Psoriasis
What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis, medically known as Pseriasis, is a chronic skin disease that occurs with raised, scaly patches on the skin and is caused by damage to the skin by the immune system (autoimmune). The most common areas where it is seen are the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp.
Red plaques that are usually separated from normal skin with clear boundaries, have pearl-colored dandruff on them and can be of different sizes are the classic symptoms of psoriasis.
These plaques can also cause itching and pain from time to time. In some patients, it can also affect the nails and deformities such as pinhead-like pits on the nail surface, separation of the nail from the bed, thickening of the nail, and yellow oily spots under the nail occur.
The disease progresses with flare-ups and periods of remission, the main problem is in the skin, but in some patients it can also cause arthritis in the joints.
What Causes Psoriasis?
The exact cause is unknown, some triggering factors are listed. Factors such as genetic predisposition, stress, air pollution, eating habits, excessive alcohol, smoking, sunburn, some drugs used such as cortisone, aspirin and lithium, major physical or psychological traumas, viral or bacterial infections are considered.
In terms of regulation medicine, auto immune diseases are the imbalance of the immune system and its activity in a way that harms itself. The main reason for this is the stress load of the body. This stress can be mental stress, as well as biophysical stress caused by the diseases and surgeries the person has had, or biochemical stresses such as nutritional deficiencies, intestinal flora disorders, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and toxic loads of the body.
As a result, when the sum of these stresses exceeds a certain threshold, behavioral disorders can also occur in the immune system. Among these stresses, especially intestinal flora disorders and excessively permeable intestines that develop as a result of intestinal candida and heavy metals that can accumulate in the connective tissue and acid loads that trigger connective tissue damage are of special importance in terms of Psoriasis.
How is it Treated?
In the classical medical approach, symptoms are tried to be eliminated by using cortisone, moisturizers, retinoid-containing creams for the skin, ultraviolet treatments called PUVA treatment, and in advanced cases, systemic immunosuppressive drugs.
In terms of regulation medicine, a complete inventory of the stresses that form the basis of autoimmune disease should be made. For this purpose, all diseases, accidents, surgeries that the person has had since birth are questioned, and segmental and disruptive area examinations are performed according to the neural therapy perspective. The person’s intestinal flora, candida levels, heavy metal and acid loads, food sensitivities, and mental stresses are determined with bioinformative analyses. A personalized treatment plan is drawn according to these findings.
With neural therapy, problematic body areas (disruptive areas) created by past diseases in the person are treated. The balance of the vegetative nervous system and hormonal balance are restored. Segments belonging to the relevant area are included in the treatment to increase blood flow and reduce inflammation in problematic areas. Skin injections are made around the lesion.
A personalized diet program is given according to food sensitivities and candida load.
An effective chelation program is applied to detoxify the heavy metal and acid loads accumulated in the body.
Psychokinesiology, microsystem acupuncture and homeopathy are applied for mental stress.
With holistic regulation medicine approaches, a more radical and cause-oriented solution can be created, and the patient can achieve a drug-free and quality life.
