I am about 100% clear now. I am dealing with the underlying infection that caused my Psoriasis for about one year now.

I still have inflammation in the knee joints (where I had my ACL surgery originally) and my elbow joints. The joint battle appears to be the longest aspect of this Psoriasis healing war. It happens in cycles, about 3 days out of every week have been inflammation, itching, rash and chunks of gunk coming out.

(Queue the music.)

None of this is the typical set of symptoms of Psoriasis I dealt with for almost a decade.

As I get to a whole new plateau of healing I wanted to take a moment to reflect and lay out the key aspects that made me consistently successful.

I want you to write the following equation down and tape it to your wall, windshield, desk at the office, wherever you need motivation:

Choice + Challenge + Cherish = Change.

Change is what we are striving for. We need to change the environment of our body so that it may heal.

Change is a process, a journey, it does not happen overnight. There is so much power that comes from it, the sheer energy alone forces change to start.

The Warrior’s Work:

1. Choice
2. Challenge
3. Cherish

1. Choice – Your power and conviction

Choice is the hardest part. This is when you must reach into your soul and spirit, NOT your mind. This is where your Power Generator is, where all energy moves and circulates. “I CHOOSE TO HEAL MYSELF”. Say that out loud, and say it again, until you become “hooked on a feeling, and get high on believing.”

I believe the choice is most important. It is the foundation for all practical transition.

Your persistence and determination will continuously be fueled by coming back to your concrete foundation. That mortar of that foundation is the modification of the choices your making.

You must seek depth in your feelings and emotions, then work on seeking balance. The mind will be influenced by this and adjust over time as it lets go of what it THINKS it needs and better deciphers FUEL vs. DESIRE

2. Challenge – Get lost in the process

Challenge is the routine practice. This is where you work the mind into a routine. You can jot down notes, a daily outline, focus in on your habits, learn about yourself, your tendencies, your passions, your circumstances, and work through them, ONE by ONE.

The challenge is changing your mind about your vitality. You will notice that your diet will follow suit as you gain higher consciousness and awareness. This then leads to inherit responsibility and accountability to your body. Challenge yourself.

3. Cherish – Give yourself a pat on the back

Cherish is the most important part. This is where joy and happiness are obtained in the practice. You must get lost in the process, and seek out motivations and inspirations from simplicity. We are so complex, the world, our work, our lives have many variables we have accumulated from conditioning. I want you to go back to the simple innocent constants of life. Breathing, stretching, moving, drinking water, the essential biological needs of the body. This is where the body’s signals can gain influence and eventually take over entirely.

Simple -> Practical -> Routine -> Guiltless -> Constructive -> PROGRESS.

So on this day where we celebrate our Life’s Work in America, I want Warriors WorldWide to celebrate in their Life’s Work. The most important work. The work that strengthens your soul and spirit and helps you fight. That is your job, and you are HIRED!

You’re the Cure – Seek Out Your Inner Superhero – Watch What Happens…

A Miracle!

This song was stuck in my head this morning when I woke up, not sure why, but that’s the beauty of music’s influence on the soul, we do not have to be sure why, we just have to be ourselves, love ourselves and take action.

We Are Guardians Of The Galaxy! We Are Warriors!

“you got a little too much sun, huh?” or “Is that poison ivy?”

My favorite, was a recent trip through airport security, the TSA gal asked:

“Oh man, is that chicken pox?”

“Umm, No…it’s Psoriasis.”

“Ok I just wasn’t sure if it was maybe contagious.”

Other TSA guy nearby chips in with: “Yea man, 1 out of every 3 people have that, it sucks.”

“Yea, but I’m healing mine, so it doesn’t suck for me!”

(That just came out of my mouth on instinct, my reprogramming is almost complete!)

Bless their hearts, people care and they are concerned, most are uninformed. I notice that I had developed a hyper-sensitivity towards people when my skin catches their eye. When I talk to a person, and their eyes are focused on my spots, It’s quite a spectacle for me, leading to a train wreck of thoughts. All the while, they may not even be thinking about my skin, its my assumptions most times, a developing complex.

For a long while, during my “why me?” years, I cursed the fact that I have to wear my disorder like a straight jacket, binded to it like padded walls. Always having to come up with a description, break it down, go over what Psoriasis is and move the conversation a different direction softly.

Then of course, the suggestions fly, have you tried this? that? the other thing? “My friend ate coconut shells and his acne cleared in a month”. Once again, this is just people being helpful, but it sometimes tends to become a tad frustrating internally.

In general, us with Psoriasis, LIVE to try anything that will work, anything.

This of course leaves me yearning, thinking about where I may go next with trying things, hygiene, maintenance, itching, scratching, self-consciousness and these thought processes transcend to emotions and run through me, all within seconds…

“I just … Don’t want to think about it!”

There is a social anxiety inherent with Psoriasis

So for years, I covered up, used my oils and creams like a good boy, and a complex slowly crept in. So, as I started my healing practice almost a year ago, I knew it would be imperative to exercise this perception through, that Psoriasis had created inside me…this social anxiety.

To approach this, I have been practicing THREE things that remove this anxiety from my life, as I remove these spots.
1. A daily yoga and inner-thinking session

2. An ‘add’ reaction to negative thoughts

3. I give Psoriasis much less credit
1. I have a routine of about 10 stretches that I do when I wake up. This session takes about 15-20 minutes and during it, I go over my thoughts…and I’ll even talk to myself…like a crazy person. During this time, I go over my task lists for the day, my financial situation, etc…then i breathe those thoughts out, and I think inwardly about the processes of my body and what it’s going through. How can I help my body get more healthy today?

I think only about my heart beating, my bones setting, muscles stretching, lungs breathing, skin working and I sense vitality. I put all the power of my mind towards this thought process, which silences it. I am getting more in tune with my body and how it works.

2. Every time I cheat and eat illegal food I LOOOoove, or have a little flare, itch attack, and I scratch till I’m bleeding (much less these days), which will spin off negative thoughts and emotions; I flip the script in my head to thinking about something I can add to calm my inflammatory response, or trigger, at that moment. I gotta get my hands busy on something constructive.

I’ll grab my liter bottle, fill it up with water, ADD in the pH drops & chlorophyll, and spend two to three minutes drinking it. Eat some cucumber or a celery stalk, to emotionally win. I will not let Psoriasis win over my choices. I will ADD something right now, to help my body.

3. When the conversations come up now, the questions fly, I have an oscar-winning documentary script ready to go. I simply answer all questions about my Psoriasis, without using the word Psoriasis.

“I had a knee surgery in December 2003, I turned very ill after that for about four months, then Poof, a spot of skin on my head and it spread from there. I believe it was a staff infection. That bacteria has harbored in my body progressively ever since living in my skin, and I have allergic reactions to that, which causes my skin to do this, it’s not contagious. I’m fighting off the infection and the rash is slowly going away…”

Now, when I’m talking to people about it, I don’t start off saying, “oh, this is Psoriasis”, instead I’m discussing a temporary bump in the road of my health & life. I give it no credit. Now, my credits roll.

The main weapon is belief. Practice leads to belief. Belief is powerful and only comes with time & practice.
What do you think? Do you carry a complex? Any anxiety to work out? Am I crazy?

Liquid Chlorophyll

My mom has been dropping this into a glass of water every night of her life religiously since the early 80s, she calls it her “green drink”. As a kid, I never understood, but I drank it. As I moved out of the house into college, stopped drinking this and my better diet she kept up, my skin issues started almost instantly with acne, to eczema, and ultimately Psoriasis. This Liquid Chlorophyll with the drops below is a potent medicine to help your body function properly again and eliminate acids. I shake it well and add 4-5 teaspoons into ONE liter of room temperature, filtered water. If you don’t mind it, add a bit more. I’ll have 2-3 liters of this “green drink” everyday. This is a vital piece of your Water Power Pack to start reversing the acidic condition and rooting out harmful microforms.

Ion & pH Booster Drops

What do you know? Water is at the basis of all my other natural remedies for Psoriasis. These drops are the easiest and cheapest way to introduce vital ionic minerals and oxygenation to your water which starts to change the internal environment. It is a 2-bottle pack: pH drops and Ion drops, shake both well before adding. I recommend drinking your water at room temperature. Start with 6 each, then in 2 weeks, double to 12 after you see how you feel, then about 3-4 weeks in, double to 24 drops each to ONE liter of water. I also suggest adding a lemon/lime to each liter as well. The result is electronically-charged water that invigorate cells to work efficiently and purify the blood. As I said earlier, this mixed with Liquid Chlorophyll I think is the most important combo.

Cell Power Drops

These drops are a bit more expensive and only available in the USA. There is another brand called “Cell Food” which has international distributors. Click here to see if it is available and affordable in your country! I suggest starting with 5 drops per liter, then graduate up to 10 then 15 drops over 4-5 weeks time, see how your body feels.

GenEssentials GREENS

I have started adding a heaping teaspoon to 8 oz. of water every morning In middle of September. This has been a great source of kale and other hard to find greens, ocean vegetables that the body can really thrive on. The taste is fine, it’s really easy to swallow. Stir it up, add 3 drops and drink it down to start the day with an excellent green flush!

Slippery Elm Powder

This is Dr. Pagano’s secret weapon (author of Healing Psoriasis: The Natural Alternative). It is probably the least tasty of the concoctions you must drink but it is the basis of rebuilding your permeable gut wall, which is what causes Leaky Gut Syndrome. This is the doorway to pathogens and toxins seeping into the blood, slowly poisoning it. These walls must be built back up, and slippery elm bark is the concrete for the job. Add a heaping teaspoon to room temperature water in the morning when you wake up. Let it steep for just about 20 minutes. Then stir it up good and start sucking it down to start your Psoriasis healing journey!

American Saffron Tea

This is the other vital tea from Pagano’s book that I swear by. I’ll make this in the afternoon, as it helps me transition off coffee in the morning. Steep this for about ten minutes and sip. It’s a tasty, tangy flavor. You can add a lemon or some stevia to taste. I also will steep a tablespoon and add it to my liter water bottle. The main property is purifying the kidneys and liver. This is an afternoon delight home remedy for psoriasis

pH Miracle

This is the book at the basis of my diet regimen. The chapters on microforms, transition and the true effectiveness of alkaline blood. The human body has the power to fight off any disease or disorder. This book by the Youngs is a fantastic educational guide to raising your pH and revitalizing every cell in your body! They give you a strong list of natural remedies that work for Psoriasis and a multitude of other dis-eases and dis-orders

Healing Psoriasis

When I first started turning towards alternative homeopathic ways to heal my Psoriasis in 2007, a friend of my brother gave me this book. At the time I wasn’t ready yet to accept the principles and responsibility to take action. The last two years, I have been absorbing more literature on homeopathic remedies for Psoriasis, and I come back to this book mainly for the instruction on cleansing the digestive tract, aka the Gut.

Body Ecology Diet

The extensive information on the bacteria life in the human body is quite mesmerizing. I don’t follow the dietary suggestions of spoiling vegetables strategically. I do believe firmly that antibiotics make the situation worse, along with most other medications after reading it. This book offers great practices with balancing probiotics as a natural Psoriasis remedy.

Hamilton Beach Juicer

Everything the body needs to start and drive the healing process can be found in green vegetables. I fully believe that green veggie juice heals Psoriasis like medicine. When you juice these veggies down the body gets the vitamins and minerals in a liquid form that is most easy to digest and put into action! This Hamilton Beach juicer has pumped out hundreds of juices for me over the past year. The key is to clean it out, especially the grate, right after use. That will prolong the life of your juicer drastically.

Phinex Diagnostic Ph Test Strips

You can easily test the pH of your saliva and urine with these strips. The best time to test is in the morning, when you are most acidic. You can then drink one liter of lemon/lime water and test again when you urinate. Sometimes, even that quickly, you will see a better result.

The Growing Pains of Cleansing My Psoriasis

About two weeks into the transition towards an Alkaline way of eating and living, I felt the die-off coming on. This was a period of time I expected, was happy when I felt it coming on, since it means that the toxins and pathogens in my tissues and blood were beginning to… well… die off (I explain this more in that post).

I loved this show as a kid & it rings true here.

This was the beginning of the phase that I am calling “the growing pains of healing Psoriasis”. Here are the top 5 issues I’m experiencing in order of chronological sequence and severity of pain (5 being the most):

1. General fatigue
2. Diarrhea & digestive pain
3. extra spots & rash
4. joint aches & pains
5. Swollen glands (lymph nodes)

These are the struggles you are soon to experience as you exorcise these demons from all body tissue. Your body is turning into the most over-worked waste management system and will remain on code red for the next 6 months, depending on how much waste removal and healing you have to accomplish. There will be traffic jams, accidents, stiffness, soreness, pain, frustration and you will be downright ornery as your body battles and removes liters of waste. Remember not only the toxin pathogens, but the waste of their death, all must go! It’s wholesale time!!

1. GENERAL FATIGUE: The first aspect that will set in is fatigue. This is natural, as your body will be rerouting energy to the digestive system’s healing process, the vital organs restructuring and reprogramming, along with all the logistics of both your lymphatic system and cardiovascular system. You will be tired, you’ll have random stretches of sleepiness throughout the day. After eating, you’ll want to rest upright for a while. The key here is to get plenty of rest. I mean TONS. I have been sleeping 8-9 hours per night, along with one 3-4 hour nap per week on a weekend day. When you are in REM sleep, your body can focus entirely on the waste distribution and removal process. Also, this premptive rest you are gaining now, will have you better prepared for the more arduous, painful phases to come as you enter the full alternative psoriasis treatment modes.

2. DIARRHEA & DIGESTIVE PAIN: I won’t get too deeply into this topic, as I think we all know the symptoms and i want to keep these posts PG-13 at most. As your digestive system starts to heal, the walls of your intestinal tract will be very sensitive and vulnerable. It is so important to lower your daily solid food intake at first in a healthy fashion during this time. So the evacuation organs can heal. The kidneys, liver, colon and all the miles of tract in between need help now more than ever. Help with the following quick tip for each organ respectively; lime/lemon in room temp water ALL the time, milk thistle in liquid form (25 drops into a cup of water and drink on empty stomach), Slippery elm tea, green juices (celery, cucumber, broccoli as base) and American Safflower tea for your intestines and colon cleansing. You should reach a consistent schedule of daily bowel movements and stay on the same pace. This is a strong sign of an improving, quality healing environment.

These are signs of waste removal!

3. EXTRA SMALL PSORIASIS SPOTS & RASH: New small spots will start to show up in groups and rash around your oldest, largest plaques. I notice the most on my extremities such as the lower leg and on my forearms. You can see my left arm here, for an example of these small batches of spots. Also, rash will break out around your lymph nodes, all signs of the body working hard to remove years of excess poison and toxins from the body tissues. As your skin has been doing with Psoriasis, helping the digestive system remove invader waste, it will now do with extra small spots, removing the invaders and their waste.

I imagine these small spots will start to vanish as my system aligns and comes back to it’s original natural balance of life’s processes. Try your hardest not to itch and scratch mindlessly, rather, rub and massage consciously  with your eyes closed while taking the deepest breathes you can, INHALLLLLLE… EXHALLLLLLLE. Over and over, focus on your breathing and center.

4. JOINT ACHES & PAINS: Your joints, especially those at the extremities, are a perfect hiding space for fleeing invaders. As your blood and tissue become more alkaline, and the pathogens are on the run, they will try to settle in your wrists, knees, elbows, anywhere they can hide out. This will result in a relative soreness, no severe pain, just stiffness and a general uneasiness. Find a good novice Yoga routine to do, to keep yourself stretched and limber. Do light aerobic exercises, such as brisk walking, or light swimming & water-treading. Stay generally active, hydrated, and rested to ease the joints and keep your cardio system moving at an even keel. Exercise and water are the best ways to keep achy joints from stopping you during the P healing time.

5. SWOLLEN NECK GLANDS (ENLARGED IRRITATED LYMPH NODES): I have been going through this for the past 4-5 days and I will tell you right now, it will be the hardest obstacle of the 5. About 2 days after thanksgiving, I woke up feeling as if I had slept wrong on my side and dislodged my neck somehow. I have done this before, and in about 48 hours, with ice, stabilizer and self-massage, it dissipates away. This was different. The pain was coming in waves, like a subwoofer, sometime shooting down my shoulders and into my arms. I believed I had a pinched nerve at first, but that pain is on a different schedule.

What I realized, after some self-education and research on the Lymphatic system and the hubs known as Lymph Nodes, that i was dealing with the pressure and pain of an excess of toxins being removed from the tissue and dumped into the blood by my white blood cells.

I believe, now that I am helping my immune system heal, it is responding by an aggressive waste management campaign, calling upon the lymphatic system to work over time, day & night, until we get to that healthy balance and alignment of digestion and evacuation.

This aggressive campaign is causing traffic jams in the major lymph hubs, located on the front and back of the neck, and back base of my skull. Target these areas with a deep self massage. Rub in a circular fashion until you find the knots, and then move those down and out through the shoulders with your thumbs and fingers. It’s best to move in a one-way direction towards the heart when you are massaging the lymph system. Help the waste trucks move in the proper direction. While you do this, take deep breathes, five seconds in, five seconds out, consistently, as you massage gently wit an oil or lotion. Do this massage 5 times a day, and use a cool pack or bag of ice, to rub down your lower head, neck and top of your shoulders.

My neck pain is finally starting to subside a bit, and I think this will continue to a certain extent throughout the major phases of the excess toxin and tissue waste dumping process.

I Am Confident That I Am Healing My Psoriasis Now

Everyone Loves a Happy Ending.

Now don’t worry, this horror story has a happy ending! I can tell you honestly at this moment, my Psoriasis symptoms have decreased by almost 50%.

How did I get to this percentage?
Well, yesterday, was the first day in five years, that I did not take a shower or use lotion! Usually, if i skip a day of my P-hygiene approach, I’m a krusty krab. BUT, yesterday was different. In conclusion, I deduce that my skin regenerates about 50% slower than it’s Psoriatic norm. Today, I feel great, my conviction and determination is strengthening each and every day. I know I’m on my way, and will stick to it as a good Warrior does.

My 72 hours green juice fast begins tomorrow and runs through to my birthday. No better way to bring in my 31st year than a full cleansing!! Wish me luck, I’ll have a full report of the ups and downs of juice fasting next week.

Yup, that’s right, I am only 5 weeks into my lifestyle transition towards a fully alkaline diet. I am making steady progress getting more and more acidic foods and combinations out of my face and replacing with green juices, alkaline-forming foods. I can’t believe how much this is helping with my psoriasis.

The main symptoms of Psoriasis I notice healing are

• My skin regeneration cycle has slowed down by atleast 30%
• Much less itching overall
• My chest and abdomen which is 100% covered in P is much softer and much less pain
• Behind my ears are softer
• Much less dandruff coming off my scalp, and my scalp psoriasis in general feels almost completely gone!!

Am I jumping the gun in my optimism? Maybe, but I feel a cool resolve in my conviction to just continue on my psoriasis diet routine, continue my alternative treatment, which is the belief that I can heal myself, and food is my medicine. Sure, I’m taking some herbs for psoriasis too, which I’ll list in depth in my upcoming eBook. “The Warrior’s Guide To Defeating P” stay tuned!!

All I know is, the scratching, the clawing, the bleeding, the grinding, the rubbing, the sanding, my scalp Psoriasis it’s all coming to an end, because this warrior is healing his psoriasis naturally, and you WILL too.
