Product Description
This is a book for the determined, not for the quick fix crowd. A clear understanding of the underlying causes of psoriasis is presented, one that flies in the face of current drug-oriented treatments, nevertheless one that recognizes the causes and alleviation of psoriasis that have been known for decades. Leading edge strategies are also revealed, and resources are listed. The book is blunt, and does not coddle the reader. Rather, it requires participation if the reader is to be healed of the condition, and very specific solutions are offered in a comprehensive plan of action. Uniquely, the author offers his personal help when readers are registered through links that are provided in the book.

 An excellent primer on self-healing August 22, 2005

For eleven years, I have had severe psoriasis (76% PASI - if you have it, you know what this means) and moderate (sometimes severe) psoriatic arthritis. Aside from working with my physician, I regularly read books and do research on the treatment of psoriasis. I methodically try different therapies to try to help myself. This was just another book on my list this year, but has been the most valuable in my collection. This is one of the few psoriasis books that was not written by a designated expert of some kind, but rather someone who was sick like me. I have been quite strict in following the book's psoriasis healing recommendations for almost two months now. I have only recently begun to experience signs of improvement. The flare-ups are noticeably less severe and I have cleared several long time trouble spots. I am not completely clear and that is to be expected, but I am continuing with the methods and have no doubt that further improvements will follow. What is surprising is that my overall health has improved significantly - I have lost over 32 lbs and blood pressure has returned to normal levels without medication. I feel better in general. Please try it yourself but be patient. The method in the book is a lifestyle commitment. It's not easy, but if you have it as bad as I did, you will have the discipline to do it. I have spent 11 years trying to do quick fixes with various drugs that have worked with some degree of success in the short-term, but invariably are not long-term solutions because of bad side-effects or expense. As I said in my review title, this book was a gateway to the world of self-healing. This book has introduced me to a whole new way of thinking about personal health care. I have taken responsibility for my health. This book shows you how. No one cares about your health as much as yourself. Good luck. DON'T EVER GIVE UP.

I found this book to be as helpful for general health as for psoriasis. It explained psoriasis to me in a way that I have not heard from any doctor, which is refreshing. The book is easy to read and follows a logical path and convinced me in no uncertain terms to look twice at my medical service. There is a lot to think about, but I liked the way it provides an action plan that can be started immediately. I would recommend this book.

Loaded with information that your doctors won't discuss, even when asked. Have blazed right through this book and now I'm going back over it taking notes and planning MY way out. Outstanding!
It works!! January 12, 2009

My psoriasis began with a small itchy spot on the back of my head. For several years it would come and go. Then the summer of 2005 it suddenly covered my entire head in a matter of a month. What misery! It itched so at times I could hardly stand it and a good night's sleep became a thing of the past. I went to a dermatologist and he pronounced my fate. No cure. But I could wet my hair each night before I went to bed, put on the "junk" he prescribed, and cover all with a shower cap. That should help. Yeah, sure. Try sleeping with that clammy mess and your head still itching like the dickens. So I checked the internet, found this book by Jerry G. Scott and began to apply his recommendations, which is mainly a change in diet. Within a month the psoriasis was gone and did not return for nearly three years. Then one day a new little spot appeared at the back of my head. I had eased off following the diet, but still, except for rare occassions, had refrained from drinking colas of any kind and only indulged moderately in peppers, tomatoes, white potatoes, and a few other forbiddens foods. I went back on the diet and that little spot disappeared. If I know of someone who has psoriasis, I tell them about this book. Today, seeing it in my bookcase, it occurred to me to do a review, even though I've had the book since 2005. My advice is to try it. It can't hurt you. I'm certainly glad I did.

 Very Mediocre Book, but better than perscription medicine October 6, 2005

If you are looking at this book review, you probably suffer from psoriasis, like I used to. Buying this book was one of MANY steps it took to clear up my condition. This book explains some VERY important concepts, but the knowledge itelf will not clear up your skin. The author is clearly NOT a doctor, which while it hurts the validity of the text, retroactively makes it easy to understand. I have seen skin care professionals who knew less about psoriasis than the author, however. To clear my skin, I used the concepts from this book and did a lot of other research on the internet and through doctors and naturopaths to come up with this recipe for clear skin:
1. Drink 16+ cups of water per day
2. Take 'Psorizide Ultra' homeopathic drug with nickel. Side affects are nil, drug is safe.
3. Take 'Primal Defense' (a pill,) which helps line your stomach with healthy bacteria so you can process food better and toxins don't leak out of your intestinal lining and affect your skin (this is explained in the book.)
4. Tan in both regular sun and in tanning beds twice per week.
5. Stay away from certain foods especially saturated fats. This helps many other problems as well.
So this is not a perfect book, but was an important research tool in finding a method for me to cure myself of my case of psoriasis. You must research your own case because everybodies body is different, and that's why doctors have a hard time finding out why you are breaking out. Also, shelling out 20 bucks for this book is less than a fraction of the cost of one visit to a dermatologist and will yield you much better results than the standard answer for psoriasis which is: "Take this and see if it works. No? Okay try this."
