Question 1

Can any herbal supplements help psoriasis?

Accepted Answer

There is no dramatic result with any herbal supplement. Nutritional supplements are sometimes helpful in relieving psoriasis such as fish oil supplements. Diet plays a factor in small percentage wheat sensitivity is a trigger.

Question 2

Want to take tumeric for psoriasis but need to know drug and supplement interaction?

Accepted Answer

If you have psoriasis you have an upset immune system. You may want to try looking to causes like leaky gut and food sensitivities rather than the ineffective western approach of "treating" the symptoms.

Question 3

Months ago derm told me that it would be good if i use proscutan cream (d-vitam supplemented cream) for psoriasis. now, he told me not to start using it and use diprosal instead. as i searched, diprosal is steroid. so, it is stronger than proscutan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, steroid cream or ointment is used to treat psoriasis, not vitamin D cream.

Question 4

In additional to using topical products, can taking vitamin a supplement help with acne and psoriasis ?

Accepted Answer

There are very good treatments that work for psoriasis and would use them first.  Beware of supplements as those who sell them do not have to prove they are either safe or effective. They often have stuff in them you may not want. Viagra, narcotics, licorice etc. See and be guided by a Dermatologist.

Question 5

Hello, 
i've recently been diagnosed by a dermatologist with psoriasis on my scalp.  what foods should i avoid? what should i eat more of?  are there any supplements that may help? other than the topical steroid i was prescribed, what home remedies can al

Accepted Answer

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder which has no known link to food and supplements will not likely help . Shampoos containing coal tar may help but it is messy and smelly.

Question 6

How safe and effective is taking herbal supplements of turmeric, ginger, omega 3, green tea, and garlic to fight inflammation caused by psoriasis?

Accepted Answer

Don't get your hopes up or spend much money on stuff like this. There's no law against promoting these in glitzy "natural healing" sites. It may work. You will probably just be out the money.

Question 7

I am having a really bad odour no matter how much i take care of myself. is my body trying to tell me that theres sonething wrong or its because of lthe food i eat. i am a 38yo mom. i am taking collagen and vit. c supplements. what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

You don't say the apparent source of the odor. Bad breath? Intestinal gas and feces? Body odor? Vaginal odor? All have different causes, and sometimes no cause can be identified.  If body, breath, etc see your doctor for a general health check-up. If vaginal, get checked for bacterial vaginosis and other genital infecstions.

Question 8

Do collagen supplements work !?

Accepted Answer

your question could be a bit more specific--for injections it can help for cosmetic purposes.  For taking it for arthritis or to support joints, there is no good data that it does anything.  Avoiding smoking will help project the collagen in your body.

Question 9

Does collagen  supplements make you younger:?

Accepted Answer

Have a discussion with your physician regarding use of Tretinoin or adapalene as anti-aging products .

Question 10

Are there any herbal supplements and/or good foods to build collagen?

Accepted Answer

There are thousands of supplements advertised to do all sorts of magical remedies. Very few supplements have real research studies to show benefits (but manufacturers make claims, based on theories, animal tests, testimonials, chemical similarities, etc... But not on real research because real research is hard to do and is expensive to do). No supplement is able to help build the desired collagen.
