Psoriasis

What is psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a noncontagious common condition of the skin that causes rapid skin cell reproduction resulting in red, dry patches of thickened skin. The dry flakes and skin scales are thought to result from the buildup of the rapid production of skin cells. Psoriasis commonly affects the skin of the elbows, knees, scalp, and ears.

Psoriasis is considered a long-term (chronic) skin condition. It has a variable course with periodic ups and downs. Sometimes psoriasis may clear for years and stay in remission. Some people have worsening of their symptoms in the colder winter months. Many people report improvement in warmer months, climates, or with increased sunlight exposure.

Causes of psoriasis

The exact cause remains unknown. There may a combination of factors, including genetic predisposition and environmental factors. The immune system is thought to play a major role. Despite research over the past 30 years looking at many triggers, the "master switch" that turns on psoriasis is still a mystery.

Treating psoriasis with Wheatgrass

Psoriasis, generally regarded as being autoimmune in origin, often responds well to the immunodulatory effects of wheatgrass Spray. Daily topical application (I use the liquid spray) helps boost the immunological status of the skin and, in time, clinical improvement is almost invariably observed. Some extract is also absorbed through the skin bestowing an added bonus of improved systemic immunological status. This appears to be augmented by twice daily oral ingestion of the extract (Dr wheatgrass Supershots) and the patient also enjoys better health and greater resistance to infection.

Clinically, pruritis or itch tends to diminish early (sometimes in two or three days) followed by thinning and flattening of plaque over several months. Following continued daily application, lesions begin to fade and can eventually disappear or reduce in number or size. Patients generally find that in time they can apply the extract on a needs basis rather than every day.

I recommend that treatment be continued for at least six to twelve months. So far, all my psoriatic patients have noticed significant improvement in this time, and only maintenance treatment on a needs basis has been all that was usually required. Many patients are eventually able to dispense with both oral medication and topical pharmaceuticals.
