Is the product available in the Philippines? also available in the United States?

Thanks

I've had psoriasis for nearly 30 years. The only thing that has cleared it up completely is UV. It does come back slowly once treatment has finished but it certainly helps to control it. I've tried acupuncture which didn't work for me. I've just begun using oregan grape root from www.skinshop.co.uk. I've used it for a week and can already see a good improvement.

You can buy the Oregon Grape Root Range at www.skinshop.co.uk

I recently saw a story on the internet, where a guy had applied for the army, but failed his medical because he had guttate psoriasis, does anyone know if this would affect my application to the fire service?

Please try the following;

Cut out all of the following and then check if you see any improvement;

Fermented milk products e.g Cheese, yogurts
Spinach
Kale
Aubergine
Courgette
Leftover meats
Tinned tuna
Shellfish
Processed meats, sausages, bacon.
Fermented Soy products e.g. Soy sauce
Sauerkraut
Vinegar
MSG
Some spices e.g. curry powder, paprika
Tomato and tomato based products
Citrus fruits (Lemons are OK)
Pineapple
Fresh berries
All Alcohol except plain vodka, gin, white rum. Red wine, beer and cider is very high in histamines
Also, sulphites
Chocolate
Cola drinks
Tea and herbal teas (Coffee is OK)
Artificial colouring esp. tartrazine and flavouring

Take a Vit C supplement

The above list of foods either naturally contain histamines or are known to increase the level of histamines in the body. Some people may be missing the enzyme which naturally breaks down histamine in the body (irritation of the stomach lining can cause this enzyme to disappear) I won't go into greater detail here but I have researched a lot and have drawn my own conclusions. I have cut out or cut down on all histamine rich foods and as Vit C is a natural anti-histamine, taking it also helped. There are also other anti-histamine supplements but I found a high strength Vit C was all I needed. This elimination diet can also work for Eczema, Acne, Acne Rosacea (I've seen it work on family and friends). My psoriasis was often red, itchy and sore during the day but better after a nights sleep, this convinced me that it was more of an allergic reaction to foods I was eating. This lead to a lot of research and trying different food elimination diets. I found that the above foodstuffs were definite triggers of my psoriasis, there are more foods to be added to this list but a internet search on foods high in histamines or known to increase levels of histamine in the body will give you a complete list. I have cut out all alcohol. The list of foods is quite random, I would never have thought that Kale or Spinach was bad for me but they did contribute to the psoriasis because of the histamine content. These natural food products wouldn't be a problem but for the ineffectiveness of my body in breaking down histamines. This randomness makes psoriasis very difficult to control through your diet but believe me, it is well worth the effort. There is no quick fix for healing psoriasis, it takes time and diligence but it can be healed.

Good Luck!

P.S I was 70% covered in different types of Psoriasis, from scalp to ankles and had been prescribed Coal Tar treatments for scalp and body. I have not used any of the treatments, just a well known skin cream available from the chemist to hydrate my skin from time to time.
