Scalp flaking gone after Pentrax and ACV
After washing my hair with Pentrax shampoo and applying apple cider vinegar, my flakes are gone!

I washed my hair with Pentrax two days ago, and sure enough the flakes were all gone, and the scalp looked "calmer". Then yesterday before going to bed I applied ACV to my scalp, with a cotton pad and using my fingers to work it through. I planned to wash my hair in the morning to get rid of the smell, but there was no smell at all in the morning! The skin looked even better.
Coal tar works by slowing down the rate at which the skin cells multiply, which is too fast in psoriasis and dandruff. ACV changes the skin pH so that the bacteria/yeast/fungi that is usually present in dandruff/flaking cannot survive. I will repeat the ACV application tonight and tomorrow, and then will wash with pentrax again. After that hopefully I won't need to do this more than once a week, and with the help of fasting and, after that, raw food, I hope to greatly reduce the psoriasis on my scalp so that I won't need any topical products anymore.
A side effect of pentrax was that it lightened my hair. Usually this occurs only with light-colored (blonde, red) hair, from what I've read. And my hair is dark brown. Now it's more like medium-dark brown with highlights--it's actually a very pretty color :) Not sure if it's temporary or permanent. And I hope I won't turn blonde after using pentrax again!
Coal tar is supposed to be toxic in high quantities, so I will only use the pentrax every once in a while, as little as possible.
