Summary: I was skeptical, but now I'm convinced
Review: I am in my late 20's and have been a mild psoriasis sufferer for about 10 years. I have been to numerous dermatologists and have been prescribed countless steroids, pills, etc., but nothing has proven to be consistently effective in clearing my condition. Let me also state that I am a skeptical person by nature, and have never been a believer in any of the popular alternative healing methods. However, I have noticed in the past year that my condition would be almost non-existent one day and all of the sudden flare up another day. Common sense told me that the psoriasis outbreaks had to be the effect of some underlying cause. Why else would I be fine one day and a mess the next? Doctors had no answers. I did plenty of research and finally decided to get this book, primarily based on its popularity and other positive reviews. I started on the program immediately. All I did was cut out the tomatoes, junk food, etc., and started drinking the herbal teas and also taking Omega 3 capsules. I'm not planning on getting any of the cholonics (spelling??) or spinal adjustments. Anyway, within 3 weeks my condition has cleared almost completely. It also occurred to me that my latest outbreak came about immediately after a weekend in Las Vegas where I was sucking down bloody marys (tomato juice)! I told my dermatologist about this and she scoffed at my theory. According to her, "diet has very little to do with the condition". The only creams or ointments I will use is the dovonex, as I believe this to be the safest. Other than that, I highly recommend following this program. Psoriasis sucks, and I don't know if this remission is due to some sort of placebo effect, positive thinking, etc?????, but I am 100% convinced that this treatment is effective and not only safe, but healthy! Do your own research and DON'T RELY ON YOUR DERMATOLOGIST!! Hope this helps someone.

Summary: Psoriasis is Gone!!
Review: I had psoriasis for over 25 years, mainly it was on my elbows and one knee. In the last couple years I developed a patch on my right leg, about 3 inches wide and 7 inches long. About April of last year, 2003, my psoriasis began getting worse. I had been to dermatoligists and doctors on occasion over the years, but none helped my condition. My brother has had a severe case of psoriasis for many years and has tried many treatments to no avail. My case wasn't real severe, so I just lived with it.
I began researching on the internet about more natural psoriasis treatments when I ran across Dr. Pagano's book, people who had written about it. It made sense to me because no ointments, creams or any external treatments seemed to help anyone that I had read about except for maybe a temporary clearing or partial clearing of symptoms. So I began to follow the diet as best as I could following what I had read on the internet about the diet contained in the book. After about 3 weeks I ordered the book thru Amazon. My psoriasis totally cleared up within 2 months of following the diet very closely. I didn't do the enemas, but had one colonic, which I decided never to do again. My problem was, my skin became VERY itchy and red. My psoriasis was gone, but it seemed I developed eczema. I was under lots of torment and would take a hairbrush to bed to brush my legs as they itched so bad. I would brush them until they hurt so I could sleep. My arms also itched and were red as well as my neck. This continued on for 5 months while I followed the diet pretty close, my wife was so very patient to make sure the meals we had were closely following the diet. I drank about a gallon of filtered water a day.
It was much improved, the itching and redness, by the time 6 months was up, but would not completely go away. One day I became aware of the atmosphere of the job where I work. I am an electrician at an industrial plant where they do metal plating with acids and chemicals. The ventilation is very poor there and even though I don't work near the plating line, the air has these chemicals and acid in it. I took off 10 days over this past Thanksgiving just to get away from breathing that air, to see if that would help. By the time I went back to work my skin was 90% clear. At the end of the first week back, my neck was red, sore and itching and the skin on my hands starting getting red and skin was sore. To make long story short, I quit my job there in February, and now am umemployed and looking for another job. My health is more important than a good job, as you can't buy your health, you have only one life to live. It has been now about 5 weeks away from there, and my skin is totally back to normal, no eczema and no psoriasis, 100% clear.
My conclusion, the psoriais I had was due to an overload of toxins in my body. That was totally clear after 2 months. The eczema, reddening and itching of my skin was the toxins being released. That didn't go away completely because of the chemicals and acids in the air where I worked. If I had not been working it that atmosphere, I'm sure I would have been symptom free of any skin ailment within 3 months. I would advise anyone to do this diet, it may be rough at first, but hang in there, it is worth it. You may wonder in the middle of it, as I did, but hang in there. There were times only sitting in the bath tub would give me relief, and I was at the point of tears a couple times, frustration and desperation, but now that it is over, it was really worth it!! My uncle had psoriasis for years and just died of cancer, of which he had for only a couple of years before it killed him. If you have psoriasis, you have an overload of toxins in your body, get this book and get rid of those toxins. Your psoriasis will clear up and hopefully prevent any worse diseases from developing. I am sold on eating healthy, natural, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. You will be surprised how following the diet isn't so hard if you are determined to be free of psoriasis!

Summary: This book was very helpful to me.
Review: I have had psorasis all my life and my skin is now so thin from the medications I've used over the years that traditional treatments are no longer an option. I don't do everything in the book, but I have eliminated red meat and the nightshade vegeatables. The one time I slipped and started eating red meat again, my skin immediately reacted. After I read the book, I took it to a chiropractor who read Chapter 8 and then adjusted my spine accordingly. I had this done weekly for several months. Now I go for follow-up adjustments every six weeks. Even if nothing helped the psoriasis, the adjustments make my whole body feel better. I think everyone with this skin condition should read the book and follow the parts they are comfortable with. It can't hurt, and will probably help.

Summary: IF YOU ARE SERIOUS AND STICK WITH IT - IT WILL WORK!
Review: I was very skeptical when I first got this book - but as I began to read, it really started to make sense to me. I had thought that my diet was important but my doctor did not share this opinion. As I began reading this book, it all became very clear to me. The premise of cleansing the body from the inside out makes so much sense. Dr. Pagano gives you all the step by step information, including the fact that there will be a flare-up before it really starts to heal. It's not easy, but if you are determined, as I was, and really want it to succeed, stick with it. To help me do this, I also ordered his companion Cookbook, "Dr. John's Healing Psoriasis Cookbook . . . Plus! which is available ONLY through his website at psoriasis-healing.com, but it helps tremendously in making meals so you can stick to the plan. To all those who have written reviews, I've read them all and I am totally surprised at those who are critical - sure - you need to go to the bathroom, that's part of cleansing - that's how the toxins that we have allowed to build up inside of us come out, instead of through our skin. Thank you Dr. Pagano for helping all of us who suffer from this unsightly disease - you are an inspiration to all of us.

Summary: A True Miracle
Review: I'm not sure what else to say about this book that hasn't been said. If you have psoriasis, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. It's not easy to change diet habits, but you will feel so much better. I did not have the quick results, it took about 4 months for me to clear and the condition got worse before better (as the book states). I recommend identifying a friend to help you with support. I know I would have given up without it. But the diet will work if given time. I only wish I would have taken pictures before and after because sometimes I don't believe it myself. It's been about 6 months now, and I cheat a little, but stay away from the nightshades. I remain 90% clear, I've lost weight (not a bad side effect), and I feel much healthier. I owe Dr. Pagano for giving me back my self confidence.

Summary: You are what you eat and this book proves it !!!!!!
Review: I've been plagued with this disease for almost 7 years now and have 50% of my body covered with sores. I have been to the Cleveland Clinic and many other doctors searching for relief. After great expense, I was no better off afterwards than before, sometimes in worse shape. I have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of of this to no avail!!!!! When I came to this book I was doubtful but like every other suffer desperate for relief, I forwarded the link to my wife and she bought the book. I have been doing this for almost a week now and I am starting to see the results, even though I haven't followed it to a "T". Yeah the teas are horrible, but other than that it is not bad - better than the disease. So if you are also plagued with Psoriasis, I HIGHLY recommend this book and the lifestyle change it promotes. Yes I miss my steak and potatoes, but that's life - time to move on. As for the one review that states it all stress related, this individual surely doesn't have psoriasis. I am a Network Administrator and my day is nothing but stress filled, like almost every other American out there, but yet I am healing. I eat more fruits and veggies than ever before, drink my water, eat my fish and chicken, salads, drink my teas (YUCK) and almost all other things recommended - sorry I'm not perfect - but it is working. So in summary when your momma said you are what you eat - believe her - GOD gave her wisdom - just follow it and eat right. I'll do a follow up review in 3 months, prayerfully I will continue to heal and be done with this once and for all.

Summary: Just Like My Mom Said, Heal Yourself From The Inside Out
Review: Two and a half years ago, my daughter and I were diagnosed with a mild case of eczema. I went looking for natural remedies. I was attracted to the title of this book as well as the photos on the back. It looked like the patches on my face and arms. I saw that there was a chapter on eczema as well. I followed the diet recommendations for Psoriasis and it didn't take long to notice the difference. I did the 3 day diet and made revisions for my daughter to benefit because she couldn't do it fully (she only weights 99 lbs). I also made lotions and body oils with the peanut oil Dr. Pagano suggested and other herbs. Along with the diet change, the peanut oil mix just seemed to lift off the dried reddened skin and reveal healthy skin. After I washed it off I didn't see the patches as clearly and after about 2 months, they were not even red anymore. All I could see was the darkened skin where they once were, then that evened out with lots of cocoa & shea butter. If it wasn't for this book, I'd still be wearing a ton of foundation make-up and ashamed to show off my skin in the summer and I'd be embarrassed whenever someone looked at the patches on my face. I was always afraid that they could see under the make-up. Our skin is smooth and clear now. No more itching and no more red patches. Thank you Dr. Pagano. ~Blu
