Hi melis;
It would be helpful to know more about your current condition.
How bad are your outbreaks? If you are responding well to diet changes, there is much you can do to further heal, that are along these lines.
Have you done an elimination diet yet to see what foods are a problem for you, or whether you have developed allergies?
You should determine if you have a bacterial/yeast problem related to having psoriasis. Do you have any of the following: A burning sensation on your skin at some times? Did you used to have a tendency to eat a fair amount of sugar? If you rub vinegar on your psoriasis, does it sting, or in applying vinegar twice a day to an affected area, does the psoriasis improve over the course of a few days (you would see shedding of skin, and the lesions getting smaller/healing)?
A recommendation for you to start with.
When making a juice drink, make this one:
1 apple
1/4 of a medium beet
1 handful of parsley
1 carrot (optional)
Start a program of using fiber; Recommend psillium husk fiber, 2 tablespoons per a day taken with lots of water throughout the day.
You can find psillium husk fiber at many health food stores, or by mail order at:

Start a program of Mexican/American Saffron Tea; 1/4 teaspoon in a cup of boiling water, let sit a few minutes, strain, add honey if you want, and drink one cup daily. You can get this at a local herbalist, some health food stores or via mail at:

This is a starting point. Let us know what you learn from trying these things.

p.s. you will get lots of other input from others in the forum!

Steve, would you give me more info on the vinegar? What does it mean if it stings vs. clears?

this just reminded me of the 12 days of Christmas.....maybe you could do the twelve days of juicing. Now I don't know much about juicing but I told my wife to try to do a "vegetarian week" at home. I've never done that but a lot of these new eating ideas not only are probably better for us but can be made to be fun as well!
Juice on.

Ms. E;
One of the things that can happen with psoriasis, is the development of an internal and external microbe growth that compounds the psoriasis.
The way I have to date, figured out to be the easiest way to determine if this is a valid problem on an individual basis. Is to see if topically, vinegar helps clear the burning, or heal the psoriasis. If it does, you have a bacterial infection that has developed.
Vinegar does 2 things: It is an anti-bacterial. It also is acidic. The particular bacteria that co-exists with psoriasis can not live with either.
If you apply vinegar topically, two times daily, and leave it on, and the result after a few days is that the psoriasis crusts over, the pain is reduced, and the psoriasis STARTS to heal, then you know you have a bacterial problem, and can start treating it internally and externally.
If you have a bacterial problem, this is one of the two biggest factors to your being uncomfortable, physically feeling terrible, and your skin not staying clear. (the second factor would be diet and allergies).
Buy a gallon of cider, or white vinegar at the grocery store and try the experiment for yourself.
If you do find this to be true, let me know, and I will give you some more info on treating this problem.

P.S. The reason vinegar works is the same reason sun exposure works-it is anti-bacterial.
