Thanks for your support .. our tradition eat Rice and what.. but I herd any plant food like grains or not good for psoriasis.. can you please let me know any other supplements to have instead of grains..
U said to avoid wheat but most of the food produced by wheat 🌾 I am from india hear wheat and rice is the main food ,could u please tell me ur suggestion to what should I eat instead of grains
srinivasulu and Akshay, I follow Sahil at Headbanger's Kitchen on TH-cam, and he uses cauliflower rice for times when he wants that vibe. He also has several flatbread videos, some of them with flours that are not nuts or grains. Plus, he's closer to you and probably understands better what will satisfy you. I hope that helps.
my body reacts to tabacco , sugar , grains, alcohol ( beer ) tomato.. and much more vegetables especiasly green ones, dust ,tree polls , grass, horses and some more animals , milk and so on.. it is drama! i dont have psoriasis, but eczema.. in a bad way.. i hard to avoid all the stuff i cant take...
I don't eat meat so this will be hard to find things after cutting all this out. Tobacco & alcohol I don't use. Seeded breads I love. I am going to give this a shot.
Dr Berry my wife's friend from child hood lived in Camden TN and she had a lot of terrible doctors who did not care about her. She was in the hospital there and you were her doctor. She said you were the only doctor that showed any care for her. I wanted to personally thank you for your compassion. She passed recently.
ask speciallest about bills 1000 dollars for 3 months supply tousla or something like that friend of mine use the bills and get ridoff most of the spots try that I do not remember exact name the Dr should know
The research shows there are 8 triggers for psoriasis: alcohol, smoking, inflammatory diet, stress, fatty liver disease and excess weight and viral activity. I spent 11 years trying to figure out how to clear/cure/get rid of my psoriasis. Not knowing what the research says on how to effectively treat psoriasis naturally. So I made a video called "How to treat psoriasis according to science - How I cleared my psoriasis". You can click on "align and inspire" (my channel name) to see it. I have been clear (no symptoms) for 4 years now. Love to my psoriasis family.
My dear husband had terrible psoriasis, all of his life, he was hospitalized, he had special baths, soaps, ointment ,heat/ sun treatments. He smoked and also drank beer. Then he got terminal lung cancer, and his psoriasis disappeared. Nothing on his body... now I realise that he gave up smoking and drinking beer when he was so ill. This makes perfect sense. We had read about some of these " triggers" , but he wouldn't/ couldn't give them up until he was so ill. I was totally convinced that his cancer, and this immune system were linked in some manner.
My gramps had the same, altho his psoriasis went away after chemo. So it might be that. Did some google search, turns out there are some sort of chemo therapy for psoriasis, but I'm guessing it's not cheap, nor easily available for us peasants :/
@@cookiecookson9648it’s called methotrexate. It’s relatively inexpensive. Look into Taltz. It’s a biologic. Pamphlet says cost is around $25 a month or so.
My uncle would, drink, smoke and was diabetic eating donuts and cake alot to stress eat, his psoriasis was horrible. Lucky he got cancer and the cancer saved him because it forced him to eat healthy & exercise with better sleep. Fixed pretty much everything even the cancer got fixed with treatment. Unfortunately he passed away because after getting cured he went back to his habbits and got in a worse situation that finally was too much.
@cookiecookson9648 absolutely the chemo...my psoriasis was so bad 4 years ago that they suggested that chemotherapy was the next step for treatment. It's an autoimmune disease like cancer, so is treated with aggressive medication if necessary. Mine went away shortly after attempting suicide....the only changes I made were no alcohol and consumed nothing but chicken and vegetables. I had 85%+ body coverage and went to zero....4 years later, I began to consume alcohol, sugar, gluten and carbs...now I have 30% coverage of psoriasis. I've recently cut out alcohol sugar, and gluten ...and it's reducing by the day
I had severe psoriasis covering both legs below the knee for more than 20 years. Neither had seen sunshine for just as long. I started a strict keto carnivore diet solely for weight loss on July 1st 2021. Today is October 11th 2021 (2 1/2 months) and my psoriasis is completely gone with the exception of a small patch about the size of a dime on my left leg - all with NO medication. Hallelujah!
@@blackpenter4487 It's tough to maintain keytosis. But I have been very strict and have seen good results so far! BTW, I am not taking meds for my psoriasis. Good luck!
@@buddybuddy1988 I have two scrambled eggs with two sausages nearly every day. A year later I have lost 95 lbs, no return of psoriasis, blood pressure 124/72, pre diabetes and IBS GONE! I'm a believer for life!
@@buddybuddy1988 How is your condition, some people react to the whites and not the yolks. My great grandson, I make meatball treats with one yolk butter and a little liver, he loves them. He has strong reactions to the whites. Just bought pork rinds to see what else I can come up with for him, I have gone full carnivore.
I stumbled upon Dr. Berry in early January of 2019 and began following him and eating ketogenicly. Since then my psoriasis and eczema have gone away and I've lost 110 lbs.
Rachel McNicol, Can you please share what has cured you? I never had Psoriasis but one of my niece's and one of my nephew's son also has it so I know about it. Thank you and God bless.
Well as I said it was a by product of wanting to get rid of inflammation and clear out adrenals. I've had it since I was 11yrs old. All over my scalp and smaller patches on my face. I'm 49 now. I went strict keto and took 250,000 iu of serrapeptase on an empty stomach each night and a swig of olive leaf extract in the morning after brush teeth and voila! It was a friend who noticed first that I wasn't scratching all the time. And I suddenly checked all over and it was all gone. I'd been so focused on my other concerns I'd just not noticed. It's been 2 years now I've been completely clear. But if I have carbs or sweets it starts to come back. The serrapetase and olive leaf I do notice keeps it not as inflamed and tolerable but it's the sugars from foods that kicks it off. So I'm pretty strict.
I had psoriasis flare up out of nowhere at 13, was just standard dandruff looking up until a couple years ago when it’s started affecting my face and it looked real bad, then last year I started avoiding anything dairy related and within a couple weeks there was a massive difference
I hardly drink milk if o do its a small glass Now my dad has it bad he has it bad he drinks 2 large glasses milk and wheat toast with peanut butter and honey every day and a of wheat bran Graham cereal with more milk and bananas so he is making his condition worse? He won't quit smoking or slow down I smoke some
OMG yes my psoriasis started on my face , I thought it wss a pimple until ir got worse . I didnt want to go outside at all . Summer of last year I was out here wearing sweaters bc it got bad on my arms and legs
#8 should be BLACK MOLD. I suffered with hardcore psoriasis for 6 years and tried everything my doctors could think of. I almost went insane. Then I started remodeling my bathroom and found a lot of black mold behind my shower walls. I had it all professionally removed and all my symptoms disappeared in a week. Black mold poisoning is only occasionally mentioned in psoriasis literature so even doctors tend to forget/overlook it. If nothing’s working for you, have your home tested for mold. It only takes a day and a couple hundred bucks. I hope this helps somebody.
So I have been psoriasis free for years, and I have noticed when I leave my house for a week or so I get a little bit of black mold on the inside of the toilet. This may be what is causing my psoriasis to come back after these years. Thanks for the tip.
Can support this. When I was young we had mold growing in our home. I I had these patches that itched and felt like needles constantly fucking me up. We got rid of it an poof, no more patches. Fast forward - went to the Marine Corps and my psoriasis NEVER showed its face. When I got out, started a family and got a home it came back. Took a peek behind our shower aaaaannnd you guessed it, mold. Got rid of it and poof, no more patches.. gotta be something here lol
if that is true, this is very special and the world need to know this. Could it really be that simple? And why would psoriasis attack only hands and feets? or other parts specific of the body? weird if true...
@@jessikapiche6097 black mold creates a myotoxcin that damages the liver. There’s a well-documented correlation between psoriasis and various liver conditions such as alcoholic and fatty liver disease. Mine wasn’t located only on my hands, but all over my back, scalp, and legs. This isn’t meant to be the end-all cause of a complex autoimmune condition, just one of many factors that could trigger the problem.
I’m so happy to hear a doctor say that psoriasis is not a skin problem! I’m one of those people who have expensive steroid creams and topicals in my bathroom which has not helped. It’s a gut issue!
1. Tobacco products 2. Sugar 3. Grains (All grains, not just wheat) 4. Alcohol 5. Seed Oils (they are chemically made in factories) 6. Dairy (it’s not the fat, it’s the lactose) 7. Night Shades (plants)
As far as Dairy products.....it is the Casein A1 protein in milk and cheese you need to avoid. Butter is ok. Substitute goat or sheep cheese for cow cheese.
I remember my dad's dermatologist said that psoriasis is a chronic multifactorial skin disease with no cure. The cause is unknown to medical science. He needs to change/try different drugs until he got it right for my dad. Nothing happen after years of trials. I learned some low carb high fat for dad's diet. We surprised the dermatologist after less than a year of dieting. Thanks Dr Ken!
I recently read a compendium of statements on WebMD about dozens of diseases, and every single one said 'doctors don't know what causes xxxxx, but this or that pharmaceutical can help relieve the symptoms of xxxxx." Pharma took over medicine decades ago [they actually started the AMA simply to trick doctors to prescribe their useless & DANGEROUS products.] It's one of the biggest scams running on the planet!
8:45 is why you are here for. Here's the summary. Things to avoid 1. Tobacco and products 2. Sugar and products 3. Grain (all types of grains/ gluten) 4. Alcohol 5. Seed oils (canola, soy bean, sunflower, walnut oil, peanut oil etc. Seed oils with High omega 6 to omega 3 ratio) 6. Dairy and products (lactose, inflammatory inducing dairy proteins) 7. Night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, egg plants etc)
Seeing all these comments about psoriasis makes me feel more comfortable, I was scared being the only one with weird spots on my body, After reading so many comments i feel really good knowing there are people out here who got the same problem !~
Thanks Doc for trying. You probably have a point or few to make . In my opinion: There are simply too many variables in a diet that cannot be controlled to pin down to the ones you mentioned as probable causes. I had Psoriasis from age 45 to around 60. Used Salicylic products by the kilogram. Mysteriously disappeared even after I stopped medication. Never smoked and limited alcohol to wine and beer. But changed my lifestyle to active, attending gym, weight lifting (and still do at the age of 70) and cutting back on alcohol, grains, seed oil and sugar almost 99% and avoiding highly processed foods. And psoriasis is history.
The topical steroid. Helped some small spots get better but made 4 spots get worse My doctor prescribed a 3rd. It does nothing The gold bond helps with the itching Doctor said eat more fruits and vegatables and put valseline on it Which I have not tried and wash 3x a day sounds excessive I don't think washing 3x a day would help I use pine tar soap But going back to other black kind Ivory soap dry skin out Tell me exactly what you did Thanks
Those exact things trigger mine.....I have young kids and the lack of sleep which translates to stress triggers it. Also I love the gym and not getting has also caused me to gain weight which is contributing
Going carnivore over 4 years ago knocked my psoriasis down but not completely out. After summer was over and my exposure to sunlight went down to virtually nil until the following spring was the worst time. This was a yearly cycle I noticed improvement this past fall when I notched up my vitamin D intake to keep my immune system up for cold and flu season. The “duh” light went on over my head - vitamin D deficiency !!! I did a bit of research and it turns out most people are severely vitamin D deficient. I went up ton10,000 IU a day and have seen incredible improvement in my skin. Look into it …
Client of mine with serious psoriasis stumbled on some actual research on Vit D. He tried it himself and I watched his visible patched disappear over 5 or 8 weeks, iirc. I should try it myself. After I completely comply with Dr. Ken's list here.
I have had various outbreaks of psoriasis all my life, and for the last 15 years only mild outbreaks with one spot on my knee that NEVER went away. Since being on keto the last year all the psoriasis has disappeared and not returned. AMAZING!!
Thank you Dr Berry, I’m trying to help my husband with this he has it on both legs and now he’s been complaining about his joints hurting allot more. Unfortunately he does consume pretty much everything on that list… he loves his sweets and I even brought up the other day that maybe the amount of sugar he eats could most likely be hurting him. 🙏🙏🙏 Prayers for him and others who have this condition because I definitely see how uncomfortable this condition is.
Thank you for being a rare, honest doctor! And one who does research beyond medical school! I've suffered with psoriasis for 20+ years and am finally fed up enough to completely change my diet for as long as it takes!
Best video ever Dr. Berry. I am having a super bad problem and I know what you address in this video is going to help me tremendously. Thank you so much for this video and taking the time to help us sort this problem out! I had made an appointment with a specialist and will cancel my appointment!!

I got rid of my psoriasis going keto, stop drinking and completely removing soy from the diet. No medication for over a year now, no symptoms. I remember, when I was a kid, hearing from the doctor that it doesn't have a cure, I just have to deal with the symptoms with medication (usually creams with corticoid hormones added).
@@kppurohit9537 I explained it in the comment. Start a keto diet, don't drink alcohol, and be sure to remove any grains and food made from grains even if it's low carb (like soybean oil). Also sunbathing everyday helps. And just to be sure, eat some fatty fish at least once a week for the omega 3 to help lower inflammation. It takes some time to really feel the difference. For me it took a couple of months. Just be patient and consistent with the diet. Dr Berry has a lot of good videos explaining how to do a keto diet properly. Good luck. I hope it works for you.
A couple of years ago I had some itchy, red places show up over my eyelids and neck. These spots would be activated by sweating. Just drove me crazy! Keto has caused these places to go away. Yaaaay! Thank you Dr. Berry! Your information is changing lives. ❤️
I have had psoriasis for a long time and I have visited many doctors, the ointments are expensive but I don't think my psoriasis has gone away, and doctors generally don't recommend dieting After finding your video I am very happy and grateful and I will start a carnivore diet so that I can get rid of the rash which is very annoying
Thank you doctor. I"ve been dealing with psoriasis since I was 11 years old. I'm 51. Mine is doing really good except for 1 area. But my son oh my his legs, arms scalp. Breaks my heart. He is 26 years old.
I was on vacation overseas and avoided dairy like the plague for 4 weeks and my psoriasis cleared up better than any medication or cream I've ever been on. Food journaling has also revealed problems with nightshade vegetables for me and my psoriatic arthritis. Red meat has been horrible for my digestion, with grains, even the "healthy" ones not far behind. I highly recommend food journaling along with symptom journaling. It's the kind of thing you have to see to believe sometimes.
It's not the read meat that's the issue, it's that your body is screwed up and you cant handle the most easily digestible food on the planet. I eat 3 pounds of meat a day and Ive never felt better
Thank you for all of your wisdom and sharing with us. I just got diagnosed with psoriasis on July 8, 2023 and my doctor wants me to put Humira in my body and every part of me says no to a harmful drug that lowers my immune system. I think you for helping us
Thank you so much for this. My husband suffers from psoriasis, but my daughter is covered head to toe with it. She has had it since she was 2 years old. We improved it greatly a few years back when we went keto, but over the years we have slipped back into the bad habits. I am trying my best to heal our family inside out. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Please do boost your diet with zinc...I suffer eczema...which is not far from psoriasis since they are having both allergic rxnz. The inflammations are due to lack of zinc, and zinc in the diet at good levels, has good antiinflammatory properties. Supplement your diet with pumpkin seeds...it's dense in zinc. Also, ensure u get a diet rich in omega three...foods like Nile perch fish, crabs, oysters and salmon will boost ur omega three levels, which boost skin healing process from inflammation. Another thing, the gut requires good level of lactobacillus bacteria to function well. Ensure you incorporate a supplement of this bacteria. Speaking to you, am seriously incorporating high zinc food in my system and omega three and I am improving. Also, if you see improvement after one month...you can get back to normal and completely have your psoriasis cured, as long as u boost mineral supplement as zinc, omega three in the diet

I am 66 and developed Psoriasis in my early 20's at 1 stage in hospital for 10 days, being covered in potions and having UV treatment, I had 75% body coverage. The thing that reduced my Psoriasis to a massive degree was Lecithin granules, 3 teaspoons a day, plus a change in diet, I still have some patches, 1 on my leg and on my scalp. I do have to add that I believe stress does play a part also, and that a trauma in my life at 23 caused it to erupt.
Doc, thank you so much!!! I've had psoriasis since 13 & PSA. I've been using vitimans d3 & k2 w l-glutamine. Along w proper diet. Been 3 week's now & I'm amazed absolutely amazed @ how much better my psoriasis is!!! I have it on my hands & fingertips BAD. my elbows are clearing up & my hands are looking better.

For the people who say you can't eat anything then, here are some foods that are not restricted based on the video: Chicken, Turkey, Beef, Fish and seafood, eggs, spinach, kale, lettuce, carrots, mushrooms, onions, beets, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, zucchini, cucumber, berries (strawberry, blueberries, raspberry), apples, pear, orange, grapefruit, avocado, olives and olive oils, nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, chia, flax, cashews and pistachios) , beans, lentils and chickpeas and for drinking water, herbal tea or black coffee
@@balazs.joo90 how abt Pumpkin, bottle guard, Ridge gourd. These vegetables we get in India. So could you pls tel exactly what should be present in any vegetables or fruits?

Oil oxidizes with the air in the bottle and when poured onto a cooking surface & heated, it oxidizes within minutes. When you introduce an oxidized substance into the body, you create inflammation. Inflammation low levels of low-grade constant inflammation accumulate and it’s only a matter of time before something “breaks”. When you fry food, this process is accelerated remarkably. Oil heated in a fryolator creates a molecule in a food which is fried called acrylamide which is carcinogenic. • This means NO SALAD DRESSING, COOKING OIL, FRIED FOOD, MAYONAISE • Note: some health food stores carry salad dressing that is oil-free • To cook in skillet, use lard or butter, NO CRISCO
I'm currently going through hell experiencing TSW (Topical Steroid withdrawal). I've been taking live Probiotics for 7 days and my skin condition is nearly gone. Gut health is everything and for some reason NO ONE talks about Probiotics.
I can not thank you enough. I watched this today and it finally made sense why my dog was so broken out. You are so much better than the veterinarian. They put my dog a strong allergy pill for 2 yrs. Then it stopped working. I've been reading , trying several different things. She gets better than worse. Its the oatmeal ,bananas, cheese , etc. Thankyou sooooo much ,now it makes sense and what a difference already.
My former boss's dog had the same problem. Treating the dog's allergies cost a fortune and the allergies continued to get worse. I suspect that my boss and his wife finally euthanized their dog when his own health became so bad and the costs of covering all medical bills was too much. Besides the dog was suffering.
This is so very interesting - thank you Dr. When my son was in elementary school, he had difficulty sitting still and we tried a course of Ritalin with terrible side effects. We then took him to a pediatrician who was also a clinical ecologist and allergy specialist. We learned that our son was terribly allergic to corn, sugar, wheat and some other foods that I don't really remember. We followed a strict diet, but relatives thought it was hogwash. They actually proved that the diet worked, because son was horrible after being fed garbage. As a teenager, the diet went by the wayside and psoriasis appeared with a vengeance. He now has psoriatic arthritis and takes biologics when it gets too terrible. I am going to ask him to watch your videos. He can start by eliminating corn and grains, which were a problem before.
I have had psoriasis since I was 14 years old and so far I have visited many doctors and their recommendations were different which made me confused about this disease.
@ Carole Anne By chance was your son born by C-section? I read years ago, then was confirmed by my functional medicine Dr., that babies who aren't born vaginally have more allergies and autoimmune issues because they do not get the microbes and flora via the mothers birth canal that helps protect the child to keep them healthy and fight disease... It makes complete sense to me!
Thanks for the helpful tips. I lived abroad for thirty some years and the psoriasis never goes away and it got worse during winter time. Now I'm living on a small island (atoll) and my diet was totally different from before. Now my skin was totally clear..no more flare ups. But during the Summer, I always visited the main island and that's when my diet changed again then the psoriasis came back. Thanks for sharing..
I've learned an incredible amount of information by watching about a dozen of Kens videos tonight on a variety of topics. I haven't learned this much in a cumulation of years, but I did, in few hours time now.
NEEDED THIS INFO. SO BAD!! my 12 yr old nephew went away last summer, came back for school by August at least 20 pounds heavier and his skin was horrible! After inquiring found out he had a fun summer of eating a bunch of snack cakes and drinking dark sodas all day every day. Hard to keep him from scratching. Went out and bought all the lotions and soaps to bathe in but in the back of my mind I figured it had more to do with his eating. Thank you!!
I don't smoke or drink alcohol, I only use butter, coconut oil or bacon fat (with eggs only); everything else is my entire diet! My cholesterol is 233, blood sugar is high normal (after a 13-hr fast). Wouldn't all that meat and eggs make cholesterol higher? I need fruit or prune juice to avoid constipation (I don't eat cheese or peanut butter which really constipate me). What can I live on besides the 2-3 quarts of water I drink daily!?! I can't eat very much (never could), so I really have nothing to live for (I'm not suicidal, but it would help if I was! Please help!
No sugar. No alcohol. No grains. No canola oil which means no restaurant fried foods. No dairy. No nightshades (potatoes, peppers, tomatoes). So I can have clear skin but lose all flavor and enjoyment in eating, or enjoy the food I love and look like one of the undead from a D&D book cover. Great job, evolution.

You’re 100% right. I try to avoid most of the things mentioned in the video. But I also eliminated Beef from my diet and my psoriasis significantly decreased
Avoid stress/anxiety, corse soaps, scented lotions, even the water in some places makes my skin irritated... but I’ve noticed it does away when I’m not super stressed out and when I am it comes right back
@@aquariosoul that has always helped me also, Prayer/meditation also works good on me to decompress; what kind of ointment do you use, I have an RX ointment but I just use coconut oil alot of the times which works well; cortisone cream also works good on me
I agree with all of this having had scalp psoriasis for 15 years and it’s extremely controllable with diet, especially gluten and dairy however nobody EVER talks about the emotional component of all of these conditions. Very important to address the emotional root cause as well. I find hypnosis and the tapping method has tremendously helped me in this regard as well as energy healing.
I have PsA. I have been on a biologic infusion for a year. Within two treatments my skin was clear and the pain in my joints was almost completely gone. I began eliminating sugar and carbs about 6 months ago and have lost 26 pounds. I just found this video so I am hoping I will be able to stop these infusions.
@@sagarsoni3302 I wouldn't say I am cured so much as under control. My doctor hasn't given me a time line to stopping the infusions. She said its too soon.
I'm now 55, psoriasis has ruined my life from I was 6 years old when it came out of the blue. I was bullied since then. I have it severely. My whole body covered in inch thick plaques. I have the 5 different types. And severe psoracic arthritis. Stress is a big factor for me. I will try your diet. Thank you. ❤
Sorry folks what do you all recommend? I'm already eating very little because of severe nausea. I have liver failure, I've never drank in my life but I had gallbladder surgery 32 years ago and they scattered stones into the ducts of my liver and pancreas. They never told me I was basically a Guinea pig, and the 1st in Northern Ireland to have keyhole surgery and the consultant was teaching doctors from England. I was only home 2 days when I collapsed, I woke up 6 days later in ICU. I've had several attacks of acute pancreatitis and biliary sepsis where my bile duct blocks and its a very long recovery.

😊 I naturally cleared my lifelong (40 years) psoriasis over ten years ago now, and have been maintaining 100% clearance pretty much ever since. I did it with diet, supplements and stress management.......I used pharmaceuticals for 40 years and either they didn't work, or they made me worse. Edit: Mine is hereditary.
@@Boxingvibe - The Jason Vale Clear Skin Program, and a lot of trial and error from my own efforts. Plus change of diet. Plus supplements: Zinc, Vitamin D3 and Fish Oil.

It's not really that food is medicine... It's just that a lot of food is poison... Once you get rid of the poisons and eat what we evolved to eat, your body can do wonders!! It's not the food making amazing things. It's you, take the credit!! :)
I notice my mood has a huge impact on mine. If I'm feeling down over time it'll definitely flare up. I recommend meditation to improve mood. Getting direct sunlight (or vitamin D as others have mentioned) makes a big difference. I know the point of this video is to address the underlying issues, but I thought I'd add that if you must use something externally, I would recommend trying teatree oil
So far, Dr. Berry has been right on with his advice. I was on the KETO diet for about 4 months, then Carnivore. I love it. Lost 85 pounds in about13 months. Feel great! Health problems disappeared. Thanks Dr. Berry.
Thank you so much because none of the creams seem to work and I will show this to my dermatologist and my family who have all gave me things and sent me places and nothing seems to work I'm definitely going to try this
You are talking about my husband! I got him a book on how to cure psoriasis by John Pagano years ago. Basically said what you've said. My husband is now on biologics for it and it worries me those meds will take a serious toll on him. He doesn't see no sugar is the answer.
I really like your calmness and how you don’t behave extreme about this stuff. Sometimes your videos are a little too long but I welcome the opportunity to learn. A big thank you.
I had severe psoriatic arthritis. I could not walk for several months, from the pain of the arthritis along my left side, from my hip to my foot. I refused to take the biologics. I changed my diet and no longer have symptoms other than maybe a small plaque or two on my scalp. I've learned that I should not eat sugar, wheat, or dairy. Sometimes I still do...and I get joint pain by the next day.
I was told turmeric could cause damage to my liver & kidneys. And with all my many, many, food allergies & sensitivities this diet is useless to me. But doesn't help my psoriasis & 3 different types of arthritis. Nor my c.f. After several decades of dealing with these health issues, l found less or avoidance of most meds of everything is best. Biologics is the only thing that allows me to move even with extreme pain & keep my skin somewhat clear. What else is there to do for seniors?
I've suffered a lot from acute skin problems - eczema, psoriasis, severe allergies. But after I stopped all dairy products I got better. I also notice that consuming tomatoes and aubergines makes my skin very itchy, so have stopped these. I feel much better
So helpful. Thank you! I got more information from this than from seeing dermatologists over the past 15 years of my life. I've been on light therapy, topicals, and biologics. I always asked about nutrition could never get an answer.
There are generally two ways of getting rid of psoriasis which I tried and worked. One is the Keto diet (High fat, moderate protein, and very low carb) and the other one is the intermittent fasting (16, 18, OMAD daily or 36+ hour fast once a week) with little bit of the forbidden things e.g. Some grains, Some dairy (Full fat milk or Yogurt, Goat milk rather that Cow milk) etc. Honestly I found that it is very hard to maintain strict Keto long term, due to the obligations of our social life, but I found intermittent fasting comparatively easy to maintain long term. Whenever I have to eat something (Friend's home or office) that may trigger my psoriasis, I simply stop eating and only drink water after that for at least 18 hours to help my body cope with it. This way I can maintain my social life and also manage my psoriasis.
I do intermittent fasting and do keto on the weekdays but allow myself a little bit of pasta and fries on the weekends and a couple beers. I haven't gotten rid of my psoriasis 100% but about 90% and I'm okay with that. I will not be giving up potatoes, tomatoes, peppers or beer. Might as well just die. lol
Thank you. This was so helpful. I was diagnosed with psoriasis when I was 13. Through the years not one Dermatologist mentioned any of this. Topicals only that barely do much. I have also been researching LED light therapy for home use. Red and infrared are supposed to help with inflammation so it may be worth a try.
If u tried everything and not cured..try Ayurveda in India..go to Kerala and there are treatments there. It's a 30 day program. I am not working there or advertising. I have seen people get cured so I know it can be cured. U have nothing to lose. There are no harmful effects. Either it will work or it wont work..but u dont get any other harm.Yes, it's expensive to buy flight tickets and stay in India. But if you can afford that. It will be worth a try for you.
Same here. My dermatologist even got a bit defensive when I mentioned eating habits and said I could try to change my diet but it wouldn't make a difference. As per light therapy, it does work but, as the Dr said, we need to work on the causes and avoid the triggers. Not the symptoms
Thank you for your help...I have a good friend who is a Doctor...and she has helped me with similar information...sin glutin foods and milk sin lactose...had helped greatly...thank againxxx
I find hard water brings on my psoriasis. When I lived in both Scotland and Ireland I lived in areas with soft water. The whole time I lived there I did not have psoriasis but every time I come home to Canada for a visit my psoriasis flares up and I have actually changed my diet for the better.
My psoriasis started at age 13 after a severe strep infection. I was lean and athletic and have battled it ever since. I believe it is contaminated grains that are the culprit now. Most grains sprayed with glyphosate at harvest time. Roundup is most likely in much of our food supply. Grains have always biblically been an integral component of diets all over the world and without them billions would have perished. Infections can also trigger psoriasis, especially strep infections.
Joseph Davis My younger 14 year old brother had a similar issue. He had a really bad cough for weeks and then the psoriasis appeared on his face. It was misdiagnosed as ringworm for months too. The cream they gave him made the scar on his face much worse. Really heart breaking as 7 months later his body is covered with it, and he STILL hasn’t been officially diagnosed, but I’m determined to help him keep it at bay through diet. It’s though as he’s only 14 and knows nothing about nutrition, but we will succeed eventually.
I got Psoriasis when i got type 2 diabetes 4 years back stress gives me the flare ups too...i am just learning now...i also found benzelkonis chloride in a lot of cleaning and some hygiene products...caused it to flare up even more...i am on week 2 and the flare up... has gone down...will be cutting out sugar and lower my carbs more. Thank you so much for this amazing information ❤️
I've had P for most of my life. It started on my scalp when I was 17, and spread to my body in my early 20's I'm in my 60's now. I found a book on how to "cure" this about 35 years ago and it describes exactly what you state in this video. I was on this "diet" for about 30 years and all it did was control it. I could never get it to "go away"I did not want any medications. But I had a bad flair up about 6 years ago and finally went to a dermatologist and he prescribed enbril. It was like a miracle, these so called diets don't work for everyone. But even my dermatologist said to cut out alcohol, and smoking, I asked him about diet, he said diet has nothing to do with it. But if you can find relief with just diet then go for it. But like I said, diet does not work for everyone.
@@MarvelousB No he's right. For some people there is a limit to what diet can do. It is not caused by diet, so diet might help only a little for some people. There are many different causes of psoriasis.
I used to get psoriasis over my entire body. I had eczema on my fingertips from age 4 to around age 12. I then developed psoriasis to the extent that hospitalization was suggested. My mother had a panel of UV light made instead. At 19, a dermatologist told me I'd probably develop psoriatic arthritis and I promptly obliged. One in patient stay (weeks) and a few years later, Columbia Presbyterian offered an out patient program. I'd had some decent periods of remission and even what I'd call spontaneous remission. At 17, I hitchhiked cross country and by the time I got to CA, No psoriasis. Rock bottom at 22 when my sister taught me visualization. One month and I was in remission. I had a mild recurrence at 29, then nothing for 30 years. My skin was amazing enough for people to comment on it. People who had no idea I'd ever had psoriasis. At 59, I'm processing some intense emotional stuff regarding my mother. I find it interesting that the only way she paid any attention to me was if I had skin issues...I learned about nightshade plants many years ago and I attributed the eczema to dairy (my kids never had cow's milk) and I know my body does not like grains. Basically, I have employed these wonderful suggestions (with the exception of dirty martinis when out!) for years. I strongly believe there's an emotional component here and I'm suggesting all of the above plus meditation. This Doctor is exactly who I'd have been so grateful to know all those years ago!!
I have had Psoriasis for 50 years, and it is flaring at the moment. I have already adjusted my diet a lot as I am in a recovery program for Fibromyalgia and CFS. However, I will get stricter - no sugar, grains, nightshades. Worth a try. I will say that regular skin care with oatmeal baths and moisturising is essential to reduce the itching and support healing.
I started taking Vit D and mine went away!! My vit D level was low!! I imagine many ppl have low Vit D level! Doctors complicate things too much!! Lets not go and ruin everything by thinking too much ;-)
For how long did you take Vit D? What was the dosages? I have psoriasis and six years ago my doctor said I had low Vit D. I didn't really do anything except just get some sunlight every now and then but I think my Vit D might still be low.
Thank you for the information Dr Berry,, the question regarding smoking and tobacco products, I do not smoke tobacco but I do smoke herbs if you know what I mean. My question is it just as harmful to my body as tobacco? I'm very curious what you have to say about this, thank you for your time and your knowledge. Thank you.
Psoriasis of the nails is really bad as well, very hard to hide. I drink bone broth I make every week. I take L-Glutamine in large doses for the gut. Alcohol is the big one, you need a healthy liver and gut to help Psoriasis. Exercise is also a good idea.
Hey Dr. B....great advise...my whole family keto/carnivore for a little less than a year...started for my daughter, she takes seizures and prefer to control it by diet...we have all lost stubborn weight and my daughter's ezema's is gone...by the way, you're looking great, younger everyday!
I stoped alcohol cigarettes gluten grains pasta bread nightshades coffee black tea ☕️ booze chocolate,black and milk ,my skin is clear ,I’ve been doing this for a very long time ,thanks Ken
Thank you very much, I applied it strictly for a week and it really works. Unfortunately I wanted to be more flexible by introducing some alcohol and bread, and the psoriasis came back strongly, coincidentally on the days I drank wine (I haven't noticed this rebound effect with beer and bread). What about legumes? Are they inflammatory?
I'd suffered with widespread Psoriasis Vulgaris for 40 years. Last year I stumbled upon research on B12/B6/Folic Acid around the time I had just began Keto - three months later I was 99% clear (and 3st lighter!) from either the supplements or in combination of low carbs. I hope this can help someone else. I am not a medical practitioner, do not take this as medical advice and do your own research - everyone is different.
I think I must share my experience . I agree about the gut health being the priority and of utmost concern when it comes to abnormal immune response but the biggest thing I've learnt from my experience is one rule doesn't apply to all. We have to figure the food out ourselves, what benefits our gut health and what ruins it . I'm completely okay with dairy and grains but meat is tough for me to digest and makes me feel extremely bloated after meals . So my point is that one rule doesn't apply to all , everyone's body is different . Also , it's worth finding out about from the older generations in your family about their diet and lifestyle even though the food that they ate was completely different and definitely cleaner . But still worth finding out
I hated most meat my whole life until a few years ago I started eating it everyday. Now I crave it and better news, my stomach aches and other things that went with my autoimmune issues have gone down about 90%🎉
I went on the Keto diet for 5 months and unfortunately, I'm sad to say it didn't change my psoriasis. No sugar, carbs, gluten or dairy and 18:6 intermittent fasting every day. I'm going to try it again and hopefully have some better results this time.
eat only Free range grass fed meats and chickens and eggs, everything clean .Take digestive enzymes with every meal and L glutamine with meals and probiotics. need to heal your gut lining, Your liver needs help too . Get a liver tonic from a homeopath . If your liver is toxic and fatty you wont clear up .
@@sandyseale1 the fatty liver will heal by the keto n IF Just takes long time 6 mos to heal liver than functioning liver can start healing the body/psoriasis

Thanks for your support .. our tradition eat Rice and what.. but I herd any plant food like grains or not good for psoriasis.. can you please let me know any other supplements to have instead of grains..
U said to avoid wheat but most of the food produced by wheat 🌾 I am from india hear wheat and rice is the main food ,could u please tell me ur suggestion to what should I eat instead of grains
srinivasulu and Akshay, I follow Sahil at Headbanger's Kitchen on TH-cam, and he uses cauliflower rice for times when he wants that vibe.

sorry for your lost I did not read the whole comment sorry
Respect
My son's doctor scoffed at me and told me to buy Head and Shoulders.
The research shows there are 8 triggers for psoriasis: alcohol, smoking, inflammatory diet, stress, fatty liver disease and excess weight and viral activity. I spent 11 years trying to figure out how to clear/cure/get rid of my psoriasis. Not knowing what the research says on how to effectively treat psoriasis naturally. So I made a video called "How to treat psoriasis according to science - How I cleared my psoriasis". You can click on "align and inspire" (my channel name) to see it. I have been clear (no symptoms) for 4 years now. Love to my psoriasis family.
My dear husband had terrible psoriasis, all of his life, he was hospitalized, he had special baths, soaps, ointment ,heat/ sun treatments. He smoked and also drank beer. Then he got terminal lung cancer, and his psoriasis disappeared. Nothing on his body... now I realise that he gave up smoking and drinking beer when he was so ill. This makes perfect sense. We had read about some of these " triggers" , but he wouldn't/ couldn't give them up until he was so ill. I was totally convinced that his cancer, and this immune system were linked in some manner.
My gramps had the same, altho his psoriasis went away after chemo. So it might be that. Did some google search, turns out there are some sort of chemo therapy for psoriasis, but I'm guessing it's not cheap, nor easily available for us peasants :/
@@cookiecookson9648it’s called methotrexate. It’s relatively inexpensive. Look into Taltz. It’s a biologic. Pamphlet says cost is around $25 a month or so.
My uncle would, drink, smoke and was diabetic eating donuts and cake alot to stress eat, his psoriasis was horrible.
Lucky he got cancer and the cancer saved him because it forced him to eat healthy & exercise with better sleep. Fixed pretty much everything even the cancer got fixed with treatment.
Unfortunately he passed away because after getting cured he went back to his habbits and got in a worse situation that finally was too much.
@cookiecookson9648 absolutely the chemo...my psoriasis was so bad 4 years ago that they suggested that chemotherapy was the next step for treatment. It's an autoimmune disease like cancer, so is treated with aggressive medication if necessary. Mine went away shortly after attempting suicide....the only changes I made were no alcohol and consumed nothing but chicken and vegetables. I had 85%+ body coverage and went to zero....4 years later, I began to consume alcohol, sugar, gluten and carbs...now I have 30% coverage of psoriasis. I've recently cut out alcohol sugar, and gluten ...and it's reducing by the day
I had severe psoriasis covering both legs below the knee for more than 20 years. Neither had seen sunshine for just as long. I started a strict keto carnivore diet solely for weight loss on July 1st 2021. Today is October 11th 2021 (2 1/2 months) and my psoriasis is completely gone with the exception of a small patch about the size of a dime on my left leg - all with NO medication. Hallelujah!
My whole body is covered with it, After reading so many comments about a keto diet i will def try it
@@blackpenter4487 It's tough to maintain keytosis. But I have been very strict and have seen good results so far! BTW, I am not taking meds for my psoriasis. Good luck!

Great job, Don. I so glad to hear it.
I got rid of my psoriasis by accident. Went off all sugar and carbs for thyroid and psoriasis went away. Took about 3 weeks.
Excellent! Please Share your story with all in need!
Rachel McNicol,
Can you please share what has cured you? I never had Psoriasis but one of my niece's and one of my nephew's son also has it so I know about it. Thank you and God bless.
My psoriasis is only back of head, Ive had it only 2 years, after healing thyroid, heart and other problems, so not sure why I got it now
I believe its caused by Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity....NCGS
SO THAT MAKES SINCE ... IT CLEARED UP WHEN YOU WERENT EATING GLUTEN
Well as I said it was a by product of wanting to get rid of inflammation and clear out adrenals. I've had it since I was 11yrs old. All over my scalp and smaller patches on my face. I'm 49 now. I went strict keto and took 250,000 iu of serrapeptase on an empty stomach each night and a swig of olive leaf extract in the morning after brush teeth and voila! It was a friend who noticed first that I wasn't scratching all the time. And I suddenly checked all over and it was all gone. I'd been so focused on my other concerns I'd just not noticed. It's been 2 years now I've been completely clear. But if I have carbs or sweets it starts to come back. The serrapetase and olive leaf I do notice keeps it not as inflamed and tolerable but it's the sugars from foods that kicks it off. So I'm pretty strict.
I had psoriasis flare up out of nowhere at 13, was just standard dandruff looking up until a couple years ago when it’s started affecting my face and it looked real bad, then last year I started avoiding anything dairy related and within a couple weeks there was a massive difference
I hardly drink milk if o do its a small glass
Now my dad has it bad he has it bad he drinks 2 large glasses milk and wheat toast with peanut butter and honey every day and a of wheat bran Graham cereal with more milk and bananas so he is making his condition worse?
He won't quit smoking or slow down
I smoke some
Tell it to your doctor!
OMG yes my psoriasis started on my face , I thought it wss a pimple until ir got worse . I didnt want to go outside at all . Summer of last year I was out here wearing sweaters bc it got bad on my arms and legs
I’ve been telling my husband all of this for YEARS!! Thank you…..cause now there is someone else telling him the same thing!
#8 should be BLACK MOLD. I suffered with hardcore psoriasis for 6 years and tried everything my doctors could think of. I almost went insane. Then I started remodeling my bathroom and found a lot of black mold behind my shower walls. I had it all professionally removed and all my symptoms disappeared in a week. Black mold poisoning is only occasionally mentioned in psoriasis literature so even doctors tend to forget/overlook it. If nothing’s working for you, have your home tested for mold. It only takes a day and a couple hundred bucks. I hope this helps somebody.
So I have been psoriasis free for years, and I have noticed when I leave my house for a week or so I get a little bit of black mold on the inside of the toilet. This may be what is causing my psoriasis to come back after these years. Thanks for the tip.
Can support this. When I was young we had mold growing in our home. I I had these patches that itched and felt like needles constantly fucking me up. We got rid of it an poof, no more patches. Fast forward - went to the Marine Corps and my psoriasis NEVER showed its face. When I got out, started a family and got a home it came back. Took a peek behind our shower aaaaannnd you guessed it, mold. Got rid of it and poof, no more patches.. gotta be something here lol
Hello, I suffer from psoriasis, what should I do?!!!
if that is true, this is very special and the world need to know this. Could it really be that simple? And why would psoriasis attack only hands and feets? or other parts specific of the body? weird if true...
@@jessikapiche6097 black mold creates a myotoxcin that damages the liver. There’s a well-documented correlation between psoriasis and various liver conditions such as alcoholic and fatty liver disease. Mine wasn’t located only on my hands, but all over my back, scalp, and legs. This isn’t meant to be the end-all cause of a complex autoimmune condition, just one of many factors that could trigger the problem.

I’m so happy to hear a doctor say that psoriasis is not a skin problem! I’m one of those people who have expensive steroid creams and topicals in my bathroom which has not helped. It’s a gut issue!
Yep... Immune system and gut health..I reckon leaky gut. Have to use a combination of stuff for internal and external to help.
I’m suffering with it bad at the minute and it isn’t a skin problem, its an immune problem…
@@jordankenyon7661 hope you get some relief soon.
1. Tobacco products
2. Sugar
3. Grains (All grains, not just wheat)
4. Alcohol
5. Seed Oils (they are chemically made in factories)
6. Dairy (it’s not the fat, it’s the lactose)
7. Night Shades (plants)
As far as Dairy products.....it is the Casein A1 protein in milk and cheese you need to avoid. Butter is ok. Substitute goat or sheep cheese for cow cheese.
Thank you!!!
Raw milk is good tho
Basically you can’t eat anything!
@@salma02109 I seriously want to know what is remaining to eat then?
I remember my dad's dermatologist said that psoriasis is a chronic multifactorial skin disease with no cure. The cause is unknown to medical science. He needs to change/try different drugs until he got it right for my dad. Nothing happen after years of trials.
I learned some low carb high fat for dad's diet. We surprised the dermatologist after less than a year of dieting.
Thanks Dr Ken!
Most doctors in the US do not believe in diet :/ that’s shame
Do you know if your father ever had anything like Strep Throat before?
I recently read a compendium of statements on WebMD about dozens of diseases, and every single one said 'doctors don't know what causes xxxxx, but this or that pharmaceutical can help relieve the symptoms of xxxxx." Pharma took over medicine decades ago [they actually started the AMA simply to trick doctors to prescribe their useless & DANGEROUS products.] It's one of the biggest scams running on the planet!

I don’t have psoriasis but THIS information feels like it will also help or possibly eliminate IBS or gut issues as well. Thanks 🙏🏽 🌞

Here's the summary.
Things to avoid
1. Tobacco and products
2. Sugar and products
3. Grain (all types of grains/ gluten)
4. Alcohol
5. Seed oils (canola, soy bean, sunflower, walnut oil, peanut oil etc. Seed oils with High omega 6 to omega 3 ratio)
6. Dairy and products (lactose, inflammatory inducing dairy proteins)
7. Night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, egg plants etc)

I have had psoriasis on and off for 47 years. Still treating and trying.
Thanks Doc for trying. You probably have a point or few to make . In my opinion: There are simply too many variables in a diet that cannot be controlled to pin down to the ones you mentioned as probable causes. I had Psoriasis from age 45 to around 60. Used Salicylic products by the kilogram. Mysteriously disappeared even after I stopped medication. Never smoked and limited alcohol to wine and beer. But changed my lifestyle to active, attending gym, weight lifting (and still do at the age of 70) and cutting back on alcohol, grains, seed oil and sugar almost 99% and avoiding highly processed foods. And psoriasis is history.
What is seed oil
@@sherlyrajan1235 Canola, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil.... He tells that in the video.
The topical steroid. Helped some small spots get better but made 4 spots get worse
My doctor prescribed a 3rd. It does nothing

Doctor said eat more fruits and vegatables and put valseline on it

Going carnivore over 4 years ago knocked my psoriasis down but not completely out. After summer was over and my exposure to sunlight went down to virtually nil until the following spring was the worst time. This was a yearly cycle I noticed improvement this past fall when I notched up my vitamin D intake to keep my immune system up for cold and flu season. The “duh” light went on over my head - vitamin D deficiency !!! I did a bit of research and it turns out most people are severely vitamin D deficient. I went up ton10,000 IU a day and have seen incredible improvement in my skin. Look into it …
It’s a fat soluble vitamin you need animal fats to help. Tallow, Butter, lard etc all high in Vit D
Client of mine with serious psoriasis stumbled on some actual research on Vit D. He tried it himself and I watched his visible patched disappear over 5 or 8 weeks, iirc. I should try it myself. After I completely comply with Dr. Ken's list here.
I have had various outbreaks of psoriasis all my life, and for the last 15 years only mild outbreaks with one spot on my knee that NEVER went away. Since being on keto the last year all the psoriasis has disappeared and not returned. AMAZING!!

I got rid of my psoriasis going keto, stop drinking and completely removing soy from the diet. No medication for over a year now, no symptoms. I remember, when I was a kid, hearing from the doctor that it doesn't have a cure, I just have to deal with the symptoms with medication (usually creams with corticoid hormones added).
But how....plzzz help me...sm prblmm????
@@kppurohit9537 I explained it in the comment. Start a keto diet, don't drink alcohol, and be sure to remove any grains and food made from grains even if it's low carb (like soybean oil). Also sunbathing everyday helps. And just to be sure, eat some fatty fish at least once a week for the omega 3 to help lower inflammation. It takes some time to really feel the difference. For me it took a couple of months. Just be patient and consistent with the diet. Dr Berry has a lot of good videos explaining how to do a keto diet properly.
Good luck. I hope it works for you.
Hy
A couple of years ago I had some itchy, red places show up over my eyelids and neck. These spots would be activated by sweating. Just drove me crazy! Keto has caused these places to go away. Yaaaay! Thank you Dr. Berry! Your information is changing lives. ❤️
I have had psoriasis for a long time and I have visited many doctors, the ointments are expensive but I don't think my psoriasis has gone away, and doctors generally don't recommend dieting After finding your video I am very happy and grateful and I will start a carnivore diet so that I can get rid of the rash which is very annoying
Hows it going, any update? Did you stick to the carnivore diet and has your psoriasis improved/cleared up? Thanks!
Just want to say thank you for taking the time to give me the info I so desperately needed.
Thank you doctor. I"ve been dealing with psoriasis since I was 11 years old. I'm 51. Mine is doing really good except for 1 area. But my son oh my his legs, arms scalp. Breaks my heart. He is 26 years old.
I pray for your son 🙏
I was on vacation overseas and avoided dairy like the plague for 4 weeks and my psoriasis cleared up better than any medication or cream I've ever been on. Food journaling has also revealed problems with nightshade vegetables for me and my psoriatic arthritis. Red meat has been horrible for my digestion, with grains, even the "healthy" ones not far behind. I highly recommend food journaling along with symptom journaling. It's the kind of thing you have to see to believe sometimes.
How are you doing now? Is your psoriatic arthritis very painful ? How it's affecting your life?
It's not the read meat that's the issue, it's that your body is screwed up and you cant handle the most easily digestible food on the planet. I eat 3 pounds of meat a day and Ive never felt better
I used safflower oil for about a week, I got such a flare up. It was awful.

The inflammations are due to lack of zinc, and zinc in the diet at good levels, has good antiinflammatory properties.
Supplement your diet with pumpkin seeds...it's dense in zinc.
Also, ensure u get a diet rich in omega three...foods like Nile perch fish, crabs, oysters and salmon will boost ur omega three levels, which boost skin healing process from inflammation.
Another thing, the gut requires good level of lactobacillus bacteria to function well.
Ensure you incorporate a supplement of this bacteria.
Speaking to you, am seriously incorporating high zinc food in my system and omega three and I am improving.
Also, if you see improvement after one month...you can get back to normal and completely have your psoriasis cured, as long as u boost mineral supplement as zinc, omega three in the diet

I am 66 and developed Psoriasis in my early 20's at 1 stage in hospital for 10 days, being covered in potions and having UV treatment, I had 75% body coverage. The thing that reduced my Psoriasis to a massive degree was Lecithin granules, 3 teaspoons a day, plus a change in diet, I still have some patches, 1 on my leg and on my scalp. I do have to add that I believe stress does play a part also, and that a trauma in my life at 23 caused it to erupt.
Also trauma at 23 for me wow
trauma as in mental trauma ??
Doc, thank you so much!!! I've had psoriasis since 13 & PSA. I've been using vitimans d3 & k2 w l-glutamine. Along w proper diet.

Oil oxidizes with the air in the bottle and when poured onto a cooking surface & heated, it oxidizes within minutes. When you introduce an oxidized substance into the body, you create inflammation. Inflammation low levels of low-grade constant inflammation accumulate and it’s only a matter of time before something “breaks”. When you fry food, this process is accelerated remarkably. Oil heated in a fryolator creates a molecule in a food which is fried called acrylamide which is carcinogenic.

I can not thank you enough. I watched this today and it finally made sense why my dog was so broken out. You are so much better than the veterinarian. They put my dog a strong allergy pill for 2 yrs. Then it stopped working. I've been reading , trying several different things. She gets better than worse. Its the oatmeal ,bananas, cheese , etc. Thankyou sooooo much ,now it makes sense and what a difference already.
My former boss's dog had the same problem. Treating the dog's allergies cost a fortune and the allergies continued to get worse. I suspect that my boss and his wife finally euthanized their dog when his own health became so bad and the costs of covering all medical bills was too much. Besides the dog was suffering.
This is so very interesting - thank you Dr. When my son was in elementary school, he had difficulty sitting still and we tried a course of Ritalin with terrible side effects. We then took him to a pediatrician who was also a clinical ecologist and allergy specialist. We learned that our son was terribly allergic to corn, sugar, wheat and some other foods that I don't really remember. We followed a strict diet, but relatives thought it was hogwash. They actually proved that the diet worked, because son was horrible after being fed garbage. As a teenager, the diet went by the wayside and psoriasis appeared with a vengeance. He now has psoriatic arthritis and takes biologics when it gets too terrible. I am going to ask him to watch your videos. He can start by eliminating corn and grains, which were a problem before.
As someone suffering this disease I’m sure he will take this advice in a heart beat
I have had psoriasis since I was 14 years old and so far I have visited many doctors and their recommendations were different which made me confused about this disease.
@ Carole Anne By chance was your son born by C-section? I read years ago, then was confirmed by my functional medicine Dr., that babies who aren't born vaginally have more allergies and autoimmune issues because they do not get the microbes and flora via the mothers birth canal that helps protect the child to keep them healthy and fight disease... It makes complete sense to me!
Ritalin is a amphetamine. A drug
I quit eating corn decades ago when a friend raised a steer for food and they fattened it up before slaughter by feeding it corn!
Thanks for the helpful tips. I lived abroad for thirty some years and the psoriasis never goes away and it got worse during winter time. Now I'm living on a small island (atoll) and my diet was totally different from before. Now my skin was totally clear..no more flare ups. But during the Summer, I always visited the main island and that's when my diet changed again then the psoriasis came back. Thanks for sharing..

NEEDED THIS INFO. SO BAD!! my 12 yr old nephew went away last summer, came back for school by August at least 20 pounds heavier and his skin was horrible! After inquiring found out he had a fun summer of eating a bunch of snack cakes and drinking dark sodas all day every day. Hard to keep him from scratching. Went out and bought all the lotions and soaps to bathe in but in the back of my mind I figured it had more to do with his eating. Thank you!!
7. Tobacco 6. Sugar in all forms. 5. All grains and seeds - Oats rice corn millet quinoa. 4. Alcohol especially beer and wine 3. Seed oils - canola, corn, soybean, sunflower, walnut 2. Dairy. 1. Nightshades - potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, pepper, tomatillo
Isn't it just white potatoes or are sweet potatoes also in the nightshade family?
Doc Ken said to use butter, but not dairy. How does that work?
I don't smoke or drink alcohol, I only use butter, coconut oil or bacon fat (with eggs only); everything else is my entire diet! My cholesterol is 233, blood sugar is high normal (after a 13-hr fast). Wouldn't all that meat and eggs make cholesterol higher? I need fruit or prune juice to avoid constipation (I don't eat cheese or peanut butter which really constipate me). What can I live on besides the 2-3 quarts of water I drink daily!?! I can't eat very much (never could), so I really have nothing to live for (I'm not suicidal, but it would help if I was! Please help!
No sugar. No alcohol. No grains. No canola oil which means no restaurant fried foods. No dairy. No nightshades (potatoes, peppers, tomatoes). So I can have clear skin but lose all flavor and enjoyment in eating, or enjoy the food I love and look like one of the undead from a D&D book cover. Great job, evolution.

Dr. Berry God bless you. You save lives!
This was very helpful. You helped me discover something that I couldn’t figure out what was going on until today.
Well the bottom line for me is I got to stop eating and drinking and waste away perhaps die in the process and it will cure my psoriasis.
I notice my mood has a huge impact on mine. If I'm feeling down over time it'll definitely flare up. I recommend meditation to improve mood. Getting direct sunlight (or vitamin D as others have mentioned) makes a big difference.

You are talking about my husband! I got him a book on how to cure psoriasis by John Pagano years ago. Basically said what you've said. My husband is now on biologics for it and it worries me those meds will take a serious toll on him. He doesn't see no sugar is the answer.
Pagano is the total opposite of keto. He recommends lower fat, vegetarian/low meat. This is why I find it all so confusing.
@@alyssashowers8014 exactly
I really like your calmness and how you don’t behave extreme about this stuff. Sometimes your videos are a little too long but I welcome the opportunity to learn. A big thank you.
I had severe psoriatic arthritis. I could not walk for several months, from the pain of the arthritis along my left side, from my hip to my foot. I refused to take the biologics. I changed my diet and no longer have symptoms other than maybe a small plaque or two on my scalp. I've learned that I should not eat sugar, wheat, or dairy. Sometimes I still do...and I get joint pain by the next day.
Try making golden paste. Turmeric 👍🏻
I was told turmeric could cause damage to my liver & kidneys. And with all my many, many, food allergies & sensitivities this diet is useless to me. But doesn't help my psoriasis & 3 different types of arthritis. Nor my c.f.
After several decades of dealing with these health issues, l found less or avoidance of most meds of everything is best. Biologics is the only thing that allows me to move even with extreme pain & keep my skin somewhat clear. What else is there to do for seniors?
I've suffered a lot from acute skin problems - eczema, psoriasis, severe allergies. But after I stopped all dairy products I got better. I also notice that consuming tomatoes and aubergines makes my skin very itchy, so have stopped these. I feel much better
So helpful. Thank you! I got more information from this than from seeing dermatologists over the past 15 years of my life. I've been on light therapy, topicals, and biologics. I always asked about nutrition could never get an answer.
How are you now?
There are generally two ways of getting rid of psoriasis which I tried and worked. One is the Keto diet (High fat, moderate protein, and very low carb) and the other one is the intermittent fasting (16, 18, OMAD daily or 36+ hour fast once a week) with little bit of the forbidden things e.g. Some grains, Some dairy (Full fat milk or Yogurt, Goat milk rather that Cow milk) etc. Honestly I found that it is very hard to maintain strict Keto long term, due to the obligations of our social life, but I found intermittent fasting comparatively easy to maintain long term. Whenever I have to eat something (Friend's home or office) that may trigger my psoriasis, I simply stop eating and only drink water after that for at least 18 hours to help my body cope with it. This way I can maintain my social life and also manage my psoriasis.
May I ask after how long of Keto / IF you have seen the effect of your symptoms?
Dairy and meat if u can't process
I do intermittent fasting and do keto on the weekdays but allow myself a little bit of pasta and fries on the weekends and a couple beers. I haven't gotten rid of my psoriasis 100% but about 90% and I'm okay with that. I will not be giving up potatoes, tomatoes, peppers or beer. Might as well just die. lol
Hey...can u pls explain in detail...what did u eat exactly to get rid of psoriasis and how much time it took to clear up? Pls reply

I was diagnosed with psoriasis when I was 13. Through the years not one Dermatologist mentioned any of this. Topicals only that barely do much. I have also been researching LED light therapy for home use. Red and infrared are supposed to help with inflammation so it may be worth a try.
If u tried everything and not cured..try Ayurveda in India..go to Kerala and there are treatments there. It's a 30 day program. I am not working there or advertising. I have seen people get cured so I know it can be cured. U have nothing to lose. There are no harmful effects. Either it will work or it wont work..but u dont get any other harm.Yes, it's expensive to buy flight tickets and stay in India. But if you can afford that. It will be worth a try for you.
Same here. My dermatologist even got a bit defensive when I mentioned eating habits and said I could try to change my diet but it wouldn't make a difference. As per light therapy, it does work but, as the Dr said, we need to work on the causes and avoid the triggers. Not the symptoms
Thank you for your help...I have a good friend who is a Doctor...and she has helped me with similar information...sin glutin foods and milk sin lactose...had helped greatly...thank againxxx
I find hard water brings on my psoriasis. When I lived in both Scotland and Ireland I lived in areas with soft water. The whole time I lived there I did not have psoriasis but every time I come home to Canada for a visit my psoriasis flares up and I have actually changed my diet for the better.
I’m convinced it’s the water in Canada as well and also winter makes everything dry and 10x worse for my scalp!
My psoriasis started at age 13 after a severe strep infection. I was lean and athletic and have battled it ever since. I believe it is contaminated grains that are the culprit now. Most grains sprayed with glyphosate at harvest time. Roundup is most likely in much of our food supply. Grains have always biblically been an integral component of diets all over the world and without them billions would have perished. Infections can also trigger psoriasis, especially strep infections.
Joseph Davis My younger 14 year old brother had a similar issue. He had a really bad cough for weeks and then the psoriasis appeared on his face. It was misdiagnosed as ringworm for months too. The cream they gave him made the scar on his face much worse. Really heart breaking as 7 months later his body is covered with it, and he STILL hasn’t been officially diagnosed, but I’m determined to help him keep it at bay through diet. It’s though as he’s only 14 and knows nothing about nutrition, but we will succeed eventually.
@@Geefiasco how are yout Brother doing now?

I've had P for most of my life. It started on my scalp when I was 17, and spread to my body in my early 20's
I'm in my 60's now. I found a book on how to "cure" this about 35 years ago and it describes exactly what you state in this video. I was on this "diet" for about 30 years and all it did was control it. I could never get it to "go away"I did not want any medications. But I had a bad flair up about 6 years ago and finally went to a dermatologist and he prescribed enbril. It was like a miracle, these so called diets don't work for everyone. But even my dermatologist said to cut out alcohol, and smoking, I asked him about diet, he said diet has nothing to do with it. But if you can find relief with just diet then go for it. But like I said, diet does not work for everyone.
Enbrel Injection??
I would get a new doctor if he said "diet has nothing to do with it". That's just ridiculous.
@@MarvelousB No he's right. For some people there is a limit to what diet can do. It is not caused by diet, so diet might help only a little for some people. There are many different causes of psoriasis.
@@gregfraser2763 I stand corrected.
Well you're diet doesn't help much if it evolves tobacco and alcohol, which are the worse
I used to get psoriasis over my entire body. I had eczema on my fingertips from age 4 to around age 12. I then developed psoriasis to the extent that hospitalization was suggested. My mother had a panel of UV light made instead. At 19, a dermatologist told me I'd probably develop psoriatic arthritis and I promptly obliged. One in patient stay (weeks) and a few years later, Columbia Presbyterian offered an out patient program. I'd had some decent periods of remission and even what I'd call spontaneous remission. At 17, I hitchhiked cross country and by the time I got to CA, No psoriasis. Rock bottom at 22 when my sister taught me visualization. One month and I was in remission. I had a mild recurrence at 29, then nothing for 30 years. My skin was amazing enough for people to comment on it. People who had no idea I'd ever had psoriasis. At 59, I'm processing some intense emotional stuff regarding my mother. I find it interesting that the only way she paid any attention to me was if I had skin issues...I learned about nightshade plants many years ago and I attributed the eczema to dairy (my kids never had cow's milk) and I know my body does not like grains. Basically, I have employed these wonderful suggestions (with the exception of dirty martinis when out!) for years. I strongly believe there's an emotional component here and I'm suggesting all of the above plus meditation. This Doctor is exactly who I'd have been so grateful to know all those years ago!!
That’s a great comeback- knowledge is power ☝️ to change!!
Stress can exasperate it for sure. I have found the diet changes and intermediate fasting has helped mine. I don’t eat wheat, dairy and sugar.
I have had Psoriasis for 50 years, and it is flaring at the moment. I have already adjusted my diet a lot as I am in a recovery program for Fibromyalgia and CFS. However, I will get stricter - no sugar, grains, nightshades. Worth a try. I will say that regular skin care with oatmeal baths and moisturising is essential to reduce the itching and support healing.

I'd suffered with widespread Psoriasis Vulgaris for 40 years. Last year I stumbled upon research on B12/B6/Folic Acid around the time I had just began Keto - three months later I was 99% clear (and 3st lighter!) from either the supplements or in combination of low carbs. I hope this can help someone else. I am not a medical practitioner, do not take this as medical advice and do your own research - everyone is different.
Thank you so much
I appreciate your help
I think I must share my experience . I agree about the gut health being the priority and of utmost concern when it comes to abnormal immune response but the biggest thing I've learnt from my experience is one rule doesn't apply to all. We have to figure the food out ourselves, what benefits our gut health and what ruins it . I'm completely okay with dairy and grains but meat is tough for me to digest and makes me feel extremely bloated after meals . So my point is that one rule doesn't apply to all , everyone's body is different . Also , it's worth finding out about from the older generations in your family about their diet and lifestyle even though the food that they ate was completely different and definitely cleaner . But still worth finding out

I went on the Keto diet for 5 months and unfortunately, I'm sad to say it didn't change my psoriasis. No sugar, carbs, gluten or dairy and 18:6 intermittent fasting every day. I'm going to try it again and hopefully have some better results this time.
