What he is doing is taking 1/4 cup bleach and adding it to his bath water. Once done in the bath, he rinses off with clean water. He does this every other day.

IT IS AMAZING!!!! He has been doing this for less than 2 weeks and it is 95% gone!!!

another website with bleach bath but other stuff included below!

Dr.Madalene Heng’s Diluted Bleach Psoriasis Treatment Regimen

Madalene Heng has a more involved regimen, which consists of: diluted bleach baths, her curcumin topical gel (Psoria-Gold, turmeric) applied onto plaques that were previously wet with alcohol, oral antifungals like Diflucan 200 (fluconazole), and oral antibiotics like Keflex. This combined treatment should kill bacteria inside and out and inhibit phosphorylase kinase (curcumin's action) that is overactive in people with psoriasis, causing psoriatic scaling.

Madalene Heng’s regimen is a very good one to consider. Some people say that bleach baths alone were not enough. Same with antibiotics, antifungals, and curcumin gel alone. The combined approach developed by Dr. Heng is much more efficient. Dr. Heng claims that her patients generally clear almost totally in 4 months. Then the treatment has to be tapered properly.

Got a friend with long-term psoriasis. On a monthly injection that keeps it manageable, but he's not completely clear. Basic topicals don't cure it for him either, but helps alleviate discomfort.

1. My friend concluded that it was more so that conventional pesticides used in non-organic foods that were agitating his psoriasis (and health in general). Yes, the gluten STILL had some effect, but it was secondary in terms of how much it affected him. He found this out when observing that his flare ups were very mild in comparison when he ate organic breads, although he chooses not to eat much bread anyway in his diet. He eats plenty of rice just fine btw since it's gluten free. Although expensive, avoiding conventional pesticides (like glyphosate) in fruit and vegetables by buying organic is highly recommended too.

2. It would be helpful if she tests to find out what other foods causes her to flare up. It varies so much from person to person so it's hard to know. My friend flares up hard when eating eggs or sauces with egg ingredients (mayo, alfredo sauce). Pasture-raised and grass fed made no difference. Baked goods and other foods with minor amount of egg have a negligible effect, but he limits that stuff anyways. Sesame oil also flares it up for him.

3. Avoid too much fast-food. There's just so much crap in that stuff that it's just healthy in general to avoid it. Not saying you should avoid it 100%. A good compromise is to eat more homecooked meals than fast-food during a week.

4. On carnivore. He gave it a really good shot (lion's diet variation), but it was miserable for him. And though it was healthier, paleo had a negligible effect on his psoriasis (I think because he was eating non-organic veggies). I think it's a more realistic perspective to look at those diets as elimination diets. The health comes more so from what you eliminate than what you're eating IMO, although yes, there are good nutrients and minerals in meat, but I don't think that's the thing that's making the person feel better. It's more so what they DON'T consume (pesticides, seed oils, overly processed) anymore. There are other elimination diets that you can try besides carnivore (AIP, Whole30, etc).

Although you already know this, when finding out what foods trigger flare-ups, it's best to observe the effect after 24 hours. They don't necessarily happen right away. Sometimes the effect can be subtle, so it's best to be VERY observant the next day. There are formal food allergy tests too if you want to try that. Healing psoriasis patches can take time (weeks even) so hopefully she'll be patient when she doesn't see results right away. What's important right now is to identify what food makes her patches noticeably more itchy than usual the next day.
