Shampoo For Psoriasis – How to Choose an Effective Shampoo

Monday, July 5th, 2010

 

Scalp psoriasis can lead to redness, inflammation, and hair loss. The usual treatment is to use shampoo for psoriasis. But does it work? In this article, you will find out what kind of shampoo to buy.

The most common ingredient in this shampoo is coal tar. It is effective against mild psoriasis. It has shown that it can decelerate the proliferation of skin cells and restore the skin’s appearance. Furthermore, it decreases the inflammation, itching and scaling of psoriasis. However, you should be aware of its dangers when you use.

Coal tar is a powerful substance. Usually, for safe use, its strength is limited to between 0.5% and 5% . Anything more than that may lead to cancer. It is also not friendly to your scalp because it can make your skin very sensitive to sunlight. If you are not careful, your clothes will be stained and have unpleasant smell.

There are other ingredients that are safer to use. Emu oil is one of the well known substance that aid in the healing and repairing of the skin. You don’t want to use harsh shampoo because it can aggravate psoriasis. So, you want to treat your scalp gently with organic substances like emu oil. As you know, psoriasis accelerates the production of new skin. Emu oil can prevent it by making your skin thicken and controlling the production of new skin.

Ingredients such as aloe vera and jojoba are great in treating your scalp as they help soften the skin and psoriasis plaques.

If your scalp reacts adversely to the sebum, then you need a shampoo that has exfoliating properties. Ingredients such as salicylic acid can remove bacteria & sebum from the root within the scalp. However, you don’t want to use it often because it can dry out your scalp which can worsen the psoriasis. So, always use a conditioner together with the shampoo to retain the moisture in the scalp.

The next you buy shampoo for psoriasis, choose one that contain natural ingredients and anti inflammatory compounds. It must also cleanse deeply into the scalp without aggravating the condition.

However, if you have a serious condition of psoriasis, you need to go beyond using shampoo. Psoriasis Breakthrough http://www.skinmorphy.com/psoriasis-breakthrough-review.php is what you need.

Liver Flushing is not the be all – end all – for Eczema and other skin diseases

I would like to address this blog post to the liver flushing support forum in Curezone.com: Liver Flushing is not the be all – end all – for curing skin diseases. I was alarmed at someone who was convinced he had stones after not ejecting any stones for several liver flushes. Look, if after doing several types of liver flushes and no stones come out, this means you have no liver stones and the problem lies elsewhere!

Just for completeness there are several ways to soften hard stones like apple juice and gold coin grass. I personally recommend a 2 day apple juice fast then flush. If you aren’t diabetic, you can do this.

Of course there are other detox protocols you can get into. Here’s my list. http://www.curemanual.com/detox-protocols-and-treatments/

If you have yeast problems, this can be immediately corrected by the very hard and very powerful vco detox. I helped one young man before who had eczema on his arms and legs. He did this 3 day vco detox and when he woke up on the 4th day he was totally cured, as if his eczema was just a bad dream.

For pollution avoidance, buy Hulda Clark’s book Cure for All Diseases. She has a very good pollution avoidance list.

Then there is diet which I think is 50% of the battle. Do not assume your current diet is the best. If you are sick right now, it actually may be your diet that is causing you to be sick. Do mono meals / sequential meals. Do not mix foods. I think salads are absolutely wrong. If you want raw vegetables, you must juice them to digest them. Humans are not sheep nor cows, we do not have 4 stomachs to digest vegetation. Fruits are human food, see organic and in season. Animal flesh / innards / land animals / sea food is human food, and just like fruit it must be eaten raw. It’s pretty silly to cook fruit, and you should realize it is just as silly to cook meat.

Check out my diet recommendations at: http://www.curemanual.com/diet-strategies/

If you ejected liver stones and it has given you relief, yes, go celebrate… welcome to our healthy world… but this is just the beginning of your healing journey. There is a lot lot lot more you need to do to reach health states you never dreamed you could reach.

Treating Infant Eczema – Blast from the Past Circa 1905 for Nursing Infants with Eczema

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 5:21 pmPosted in News and Updates1 Comment

Here is a blast from past with the logic still current and effective. This section is from the book “Practical Dietetics With Special Reference To Diet In Disease”, by William Gilman Thompson, 1905.

Diet In Eczema In Nursing Infants

Bulkley points out that eczema in nursing infants is mainly due to dietetic errors of the mother, for whom, rather than for the child, treatment should be instituted. He prohibits the drinking of all forms of malt liquors and wines and rich chocolate. Anything which provokes indigestion and biliousness in the mother reacts unfavourably upon the skin disease of the infant. This is a very important truth too often overlooked. If the mother becomes constipated, has dyspepsia and a furred tongue, and excessive deposit of urates and oxalates in the urine, her diet must be changed, the bowels must be regulated, and tonics should be given. Other cases in infants are caused by the mother’s milk being poor and thin, and the breast milk should be supplemented by cow’s milk properly prepared, or it may become necessary to wean the baby completely. Mothers often nurse their infants too long, hoping thereby to postpone conception. When the breast milk is too poor in quality Bulk-ley believes in adding fat to the baby’s nourishment in the form of a few drops of cod-liver oil or a little cream, and he recommends inunctions of almond, sweet, linseed, or cod-liver oil.

Cod-liver oil is cited by some authorities as causing eczema, but this refers to its use in excess when the digestion is deranged and dyspepsia is aggravated by it. Eczema is often cured by adding fat to the food.

The common mistake of nursing infants too often is particularly apt to occur with eczematous babies, whose mothers mistake the child’s crying for a manifestation of hunger, whereas it is often excited by the extreme itching of the eruption, which the infant is too young or too feeble to scratch. If fed oftener than once in two hours or more, the infant’s digestion becomes deranged, and any existing eruption is made more unbearable. Bottle-fed infants are more likely to have eczema than sucklings, probably because they oftener have gastro-intestinal disorders. Underfed infants are less subject to the disease than are the overfed.

From a section in the book “Practical Dietetics With Special Reference To Diet In Disease”, by William Gilman Thompson. http://chestofbooks.com/health/nutrition/Dietetics-4/Diet-In-Eczema-In-Nursing-Infants.html

Translation in today’s language: Mother’s diet has everything to do with infant eczema. The quality of her milk is affected by her internal cleanliness and ability to digest foods. Fat is very very important to the diet. Low fat diets are absolutely WRONG.

This book is part of a collection of books when the colleges of medicine was still uncorrupted by the drug paradigm. When doctors actually cured people in 1905.

Woman Dies After Steroid Treatment for Eczema

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 12:33 amPosted in News and Updates1 Comment

Let us mourn and learn a painful lesson with the death of 32 year old Silvi Ward who died from multiple organ failure after being prescribed azathioprine and systemic steroids in a catastrophic failed attempt to treat her eczema.

Mrs Ward moved to Wigan from Indonesia in 2002 and married her husband Andrew Ward a year later.

She suffered from skin irritations since childhood but sought treatment after moving to Britain.

After a number of treatments failed to cure her eczema she was prescribed azathioprine in February 2009 however she stopped taking the drug in March 2009 when blood tests revealed her white blood cell levels had fallen.

Her hair had also begun to fall out.

On April 9 Mrs Ward was admitted to Wigan Infirmary with chest pains but allowed to return home after tests.

The next day she was taken back to hospital with severe chest pains a sore throat.

While in hospital she developed a rash across her body and began bleeding in her mouth, Mrs Ward’s condition then deteriorated rapidly.
She was taken to Intensive Care, where she died on March 14.

Consultant Pathologist James Harrison, who conducted a post mortem, said Mrs Ward had developed bone marrow depression which had caused the intensive rash and internal haemorrhage.

Bottom line, steroids are never safe. Steroids suppress the immune system, making people susceptible to even more harm that may cause further injury and in this case death.

Looking back in 2007 I myself was tasked with guarding my brother against the ignorant hospital doctor in Capitol Medical Center when he checked himself into the E.R. for being dizzy. It became a SHOUTING MATCH between me and that harmful lady doctor who wanted my brother to swallow her steroids. I shouted for DISCHARGE AGAINST DOCTORS ORDERS. And I did not care if we had to PAY the hospital bills in full while we chose to forgo medical insurance which required compliance to the doctor who wanted my brother to take steroids.

This article proves the resolve I had way back in 2007 that steroids were very very dangerous.

Steroids are the wrong way to go in treating eczema. First of all, it is no cure. Second, it is suppression of normal immune function. Eczema is the body’s cleansing mechanism at work. Suppress this cleansing mechanism and the body internally has to carry even more pollution… dirtier blood. That can never be right. Simple logic.

How many more people have to die from steroid treatments?

The cure for eczema is in this website www.eczemacure.info , natural, food based, lifestyle based changes is all you need.
