My journey to healing psoriasis
For most of my life, I have been free from psoriasis, while my sister has suffered from it since childhood and my dad since about the time I was born. While my sister has tried numerous mo cure her psoriasis, she still suffers as does my dad. In the past, I tried the steroid creams and shampoos, but I never actually felt like they were curing my psoriasis because it would always come back and most often times be worse.
Then recently a friend from church gave me a book called healing psoriasis: the natural alternative by Dr. John A. Pagano. A bit skeptical about the book, I decided to try part of the suggested protocol. Within a few weeks I noticed some of the spots on my torso and legs were fading, and the skin beneath them was healing. There was no scarring either. In the past anytime the psoriasis spots would fade there was almost always scarring left behind.
This time was different though. After three weeks, I couldn't even tell where the spots had been. I still had quite a few patches left, especially on my scalp, but I felt like now I had control over the healing of my body from this disease.
For a month i followed the protocol outlined in the book all the while seeing a noticeable improvement. Then, I stopped. It had been really hard following the diet and cutting out two of my favorite foods - potatoes and tomatoes, and we were going on vacation. And I missed French fries.
It has now been two months since I strayed from the plan, and I am ready to begin again. My scalp is completely covered in psoriasis, and it is quite difficult to deal with. I also have several patches on my torso as well as a few on my leg. I am committting myself to follow this book until I am free from psoriasis completely. I am writing this blog as a form of accountability and to share my success with other psoriasis sufferers, as I have no doubt I will be healed completely by following this book and the plan it outlines.
If you are reading this and suffer from psoriasis, I encourage you to take control of your body and heal yourself. Follow along with me on this journey and see what you can accomplish in ridding yourself of psoriasis forever.
Thanks for reading and may the Lord bless your day.
