My wish for you, in the use of the information gained here, is that you will apply it in a smart and safe manner in order to enhance your life and not harm it! Not to be used in place of your judgment but in  addition to...

QUESTION:
 
Hi Lena,
 my name is Rose and I have psoriasis it use to come and go for a while. Anymore I want to itch it a lot. I feel it is always ready to break out. I been sunning and use Dovonex ointment. What do you think?
 
Thanks Rose S.
 
 
ANSWER
 
Thank You for your question Rose!

You don't say what area(s) of your body is/are affected with psoriasis, but it really isn't all that important? Sunning is a good thing because you do get rays that are beneficial to the immune system. Creams will not solve the problem EVER!

One of the most common causes of psoriasis and/or eczema these days is bathing, and/or drinking and eating foods cooked in chlorinated water. Bathing being the biggest culprit. Chlorine is creating severe toxicity in many people. Some, not so severe, psoriasis problems will disappear with putting a two or three phase water filter in the kitchen and on the shower, a whole house filter is really something that should be considered a necessity if you have water coming into your home from any water system other than your own well. For what our household uses check out http://www.envirodocs.com/water_purification_filtration_units.htm

If that doesn't solve the problem then you will need to detox and balance your immune system!  Severe psoriasis is usually a sign of toxins inside your body and the immune system gone wild (autoimmune disease). It shows up in the skin, because it is the largest and only visible organ of your body. Therefore, in the case of serious psoriatic skin problems, treating from outside with cream is insufficient. Creams will help short term but has toxins that contribute to the problem in the long run... Begin by detoxifying your body, which expels the toxins from inside. Then work at balancing the immune system that hopefully will give you a lifetime of relief from psoriasis.

Our suggestion for detoxing and balancing the system that has worked for others:

1) Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid Minerals, will detox while helping to balance every organ in your body. This should be used in two ways. Internally 1/2 teaspoon in 8 ounces of juice morning and noon. Secondly in your bath (1/4 cup Life Transfusion Ionic liquid minerals & 1/2 cup Tea Tree Oil in a tub of warm water) soak for 10 to 15 minutes two or three times a week until psoriasis hasn't reoccurred for at least a month or so.

2) Immune Support Master Formula and Antioxidant Free-radical formulas that will complete the immune system balancing.  This is usually a three to six month protocol in severe psoriasis/eczema...Less severe can sometimes get away with a one month treatment... If your immune system is chronically out of balance it could mean a lifetime of this...

Hope this helps to give you some alternatives but mostly will give you relief both physically and emotionally!

A LAUGH A DAY

"She who laughs, lasts." At least that was Theresa of Avila's
philosophy. Theresa, a Spanish nun who founded the reformed order of the Carmelites in 1562, used to look for novices who knew how to laugh, eat and sleep. She believed that if they ate heartily, they were healthy; if they slept well, they were more than likely free of serious sin; and if they laughed, they had the necessary disposition to survive a difficult life.

Abraham Lincoln must have also known that laughter is good medicine. In writing about Lincoln's Civil War years, author Richard Hanser says that on September 22, 1862, the War Cabinet was summoned to the White House for a special session. Lincoln was reading a book as everyone came in. Secretary of War Stanton later said this of the meeting: "Finally the president turned to us and said, 'Gentlemen, did you ever read anything of Artimus Ward? Let me read a chapter that is very funny.'"

The president then read aloud a skit called "Highhanded Outrage at Utica." Stanton was furious, but Lincoln read on and, at the end, he laughed heartily. "Gentlemen," he asked, "why do you not laugh? With the fearful strain that is upon me day and night, if I did not laugh, I should die. And you need this medicine as much as I do." It was at this same session that the president pulled a paper from his tall hat and read aloud the now immortalized Emancipation Proclamation.

He's right -- we may likely die without frequent and sustained doses of laughter. After all, they who laugh, last.

Have you had your belly laugh today?

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================

Citrullis lanatus!
 
Green on the outside and red or yellow on the inside! Nothing says summer like this subtly crunch, thirst quenching fruit. A nutritious food best to eat by itself. I know summer is really here when my husband starts looking to purchase a watermelon!
 
Although watermelons can now be found in the markets throughout the year, the season for watermelon is in the summer when they are sweet and of the best quality. More Watermelon will be probably be eaten this week than any other time in the U.S.
 
Watermelons are low in calories and very nutritious. Recent research suggests that lycopene, a powerful antioxidant, helps prevent some forms of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Research shows that consuming foods that contain lycopene are associated with a decreased risk of prostate and cervical cancer.
 
Watermelon is related to the cantaloupe, squash and pumpkin as well as some other plants that grow on ground vines. Watermelons can be round, oblong or spherical in shape and feature thick green rinds that are often spotted or striped. They range in size from a few pounds to upward of ninety pounds. The biggest watermelon grown according to the 1996 Guiness Book of World Records weighed in at 262 pounds!
 
Health Benefits
 
While the watermelon does not contain a large amount of nutrients it still is considered a healthy food! This delectable thirst-quencher may also help quench the inflammation that contributes to conditions like asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, colon cancer, and arthritis. According to research conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, men who consumed a lycopene-rich diet were half as likely to suffer a heart attack as those who had little or no lycopene in their diets. Red meat watermelon is rich in lycopene, second only to the tomato.
 
Watermelon is also high in vitamin C and vitamin A, in the form of disease-fighting beta carotene.
 
Watermelon also contains potassium, which is known to help control blood pressure and possibly prevent strokes as well as necessary for a regular heart beat.
 
Watermelon is not a commonly allergenic food, is not included in the list of 20 foods that most frequently contain pesticide residues, and is also NOT KNOWN to contain goitrogens, oxalates, or purines.
 
Many new varieties of watermelons have been developed in recent years. Yellow and seedless types are finding an increasing share of the specialty watermelon market. Small excellent quality "icebox" melons are also becoming increasingly popular.
 
WATERMELON VARIETIES; Seedless, yellow: Seedless, red: Yellow flesh, seeded: Red flesh, seeded:
 
"Seedless" marketing note: "Seedless" varieties may have some seeds, especially in the first fruits set if the plant is under moisture or temperature stress.
 
Choosing the right watermelon!
 
Look the watermelon over, choose a firm, symmetrical watermelon that is free of bruises, cuts and dents.
 
Lift it up - the watermelon should be heavy for its size. Watermelon is 92% water, that accounts for most of its weight.
 
Turn it over - on the underside of the watermelon there should be a creamy yellow spot from where it sat on the ground and ripened in the sun.
 
Following these tips will help you pick the best watermelon available.
 
History
Originating in Africa, watermelons were first cultivated in Egypt where testaments to their legacy were recorded in hieroglyphics painted on building walls. The fruit was held is such regard that it was placed in the tombs of many Egyptian kings. It is not surprising that watermelon played such an important role in this country, and subsequently in countries in the Mediterranean region, since water was often in short supply in these areas, and people could depend upon watermelon for its thirst-quenching properties.
 
Watermelons were brought to China around the 10th century and then to the Western Hemisphere shortly after the discovery of the New World. In Russia, where much of the commercial supply of watermelons is grown, there is a popular wine made from this fruit. In addition to Russia, the leading commercial growers of watermelon include China, Turkey, Iran and the United States.  
 
Tips for Preparing Watermelon:
 
Wash the watermelon before cutting it to prevent introducing germs into the melon on cutting. Due to its large size, you will probably not be able to run it under water in the sink. Instead, wash it with a wet cloth or paper towel.
 
Depending upon the size that you desire, there are many ways to cut a watermelon. The flesh can be sliced, cubed or scooped into balls. Watermelon is delicious to eat as is, while it also makes a delightful addition to a fruit salad. Jam, sorbet and juice are some nutritious and delicious things you can make with watermelon.
 
While many people are just accustomed to eating the juicy flesh of the watermelon, both the seeds and the rind are also edible.
 
Enjoy your refreshing low calorie watermelon!
