Hi Erica,

the parasite cleanse is part of the Total Body Cleanse = the intestinal cleanse, i.e. the first two weeks of the program. See the files on our groups site for all the details of the cleanses.

A menstruum is defined in this context as "a solvent". LOL

Erica,

Don't feel bad, I wondered about that too when I read it.

Lisa,

Can you define what a solvent is, I am still confused as to what you use to soak it in.

Thanks,

Carol

Thank Lisa.

I thought I was the only one that was out of touch on this.

I've never made tinctures myself, so am not totally sure, but I know some are made using alcohol, and some are made using Apple Cider Vinegar. The recipes should say which menstruum to use.

Oh my, I don't think giving up gluten is any more extreme than giving up

dairy, but to each his own!

Giving up gluten is what works for me. Giving up other foods was not

effective. I don't know how much you have studied psoriasis, but I

personally know of no one who was helped by giving up dairy or

nuts. Perhaps some folks have, but they aren't active posters on any

psoriasis group I'm on, if that's the case.

To the original poster whose son has the challenge, there is also a

condition called dermatitis herpetiformis. This is usually found in those

with wheat allergies and/or celiacs. This condition is often misdiagnosed,

and again, the culprit involved here is gluten. (Also, I just read

recently that certain over-the-counter medications can be a trigger for

DH...things like ibupro., aspirin, etc.)

Try Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. It has lauric acid that destroy bacteria and its

anti-fungal. I hope this may help you. You can research the web on this. You

will be surprised to the benefits of VCO.

---loads of info

study and get the book by dr pagano

and some info too

The Edgar Cayce approach to treating psoriasis

Cayce takes an entirely different approach to this malady siting the

causes in case after case of an internal problem. Thinning of the

walls of the intestinal tract namely at the jejunum and the

duodenum, the thinning allows toxic products from the intestine to

actually leak into the circulatory system and then it finds way into

the lymph flow of the skin. When the blood and lymph systems are

unable to cope with these poisons i.e. they are not being eliminated

as quickly as they are forming then the inflamed skin condition

known as psoriasis is produced. This condition Cayce said was not

always from the same cause.But is always caused by a condition of

lack of lymph circulation through the alimentary canal and by

absorption of such activities through the body.

Treatment

This should focus on ridding the body of these circulating poisons

and bring about a gradual healing of the intestinal tract lesions

while improving coordination between the organ systems. This would

clear the skin permanently by getting rid of the cause. This is

really getting at the cause of the problem.

IN NEARLY EVERY CASE DIETARY IMPROVEMENTS WERE MANDATORY.Since toxic

elements tended to be acidic in nature, the general diet was to

promote alkalinity and thus bring about a better acid/alkaline

balance to the system. Emphasis was on fresh fruit and vegetables to

promote better elimination's of the intestinal tract. One meal a day

should consist of raw vegetables wholly, oil maybe used as a salad

dressing. Little meat except fish fowl and lamb was mentioned.

Eliminate fats sweets and pastries from the diet. Wines were OK but

not stronger drinks, not rum or the like.Good bowel movements were

second to the diet; again helping the body rid itself of these toxic

forces. Which included Enemas,colonics, and laxatives .

Physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, the violet ray and sunlight are used to

stimulate better circulation Osteopathy was also used to relive

pressure upon he autonomic ganglia and related systems and thus

improve circulation.

Herbal remedies to promote healing of these lesions were nearly

always prescibed. Yellow safron, chamomile and mullein teas. Ground

elm bark mixed with water or the chewing of slippery elm bark was

advised to stimulate the digestive secretions.

Very little attention is given to the treating of the skin lesions

at all, since these only reflect what is wrong with the general

system.

Stimulating the circulation was also advised, hydrotherapy,

physiotherapy including massage with a combination of olive oil and

peanut oil, the violet ray was also advised. Also Sunlight to build

up a good perspiration would be good for the body.

Palliatives such as resinol and cuticura ointment were mentioned –

apply one following the other and apply these over the areas over

the abrasions.

One final comment made by Cayce when asked if there was an absolute

cure was. Most of the answers lie in the diet these is a cure it

requires patience, persistence and right thinking.

Suggested diet

At least three mornings each week have rolled crushed or cracked

wheat –not cooked to long which destroys the vitamin content, this

will add the iron, silicon, vitamins etc- to build the blood supply.

At other times have citrus fruits – juices, the yolk of eggs but not

the white portion of them. Brown bread with butter. Ovaltine coffee

[without milk of cream] or milk alone. Occasionally stewed fruits

like prunes, raisons, figs, apricots. But do not eat citrus fruits

with cereals or gruel's or any of the breakfast foods.

During the morning have a malted milk preferably with the raw egg in

same or a taste of the spirits frumenti.

Noon raw fresh vegetables- none cooked at this meal, like tomatoes,

lettuce, celery, spinach, carrots beet tops, mustard, onions or the

like [not cucumbers]. No quantities of broths or soups at this time.

Evenings- broths, soups may be taken in small measure .Let the meal

consist of vegetables that are well cooked and a little of the light

meats if you must. No fried foods at all were advised.

There is a supplementary commentary in the files by john Pagano D.C,

a cooperating physician about the use of Lecithin.

He highly advises all psoriasis sufferers should include this.

Lecithin is a fat emulsifier; it seemingly keeps fat from

accumulating in the arteries by keeping it in suspension. Which

should be great news for those who have a tendency for clogging

arteries. He quotes in Adele Davis book when 254 patients who had

psoriasis were given 4-8 tablespoons of lecithin daily no new

eruptions occurred after the first week and even the most severe

cases recovered within 5 months. John advises the granular form of

the product as this should be most effective 3-4 tablespoons of the

stuff each day until the condition has cleared then 1-2 daily

thereafter as a preventative.Take this any way you can, just get it

down, because of the phosphoric acid content it should be very good

for brain and nerve tissue and for all patients with any type of

degenerative diseases such scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, MS

Muscular dystrophy or even Myasthenia gravis. There were cases where

he had found this beneficial.

From the Cayce files

745-1 female adult

Cayce found disturbing conditions in the blood supply from poor

eliminations, more specifically the jejunum circulation which was

producing the psoriasis. This was aggravated by a tendency for

acidity in the lower portion of the stomach. These are the effects

of the body trying to throw out the toxic forces. There were periods

when these disturbed the general nervous system producing a

disturbed digestive system, very violent headaches and other

problems with the menstrual activity.

The soft tissue of the face was affected, which was also an effect

from the disturbed circulation. These would need local applications

though if the main causes were addressed these would be helped

greatly. There were periods when the lungs, bronchi, throat and

larynx showed some irritations. Digestive forces in the upper

stomach were very good, those on the lower portion was where the

problem lies from an over acidity.

Treatment

No water should be taken unless carrying elm bark or yellow saffron

tea. These should be taken in small quantities but these will

stimulate healing to the organ walls themselves. Just before you

drink the tea take a small pinch of elm bark stirred in a glass of

water. Do not take this after it has stood for longer than 20-30

mins. The saffron tea would be made in a portion of 3oz to 16-24 oz

of water Steeped as usual tea. Take one tea one-day and the other

the next.

Also take small quantities of olive oil, take for 3-4 days then

leave off for 3-4 days then begin again- the dosage a quarter to

half a teaspoon every 3-4 hrs when awake.

Apply the radial appliance for an 1hr each day in the usual

attachment circular manner up to the periods when the menstrual flow

starts, then attach to the 12 dorsal center and the other to the

frontal bone above the puba or at the puba bone this would be for a

maximum of 3-4 days, then resume to the extremities of the body as

usual.

Diet as already outlined but with no spicy foods, wines were ok but

not rum or the like.

840-1male adult

Cayce again found in the blood supply problems arising from the

thinning of the walls of the jejunum through which poisons have

seeped. This arose from a condition, which attacked the blood

supply, which produced a high temperature. These began the effects

upon the organs throughout the respiratory system and the

sympathetic circulation as a sort of a rash. These caused rebel

forces to appear namely problems with tiredness, digestive problems,

concentration problems even when trying hard, problems with fingers,

hands, and lower limbs as a feeling of heaviness.

Cayce mentioned that changing the water the man uses would be

beneficial, this alone was causing irritation with the organs of

assimilation, organs of elimination and the respiratory system .Do

not take water at this time unless it is with lithia, elmbark, or

saffron.

Treatment

For every gallon of water used add a 5 grain lithia tablet, once

boiled add just a pinch of elm bark in a glass of water – the ground

elm bark should be stirred well and let it stand for a min or two.

Take also saffron tea about a heap teaspoon to a gallon of water.

The saffron and elm are slow acting and will have give a cleansing

of the kidneys, better activity throughout the alimentary canal

clear those tendencies for the poisons to accumulate through the

lymph and emuncitory system and over come the tendencies for toxins

to even arise in the body.

Diet as already outlined earlier.

Osteopathic adjustments were also advised for this person to the

lower lumbar and coccyx area, adjust these with the cervicals where

the cardiac and sympathetic forces cross to the head and nerve

forces to the body. Take in cycle's- two weeks on the leave

off ,then two weeks on.

2455-1female 28

Blood supply problems with incordination of the elimination systems

were the hallmark of this person, with a form of strep, which causes

pus to come to the surface. Glandular and circulation activities

were also disturbed. Problems and disturbances were found in the

muscular forces across the lumbar and sacral area, sometimes in the

chest causing a shortness of breath, a trembly sensation through the

whole of the nervous system and a tendency for flushes over various

portions of the body. There were also conditions to the head and

throat and certain kinds of headaches that cause stress to the

sensory organs. All of these reactions were reflex to the general

condition, which is of a complex nature.

Treatment

3-4 osteopathic relaxation's with reference to the cervical and

upper dorsal but coordinating and correcting those pressures in the

lumbar and sacral axis.

When beginning these adjustments take each day to one tablespoon of

sulfur add one tablespoon of cream of tartar and one tablespoon of

Rochelle salts. Stir these well.

During this time when this compound is being taken do not get the

feet wet from out door activities. Do not allow the body to become

to tired from standing to long. For these would aggravate the

elimination process. Under wet conditions the body is more

susceptible to cold. The treatment outlined if followed well will

purify the system and will aid the congestion, the cough, and the

shortness of breath.

After the 4 osteopathic adjustments have been given start with the

hydrotherapy, in the form of the sweat cabinet with a fume bath in

the same using withchazel in the same, put it in 0.5 pint of water

and let it boil in a croup cup letting the steam from this go over

the body in the enclosed cabinet.

A through massage and rubdown should then be given to stimulate the

circulation, the massage oil should be equal amounts of peanut and

olive oil.

Sweats and massages should be once a week for 5 weeks. During that

period at least 1 colonic irrigation should be taken preferably

after the 1st sweat and massage.

Stick to the diet already outlined.

Adding 2oz of grape juice in 1 oz of plain water about 30 mins

before each meal.

No carbonated drinks of any kind.

No fried foods.

No white bread. Pastries pies cakes or the like.

2455-2 same female

3 months later, some improvements were noted and some more

irritations to the superficial circulation. The thinning of the

walls in the intestines was still there which was causing the

problems. The warm weather because of the sweating was causing

greater irritaions. The yellow saffron tea was suggested, a heap

teaspoon to a pint of boiling water. Allow to steep as normal tea.

Or half a teaspoon to a cup of boiling water.

Twice a week but on opposite days take half a pint or more of

mullein tea preferably fresh.1 oz of flowers and leaf to a quart of

boiling water .Let this steep and this may be kept for a week

provided it is put in the ice box.

Evenings when the bath is taken apply cuticurra ointment followed by

the resinol, apply one following the other, apply these over the

abrasions. Not in the hair.

Stick to the treatment already outlined from the earlier reading.

After 2-3 weeks of the teas add the violet ray with the rod

applicator only, just hold in the hand and then swap hands, with

your bare feet on glass. Take this for about 3 mins at a time 3

times a week but not until the teas have been taken.

This lady saw results just two days after starting the treatment

feeling much better with the areas starting to fade away and also

losing a few pounds to boot.

2455-3 same female

More improvements were noted and Cayce said that the violet ray

should be given in cycles 3-4 times then leave off for 3-4 periods

then resume.

This lady had other complications which then cayce dealt with.

One other item he did mention however was that to remove psoriasis

from the scalp one should use carbolated Vaseline.

Of interest this lady noted that as long as she stayed on the diet

psoriasis was in abeyance but a nervous condition or even a mental

upset would cause it to flare up again.

5016-1Female age 25

Thinning of the walls of the intestines were found by cayce as well

as osteopathic misalignments in the 6th 7th dorsal.

Treatment

Osteopathic adjustments at the dorsal at areas mentioned as well as

the third cervical, the 9th dorsal and throughout the lumbar. 12

adjustments should be done coordinating the muscular forces in the

areas where the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems coordinate in

the greater measure. Give these twice a week for the first 6

adjustments.

The sulfur, Rochelle salts and cream of tartar should be given as

already outlined which should be given after the first 6 osteopathic

adjustments.

Yellow saffron tea, the elm water and the cayce diet should be

followed, which seems to be highly consistent on his treatment for

psoriasis.

Feed back from the files

A much more fuller and detailed explanation will be found in the

files themselves but these are the main points.

A lady from Delvon said that she had followed the cayce treatment

and for the first time in 26 yrs she cleared psoriasis from her

scalp.

A doctor who helped another person heal from psoriasis saw results

in a person who had also suffered from it for 13 yrs.

Using the treatment another doctor gave a medical report to the ARE

where he gave the treatment to his wife who had psoriasis for 30 yrs

and skin lesions were over 30% of the body with enlarged cervical

and lymph glands –a complete cure was noted. Improvements were noted

after two weeks. Spinal adjustments seemed to have an immediate and

beneficial effect.

Another report of a 14 yr old who had been afflicted for 6 yrs

mentions in 10 days all traces of the psoriasis were gone.

Another report where a man had severe psoriasis went to see many

doctors tried experimental treatment which seemingly brought on

cancer and was forced to have both legs amputated and still had the

condition after which cayce treatment was given and by applying and

sticking to the treatments he got free of most of the condition.

Margaret mayer had psoriasis over 95 % of her body, following Cayce

treatment she cleared up the condition so that all she had left was

one tiny patch on her elbow but she noted that every time she

stopped taking the tea itchy patches were noted and soon patches

would appear.

Another report – had psoriasis for 5 yrs covering 98% of her body

and put her condition down to poor nutrition after having 3

children, feeding them without solid foods. Applying the cayce

treatment through a chiropractor. She noted as long as she takes the

tea she has no signs of the condition.

A research project instigated by john Pagano DC has signed and

verified reports of the success of the treatment.

" The psoriasis that I have suffered for 15 yrs has cleared up within

3 months from the start of the treatment 21-7-1975.There has been no

recurrence whatsover. " Worthy of note was the dedication of his wife

who followed the recommendations very well indeed.

Additional findings from the report.

1 Emotional stresses and aggravation usually flares up the condition.

2.There may be family tendencies towards the condition.

3.Eating foods of a natural nature are most advisable.

4.One heap of lecithin granules has been most beneficial.

5.Vitamins recommended were A.B complex and E combined with C

One other point on the files is a complete disappearance of the

condition with a patient after he was placed on intravenous drip for

an extended period following a severe heart attack. Which again

strengthens the Cayce point of " thinning of the intestinal walls "

since the patient was not ingesting anything.

Epsom salt baths have also shown their worth in eliminating the

condition. However if there are open sores the burning sensation is

usually to much to bear and it is advisable to wait until these have

healed before the baths. Just 4 pounds in a tub temp about 102-104.

Stir very well. Take the baths twice a week

Do not take the baths if you have a heart problem or high blood

pressure.

Always have someone near you in case of dizziness or fainting.

Another case was a man who had the condition for a number of years

and had tried many doctors without improvement after 4 weeks on the

diet and herb liquids he reported dramatic improvements.

Also mentioned that his arthritis had also improved when the

psoriasis had abated. Leaving off the Cayce diet meant that the

symptoms returned.

Although not specifically recommended by cayce spiritual healing has

the capacity to be very beneficial in all illnesses- see other pages

on this fascinating subject.

Where possible the patient is to do everything they can to help

others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently mentioned

that this will bring faster resultsThis is a great ingredient in

helping all people to transmute their own karma. See other pages on

this particularly important treatment.

You're using a " moisturizer " ? Look at the ingredients (if it even

lists them); it's probably made up totally or almost totally of

petroleum products. This is not good for the skin or your whole body.

Plain coconut oil is an *excellent* moisturizer. I used to use plain

extra virgin olive oil, but the coconut oil absorbs into the skin even

faster, and is even less greasy.

Right now, I'm just using the cheap coconut oil at Walmart. Cook with

it, too, though I've found out it is *not* good for greasing baking

pans (food sticks) and it is not at all good for making pie dough.

Kinda weird.

I keep coconut oil in a small wide-mouth jar in the bathroom. In the

winter, when it's always below 76 F in my house, it stays in a solid

state, and I just dip my clean finger into it like a cream. (coconut

oil is liquid above 76 Deg. F)

Then of course maybe the reason you got this in the first place is

because of chemicals -- makeup, or petroleum-detergent " soap " , or

hairspray, or....

i know this sounds mad...but copha.

i use it with white tiger blam as a linament but copha by itself would make

an ideal block moisturiser.

Vivienne,

Have you tried putting aloe on it?

Hello, I'm Vivienne. I live in New Zealand.

I have a history of Chrohn's disease, which I am healing through diet.

Part of that is fungal stuff (leaky gut, etc.) and I am still not able

to tolerate very much in the way of carbohydrate foods.

I am currently trying to rid myself of persistent psoriasis and other

(seemingly fungal) skin infections - in armpit, pubic region, nipples

and belly-button, ears - all the damp places.

So far, on my head, I have tried: shaving my head and alternating

between drying my scalp out and oiling it (to make getting the dead

stuff off easier). Also I have tried a bit of cider vinegar - straight

on. It's all helping, but I am just wondering if anyone out there has

some fantastically brilliant magic bullet for me!

On the other stuff, I have recently tried ozone ointment with some

success. Prior to that I resorted to a prescription anti-fungal, which

didn't do squat, and Rawlighs' gold ointment, which is useful but no

cure.

My homoeopath tells me that the skin stuff will be the last to leave,

but I am getting rather impatient and would like to speed up the

process.

Any suggestions will be gratefully considered. Except drinking pee.

Been there, done that, and I refuse to even think about it again. LOL

February 13, 2008

From my experience (I did have psoriasis)sufficient essential fatty

acids helped, especially Omega 3 and, taking chlorophyll, chlorella,

or a green drink every day helped. Diet is important as you have to

try and keep your body from becoming acidic so, staying away from red

meats and eating as clean a diet as possible might help your body deal

with detoxing. I feel for you.........it's not pleasant. Good luck!

Hello Vivienne ... I have heard many positive reports from using Flaxseed oil to

relieve Psoriasis, also, bearing in mind that stress can, in some people, cause

a flare-up, I would suggest meditation may be of help.

Good luck! - Ray.

Lately my psoriasis is much better and I wasn't sure if it was a

homeopathic remedy I took or the " green juice " I have been drinking

several times a week. I blend dark mixed lettuce greens in a blender

with frozen raw acai, a little clay, flax seed oil, water and raw

honey.

I use something called " Sting Stop " from Borieke (sp) & Tafel. It is supposed to

be for bug bites, but if I put a few doses on my elbows, that crusty skin slips

right off.
