Husband has had skin issues as have I…
He started with a spot of psoriasis or eczema in his 20's on the back of his knees. Some doctor gave him a strong corticosteroid cream or ointment and he has been using that stuff ever since. (He's now 68).
He has also had a few new sites crop up: groin, sacral area and palms of his hands. They all tend to break open after the inflammation gets severe and then stay raw til he pulls out the old cortisone and slathers it on…
Trouble is, this miracle cream increases blood sugar, trigycerides, LDL and total cholesterol, and blood pressure. And it can cause Cushing's Syndrome. So he's been using this for almost 50 years.
I suggested he quit and use a sun lamp for the psoriasis/eczema along with magnesium baths and a good skin moisturizer.
He started this treatment 2 months ago, quitting the cortisone cream.
Not sure if it was the keto diet or what, but the constant inflamed posterior knees are totally healed! Not a mark on them!
The other 3 areas still require attention with moisturizer, baths, but I'll bet that within a year most will be gone.
It's true. The sugars/carbs we eat cause inflamation at the cellular level. And in quitting the carbs, we can at least halt the progression of disease, and in some cases, perhaps all, we can reverse the disease process.
I have had psoriasis on elbows and scalp for about 18 years. After 10 months on keto, the psoriasis is gone. Totally. No itch. No scales. No inflammation. Now, I'm waiting to see what happens with my arthritis.
