Re: New help with psoraisis and primary sclerosing cholangits

Hi Maxx88. I am new to this forum as well. I hadn't actually heard of this scherosing cholangits condition before I read your post but I have dealt with Psoriasis for for 15 years since I was 18. I can't claim to be an expert on Liver Flushing but I have done one before and have heard some positive and negative things about doing these flushes. I understand there are a lot of testimonials about people being able to flush out green balls from their gallbladder while others claim that the green balls are just saponified oils. I spent the last year or so doing a lot of things to try to improve my Psoriasis including changing my diet to a more paeleoish/ low carb diet, using lots of different supplements like probiotics, cur cumin, fish oils, medicinal mushrooms,.. Gave up drinking any alcohol for the last year as well. Took a lot of liver support suppliments. All of these things helped me to slowly but surely improve my Psoriasis which I would say was moderate to severe and by the peak of the summer was nearly gone until it started to come back fairly quickly the last few months. The sun has always been helpful as any psoriasis sufferer will know. It is a tricky condition for sure. There is a lot of talk about it being related to leaky gut and for the most part, I think this is essentially true. Most of the immune system is located in the guts.
But then: I was listening to a podcast about ten days ago and discovered a guy named Wim Hof! I have been doing his method for 8 days now and in that time, my condition has improved about 95%! check out the Vice documentary about Wim. Hof AKA the Ice Man. It is supposed to be really good for autoimmune conditions and I can attest to that. I wouldn't be surprised if it helped you with your bile duct issue as well. The method involves doing a simple breathing exercise in which you take about 30 deep breaths in and the holding your breath out on the last one for a while before taking another breath in and holding it for 15 seconds or so. Oh yeah, and then You take a 4 minute cold shower! You can work up to doing a straight cold shower if you want by beginning with turning a hot shower cold at the end and building up. Repeat every morning! It sounds kind of intense but for theses who have suffered with this annoying condition for so many years, it makes it worthwhile to see such fast results. And to top it off, I started drinking a bit again and loosening up on my food restrictions somewhat which I definately would have paid for in the past but doesn't seem to be negatively effecting me anymore. Has anyone else tried this Wim hof stuff.? I'm pretty excited about it as I have tried about every thing for years and have never had such quick results.
Max I would advise some caution with doing Liver Flushes but is is just my opinion. It seems like the bile ducts might undergo some extra pressure during this sort of thing while the stones are passing but as I say, just my take on it. Do what feels right.
