Many of our clients have asked us about skin disorders especially Eczema and Psoriasis. We decided to write this months article on Eczema and Psoriasis to help the general public understand these skin disorders. We hope this information gives you better understanding into the causes of Eczema and Psoriasis, and provide you with alternatives to traditional oral drugs and prescribed ointments.

Psoriasis and eczema are both caused by Ascaris parasite according to Hulda Clark Ph.D., N.D. Their molting chemicals (chemicals these parasites produce) are very allergenic. Pets are a very common source of infection. For example cats are known carriers of Ascaris parasites and lay Ascaris eggs when they lick their fur. The pet owner then pets their cat not knowing or realizing the infectious nature of the fur. At this point the unaware pet owner then rubs their face or eats a sandwich infecting their self with the parasite eggs. Dogs, horses, cats, pet rodents, ferrets, birds, and reptiles are known carriers of Ascaris parasite. If you have pets it is wise to eliminate parasites in your pets and your self.

Miasms are also responsible for eczema and psoriasis according to Rev. Marcy Foley D.C., N.D. Miasm comes from the Greek word meaning to “taint” or “pollute”. Miasms are disease patterns carried over from two to five generations ago. The disease patterns changes is subsequent generations. In this case it is possible for Syphilis miasm to appear as Psoriasis. Fortunately miasms are easy to clean up. Both conditions can also be aggravated and brought on by stress and lack of nutrition. In other words all the chemicals for a fire are already present in the body and a stressful day or incident might be all that is needed to set off the flames of eczema or psoriasis outbreaks. Both eczema and psoriasis indicate an off balance body pH. With both of these diseases it is certain that body pH has become to acidic.

Other contributing factors to psoriasis and eczema are as follows:

• Parasite infection
• Acidic body pH
• Toxic bowels
• Mercury poisoning (usually from dental fillings)
• Toxic metal poisoning
• Chemical and solvent in the body
• Toxic kidneys
• Toxic liver
• Bad diet

Symptoms and other factors of eczema and psoriasis

Eczema – Sometimes referred to as Dermatitis this is an inflamation of the skin that produces scaling, flaking, thickening, color changes, and, often itching. Some times the skin may also develop fluid filled blisters that ooze and crust over. Itching can be due to allergies, impaired liver function or over exposure to chemicals or sunlight. Perfumes, cosmetics, medicated creams, heavy metals such as gold, tin and silver may be linked to eczema outbreaks. Chemicals in soaps and lotions may also be linked to outbreaks of eczema. Some with eczema are sensitive to sunlight. Chronic stress and tension can cause and lead to the spreading of eczema.

Psoriasis – Psoriasis appears as patches of silvery scales or red areas on the legs, knees, arms, elbows, scalp, ears, and back. The overly rapid growth of skin cells is the primary cause of lesions associated with psoriasis. In some cases skin cells grow four times faster than normal. Toenails and fingernails can lose their luster and develop ridges and pits. Psoriasis often follows patterns of flare ups then remission. This disease usually starts in the teenage years but has been reported with infants. Tension, stress, illness, alcohol and drug abuse, cuts, injuries, bacteria, viruses and poison ivy are also known culprits that can contribute to the on set of this disease
