Hello #60730 --
I'm sorry it's taken forever and, well, 66 days, for me to reply. I had forgotten about this message I posted in this forum.
What I've discovered, since it's been awhile now, is that urine therapy is a good step. But I think what the real issue is in candida. I made the connection one day when I stumbled upon a page online that indicated that many naturopathic doctors believe candida, or another underlying systemic fungal infection (usually yeast) is behind many if not most cases of psoriasis. Since urine is an antifungal, I figured perhaps this is why it was giving me relief. However, the 50% reduction (on both elbows and penis) was as far as it went. I still think urine therapy is valuable for this and many other ailments and I continue to drink my morning midstrean on most days.
So --for the last several months I've severely restricted my intake of sugars and other simply carbohydrates and begun taking antifungals (oil of oregano, coconut oil, pau d'arco, grapefruit seed extract -- check the Candida Forum ) and had GREAT relief. The Psoriasis isn't completely gone yet but I've seen a great reduction in my symtoms, mostly on my penis and partially on my elbows. I'm starting to wonder if I had a yeast infection at some point that became systemic... I guess I'll probably ever know.
Regardless, I think I've discovered what's behind all my symptoms. In addition (and happily) I've lost over ten pounds in the last months, felt more energetic, motivated, and clear-headed. I really think more people probably have candida than you'd ever think.
My suggestion would be to cut out Sugar a bit and try one or two antifungals. See if you see any improvement and then dive in.
All the best,
Crunch
