Real life healing story: Psoriasis and Psoriasis arthritis

Indian bread (roti) is a regular food here in the northern part of India and it is made from wheat. In my quest to cut down on gluten, I avoid roti in dinner, instead I consume brown rice. In my locality, use of brown rice is not common. The grocery shop owner near my residence, Mr. Gupta brings brown rice on my request only. Initially, he used to enquire a lot about the benefits of brown rice and why I eat brown rice instead of white rice. I explained him about psoriasis and my holistic healing journey. He is happy to see me recovering slowly but surely

Day before yesterday, when I visit his shop for some groceries, Mr. Gupta told me about his wife’s sister who was also having a similar skin problem. That lady is residing in London these days along with his son and his family. She is in India these days to meet her relatives and she is completely free from her skin patches now. Impressed with her skin improvement, Mr. Gupta asked me to talk to her. He arranged me her contact number. I thanked him and readily contacted her.

I was really amazed to know about her healing story because she is dealing with psoriasis and psoriasis arthritis, both. Her name is Mrs. Seema Singhal. I had a detailed long talk with her. She was very cooperative just like most of the old age people.

I have tried to summarize her healing story with my best efforts and not to skip even a single information she shared. Do note that she was not comfortable in sharing her contact information on a bigger platform like our blog and hence, we will not able to email her or call her. But this reservation will not lessen any respect that we all owe to her. Wishing her a healthy and cheerful life for ever.

Here goes the real life healing story of Mrs. Singhal

My first encounter with psoriasis happened when I was roughly 8 years old. It started on my scalp and luckily, it didn’t spread to other parts of my body except my elbow, knee and some patches on my back. My parents took me to a lot of dermatologists and I tried a hell lot of shampoos and oils and other steroids based medicines. But nothing helped for longer. I remember those crazy itching that would bleed sometimes as well.

When I was 52 years old, I had my first attack of psoriasis arthritis. I experienced swelling in the middle fingers of both my hands and inflammation too. Gradually both my hands, feet and knees were inflamed. I visited a few doctors but didn’t get any much relief. Then I  went to London along with my husband where my son was working as an IT professional (my only child). He would search a lot on the internet about my problem and try to convince me to follow various home remedies. I never took them seriously because relevance of internet resources to heal a complex disorder like psoriasis was unimaginable for me until he bought me that book- Healing Psoriasis: The Natural Alternative by Dr John Pagano. He would read various chapters of that book and would ask my husband to read them as well. Then my husband and my son convinced me to give this treatment regimen a serious try for alteast 2 months. They showed me his YouTube video. The logics given by him in those videos were quite convincing and hence I decided to consult him. My son arranged a phone session with him and then I continued for a few more phone sessions with him throughout my treatment period.

In his very first phone session, he asked me to insert positive changes in my diet as per mentioned in his book. The foods which he emphasized to be avoided are- white sugar, refined white flour, nightshades. I would apply warm peanut oil packs on my fingers and bath in warm water with a few drops on peanut oil in it. I study his cookbook as well to explore various food ideas without violating his diet regimen. I regularly consumed probiotic to drain out all the bad bacteria from my gut and replacing them with good bacteria. Omega 3 fish oil capsules also helped me.

Gradually, I started to see results. After about 4 months of treatment, inflammation in my body joints was significantly reduced and by the end of 6 months, it was completely gone. And most amazingly, for the first time in those 40 years, my scalp was completely free from those psoriasis flakes. It’s been more than 5 years and I am still enjoying a life full of energy without any psoriasis flakes in my scalp or inflammation in my joints. Now, I don’t follow that many restrictions in my diet. Although, I avoid unhealthy foods like white sugar and refined white flour products. Also, I am still taking those omega 3 fatty acid supplements.

Drug free natural treatments take time and you need a lot of patience and discipline to follow them. But the results will come surely. Family support is also vital because there would be moments when you would feel like quitting because it is really quite frustrating a few times. But, fortunately, my son and my husband really never let me feel down. I would request all of us people here with psoriasis (and psoriasis arthritis) to opt for natural treatment to heal their body because steroids based medicines and ointments never helped me for longer.

I am damn sure that this real life healing story of Mrs Seema Singhal must have motivated you like anything. On behalf of all of us, I thank this amazing lady for allowing me to share her story. She is a real fighter who is dealing with Psoriasis and psoriasis arthritis and making the best possible efforts to live a better life.
