By xpat

Hi,

I am facing Psoriasis
since 1 year. During this winter, the Psoriasis stretched to all over my body
and head.

I have tried the
following medicines (Dermovate & Daivobet
creams/ointments, Daivonex scalp lotions, Xyzal (Levocetirizine 2HCI) & Omega-3
(Fish oil Concentrate 100mg) Tablets) already. The Doctor advice me now to
try Methotrexate!!

 

70% of the body is
affected by Psoriasis now, except my face, thank God.

I am staying here
with my wife & 2 kids.

I hope that I
will find an advice from QL in this situation to get back

 

Thank you

Alternative therapy

Antibiotics are not indicated in routine treatment of psoriasis. However, antibiotics may be employed when an infection, such as that caused by the bacteria Streptococcus, triggers an outbreak of psoriasis, as in certain cases of guttate psoriasis.[citation needed]

Climatotherapy involves the notion that some diseases can be successfully treated by living in a particular climate. Several psoriasis clinics are located throughout the world based on this idea. The Dead Sea is one of the most popular locations for this type of treatment.

In Turkey & in Croatia (Altermedica), doctor fish which live in the outdoor pools of spas, are encouraged to feed on the psoriatic skin of people with psoriasis. The fish only consume the affected areas of the skin. The outdoor location of the spa may also have a beneficial effect. This treatment can provide temporary relief of symptoms. A revisit to the spas every few months is often required. Best known is the spa “Kangal Thermal Springs”, near the Turkish village of Kavak. According to the testimony of numerous psoriasis patients, the fish lead to a significant relief. This spa is located south of the historic silk road in Anatolia. The next big city is Sivas. Treatment in this hot spring has been examined until now in two small clinical trials, with positive results.[19] [20]

Some people subscribe to the view that psoriasis can be effectively managed through a healthy lifestyle. This view is based on anecdotal evidence, and has not been subjected to formal scientific evaluation. Nevertheless, some people report that minimizing stress and consuming a healthy diet, combined with rest, sunshine and swimming in saltwater keep lesions to a minimum. This type of "lifestyle" treatment is suggested as a long-term management strategy, rather than an initial treatment of severe psoriasis.

A number of patients have reported significant improvements from sun and sea water: unfortunately, salt alone does not have any effect. Sea water contains so many minerals and different life forms (thousands of species of bacteria alone[21]) that it will be hard to determine which of these is causing the observed effects. Interestingly, people in the tropics differentiate between "live" and "dead" sea water: "live" sea water is water that has never been covered.[22]

Some psoriasis patients use herbology as a holistic approach that aims to treat the underlying causes of psoriasis. Some alternative therapies consider Oil of Oregano to be a powerful herbal method of treatment.

A psychological symptom management programme has been reported as being a helpful adjunct to traditional therapies in the management of psoriasis.[23]

New studies have shown that smoking cessation can improve the outcome of psoriasis, and also decrease the incidence of its occurrence.[citation needed]

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is used for several skin afflictions and according to some patients also provides relief.[citation needed]

Fumaric acid.  Look it up on the internet there is a lot of information there about it.  I work in a Herb Shoppe and we have several customers that use it and have had good luck.  It is not a prescription medication.
