What is Psoriatic Arthritis- PA? The most primitive but accurate description would be, it is a skin condition (psoriasis) with arthritis to go along for the ride.
Not a good thing. PA can be very debilitating, it's just as bad as Rheumatoid Arthritis as far as pain, but with the break out of psoriasis patches all over the body, or in particular areas.
I had taken a test from www.alcat.com it is a company in Florida that does blood work for food sensitivities, not allergies, SENSITIVITIES. After the test I got my death sentence. I was not allowed to eat practically anything that I was eating at the moment.
No gluten, no sugar, no meat, no chicken, no chocolate, NO LIFE....
But when you can't walk you have no choice, I stuck to it, and amazingly enough in 5 days, yes just 5 days I felt 50% better. I began to walk and limp...
I than discovered the miracles of the Dead Sea and put my life on hold for three weeks and baked on the sun
(my whole body was covered with psoriasis patches) the treatment is brutal, six hours on the sun and 4 times 15 minutes at a time in the sea.
First I got worse, it took 18 days to see improvement. After 21 days my skin cleared up, I came back home, stuck to a diet and after three months of the diet my SED rate (the inflammation measured by blood work in the body) fell 63%
This is one year later, I cheat, sometimes, I have my sugar fixes, and sometimes I eat chicken and meat, but as soon as I do, my skin lets me know the next day. So I have to be careful. As for arthritis, it's triggered by gluten, 5 days of croissants, (and I'm talking one once a day) and I feel it in my back.
Doctors tested me for gluten and assured me that it was okay, apparently it's not.
I LOVE food, so for me to give it up is tough, and the worse is to accept that we really are what we eat.
