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.

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!

I had psoriasis and I know the emotional and physical issues related to it. Psoriasis is ALL ABOUT DIET. The dermatologist out there will say there is no cure and keep recommending Cortisone creams. This will worsen or won't work after some time.

My psoriasis was cured in less than 3 months and believe me, all I had to do was to follow the book. I also met Dr. Pagano (lives in New Jersey) to get some confidence for his method of treatment.

Try this and I am sure your Psoriasis will be cured. Guaranteed!

I had psoriasis that was painful and that turned into psoriatic arthritis. The ends of my fingers were cracked and extremely painful, to the point where I couldn't concentrate. The book promises you can be 90% symptom free in 2 months. And, 2 months later I was 90% symptom free. I followed the diet to the letter as I was very motivated. Now, I do have some symptoms but I am generally pain free (and off the diet.) I'm sure if I got motivated again, I could improve further. I'm not sure if it will work for you, but I don't doubt that your symptoms will be alleviated.

I started to follow the diet in this book in October, 2003 and I just recently went to Florida on vacation and wore shorts for the first time in years.

I had tried every cream and UV treatment available. My dermatologist said the only thing I could do now was to try the oral medications. I chose not to go down that route because of the risk involved in pregnancy. After having my first child my psoriasis spread from just my calves and elbows to my back and head. With much frustration I began searching the Internet for anything that would help. I found this book on a website and order the book from Amazon after reading it from cover to cover I started the diet. After 6 months the only remaining area with psoriasis is the lower part of my legs and that is nearly gone.

The book was easy to read and the instructions are very clear. If you are frustrated with all the treatments your dermatologist has prescribed try this and you will be satisified. It is not easy and it will take a while before you see the results but believe me my before and after pictures are as dramatic as those in the book. I only followed the diet, drank the tea and took baths in epsom salt, I did not follow the other regimens in the book but these three worked for me. Oh and I lost 54lbs along with my psoriasis.

After trying everything there is to try and heal my psoriasis, I had pretty much given up on traditional therapies. But each day I would search the internet for new treatments, in the hopes of finding that "new breakthrough!" that would work. I stumbled across this book, and skeptically, decided to try it. What else did I have to lose? I read it word for word, front to back. What he talks about in the book MAKES SENSE. It causes you to do one of those slaps on the forehead b/c you didn't previously realize what was causing psoriasis. Just as liver dysfunction can causing discoloration of the skin (jaundice) as a result of trying to rid the body of toxins, so it can cause patches on your skin in the case of psoriasis.

I strongly URGE YOU to try this book. A lot of the remedies seem farfetched (Epsom salts??) but if you comply with the book and actually do them, YOU WILL SEE RESULTS. At first I was extremely doubtful (who wouldn't be???). But when things began happening just as Dr. Pagano said they would, I began to realize that maybe this guy really knew what he was talking about. Within about five months, I was ready to put on my bathing suit and join my friends on the lake...something I haven't been able to do in over two years.

Even if you are skeptical, give it a try. But you have to stick with it. I have wondered once or twice from the diet, and splurged on some of the "stay away from" foods, and as a result, seen a few patches spring up on my skin.

I still have one or two patches that are very small, and they are beginning to clear with continued dedication to Dr. Pagano's remedy. It may sound like a pain to have to put ourselves through such remedies, but believe me, THE OUTCOME IS WORTH IT. I am much happier knowing that I can control and prevent my outbreaks! No more worrying about wearing long sleeves in the summer.

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

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.

Before writing this review, we waited almost a year to make sure that the results were accurate. My husband is 99% clear now. He is completely used to the diet and follows it without any problems. Of course it is tough at first. But the results are so worth it! We cannot say enough good things about this book and Dr. Pagano. Just keep in mind that 2 or 3 months are probably not enough. We didin't see any significant results for approximately 5 months. And my husbands skin did get worse before getting better, so don't be discouraged or surprised when this happens. If you follow all the recommendations it will work for you, too. Do yourself a favour and give it a try!

I found Dr. Pagano's book, quite by accident, inCT, and "What A Find!" I never thought of looking for a book that would have a cure.After suffering for 36 years with psoriasis, and applying expensive 'rub-on' medications, as well as bear grease, bag balm and a host of other home remedies from the "older generation" here at home, I came to the realization that something had to be wrong inside, but no one (doctor) could help me because they didn't have a clue. Now Dr. John Pagano, he had more than a clue, and his book is proof! I bought his book July 23rd. I read it in 3 days, cover to cover. Immediately I gave up the night shade foods! I studied it for 3 days and lent it to my chiropractor for 2 weeks. I got it back and studied it some more, and on August 16th, I was ready, and began the cleansing regimen. I have been following it as closely as I can, and on Saurday, last, I realized that the psoriasis on my scalp was totally gone! It's wonderful! The rest of my body is responding, and realizing that it took me 36 years to get to this point, I've got as long as it takes to heal myself completely! You'll be hearing from me again. The sooner, the better! I have a strong faith in God, and hope, that have kept me going during the very bad times, dealing with this disease. I see myself in those pictures, and am thankful that Dr. John Pagano saw fit to take the works of Edward Cace, and expound on them, to help those of us who have needed someone to care, and help us heal our bodies. Thanks Dr. Pagano! You are one very compassionate person.
