Today, 29th October, is World Psoriasis Day, to raise awareness and funds, to the alleged 125 million people worldwide with this serious, uncomfortable or painful, disabling, and very obvious skin condition.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition which shows as large, thick, scaly and usually silver-coloured lesions which can be found on almost any part of the body. The skin patches can more often be found on certain parts of the body such as the elbows and knees, scalp and neck, but certainly not limited to these areas. The scaly lesions continuously flake off onto clothes or the environment, leading to a social stigma of being “infected”, which can have a huge impact on someone’s social activities or even discrimination, and even mental health. The condition is deemed as an autoimmune condition, as the immune system is attacking the body’s healthy tissue in the skin.
Psoriasis is also associated with a number of comorbidities or other serious conditions, which a person with psoriasis can have too, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, and mental health symptoms. The longer someone has psoriasis, the greater the risks of these serious additional health issues.
The many Psoriasis awareness groups and charity organisations (IFPA, 2025) typically say that the condition is a life-long disease which cannot be cured, which is 100% wrong! They say this because the usual medical “treatments” are medications and topical creams. These alleged “treatments” are only symptom relief, to reduce the psoriasis symptoms, and include oral immune system suppressants such as corticosteroids, anti-inflammatories or even toxic chemotherapy medications to reduce the autoimmune or immune system activity, or topical corticosteroid creams and/or moisturisers to reduce the redness or dryness of the skin and prevent the skin flaking and itching. Some of these medications can have very serious complications, including of weight gain, and even cancer, due to the suppression of the immune system.
Doctors and even dermatologists only try to treat the symptoms of conditions, hence these are the only recommended treatments you will be offered for psoriasis. They don’t find or address the root causes of the psoriasis!
As a Clinical Nutritionist and Naturopath, I have experience in completely reversing psoriasis, by finding and treating all the root causes of the skin issues, and other symptoms, in each person! I take time to investigate a person’s diet and lifestyle to find what might be causing or contributing to the symptoms, as well as analysing blood pathology results which can find nutrient deficiencies and other factors such as anaemia, low thyroid function, liver issues, and more which can affect skin repair and healing. There are ALWAYS root causes to skin conditions like psoriasis, and they can be a different combination of causes and factors in each person.
Our skin turns over very quickly, and in a healthy person, any skin injury or wound will typically heal and disappear in a week or so. If there’s a skin issue which isn’t healing, or getting worse or larger, then there must be something which is affecting the skin repair processes. I find these root causes and factors, and I address or treat them in each person, and I typically see amazing improvements in skin symptoms within weeks! An additional benefit of this approach is that any comorbidities someone has with psoriasis will also reduce and improve, as I find they have the same root causes as the skin issues!
With a holistic and personalised, root-cause based approach, psoriasis CAN be reduced, reversed, and even cleared! This is what I can do to help, if you have psoriasis or similar skin conditions, or know anyone who does.
