Re: Helping ourselves

I forgot to mention in direct response to your question about whether Alcohol and Smoking can exarcebate Psoriasis? The answer is yes. Any toxin will exarcebate the problem as it puts further strain on your liver which is at the root of the disorder as previousely explained (see previous post). Alcohol will have a more direct and rapid effect as it is processed by the liver during digestion. Smoking toxins like tar have more of a cummulative background effect on the liver as apart from the nicotine most of the toxins build up in the lungs (as you well know). Note stress is one of the main exacerbaters of Psoriasis because it puts almost immediate strain on your liver by pumping adrenalin into your system which can only be broken down again by our friend the liver. That's part of the reason why we have so many skin and digestion disorders in the west. Our societies are way over-stressed.

So work on staying calm by Deep breathing, Meditation, Massages and general relaxation techniques. Hope that helps..

Remember the liver is your big blood filter resposible for removing most toxins from your body. It filters 4.5 Litres of blood per minute. That is a massive job. In fact it is the largest organ in your whole body. Even larger than your brain or your heart. It truly is the master organ or the body's general as the Chinese call it. So you better love your Liver....
