Hi there,
Hows your condition now? I have read and also have been told by people who have eliminated psoriasis, that when following a diet such as the one you described, the final stages of eliminating psoriasis ( or bad toxins) from your system results in an increase of psoriasis lesions. Shortly after this the skin starts to heal and you are then free of this scurge of a condition.
However if you continue to eat unhealthy and pratice a poor lifestyle, psoriasis will eventually return.
I think you may have quit at a critical time. Please check out a book called 'Healing Psoriasis' by Dr.John SPAMER LINK REMOVED.
Currently I'm following most of his recommendations and some others such as juicing vegetables and fruit and have greatly reduced the severity of my psoriasis condition. I feel in time I can beat it too. I think there is a CURE..through living healthly. It's currently working for me!!
All the best to you,
Nat

Anyway, I tried a natropath-led diet program (at a very high cost) that involved following a strongly alkaline diet: lots of green leafy vegies, small amount of protein once a day (no red meat or dairy), no fruit except one apple a day, no alcohol or caffeine, no breads, rice or pasta, lots of water. On this diet, apart from being very hungry and cranky, my psoriasis became the worst it's ever been and trebled in size! This was in conjunction with taking nine supplement tablets three times a day and using a "special formula" cleanser and lotion. A very expensive failure! I now just try to be healthy and I do find that I flare if I don't eat lots of vegies. I have heard it can be helpful to eliminate what's called the nightshade family of vegetables: includes tomatoes, capsicums (or peppers) and potatoes.
