Healing Psoriasis Journal Entry #4: My First Cheat

Hello Warriors! Ok, It’s confession hour. Time to repent for my sins. This weekend, I ran into my first speed bump, and I hit it at about 45 mph! In other words, I dipped into some skittles, cookies’n’cream ice cream (best stuff ever made in a factory), and some hot sauce. Then I had some red wine on Sunday.

Ahhh, I already feel the weight of the world off my shoulders. Being honest makes you feel light as a feather, why? Because when you live the word, and exist in truth, happiness is all there is.

So, update on my skin, how I’m feeling and how much I’m itching, lets call it the Itchometer. All is pretty well. I’ve noticed a bit of a slow down in skin regeneration . No new spots to report, a few small ones. What I’m noticing, is that these small spots are more of a rash, and appear around the other most recent spots that popped up. What I am hoping for, is that this is the first evidence of the initial die-off.

For those not familiar with the die-off, that is the period where the Candida and other unwelcomed pathogens begin to starve and die, since I am not feeding them the sugar they require any more to thrive. When they do start to die, they give off extra toxins and waste materials, that get dispersed into the blood in that general area. This causes more break out, I like to think of this quote “The dawn is always darkest, just before the day”. So, do not get discouraged, when you are 3-4 weeks into the diet transition and you notice new spots popping up. Remember, it is also stressful emotionally and psychologically as you begin to give up on the foods and sweets you have loved for so long, and Emotions are the Biggest Psoriasis Trigger.

Every day, I drink the following Psoriasis remedies:

Slippery Elm Tea
Green Superfood
4 liters of room-temp water, with PHion alkalzing drops and a whole lime
a green juice (usually consisting of celery, cucumber, parsley, spinach, a little carrot, ginger and broccoli)
American saffron tea
Milk thistle in water

Supplements I’m trying to remember everday:

Omega / Flax 3,6,9 multi
All Cell Detox (nature’s sunshine)
B-Complex
Zinc (good for males)
L-Gluathione
MSM (3x)
N-Acetyl L-Cysteine
Slippery Elm Capsules

Other things I’m doing is my exercising daily with Yoga in the morning, followed by core exercises using my stability ball. The only 2 things you need to get into killer shape.

An important part of my therapy is getting natural sunlight and swimming in the ocean (saline) water atleast 2-3x per week. ESSENTIAL: I cannot stay in the sun too long and must use 30 SPF (don’t ever use more than 30SPF, it’s a hoax) to make sure that the ultraviolet-A I’m bringing in as at a slow moderate pace. When you tan correctly, it goes a LONG way in minimizing the skin flaking symptoms and lightens your spot tone to pink as your skin darkens. DO NOT BURN OR YOU WILL FLARE.

So, I don’t want to rush to any conclusions based on my observations, but as you all know out there whom have Psoriasis, when we see even the slightest lessening in Psoriasis symptoms we get very excited. With that being said, I have noticed a small amount of lightening and more skin tone on my chest lesions. My chest and frontal abdomen is 100% covered, after my latest flare in January 2012. So, to see this being less red, and lightening up is giving the warrior more strength in his conviction. Remember, this is my story, yours will have similar plotlines and twists, but the actor and director will be completely different. You are the Producer of Your Own Health.

Remember to stay practical, and give yourself a break and room for error. You are on the most difficult part of the most epic journey of your life. The one where you realize you can heal yourself of all that ails you.

I will say this though, the common bond that binds us with Psoriasis and are on a path of healing, is that our faith will be built through practice, hence we will never have to hope for miracles, we will make them.

Healing Psoriasis Journal Entry #3

Hello Tribe!

Wow, it’s been a while since my last post. Although, at this moment, I have no readers, I still made a promise to Myself and my eventual community of healing Warriors, that I would write in this journal every day. It’s part of my Psoriasis Therapy!

So, This morning, October 17th 2012, my skin is feeling very good. I got some yoga in this morning, a few core exercises, a dip in the pool and my patented Psoriasis Shower. After the shower, my skin was very soft, no itching at all (usually after pool time, I get itching sensation from the chlorine), and my spots are cool.

Let me get up to speed here on the progress of my diet transition and lifestyle routine paradigm shifts. Honestly, eating is quite boring at the moment, but that is to be expected. When a carnivore goes pescatarian, the menu is going to be quite shaky at the start. That is why transition itself, is so key. I do already notice some changes, specifically on my scalp Psoriasis, which is where P began for me.

Typically my morning routine is;

a full liter bottle of water with 1 whole lime and my PHion water ionizing drops (10 drops each) . That is my Psoriasis remedy Water.
1 light tablespoon of Slippery Elm Bark Tea in 2 cups of water, stir well, let steep for 20-25 minutes, stir again, and drink down
2 cups black coffee, with Stevia used as a sweetener. (I am transitioning to tea only and using Stevia as as sweetener eventually, but coffee is my #1 vice)
another liter of water with 1 quarter lime slice and PHion drops
1 avocado, usually mush up some guacamole, dip cucumbers and celery, or I will slice it onto a green leafy salad with cucumbers, olive oil, apple cidar vinegar and herbamare

After that late morning avocado salad, I’ll typically snack throughout the afternoon on celery, cucumbers, carrots, hummus, an olive oil dip with herbamare. The key to the afternoon is to continually add fluids, primarily room teparature P water (lime and drops) along with teas. The #1 tea I drink is American Safron . Steep for about 15 minutes. You can also mix it into your water bottle and sip on some safron water which is refreshing. The goal for me is to drink at least 4 liter bottles of P water per day.

When the dinner bell rings, I have been using Fish as the primary animal protein. But, I have had completely vegetarian dinners about half the time as well. Saute up some zucchini, broccoli and onion, boil up some gluten-free noodles, and just a tiny bit of tomato sauce (I know this needs to be transitioned out) for taste.

This is the habitual practice I have been going through for 2 weeks now. Like I said, the coffee will need to be kicked ultimately for the full healing experience. I have had two cheater days so far. Those days consisted of a total of 4 bloody marry’s basically and some marshmallows (why?).

I need to start making soups.

So far so good, I don’t see any spots disappearing yet, but I do notice a much slower time frame of skin regeneration, which is the first sign to regression of symptoms! I’ll be working on my Psoriasis principles and my natural Psoriasis products much more soon too, to make the blog a guide for Healing, as I continue my journey.

Healing Psoriasis Journal Entry #2

Ok! So I’ve been in Tulum for just about a week now, and i would say my diet transition is moving along nicely. I just finished eating a romaine and kale salad, remembered my Omega/Flax this time, so that means this is the first day where I’ve remembered to take that 3x! It’s the small victories that keep us Warriors moving smoothly and with steadfast vision of pure health and clear skin.

So, my main focus so far has been the following

Daily Psoriasis Diet Freak checklist:

Minimize coffee to 2 cups
Using Agave (cactus) sweetener instead of sugar
No Dairy (except for some cheating involving cheese, that’s off the record)
No sugar of ANY kind…. big :((
Only fish for meat (might have had some tacos al pastor, the are so good in Tulum…)
Add teas to my diet, particularly Slippery Elm Bark in the morning (gross) and American Safflower (tasty with a lime or touch of Agave)
Eat less late at night
breeth deeply throughout the day, a bit of yoga in the morning
sun and swim (I’m lucky here since I’ve jumped back to the Caribbean… Hey, I’m poor, I’m trying to run my own businesses that may someday make me some good money (i believe Firmly), and in the mean time I live pretty cheap in paradise…
peace and harmony

You will see #10 a lot as I transition my mind to moving slower, more concisely, and find time to appreciate my accomplishments to that moment. I am a peaceful warrior.

So that is what I have so far to cure this rampant widespread manifestation of my immune system, which needs my help. I am finally Listening. I am going to heal my Psoriasis naturally. I know it will take time, I am committed. I will heal myself and hence my skin.

Healing Psoriasis Journal Entry #1: Where it All Begins

I’m going to start keeping a close eye to the reaction of my Psoriasis to what I eat. As I transition and routine myelf towards mostly Alkaline foods with 80% veggies of some sorts. I will chart reactions, in the sense of increased symptoms, after everything I eat. I’ll scale it from 1-10. I arrived to Mexico 2 nights ago, already i am seeing a lot of what I need at the newer grocery store. This is pivotal to my T&R, since the physical dimension, my diet, is the most essential dimension.

So far, I’d say I’m 50/50 alkaline/acid. Not a bad start. I’ve had 2 cups of black coffee with the agave (natural cactus) sweetener, which is pretty tasty. Consistently prepared and drank the American Saffron tea to begin cleansing the kidneys. Along with the Slippery Elm tea in the morning to replenish and heal the permeable inner wall of my intestinal tract.

I’ve had some good salads, with olive oil and just a bit of Italian dressing. Guacamole today, which will be a mainstay of my eating, as I progress towards downing 4 avocados per day.

So, not a bad shot outta the gates, and a good time to start chronicling all my food, times of day that I eat, and any reactions I have. This will be the way I dominate the physical state of this disorder and heal my digestive system inside out. I have a pathogen, in my blood, it is systemic now, and I must purify the source of the toxins, my Guts.

Well I just ate some nachos and salsa, obviously still at the beginning of my transition. The toughest part will be not eating late. I was brought up that way.
