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.

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

Gluten, Grains, Legumes and Autoimmune Disease

Image
Prominently situated at the base of the food pyramid, grains are promoted as the fiber-rich foundation of a healthy diet. But are grains really a necessary part of your diet, or can they in fact be harmful? If you have an  autoimmune disease , you may already be aware of the fact that gluten, the protein in wheat that gives bread its sticky, doughy texture, is an inflammatory substance. However, wheat is not unique. Many of the plants that we consume contain similar proteins that will increase inflammation in your body and contribute to a  leaky gut . Although most people benefit from avoiding foods such as grains, pseudograins, legumes, and nightshades, I recommend for those with an autoimmune disease to omit these foods from their diets, at least until their inflammation has subsided and their gut has healed. Food Sensitivity  Testing is the best course of action to determine whether or not these foods will continue to be a problem in the future. In order to better understan

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
