Is There A Cure For Psoriasis? Resolve Your Symptoms Today!

By Jane Robotham

I was at work the other day when a fellow nurse laid her arms on my desk. What I saw made my heart go out to her. Red, blotchy, raised areas stretching from her fingers to her elbows. Flaky rough and thickened skin that looked unsightly and painful.
"Eczema?" I asked.
"No, psoriasis" she replied.
"It looks really painful! Obviously you have you tried a lot of different things to get rid of it?"
"I've tried every single treatment under the sun, for years and years. There is nothing that can be done for it. It often makes me feel uncomfortable - some people are really insensitive and look at me like I am contagious. Some people even tell me how ugly it looks straight to my face!"
I really felt for her. We talked further about her experiences with specialists, herbalists, naturopaths and cortisone treatments over the course of her adult life - her despondence at the end of the conversation was palpable. I could see that she had come to accept that her skin condition was there to stay and that was just the way it was.
Are you also living with the debilitating symptoms of psoriasis, eczema or contact dermatitis that just won't go away no matter what you try? You are not alone! Many people around the world have the same problem and are looking for a cure and can't find one. Is there really a cure? Or is it that we need to focus on prevention and look more closely at the causes? This article will explain how you may be contributing to the development of your symptoms every single day without even knowing it.
Psoriasis and other similar skin conditions are known to be caused by a number of factors. Some of them are diet related and some of them are environmental factors. Diet is a tricky one and many people get tested by allergy specialists and come up with a list of what not to eat. If you have done that, and are still suffering from symptoms of Eczema, Psoriasis or Contact Dermatitis, then you need to look more closely at what you are coming in contact with in your home, and in particular what you are putting on your body.
Most sufferers are able to find a body wash from the chemist - or products which claim to be gentle and safe for such troublesome skin. There are plenty of companies who advertise that they are selling you the right product for your sensitive skin. What you don't realise is that there are a number of different ingredients, in fact hundreds of them, present in some of these products that could still be adding to the problem. How are we meant to know which things, on the long list on the back of the bottle, may be harmful to our particular condition? Especially when the companies do not have to list all of the ingredients they use!
What you may not know is that your house can actually become a contaminated wasteland of unseen, invisible chemicals that you touch, breath and absorb through your skin. If you Google the list of ingredients contained in common products in your bathroom and laundry I believe you will be horrified!
It's what these chemicals may be doing to your body and to your skin that really matters. Let's take your shampoo for instance. When you wash your hair, the foam and soapy water runs down the length of your body, where it is absorbed by your skin, entering and contaminating your bloodstream.
What about the cleaning products you use to achieve those shiny glass shower screens and tiles? Each time you shower in the steamy air you breathe in the air born chemicals from the residue left behind.
Even the powerful laundry detergent you use contain a cocktail of chemical substances which then cling to and coat the fabric of the snugly warm sheets and pyjamas you wrap yourself up in each night, releasing tiny microscopic particles which are absorbed by your skin.
The build-up of so many different allergens over a long period of time can cause toxic overload in the body and a number of inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema and contact dermatitis.
How do you know which products contain these allergens? Which ingredients are the most harmful for your skin condition? New studies are being done constantly so it is almost impossible to keep up with the latest information as it happens.
The good news is you don't have to worry! There is one trusted company that does all the research and removes over 3000 harmful or potentially harmful ingredients for you so that you know that you are buying safe products for you and your family. Wouldn't you like to stop reading labels and driving from shop to shop looking for the safest products for your skin? Products that really work, that are ethically sound and are delivered to your door are easy to find!
