Psoriasis: From the inside out...

Do You Have PSORIASIS?
Psoriasis is very common with more than 3 million cases per year in the US alone.

The most common symptom is a rash on the skin, but sometimes the rash involves the nails or joints.
People may experience: 
Pain areas: 
  • in the joints 

Skin: 
  • rashes
  • dryness
  • fissures
  • flakiness
  • peeling
  • small bump
  • thickness
  • redness 


Also common: 
  • depression
  • inflamed tendons
  • itching
  • joint stiffness
  • plaque
  • small dents in nails


Psoriasis is and autoimmune condition and as with all autoimmune conditions they are not idiopathic (unknown cause). They are a culmination of multiple causes and system breakdowns that synergize into a pro inflammatory autoimmune response.
You must remember you will never get well from psoriasis if you think you have a skin condition. You do NOT! Your skin, nails, and joints are the victims of your own immune system.

Of all the factors contributing to psoriasis (hormone imbalance, food allergies, xenobiotic toxins, dysbiosis) dysbiosis is the major initiator. Dysbiosis is a condition when a non acute, non infectious host micro organism adversely affects the host.  This overgrowth of the Bad bacteria can push a patients immune system into overdrive causing a wide array of problems, psoriasis included.

“We have repeatedly observed psoriatic flares associated with microbial infections!” 
-Patricia Noah, Ph.D University of Tennessee, College of Medicine.

Primarily this happens in the gut and must be addressed.

9 Recommended Lifestyle Changes For Autoimmune Diseases

Image
Autoimmune diseases have become a huge health burden. They're now estimated to impact over 24 million Americans, or between  five to eight percent  of the population. In fact, more than 80 diseases have been classified as autoimmune, and the list continues to grow. That includes conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, Celiac disease, and thyroid disease. They often involve hard-to-classify syndromes like inflammation, pain, swelling, and misery. Autoimmunity occurs when your immune system—your body's defense against invaders—becomes confused. In other words, your body is fighting something, whether that's infections, toxins, allergens, or a stress response. But somehow, that immune army can't distinguish friend from foe. Your own tissue gets caught in friendly crossfire, and your joints, brain, skin, and sometimes your whole body become casualties. Typically, drugs are used to address autoimmune diseases. In many cases, they ...

5 Explanations Of Lupus And Hashimoto’s Co-existence

Image
According to estimates, about 6% of patients with lupus also have hypothyroidism and 1% hyperthyroidism. Hashimoto’s disease is the most common form of hypothyroidism in patients with lupus. This finding doesn’t come as a surprise because both conditions are autoimmune diseases with a common etiology. Lupus is a systemic autoimmune disease that can target almost any part of the body, especially the joints, lungs, heart, skin, blood, kidneys and brain. In Hashimoto’s the immune system attacks only the thyroid, however a lack of thyroid hormones can affect all bodily functions and any organs. As a result when lupus and a thyroid disease coexist it can have a much bigger negative impact on your body. Many symptoms of both disorders can overlap and drive each other making the diagnosis and treatment even more difficult. It can take years for Hashimoto’s disease and lupus to develop and progress to the stage when a person can be diagnosed with a standard testing. This can lea...

How The Gut Microbiome Influences Autoimmunity

Image
I like to think of the gut microbiome as a rainforest. In a rainforest, many types of plants live together in a symbiotic ecosystem but if the balance gets disrupted, the good or beneficial plants begin to die and the bad ones start to take over. This also happens in your gut– even just one dose of antibiotics can throw off the balance of the good bacteria that used to keep your immune system running optimally. The good gets killed or greatly reduced, and the bad bacteria (SIBO) and yeast (Candida) that used to be kept in check can take over and grow out of control. Additionally, if you’re eating a diet high in refined carbohydrate, sugar and alcohol then you will feed the SIBO and yeast ( Candida ), letting them grow even more out of control and this is called dysbiosis. Certain medications such as antibiotics, acid blocking drugs, birth control pills and steroid can also cause further dysbiosis. As the dysbiosis gets more out of control it can cause a suppression in your immune...
