THE ACUPUNCTURE CAN BE VERY SUCCESSFUL. YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR DIET ALSO, BUT YOU PROBABLY KNOW THIS. NO FRIED FOOD, LESS FATS, MORE CARBOHYDRATES. NO EGGS, EGGPLANT, ZUCCINI, FAT MEATS.

Apart from medicated creams, UV rays are a great natural alternative depending on the degree of spread.
Sitting out in the sun, or even specialist treatment with UV chambers can help prevent their spread. A new treatment is also being trialled here in Australia with great results. It is a series of injections that “cure” the psoriasis in the vast majority of cases. Ask your doctor about this treatment option as it is very safe, effective and alot easier than other tedious treaments.
I have psoriasis for 6 1/2 years now and they don’t have any cure for that. I know that it’s combine with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). And I used this cream Dovonex which is helping alot. Ask you doctor for more info. Good luck.

Psoriasis, a common skin disorder, occurs when skin cells replicate too quickly. The skin produces new cells at about ten times its normal rate, but also it continues to slough off old ones at its usual, slower rate. With nowhere else to go, the new cells pile up under the surface, creating patches of red, swollen skin covered with silvery or whitish scales. It can appear anywhere on the body, but it most often surfaces on the scalp, knees, elbows, buttocks, and the backs of the wrists. The rash doesn’t usually itch, but if you scratch, it may bleed. It comes and goes in cycles and leaves no scars, although the are may be thick and dry even in times of remission. The nails may also be affected and may develop stipples and pitted areas.
The exact cause of psoriasis reamins unknown, but the prevailing theory connects the high rate of cell replication to a genetic flaw. This theory is backed up by the large number of cases that run in families (like mine).
Root causes seem to be genetics, poor diet (especially one that’s low in fibre and essential fatty acids), difficulty digestion protein, overgrowth of Candida Albicans and other microbes, poor liver function, stress, hormonal changes, sunburn, illness or infection, and certain medications.
Recommended foods: get your protein from fish and vegetarian sources like tofu and beans. These foods are much easier to digest than animal proteins are.
Increase your intake of fibre. Eat fresh, whole foods and include whole grains, raw fruits and veges, or beans at every meal.
Essential fatty acids reduce inflammation and have been shown to greatly improve psoriasis. Mackerel and salmon are excellent sources of EFAs, and so are both flaxseeds (sprinkle on salads or cereal) and flaxseed oil. Flaxseeds are also a concentrated source of fibre, so they’re doubly good.
Many psoraisis sufferers are deficient in zinc and vitamin A. Eat pumpkin seeds for zinc, for Vit A eat orange, yellow and green veges.
Foods to Avoid: red meat, poultry, and milk. People with psoriasis often have difficulty digesting protein, and these foods are hardest on your intestines. In addition, both red meat and milk contain arachidonic acid, which aggravates inflammation.
Fatty, fried, and junk foods are all difficult to digest as well, as do products high in refined sugar.
Alcohol causes inflammation and triggers psoriasis in many people. Drink only in moderation, and if drinking sparks a flare-up, cut out alcohol all together.
In some people, psoriasis is brought on by allergic reactions to food, so it might be worthwhile seeing a naturopath or similar to find out about that. Common food allergies in psoriasis sufferes are: gluten, cow’s milk, sugar, and citrus fruits.
Supplements that Help: Hydrochloric acid (may need to get that from a naturopath). Fish oil, sarsaparilla (the herb, not the drink!), milk thistle, vitamin B12, spirulina/chlorella/barley grass, full-spectrum digestive enzymes, potent probiotics, gentian root, potent multi-vitamin, reishi, and aloe vera juice.
That’s all I can think of for now. Hope that helps
