Dr. John's Healing Psoriasis Cookbook

Bless him for all the good knowledge that he left behind him and shared with others. I can't recommend this book enough. After taking a second set of antibiotics, I started developing Psoriasis/Ezcema over my face, ears and eyebrows..extending into my neck. I previously suffered with scalp psoriasis which I tried to keep down as much as possible with topical prescribed steroids and natural oil treatments. When plaques started to flare up over my face I was desperate, steroids prescribed by dermatologist worked but as soon as I stopped the treatment, they were returning with vengance. I couldn't rely on steroids for a long time specially on my face. My left eyebrow itched as hell! I started doing some research online for leaky gut syndrome as root of autoimmune diseases and read a comment in YouTube about Dr'Pagano work (for 50 years). This book is a must, you need patience (can take months, each body is different) and follow the diet. There's cure for psoriasis, your body is trying to eliminate toxins throughout the skin, it's crucial knowing what to eat and stop eating inflammatory foods. This book has a lot of recipes and options which is great for someone who does not know what to eat (or doesn't want to lose weight as myself). Book also enhance do and don'ts. I ordered "Helping Psoriasis" book as I believe that it should be read as well for a better understanding. Got this first because I was struggling with food options. Note: low fat milk is permitted but I'd recommend going dairy free. I am not having any wheat (even wholegrain) and gave up on gluten products. I'd recommend some Rye bread with no yeast if possible. The idea is 80% alkaline/20% acidic. Some teas and omegas to be taken (I am also taking L Glutamine). Homemade cook, your main priority is you. Drink water (no with food). Chew, chew, chew and watch out your emotions (stress is a trigger; meditation/ therapist/Pilates ..can certainly help). Get rest to allow yourself to heal. Love yourself. If you try the diet and condition get worse, don't pannic, there's a healing process where the body is trying to eliminate toxins accumulated over the years. This is part of the plan and clearly explained in the book. There are some pics with examples. 0% alcohol (that's crucial too, your social life shouldn't overcome your health, socialising with psoriasis isn't cool). If you have tried everything, why not a diet? Is harmless, cheap and you have nothing to lose. Some people go raw vegan but I couldn't and you don't need to (some veggies are not permitted as nightshades). Psoriasis shouldn't be a life condition.I was sceptical but results is what I got with this book. I have not received any item for free and I am not doing any marketing but would like to help as much people as possible with this review. I know the pain and struggle. All the very best to everyone!

I found this essential in being able to sustain the food element of this regime for clearing psoriasis. Knowing what others have eaten and getting ideas and methods of cooking is very useful since it doesn't work overnight. Its worth the wait as the psoriasis slowly clears, Update March 2018: It has been almost 3 years since I started this and I am 99.8% free of Psoriasis now, my elbows and knees being the last areas to slowly clear. (Note, personally I followed a plant based version of this diet regime, no animal products). I also increased my fruit intake over the last 6 months, mixing fruits, which seems to of had no adverse effect in fact I'd personally say it helped with the last stubborn bits of psoriasis.

Clear advice. Useful for trying to cure psoriasis properly, naturally and from within. I put 4 not 5 stars as it reads a bit outdated and I’m not keen on a lot of the recipes. Specially written for American audiences - the food reflects this - some not common in UK

This is an excellent book and recipe book. I’ve had psoriasis for about 15 yeRs and I learned new things about my condition. The recipes are quick and non-faffy. I’ve made most of the soups which are great to take to work. Would highly recommend this book. Psoriasis has settled down and is improving daily.

I am going to follow this book and will see how far it takes me from psoriasis ..!!! Thanks to doctor Pagano for doing incredible work. I will post my review once the results are achieved or some improvements.

Looks like there's a whole bunch of tasty treats to cook. My only problem is that it's aimed at an American public and here in the UK we don't have everything you need to follow this diet properly. My son is doing this at the moment and we can all see a difference in his psoriasis which is fantastic. Would advise anyone to try this who doesn't want creams, medication and therapy for the rest of their lives.

Interesting

Would recommend anyone with psoriasis to go down the route of diet change that this book suggests. It will work but it takes some months to see the benefits and it will mean radically altering ones eating if you want to succeed.

I love this book...great book in my shelf.

All of Dr. John Pagano's books are excellent. Have been using them to heal severe Psoriasis and am seeing progressive improvement of a medically pronounced "incurable" condition. The cook book includes the basic treatment info as well as the recipes and menu plans that simplify a change in lifestyle and make it easier to accomplish. And......this dietary plan works for many other auto-immune conditions and other diseases that originate in the gut. Enlightening, empowering and encouraging.

Firstly, you're probably wondering if this works. Yes! I had psoriasis on my forehead, cheeks, a two inch spot on my right elbow and at times spots on my torso. They were deep red and my face had higher, redder spots on a field of red skin. I controlled it with steroidal cream. Now at week seven, my face is just pink, no sloughing skin, no angry red. my elbow, some scaling and pink. A couple of notes, I bought this book and it sat on my shelf after reading. I didn't have the mentality to accept a couple of important things. One, I can't eat what I want and Two, I deserve to be healthy and well. Once I accepted those two things it has been simple to follow the book and get better. Also, the recommendation to stop using my steroidal cream in the book I thought weird. I stopped using it and my face flared up, dark red, raised redder spots, sloughing skin appeared. It was shocking to see how sick I was, but as I adhered to the program, it diminished and seeing this was very, very encouraging. If I was using my elecon cream, I wouldn't have seen that change. In a way working from home during COVID gave me the safety to do that. I've been using Elocon cream for over 20 years and now- I don't. I was treating the symptom not the cause! Can I go back to eating like I did? who knows, I'll introduce one thing at a time for a month or two and see what happens. aka elimination diet style.

It has aged a little, you can also find some good recipes online or with the Psoriasis AIP cookbook. But I am still very happy with it, it has tons of recipes you can follow or change a few things up. It has alot of useful information about what to stay away from and what to eat.
