Psoriasis What is it and why do I have it ?Psoriasis is a long-lasting skin disease characterized by scaling and inflammation. Scaling occurs when cells in the outer layer of the skin reproduce faster than normal and pile up on the skin’s surface.What Causes Psoriasis? Recent research indicates that psoriasis is likely to be a disorder of the immune system. This includes a type of white blood cell, called a T cell, that normally helps protect the body against infection & disease. Scientists now think that, in psoriasis, an abnormal immune system causes activity by T cells in the skin. These T cells trigger the inflammation and excessive skin cell reproduction seen in people with psoriasis.

These T cells trigger the inflammation and excessive skin cell reproduction seen in people with psoriasis.
What Are Some Promising Areas of Psoriasis Research?Researchers continue to search for genes that contribute to the inherited and other causes of psoriasis. Scientists are also working to improve our understanding of what happens in the body to trigger this disease. In addition, much research is focused on developing new and better treatments. Some of these experimental treatments, such as agents directed at the specific types of T cells involved, work to improve the disease with less overall suppression of the immune system.
In about one-third of the cases, psoriasis is inherited. People with psoriasis often notice that there are times when their skin worsens, then improves. Conditions (triggers) that may cause flare ups include changes in climate, infections, stress, certain foods and dry skin.
Also, certain prescribed medicines, such as beta-blockers that are used to treat high blood pressure, and drugs used to treat depression, may trigger an outbreak or worsen the disease.
Many types of Psoriasis respond differently to treatment.At the Psoriasis and Acne clinic we will assist you to isolate your dietary and environmental triggers. Our Treatment consists of many various treatments so that we can best individualize a treatment for your needs. We supply a unique product range to fully complete the Psoriasis treatment that most suits you.
We welcome you to our clinic.

Q: How do traditional and alternative approaches differ?
A: Traditional medications are those that are taught to a Dermotologist , and are generally medicines, ointments or preparations manufactured by pharmaceutical companies. UV B light therapy and PUVA is also in the traditional category. An example of a traditional approach would be oral medications or topical ointments containing cortisone. Cortisone is an effective anti-inflammatory, but the side effects and potential for damage to the other systems of the body is very high with long term use.
Alternative approaches try to reduce and control psoriatic outbreaks with cleansing diets (detoxification), herbs or mineral preparations. Many people think alternative remedies are not scientific. This is not so! Although much data about herbal combinations can be considered anecdotal, there are hundreds of years of knowledge beginning to re emerge. The natural and alternative approaches we look for must be free from the long term side effects and possible damage to the other body's systems.
Q: Can you tell me the best approach for my psoriasis?
A: I do prescribe treatments and treatment regimes. These are on an individual basis. I offer information and give you information to making an informed decision. Our product list was not put together randomly. We searched for specific approaches that could help provide relief and minimize the potential damage to the body if used long term.
Q : What does the treatment you offer consist of ?
Basically the treatment consists of
1. Strengthen and clear the build up of toxins that perpetuate the psoriasis process.
2.Repair by offering your body the foods (fuels) and nutrients it needs to function in a state of balance (symptom free ).
3.Maintenance - Stay psoriasis free by learning about your own body, how it responds to certain foods, and what your psoriasis triggers are.
To complement the diet, you may want to add Omega 3 oils , minerals ,herbs designed specifically for Psoriasis and a herbal ointment can also be beneficial during your cleansing to reduce itching and scaling.
