I should have been very happy the day I realized my psoriasis was finally gone.
I should have been. After all, I’d had it for 14 years.
14 years of dry, flaky skin.
14 years of itching, irritation and occasional bleeding.
Of arranging my life around the embarrassment and the self-consciousness of knowing that people were staring at me…
14 long years.
And now my skin was clear. Unblemished.
Hasn’t itched for 3 years.
Yet here I was… angry.
Angry that my psoriasis was gone? That all that misery was over?
Yes
Well, okay – let me clarify.
I was delighted it was gone. Of course.
But I was angry at the discovery that the solution for psoriasis was both simple to do –and already known to the wider scientific establishment.
So while I was testing every product known to medical science – and coming up with zero – other people were getting psoriasis… treating that psoriasis… and then kissing it goodbye.
And they were doing this in just weeks
I’d been through so many treatments, suffered so many false hopes… endured so much discomfort and unhappiness over the years.
All because I’d believed that if I tried as many remedies as possible I’d eventually stumble on one that actually worked.
Which turned out not to be true.
In the end I gave up – as so many people with my condition end up doing.
And like so many people – including you, perhaps – I’d tried most of them.
In fact, I went through a series of escalating treatments.
They started fairly mild – specialist moisturising creams – and progressed to the more severe – steroids, immunity suppressors.
They end, finally, with what I regarded as the downright dangerous – phototherapy, PUVA and, especially, systemic treatments.
All the ones I tried worked for a while. I’d notice a reduction in itching… or the flare-ups would be a little less severe.
But over time my psoriasis came back as strong as ever and just overwhelmed the treatment I was taking. In the end, I was back to square one.
And they came with side-effects too. Some quite alarming side-effects, in fact.
I was warned to expect them but how do you prepare for…
…thinning of the skin that led to occasional splitting and bleeding?
…burning sensations over most of the body?
…dry skin, dry lips and nostrils, rashes?
…headaches and itchiness?
I realized one day that the side-effects of the treatments for psoriasis… were just like psoriasis itself!
But there was worse: for the more aggressive treatments the risks included possible eye cataracts, liver disease, kidney disease and high blood pressure.
Is the risk of liver disease or kidney failure worth it for the possible – but not guaranteed – reduction of psoriasis?
I decided it wasn’t. I hated my psoriasis but I didn’t want to risk even worse health outcomes to try to reduce it.
I decided I’d just have to put up with my condition. I felt it was the right decision but it left me feeling hopeless and very low.
Despite a loving family and supportive friends I felt isolated and alone with my condition. Only someone else with psoriasis could really understand this.
My GP was wonderfully supportive. But she was out of options. She suggested that I speak to other sufferers. It would be good for me to just realize I wasn’t the only one with this.
I joined some online forums and, actually, they did make me feel less alone. Many sufferers had had their psoriasis for years – 20 years or more in some cases.
But then one day… I stumbled on something incredible.
In fact, it’s the reason why I’m writing this today as an ex-sufferer of psoriasis.
In one of the old forums I used to visit there was a discussion about psoriasis triggers.
Psoriasis triggers are simply things that happen to the body that make psoriasis actually happen.
Triggers are actually the cause of psoriasis. They are the reason we have psoriasis in the first place.
Without the triggers psoriasis can’t exist.
This is what left me stunned. It turns out we’ve known about psoriasis triggers for years now.
Even more startling is that we actually know how to turn them off.
So that psoriasis symptoms don’t just reduce… they completely fail to happen in the first place.
I got talking to a couple of the people who no longer have psoriasis. Rather than dealing with the skin condition itself they had simply handled the causes of their condition – the triggers. That’s how they became ex-sufferers.
What they had in common was a psoriasis program created by a natural health practitioner called Julissa Clay.
Turns out that Julissa specializes in resolving genetic or inflammation-based diseases by using natural fixes.
Her philosophy is simple but wildly successful: disease doesn’t just happen, it has a cause. The cause is always natural – and therefore the remedy is natural too.
I’m a little bit doubtful about alternative health remedies. I guess I’m just one of those people who feel that if my family doctor can’t find a remedy… there obviously isn’t a remedy.
But I was out of options… and, to be honest, I was out of hope. I simply felt I had nothing to lose.
Julissa’s program is called The Psoriasis Solution. I got myself a copy…
And, a long story short, it worked.
I read Julissa’s solution in one afternoon. I acted on it that day. And since completing her instructions I’ve not had even a hint of psoriasis for 3 years.
The first thing I learned from Julissa was basic but vital to our understanding of the illness:
Psoriasis isn’t a skin condition.
It looks like a skin condition and it sure as heck feels like one.
But medical science knows full well that it’s an inflammation problem. And the inflammation problem is directly connected to our immune systems going wrong.
Our immune system malfunctions and our fighter cells – the T-cells that usually fight off disease and infection – attack healthy skin by mistake.
That T-cell activity leads to ongoing, chronic inflammation throughout the body. That inflammation leads to the flaky, red, itchy skin condition that psoriasis sufferers are so used to.
To replace damaged skin cells our bodies produce new cells – at an increasingly faster rate. Which the immune system then attacks again via even more T-cells.
In healthy people, new skin cells are produced at the rate of 3 to 4 weeks.
If you have psoriasis you produce new skin cells in 3 to 7 days.
There’s a kind of frenzied loop going on here where one activity – T-cells attacking healthy skin cells – leads to more skin cells being produced which in turn leads to more T-cell activity.
And the inflammation caused by a runaway immune system and the never-ending T-cell attacks gives us psoriasis.
For some people, psoriasis is a family trait. Various relatives had it.
For other people they are the only one in their family who has suffered.
In truth, family history predicts nothing.
There are twins where one has psoriasis for years – while the other one never gets it. Identical genes – yet only one gets psoriasis. How come?
In truth, you don’t need ‘psoriasis genes’ to get psoriasis. But you do need triggers.
And this is the vital scientific insight. Triggers cause psoriasis. Scientists have identified the main triggers for psoriasis.
Triggers are the key to tackling the disease. Because no triggers means no psoriasis – regardless of whether psoriasis runs in your family or not.
As Julissa explains, medical science understands the triggers for psoriasis very well. This isn’t theory – it’s measurable fact.
She goes into a little more detail in her Psoriasis Strategy. But here’s what I – as a person who wanted to see the back of their psoriasis – needed to know:
My condition was caused by natural conditions – triggers. It would be effectively treated simply by reversing the conditions that caused it.
The two main causes for psoriasis are
There are some others – and I dealt with them as well. But medical science regards these two as by far our biggest problems.
The key understanding here is this: the changes I made were so small they were easy.
But it’s the combined effect of small changes – the right changes – that adds up to a powerful, unstoppable treatment for what was triggering my psoriasis.
It’s obvious to me – and several thousands like me – that the subtle changes we made were what saw off our psoriasis.
Here is a brief description of why you have psoriasis at the moment – and what I did to get rid of mine.
Food is health. We sometimes forget that we’re made of what we eat.
Everything we eat or drink has an effect on us. And many of those effects are highly beneficial.
But there are some foods whose effects are plain bad for psoriasis sufferers. They are psoriasis triggers.
Our experience of psoriasis is directly connected to the way some foods trigger an immune response – and, therefore, inflammation – in our bodies.
We need to know which foods trigger psoriasis. Because once we do… we can turn this condition around in days.
Be clear: this isn’t a diet. I am able to eat all my favorites – chocolate and peanut desserts, sweet and savory dips and pancakes, flap-jacks, ice cream… and still eradicate the major psoriasis triggers.
To get well I had to know the few ingredients that I needed to be wary of. The few ingredients that have been identified as having a direct effect on psoriasis.
And, as I found out: once you know what’s hurting you you can do something about it.
Which Is what I did. And 3 years later, psoriasis really is just a distant memory.
Scientists have known for many years that household and personal cleaners bring toxins directly into our lungs and bloodstream. These toxins are highly inflammatory – a disaster if you have psoriasis.
Offenders include polishing products, window cleaners, dishwasher tablets, clothes washing detergents, conditioners, descalers, car-cleaning agents, anti-bacterials and carpet cleaners – to name a few.
None of this is new findings. Scientists have successfully campaigned against the most deadly offenders – and they’ve been removed.
But there’s still many dangerous ingredients left in our everyday products.
Just look at the user instructions for standard cleaning items:
But you and I know that even if used as directed these chemicals don’t just harmlessly disappear.
They leave toxic traces over everything they were used on… traces that we touch and that drift into the air we breathe. These toxins get inside us. Researchers can detect these poisons in our blood stream.
The cumulative effect of these toxins is ruining people’s health. Toxins from household products trigger the immune system to fight these invaders… which leads directly to inflammation.
Which is the last thing a psoriasis sufferer needs!
This same story also applies to some degree to our personal cleaners.
Soaps, shampoos, perfumes, after-shaves…
Thing is, we don’t have to stop cleaning our homes, our vehicles – or ourselves.
We do have to know which products are directly causing psoriasis. The knowledge is crucial – because once we know… we can remove permanently the toxic agents that directly lead to psoriasis.
Again, the changes I made were small – and I made them gradually over time. But the effects add up to something powerful – the main things being clear, unblemished skin!
Food and toxins are really huge when you’ve got psoriasis. Some small but significant errors in these two areas are often enough to be the entire cause of psoriasis.
Fixing those errors is straightforward – and when I fixed the errors I also fixed psoriasis.
There are some additional triggers that provoke the inflammation problem that gives us psoriasis. They matter. So Julissa shows us how to handle them as well.
Sleep is the big one here. Now, I always thought I slept just fine. But I followed Julissa’s simple sleep routine anyway – and by day 3 I was waking up feeling like a new person.
I realized that I hadn’t been sleeping half as well as I thought. Poor sleep leaves the body agitated and inflamed – which directly contributed to my psoriasis.
Deep, refreshing sleep allowed my body to settle and be calm – and for that inflammation to gradually disappear.
Stress. Stress is normal. The problem is, the body is designed for stress that is short-lived.
Our ancestors would experience very high stress while running from a predator or fighting enemies.
Lots of stress… but then it’s gone. And then they’d be stress-free for months.
Whereas modern people have lower stress – but we have it all the time.
We live by the clock, by the demands of work, colleagues, family, friends… Deadlines, responsibilities, To Do lists, money worries, relationship concerns, other people’ expectations…
The stress isn’t terribly high – but it never goes away. And that’s the problem.
The result of low-level, never-ending stress is cortisol dysfunction and the result of that is… inflammation. Lots of it.
Julissa showed me simple methods that eased this low-level stress out of my body. The result? No more cortisol dysfunction – and a dramatic lowering of inflammation.
And, of course, the clear, comfortable skin that comes from no longer having psoriasis!
Movement. I’m not big on exercise but I’m like 80% of Americans: I sit too much and move too little.
There are now dozens of studies that confirm that prolonged sitting measurably increases low-grade inflammation.
That low-grade inflammation is – as we know – triggering our psoriasis.
Luckily, the antidote isn’t to go for a run or visit the gym. It’s to perform some easy movements that Julissa discovered were especially effective for people with psoriasis.
I found myself enjoying such simple exercise – it had a really good effect on my energy levels and moods. Better still, though, as my skin gradually cleared I knew I was 100% on my way to beating my psoriasis.
This looks like a lot – but it actually isn’t.
Julissa has turned this essential knowledge into a simple 4-week program for clearing up psoriasis.
The program is broken down into small bite-sized chunks.
We eliminate those psoriasis triggers one easy step at a time. As the steps mount up the triggers fall away.
There’s no drugs, medications, procedures… no doctors, specialists or hospital visits.
Just a set of gentle habits that soothed my immune system. Calmed my inflammation.
And which replaced 14 years of inflamed, unsightly dried-out scales with smooth, evenly-colored skin.
Although my condition improved quickly the program does take about 4 weeks to finally tackle psoriasis.
It can’t happen faster than that because that’s how long it takes to grow new, healthy skin.
In the meantime, you may still get flare-ups and uncomfortable itching. You will want some relief from that.
Which Julissa provides. Her recipes for natural skin remedies use ingredients you may already have in your kitchen. And they are very effective.
They don’t remove psoriasis itself but they soothe and comfort the skin while the main program starts to take effect.
And they do it really quickly. For me, they actually made my condition feel like it had already gone – even though it hadn’t yet.
But my last 4 weeks with psoriasis were very comfortable. I remember thinking that getting Julissa’s program was worth it just for these skin treatments!
First, understand this wasn’t an instant fix. Instead, it’s a quick one. And it’s a lasting one.
Second, I noticed improvements to my skin after a few days but the program takes about 4 weeks to complete.
New skin grew – but this time, at its normal rate.
My immune system settled, inflammation calmed – and stopped attacking my skin cells.
The dry, itchy patches were replaced over the following weeks with healthy, normal-looking skin.
No more flaking or redness. And no more itching.
As the 4 weeks progressed so did the improvements to my condition.
Until, one day, I didn’t have a condition anymore.
~9 week difference. Not perfect, and still with a lot of marks to fade, but if you know what it's like living with the scales, it was already perfect to me!
I’ve had no psoriasis symptoms for nearly 3 years now. Every time I look into a mirror I smile. I still haven’t quite got used to it!
I wish I’d discovered this years before. It would have saved me a lot of unhappiness.
That soreness… itchiness… self-consciousness…
The misery of looking different and feeling different.
All those ointments. The steroids. The phototherapy.
It wasn’t necessary. None of it was necessary.
Julissa’s program didn’t exist when I first got the condition. But if it had existed I’d have been over psoriasis within weeks.
Anyway, I am so very grateful for how things have turned out.
If you follow her advice I believe you will be too.
So that is my psoriasis story.
14 years of an apparently untreatable skin condition gone in 28 days.
And all because I tackled the root cause of my psoriasis – the things that triggered it in the first place. Without the triggers there can be no psoriasis.
Imagine yourself 28 days from now. What does non-itchy, non-flushed skin feel like?
What does naturally moisturized, blemish-free, evenly-colored skin look like?
You can find out.
The science supporting Julissa’s strategy is verified by research scientists across North America and Europe.
Triggers in our lives create the immune system dysfunction that gives rise to chronic, never-ending inflammation.
And then to psoriasis.
What happens if you remove those triggers?
You’ve removed the conditions in which psoriasis thrives.
You’ve taken away its ability to exist.
No triggers means no psoriasis.
Watch your skin change almost before your eyes and then wave goodbye to psoriasis. Just like the rest of us did.
You’re unlikely to grow out of your psoriasis any time soon. If ever.
It’ll go if you act, it’ll stay if you don’t.
I suffered for 14 years. I’d still be suffering now if I hadn’t stumbled on Julissa’s Psoriasis Strategy. And acted on it.
It’s not known if long-term psoriasis eventually becomes impossible to shift.
Whatever the future holds you can choose for it to be riddled with the misery of an embarrassing, life-denying and deeply uncomfortable condition…
Or you can choose for it to be clear-skinned. Comfortable. Psoriasis-free.
The Psoriasis strategy worked for me and it worked for thousands of others – with all the different variations of the affliction.
Results are guaranteed. Can you lose? Of course. You can lose psoriasis.
You’re here because you’ve had enough of this condition.
So get rid of it. And step into the life you thought you could never have.
