The meds out there only treat symptons.................
There is a lack of something in our bodies .....or too much of something in our bodies...........

Diet and sunshine affects p more then any med or treatment out there.
What do we gain from the sun???...................... Sweat flushes toxins from body.
What do we gain from diet..................Healthy body that functions properly and elimnates waste regular.........
What is the variables that affects each person different?? That changes when we are young, old, sick, stressed , active and inactive...........also during seasonal changes............... The amount of exercise needed to sweat and the need of water.
A simple way to determine if you are in need of more water, Use the color of your urine as a guide.......If urine is yellow you need water..........
Some of you will be amazed at how much water it will take to keep you urine clear..................Each person is different..........
As long as your urine has color...........Psoriasis will flare.

Will not hurt to try ..................Drink plenty of water and work up a good sweat.............


My urine is neon yellow because of all the Vitamins I take every day. I do drink water all day long. I have a case of bottled water in the trunk of my car and at home, at all times. But, by the end of the day my urine does become clear. I truly didn't know that the color of urine can affect our health.
I'm 56 years young and play singles racquetball for an hour twice a week. In fact, I'm working my tush off trying to stay healthy.
So, thanks for the information and stay well.

we (psoriatics) get Vit. D3 from the sun also....which is good for some types of psoriasis.


I wish.... pretty much all I drink is water, I might have one soft drink every 6 months!

We get immunosuppresion, thus the reason why our P gets better with it.
Some people see some effects from diet, some don't. I think as long as you eat healthy enough, you don't need to obsess about eating superhealthy. Check this out for what color your urine should be.

The whole root cause thing has been bugging me for years. I'm always trying to find SOMETHING that triggers flares. My latest theory involves eating food cooked over charcoal versus gas. hahahhaha I know it sounds stupid, but desperate people come up with stupid hypotheses. :)


Good chart....I like it
Does your urine match that chart??...........
Based on my average routine ............. outdoors 10 to 12 hrs a day ....moderate activity........80*f temps
3 gallon of water/gatorade will put me in the #2 spot on the chart.
Sunlight has no effect on my psoriasis ....It stays the same .
To make a long story short..................Try keeping your urine color as close to clear as you can for a least a month..........no coffee,alchol,soft drinks or
juices with lots of sugar............
What do you have to lose.............Anytime your urine is toward the discolored side you are feeding your psoriasis .
Food for thought: dead sea salt, epsom salt , and baking soda all are a form of salt................there are several accounts of ppl responding to treatment involving these salts................Salt forces the body to retain water to prevent dehydration.

Never know....................... it could be this simple.


For me, Clobestasol cleared my P by almost 100%! So, it did not just treat my symptoms! And I have had absolutely no rebound...


Boy, if you're pee'in 8, that don't look good! So whats up with asparagus. Everytime I eat asparagus I swear I pee an 8, and it stinks too.
I love to eat asparagus in season, I can't imagine that eating that vegatable would be bad for you.
Heres a neat one, I have some strange foot P, or at least I thought it was P of some sort, not your typical plaque but definately a skin issue. Cuttings sent in by the podiatrist indicate the presence of "Candida something" Aint that strange. I'm going to go see him again to figure out what to do with it.


well... let's see... beer makes my urine clear... sweet! I'll just drink until my psoriasis has gone away! I knew I was on the right track to finding a cure!
How do you know what color your urine is if you use one of those blue toilet bowl cleaners in the tank? I guess a faint green is on the ok side? :)
I'll stick with western medicine for the meantime, but hey, if water and exercise are working for you... I say go for it! I drink tons of water and exercise 4 days a week, 2 hours a day. It doesn't seem to help the P at all, whereas the sun does. Exact opposite of what Dieseldoc was saying. Just goes to show how crazy P really is.

^^ yea, you'd think faint green is the color youd strive for.
hmm, i started excercising, and drinking mroe water, then again, im only 10% covered (mostly leg) now, but i dont ever show my legs, so what was the point of all this again? i have no idea. waiit! i remember. Im all about solutions, so if this is one, not only will i be P free.. but i'll lose weight and hopefully be semi-cute.. wooo hoo!! all-around WINNER!
