A Warrior Curing Psoriasis Naturally

How I Make Alkaline Water To Heal Psoriasis

I wanted to post a quick update on how I drink my water each day! This is the #1 most important part of my Psoriasis diet plan!

I get the question a lot, and so here’s how I drink myself healthy!

I Strive to drink 3-4 liters of pure water every 24 hours.

▶ Pure Alkaline Water heals Psoriasis

Water source must be as pure as possible, this is extremely important. If tap water is used, be sure to at least use a filtered spigot or pitcher. Check for old copper pipes in home that may be rusting into the water supply. Copper must be eliminated from the body to fully heal Psoriasis.

Look for any regional water delivery services from springs sources that is steam distilled and delivered in BPA-free jugs.

When purchasing water on the go at stores, look for Evian brand. It’s widely available and the most beneficial water to drink. Avoid Dasani, Aquafina, Fuji, Smartwater, Nestle Pure, Deer Park and the other widely available top brands. Those are useless to the body.

Store water in glass or BPA-free plastic water bottles (http://amzn.to/2si0Gbe) or jugs at all times.

Upon waking, drink 1 liter of pure water with 1 whole lemon squeezed in. Drink in 10-15 minutes as a cleansing flush for the liver. Lime can be used if lemons are unavailable.

Lemon water has an alkaline-forming reaction in the body due to eliminating bad acids and their sources. Even though lemon is acidic, it has alkaline effects on the body due to anti-septic and anti-microbial benefits. It also delivers a good amount of trace minerals.

For 2nd liter, I add liquid chlorophyll which oxygenates the blood and alkalizes the gut and bowel. I use this paraben-free liquid chlorophyll (http://amzn.to/2Fe3ETB)

For 3rd liter, I do either liquid chlorophyll or lime. Sometimes, I add both.

A pinch of Celtic sea salt (http://amzn.to/1ZgzvE0) can be dissolved into water for trace minerals. Himalayan pink salt can be used if Celtic is unavailable.

Cucumber slices, shredded ginger and mint leaves crushed into water can also be used to make alkaline-forming water and to change up the flavors and keep water interesting.

Drink 16oz of coconut water from green young coconuts in afternoon or evening. This provides liver with electrolytes and gives you a nice energy boost. Look for the 16oz steel cans that have no added ingredients or sugars.

A baseline rule is to drink half of your body weight (lbs) in fluid ounces of water. For example, I weight about 200 lbs, so I focus on at least 100 fluid ounces, about 3.5 liters at LEAST.

The more water you can consistently drink, the faster you will heal. Coconut water counts as part of your daily intake.

Keep a raging green river flowing through your body at all times Warrior!

Natural Psoriasis Supplements I Use

These are the Psoriasis supplements, tools and treatments I use to heal.

View, Download & Print My Psoriasis Diet Spreadsheet Here.

Last Updated: April 2nd, 2022 (Listed in order of importance):
Psoriasis is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s on the skin, but not due to a skin issue. All of the remedies I link here I use myself and they are for healing the body, which will then clear the skin. The gut, bowel, lymph and other systems need repair. Keep your blade sharp and your mind open!

Zinc (liquid zinc sulfate) – Zinc is depleted quickly on chronic inflammation state and is necessary to healing process. It is hard to find in whole plant foods, so I supplement.
Water Cup YETI Rambler 30 oz – Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Tumbler w/MagSlider Lid – This cup is easy to clean and durable. My current Rambler has been going strong for FIVE years. With the lid on, you can drop this cup and nothing will spill.
Magnesium (glycinate) – Magnesium is depleted quickly on chronic inflammation state and is necessary to healing process. It is hard to find in whole plant foods, so I supplement.
Vitamin C – The detox vitamin. A constant flow of this along with water to help it absorb is a powerful change in the body. It kills pathogens and the causes of psoriasis while helping organs eliminate waste. Vitamin D you get with sunlight exposure. That is a must as well. Vitamin C is needed for proper elimination, lymph function.
Vitamin B12 (adenosylcobalamin with methylcobalamin) – B12 is the methylation vitamin, it is used by the liver to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream. This enhances all plant foods you add to the diet. We are what we absorb. The plant and soil probiotics above also produce B12 as a byproduct.
EPA & DHA – Omega Fatty Acids – Plant-based, it comes from algae. Do not use fish oils.
Atlantic Dulse flakes – Sprinkle on guacamole, hummus, salads, meals. This seaweed is very good at eliminating heavy metals from the body.
Herbal Tinctures; Cat’s Claw, Lemon Balm, Nettle Leaf, and Licorice Root – That’s in order of importance. Cat’s Claw is most important. I like to use these alcohol-free tinctures for my herbs. I shake them well, then add a dropper or 2 each to my 32oz water cup, I put in a couple drops of zinc and fill with filtered water. I drink this down over a couple hours. You can also make herbal teas if you like. The important part is getting the FOUR herbs I list here above in your body consistently to kill the pathogens causing psoriasis.
Chaga Mushroom powder – I add it to my smoothie, coffee and tea. You can also take in a little warmish-hot water, stir up and drink it down.
Lion’s Mane Mushroom powder – Same as Chaga. Lion’s Mane helps heal the brain. You will think and feel better all day.
Reishi Mushroom powder – Seeing a trend here? Mushrooms are working WELL for me healing my skin, and also improving my mental health, brain function, nervous system balancing.
Mushroom Complex MyCommunity by Host Defense – Simply put, mushrooms improve and calm Immune System functions by helping eliminate bad pathogens that cause chronic mystery, inflammatory symptoms.
Spirulina Powder – I add to my smoothie. A responsible binder and eliminator. This algae helps the body remove heavy poisons.
Pitaya (Dragon Fruit) Powder

OTHER ITEMS TO GET:

Castor Oil (cold pressed) | Castor Oil Organic Organic Highest Quality
Himalayan Pink Salts for Bath– Add these to bath water and stir till dissolved. I also add Borax powder to neutralize chlorine and clean the skin.
Organic Coconut Oil for Bath and Cooking – I add a cup to my bath water and dissolve it into warm-hot water.
Organic Hemp Seeds
Organic Shredded Coconut
Organic Turmeric Powder
Probiotics. I have taken Dr. Ohhira’s Professional Formula, Saccharomyces Boulardii from Klaire Labs and Ozona Organics Psoriasis Formula both for multiple years with good results. I don’t currently take them, I feel once the gut is well, gut microbes balance in the natural ecology of a quality nature-based diet and lifestyle. Read my full post on probiotics for psoriasis here. My diet is focused on supporting my own gut bacteria health which is the long-term strategy. Probiotics help you out of severe symptoms and balance the healing crisis responses you will face. They can reduce the pain and itchiness you go through while healing.
Liquid Chlorophyll (paraben free)
Essential Oils Diffuser – Bring healing in through aromatherapy and leave a pleasant scent all throughout your home. You add a few drops of essential oils and fill with filtered water, then turn it on for hours to clean the air, kill off mold and mildew and breathe in deep every time you walk by.
BFB-1 Essential Oil Blend
BfB-2 Essential Oil Blend
Lavender Essential Oil
JUICERS:
1. Angel Juicer Pro – This is an incredible machine. It’s very expensive but is in a league of it’s own and will last forever. I got one as a gift, which is the only reason I have one. If you have money to spend, this is a worthy investment. I have used it for almost five years, it continues right along as new.
2. Omega Masticating Juicer – An affordable slow-revolving masticating juicer. This ensures you get the most bang for your buck with the celery you buy. You get more of the life-giving enzymes and cluster salts with a masticating juicer.
3. Hamilton Beach Juicer – Very affordable and durable juicer. I used this one for over 2 years, 100s of juices, never broke down.
Nutribullet Magic Bullet Blender – Very affordable and durable blender. Very easy to clean, have a nutritious smoothie ready in 5 minutes.
Celtic Sea Salt and Himalayan Pink Salt – dissolve a pinch in water for trace minerals or sprinkle on food.

Hemp CBD (cannabidiol) supplements & topicals heal Psoriasis:

The skin has it’s own ECS (endocannabinoid system) which has receptors that are activated by cannabinoids. There are very interesting studies and trials showing the efficacy of CBD on the ECS in healing Psoriasis and other chronic skin issues. CBD benefits the nervous system and immune system directly and quickly. This brings instant relief to itching, pain, redness and reduces inflammation fast.

CBD will take a little while to activate the ECS’ receptors. As this happens, I have experienced a lot of positive benefits. I have noticed MUCH less anxiety, incredible pain relief, less itching/scratching, better sleep, balanced moods, less impulsive, more relaxed, shaking in hands and feet is gone, and of course, the inflammation on my skin going way down, awesome stuff.

Quality is everything, so look for manufacturers who are cold-processing the whole plant which ensures that the CBD (cannabidiol) remedies are fully-laced with all the most beneficial cannabinoids and other compounds, including natural terpenes. It’s what they call Full Spectrum, and it’s designed to provide outstanding results. These products also contain NO or virtually no THC, which is the compound that creates the “high”.

HERBAL TEAS FOR PSORIASIS:

Add some raw honey and cinnmamon for taste and more healing.

FRUITS, HERBS, VEGGIES, JUICING, SMOOTHIES:

Click here to view and print my Shopping Sheet for foods to eat, things to avoid, herbs and supplements to consider.

Eat as much fruits during the day, try juicing and water fasting during the day sometimes. The less the body needs to digest solids, the more it can focus on elimination and healing, the faster you heal! Remember this is not permanent, just as long as it takes to get well.

Cure Psoriasis Naturally By Mastering These 4 Skills

This video is a tutorial for the set of Qigong breathing stretches that I do most mornings, with a major focus on breathing, balance and alignment. Follow me in this video until you remember the movements yourself and continue them. I take deep rhythmic breathes in and out as I move in and out of the circular motions. Focus on balance, silence and rhythm of energy flowing and circulating. Stress then circulates and alleviates naturally while you do this.

By the time you are done with a routine, say 10 minutes a day, you will feel a high from the oxygen and very loose from flushing out the acids from your body. Drink your first liter of water with 1 whole lemon or lime as you do these. They will change your life. This was the final piece to my puzzle that cleared Psoriasis. I plateaued until I started this and some Yoga poses as well.

These movements are vital to becoming a TRUE PHWarrior in full sync with body, spirit, then mind.

Here are the 4 skills to master for your WoW – (Way of the Warrior):
http://www.psoriasisdiary.com/heal

1. C.O.W.S. – Chlorophyll, Oils, Water, Salts – Read my guide for more and commit this to memory. Every choice of what you put in your mouth starts with COWS

2. Master COWS as a liquid medicine kit, starting with water, then adding in fresh green juicing. While slowly getting these supplements as you can afford them, involved daily –

· Omega 3,6,9 – 1
· Chelated Zinc – 1
· L-Glutamine – 1
· L-Glutathione – 1
· MSM or Glucosamine – 1

· B-complex – 1

3. Oils and Superfoods to add (Click here to join my FB group and see the full list)

4. Qigong stress circulation and oxygen stretching exercises from this video – do them every day as many times as you want each day.

Rise Up! Time To Reaffirm Convictions For Curing Psoriasis

As I went through my stretches today, (for the first time in over a week), I focused on gratitude and self-affirmations. So as I sit here now sipping down some American Saffron tea and lemon water, getting back to the plateau I had reached, I want to mark my journey to date, some ups and downs, and then reaffirm my practice using the agreements I originally built it on.

Confessional: I reached an amazing level with my healing and clearing of P in November 2014, right at the 2 year mark of my decision to take action on my own and go down a radical natural path. That two years is the foundation for the rest of my life. It was the hardest two years of my life, the scariest, I faced most every fear, I found ways to move all of my energy and choices away from fear entirely.

So, going into this two year mark, I decided I needed a break from my strict regimen. I had trips planned, holidays coming up, lots of awesome things going online with Psoriasis. I knew that slipping from my practice was inevitable, and eating some of my favorite foods was welcomed! The unfortunate aspect of this hiatus was my eating choices, and slipping the farthest I had away from my practice… I’ve been having the funnest few months of my life in other words, lol!

My body is very resilient now. I felt somewhat invincible. Well, now, my body needs me again. Psoriasis is creeping back on my scalp, navel and groin, and this is not the Way of the Warrior. I know firmly these things about myself now:

I know what to do.
I know and believe my natural practice works.
I need to assess my budget to to get what I need when I can.
I am a Warrior now, with an open mind and a strong community.
I take action and full responsibility, I am accountable to my body, listening to and following it’s signals.

I have realized these past few fun months, that I spent with many family and friends, that I fell far below the plateau and level my body needs me to be at to keep fighting and win this battle with Psoriasis, whatever is causing it, for Good.

In other words, now is the time, for me to Rise Up! It is time build up my convictions back to where they were two years in and continue to increase my plateau of health and vitality.

Next time, I will be better, when I decide to take a ‘hiatus’. Taking a break is natural and it is IMPORTANT. This is part of our lives and we must live. I stopped living by the 7th year of my Psoriasis. It was defeating me completely. I have reached such a higher level, and I see this happening in many others’ lives now that I work with.

This beautiful strength, coming from self, and vesting all unknowns. This incredible journey through the worst and best of times. The pain that must be experienced to leave pain behind. This is always a journey, that is life. Getting lost in the process, and being the best I can be at all times, even when I feel my worst.

I will Rise Up on the ground, and use that same Earth to heal thyself. We fall, so that we may learn to pick ourselves back up.

I love and live by a book called The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz, a brilliant book. I will reaffirm my self and my convictions, to dedicate and persevere based on these same simple agreements I built my practice on two quick years ago. Here they are for those who haven’t come across this short must-read yet. This is from the book’s website, then I’ll discuss what each means to me below:

1. Be Impeccable with your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don’t Take Anything Personally: Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions: Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best: Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

These guidelines really impacted my paradigm shift and practical transition towards healing myself of Psoriasis. The process of going down an alternative natural route is very unknown and frightening. Going against the tide of better judgement of others who love and care about you. My process is based in self-care and loving myself. I have noticed lately, as I had very good times, but ate very acidic, drank, smoked, that I fell away from my self-care and hence my peaceful alignment.

So today, I will Rise Up! and I am doing this by following the agreements above as they mean to me, which is:

Be Impeccable with my Word: I have to be honest with myself, and therefore easy on myself as I transition back to the daily juicing, water and eating clean that got me to the highest level I have ever accomplished. I will do this by being completely transparent and candid with Everyone who cares about me and follows me on this journey. This journal entry is the proof of my honesty and my integrity is my word, I will always speak the truth.
Don’t Take Anything Personally: I’ve realized I’m losing patience with myself, feeling upset with myself that I slipped to a point where my body is regressing a tiny bit. This is a useless motivation. It does nothing for me, and it is because I am taking it personally. Once I do that now, I take other things personally, that others do or say to me, I get very sensitive and short. This is a bi-product of slipping away from my regimen. Health and vitality of my body is in totality, not in separation. I need to live and treat others this way, the practice I’ve built, at all times and Never will I be “the victim of needless suffering.” That is a powerful proverb to hold close, avoiding needless suffering.
Don’t Make Assumptions: This has certainly transformed my life. As soon as I went online with blog posts, and a group on Facebook, everything changed. Over those six months from July – December 2013, when I made my blog and started Psoriasis Healing Warriors, which is my proudest endeavor of my life, I became fully dedicated to persevering and clearing Psoriasis forever. It was a beautiful moment, and the moment came because I reached out, and stopped assuming that I was alone. My assumption of being alone came from nine years of dealing with a disorder that drives loneliness. It made me a recluse, and the more I disappeared, the less I lived and it was ALL based on my assumptions of what all others thought of my P. Like a mask I had to explain before myself could enter the consciousness of others. This agreement changed my life and my outlook on Psoriasis and I overcame it completely. This small regression now, is a big deal to me, because of the new person I am. It is not a big flare, considering I went from 90% down to 0%… I would say now I’m at 1% or less. This warrior only will settle for 0% P and 110% me. That comes from asking others and learning from all the Warriors I have met and now practice along side of. We win this fight together.
Always Do My Best: … ALWAYS, at all times, no matter how much sleep I didn’t get, or how itchy I am, or how alone I want to be for the moment. I will do my best, EVEN at my worst. This is what I have to offer, it allows me to be ultimately in alignment and with self-care as my main objective, I am above circumstances and drama. I don’t judge anyone else, and most importantly, I don’t judge myself and the choices I make, even the stupid ones. I have made some ignorant mistakes, as I slipped down a bit from my level. It is inherent, that as your body becomes weaker, your mentality can suffer. I then punish myself for doing so. I realize this is foolish, and when I don’t spend focus or energy on that, just naturally being the best I can be for everyone in any certain situation…heck, life is just plain Easier.

Well, I hope my reaffirmation, that I decided to put down on paper, helped others who may be on their path, and going through the worst of times, yet being their best and being courageous enough to live in action and in the truth. I know this natural path is hard. Just take it easy on yourself, and I promise you I will do the same for myself and that’s the least we can do for each other, ;). Life is hard, other can do the worst most wicked things, I will always be benevolent and will always lend a hand to those who need me. This makes me the best I can be.

Rise Up To Heal Psoriasis

The Warrior’s Work For Healing Psoriasis

So close… Ever so close.

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:

Choice
Challenge
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!

My Psoriasis Diet – ABCs & 123s Of Healing Naturally

I want to keep my post on a diet for healing Psoriasis as simple as possible. I created & adhered to a few principles to allow myself to transition properly and stick to it:

I swore I would not be too hard on myself
I would focus on what to ADD, more than what to SUBTRACT
I would take the transition slowly & embrace the long journey
I would strive to minimize acidic foods and drinks I love, but NOT try to CUT OUT anything completely and have a treat day or two per week.
I would strive to maximize healing foods and alkaline water I needed
Most importantly, I would not measure progress by any one given day, good OR bad

I want you to write down this list above, where you will look at it every morning as you build up the proper practice around a Psoriasis diet that will heal you.

Commit it to memory, and start the morning out with a good stretch, and some breathing exercises. I’ll make another post that outlines the qi-gong, yoga and stability ball exercises I do soon.

Watch My Psoriasis Diet Skills Video Series

You must first find and be at peace with your healing, before any dietary approaches will really sustain and work.

This is the mind’s release to the body’s needs.

The mind must begin letting go of the desires attached to food and lifestyle a little bit, while embracing the new way of letting your body dictate nutrients, taste, flavors and fulfillment.

It is very important to release the tensions, anxieties and negative energies that all lead to stress as you are fundamentally adjusting your diet. It will get easier as your focus and awareness build up.

Stress reduction is a large part of healing naturally. You watch, when you find more peace in your life and your diet, you will notice marked improvements in your Psoriasis spots and joint pains.

I want you to understand that you may face any and all symptoms of your body as it digs deeper while you continue your commitment to the proper fuels it needs.

Your body needs to build up confidence in you, that overall, you will maximize the healing fuel, while minimizing the acids.

Ok, Here are my ABCs and 123s to focus on to keep your diet for Psoriasis manageable and practical.

Do your best to strive to these as an outline for each day.

Some days you will be better, some days you will cheat, BUT I want you to have these to fall back on and use as your foundation.

Do NOT do anything cold turkey – meaning, don’t quit any of your favorite foods for good. That approach will only hinder your progress via self-guilt when you have cheats (bound to happen occasionally).

A – Alkaline vs Acid Balance: The health of your bloodstream. That is your #1 goal, raising it from the depths of acidity into a healing environment that promotes regeneration of your immune system and the self-healing process. Strive each day to keep flooding your body with Alkaline Water. Try to have a green juice every other day to start, then work up to one a day.

B – Buffering The Belly: This is a little tactic that helps your body so much. The most important times to buffer are: first thing when you wake up in the morning (your most acidic), 30-45 minutes before an acidic-based meal, and right before bed. The easiest way to buffer is to flush in ONE liter of Alkaline Water first thing in the morning, 20-30 minutes before a meal and just before bed.

Won’t that make me stay up all night going to the bathroom?

YES, and you need to, especially while healing, because your body does it’s finest work while you sleep. When you are pumping in enough fuel to promote overtime, you will need to acid flush multiple times throughout the night. The basic rule is to go to the bathroom RIGHT when your body first signals, no matter when, to get rid of toxins. DON’T HOLD IT!

C – Chemical Combinations: There are certain combinations of foods and liquids that really screw up the chemistry of your guts. I notice bad combos being the main trigger for me. I don’t really have triggers any more, but combos will still twist my guts. Some common bad combos are milk in coffee, milk in cereal, well, milk in anything really. Drinking while eating creates liquid acid reactions. It’s better to not drink liquids during meals whenever possible.

Gluten, Dairy & Alcohol cause hell-fire reactions in the guts, simply because they end up being white, refined and fermented sugars that Candida and other potentially bad fungus thrive on.

You want a constant stream of water, juice, oils and the proper salts flowing through you. I will break down my 123s using the COWS approach.

1. Alkaline Water: I get asked a lot what I mean when I say Alkaline Water, I simply mean water with nutrients in it like lemon, chlorophyll, greens, and trace minerals. I make my Alkaline water using the following:

I start every day with 20-32 fl oz of lemon water.
I fill up my water bottle with Liquid Chlorophyll and Liquid Zinc Sulfate to sip on all day.

I strive for 3 liters of alkaline water every 24 hours. I keep it by my bedside and drink whenever I wake up. If you can’t get lemons/limes, putting the liquid chlorophyll in each liter is fine and GREAT for you! I also add a dropper of zinc along with that for trace minerals.

I also keep a bottle of green grass powders in the fridge. I have a cup of water with a 2 scoops mixed in the morning. These grasses are a powerful prebiotic (food source) for you gut bacteria. This strengthens your gut wall and heals Leaky Gut Syndrome.

Also, try unsweetened raw coconut water. The electrolytes fire up the body and heal the Liver. This is the best drink for before an after workouts, exercising to replenish electrolytes. Don’t drink Gatorade or other sports drinks they have NOTHING on coconut water. Coconut water counts towards your daily Alkaline Water intake goal.

Just doing this step will change the environment of your body quickly. It is essential to flush the systems constantly. Your relationship with water needs to be BFF style – Best Friends Forever.

Water keeps the vehicle moving.

2. Green Juicing: There is no better way to introduce essential vitamins and nutrients than fresh green juice. Drinking the juice takes all digestive pressure off the body, so it can focus only on assimilation of the fuel it needs and apply it directly to where it needs to go! Green juicing is how you detoxify and heal the blood. Once you are healing the blood, you are healing all the internal vital organs and systems.

Something as simple as one juice a day, can increase your vitality and energy levels. Once you start carving out all the ancient sediment and waste in your intestinal tract, liver, and colon, your body will become vibrant and renew itself automatically! Without any pills, imagine that.

My basic Psoriasis Juice recipe consists of celery, cucumber, broccoli, spinach and/or kale, cilantro, ginger, green apple, kiwi and carrot. I used this recipe for almost two years now with great success! You can make a bunch of the greens and store in fridge for a few days of juice. Do NOT mix in the apple, kiwi, broccoli and carrot if you store the juice, as this will make it acidic. You can add it in separately, OR, just make it all fresh each day.

Then I’ll put in a green apple, 1 kiwi, thumb of ginger, handful of broccoli (including the magical stalk) and a handful of baby carrots per serving, to sweeten it to taste, Yummy! You can get as creative as you want with your juice, the baseline principle is to get as many greens in as possible

3. Daily Stretching, Breathing, Yoga and Qigong

You want to strive to lower your caloric intake. This takes pressure off the digestive system and allows the immune system to regenerate. There are more studies showing that doing a fast occasionally can really help regenerate immune cells and immune activity.

When you do eat, strive to minimize gluten, dairy, red meat, white sugar and junk foods. Notice, I use the word “minimize” and not “cut out”. This is because I want this to be self-empowering for you, not self-limiting. Focus on what you are ADDING, more than SUBTRACTING. This is how I succeeded the third time around. So if you have a beer, or a cookie, or a piece of pizza, you will not punish yourself with guilt. Just enjoy it, then get back to work on your alkaline water and foods.

Maximize, raw vegetables/fruits, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil for cooking and try to keep you temperatures lower and cook al dente. Basically once any living food is at 200 degrees F or higher for more than a few minutes, it’s electro-activity dies. That’s a huge reason why raw foods are so beneficial. Their electrons are still vibrant and bouncing which causes a reaction in the cells.
