From what I can gather there is no scientific evidence exists that diet improves psoriasis.  Yet, there are so many reports, internet sites, books etc, that make these claims.
 
Are these money making scams or what?
 
To be fair, I have noticed my psoriais getting better when I eat better, drink more water, etc.  Although "better" does not mean that there was any clearing, just that it felt less aggravated and less itchy.
 
So what does anyone think, can diet help psoriasis.  Can diet clear or cure psoriasis?

Iv'e had pretty good success with a strict vegetarian diet.

That includes a lot of water.

I think that diet can improve your psoriasis but maybe it depends on the individual more than the diet. Who knows - maybe some day the docs will figure it all out.

When I have cut out soda (which at times I drink alot of) and start drinking water (6 glasses a day) it seems to make a big difference for me.

I can say without any doubt that diet makes a big difference. If you want proof, check out my web site (not selling anything). www.howtobeatpsoriasis.com Hope this helps. Charles

When you dress, do you go out of your way to hide your psoriasis?
Always, because everyone stares.
I don't have to. It is only in hidden areas.
It depends on who I'm with and where I am.
No. I've learned to live with it.
No. It never mattered to me that much.
