Diet Therapy for Psoriasis
Since psoriasis is a metabolic disease, a cleansing juice fast
for a week is always desirable at the beginning of the
treatment Carrots, beets, cucumbers, and grapes may be
used for juices. After the juice fast, the patient should adopt
a well-balanced diet, consisting of seeds, nuts, grains,
vegetables, and fruits. Emphasis should be placed on raw
seeds and nuts, especially sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds,
sunflower seeds, and plenty of organically grown raw
vegetables and fruits. All animal fats, including milk, butter,
eggs; refined or processed foods; foods containing
hydrogenated fats or white sugar; all condiments; and tea
and coffee should be avoided.
When there is a substantial improvement, goat's milk,
yoghurt, and home-made cottage cheese may be added to
the diet The juice fast may be repeated after a month or so.
