I speak all the time of being healed and it is so solidified in my renewed brain. LOL... My thin skin is always getting little rips on it if I brush on something. Really cool lately... It heals really quickly now! Maybe Moringa, maybe aloe vera?

Wayne Dyer videos all over the place. He always spoke about thinking and speaking positive. No cure? Hogwash. LOL. Others here, like me, are better too by finding their own way. I say I am better and that's it...Today! Tomorrow isn't here yet. :)

On the subject of diet, I have just looked at the low GI diet (Glycemic Index) and it is very much like the P. Diet in so much as most foods are the same in both groups for much the same reasons. Search GI or GL diet for psoriasis. Recipes too.
