How I Cured Psoriasis

Bellow is a short quick list what I ate to cure my psoriasis.
everything on the list and that is not on the list has a reason, I'll be happy to answer questions in a mutual respectful manner.


For Omega 3 / fish oils
Wild Salmon, Sardines, Mackerel, Herring & Tuna. omega 3 capsules, Flax seed oil, virgin Coconut oil, Walnut oil, Sunflower oil, Sesame oil, organic cold pressed virgin Olive oil (virgin cold pressed-is important for any oils)
Farm fish have a high chemical level- avoid them.

Supplement Herbs: (tea or extracts)
Cat's Claw
Burdock root
Red Clover
Dandelion root
Fenugreek

High in Antioxidants
Azuki Beans (from “Hokaido”).
Blueberry (alot).
Red Kidney, Pinto Beans.
Cranberry.
Artichoke.
Blackberry,Raspberry,Strawberry,Cherries.
Prune.
Red,Granny Smith,Gala apples.(high in Pectin)
Pecan.

Miscellaneous
Wheat grass juice
Organic Tufo
Bosc Pears
Watermelon
Broccoli & Broccoli Sprouts
Beets(buy them with the leafs)
Spinach, Kale, romaine Lettuce(organic)
Basmati rice
Horseradish
Seaweed
Garlic
Whole grains
Soy beans based products,organic (not processed)
Oats
Celery,Carrots.
Nuts: raw, moderately.
Eggs: only Organic

Bread
I ate little or no bread, maybe once a week, the purpose is to avoid yeast.
otherwise be careful to eat bread that is wholesome and has no additives.
a good alternative for me was wholesome crackers, flax seed crackers and alike.

Fruits
Besides what I wrote above, Fruits are highly recommended to avoid because of sugars & acid.

Vegetables
most important to avoid are the night vegetables which include:
potato, tomato, peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, zucchini, squash and alike.
there's other veggies that are good like asparagus,green beans,okra,and alike.
also from the leaf family all the bitter greens are very good.

Important notes:
Water,water,water, - drink plenty of water.
Exercise ! you must be active and do some sort of exercise.
Medical Issues: if you suffer from other medical issues get expert help, my advice is for Psoriasis conditions only.
Overweight: this diet may not work its magic, it will take you more time to see results.
Bowl movement: know your body and follow its reaction. a healthy person should have a smooth and daily bowl movement.
Follow: follow your body reaction to any food and adjust accordingly.
Chew: chew your food well. don't over eat !
Stress: overall stress is not good, in particular for Psoriasis, I'm not an expert so try to get help.
Tea: tea is ok, make it moderate, no more then twice a day(use the above Supplement Herbs)
Organic: whenever possible get Organic
Results: I fully believe that anyone can benefit from this diet, you will need a "will" and "self determination" and depends on your condition, the longer you had psoriasis-the longer you will need to stick with a healthy diet.

Raw, steamed, cooked.
it is extremely important to eat raw as much as possible. however, it doesn't mean you should eat raw fish or beans. anything that is made to be cooked- you must cook. but, if it's nuts, green leafs or fruits and vegetables for example, it is very important to eat them raw. cooking kills the enzymes(and other vitamins) that help the body digest and absorb, if we eat something healthy and the body doesn't absorb it, we miss the target. whenever possible steam instead of cooking.
(beans can be soaked in water over nigh to reduce the cooking time)

Dairy, Chicken & Meat
I recommend not to eat any dairy, chicken or meat.

DON'T
EAT PIZZA
DRINK COFFEE
EAT FRIED FOODS
DRINK ORANGE JUICE
INTAKE ANY PROCESSED FOODS
DRINK SOFT DRINKS
INTAKE SUGARS
SMOKE
EAT ANY PASTRIES
CONSUME PESTICIDES OR CHEMICALS
