what are typical food *triggers*?

hello all

i just found this group yesterday. my sweet 6-yo dd was diagnosed
with psoriasis a few months ago. she has it all over her tiny little
body. we’ve tried a few natural things and are continuing to do
some, and we are also using topical steroids and dovonex. the
steroids seem to be helping, but i hate the idea of the side
effects. i have faith in the natural stuff, but we aren’t seeing a
difference with just that. i have a feeling we need to look at her
diet. can anybody tell me what are *YOUR* trigger foods? i have a
whole list of foods to avoid, but that would really mean that all she
can eat is some fruits, some veggies, some oils, and rice. i can’t
imagine eating like that. i’d like to know what are the most
important foods to eliminate. and how did you figure out what those
foods were for you?

also, can anybody give me some ideas of menus that i can prepare so
that she can eat a yummie variety of foods? please keep in mind that
we have 4 children and they are just that…children!!! they have
children’s taste buds! they prefer the nasty yellow-death mac and
cheese and hot dogs. although i do NOT encourage this.

THANX!!!

    —hi ingrid yes i believe diet is the way to go
    have a look at tis too
    I am sending you this information so that you may evaluate it,
    properly and share this information with your people

    Following the principles outlined in the Orion project will lead you

    The Edgar Cayce approach to treating psoriasis
    Cayce takes an entirely different approach to this malady siting the
    causes in case after case of an internal problem. Thinning of the
    walls of the intestinal tract namely at the jejunum and the
    duodenum, the thinning allows toxic products from the intestine to
    actually leak into the circulatory system and then it finds way into

    the lymph flow of the skin.

    When the blood and lymph systems are unable to cope with these
    poisons i.e. they are not being eliminated as quickly as they are
    forming then the inflamed skin condition known as psoriasis is
    produced. This condition Cayce said was not always from the same
    cause.But is always caused by a condition of lack of lymph
    circulation through the alimentary canal and by absorption of such
    activities through the body.

    Treatment
    This should focus on ridding the body of these circulating poisons
    and bring about a gradual healing of the intestinal tract lesions
    while improving coordination between the organ systems. This would
    clear the skin permanently by getting rid of the cause. This is
    really getting at the cause of the problem.

    IN NEARLY EVERY CASE DIETARY IMPROVEMENTS WERE MANDATORY.

    Since toxic elements tended to be acidic in nature, the general diet
    was to promote alkalinity and thus bring about a better
    acid/alkaline balance to the system. Emphasis was on fresh fruit and
    vegetables to promote better elimination’s of the intestinal tract.

    One meal a day should consist of raw vegetables wholly, oil maybe
    used as a salad dressing. Little meat except fish fowl and lamb was
    mentioned.
    Eliminate fats sweets and pastries from the diet. Wines were OK but
    not stronger drinks, not rum or the like.
    Good bowel movements were second to the diet; again helping the body
    rid itself of these toxic forces. Which included Enemas,colonics,
    and laxatives .

    Physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, the violet ray and sunlight are used to
    stimulate better circulation Osteopathy was also used to relive
    pressure upon he autonomic ganglia and related systems and thus
    improve circulation.

    Herbal remedies to promote healing of these lesions were nearly
    always prescibed. Yellow safron, chamomile and mullein teas. Ground
    elm bark mixed with water or the chewing of slippery elm bark was
    advised to stimulate the digestive secretions.

    Very little attention is given to the treating of the skin lesions
    at all, since these only reflect what is wrong with the general
    system.
    Stimulating the circulation was also advised, hydrotherapy,
    physiotherapy including massage with a combination of olive oil and
    peanut oil, the violet ray was also advised. Also Sunlight to build
    up a good perspiration would be good for the body.

    Palliatives such as resinol and cuticura ointment were mentioned –
    apply one following the other and apply these over the areas over
    the abrasions.
    One final comment made by Cayce when asked if there was an absolute
    cure was. Most of the answers lie in the diet these is a cure it
    requires patience, persistence and right thinking.

    Suggested diet
    At least three mornings each week have rolled crushed or cracked
    wheat –not cooked to long which destroys the vitamin content, this
    will add the iron, silicon, vitamins etc- to build the blood supply.
    At other times have citrus fruits – juices, the yolk of eggs but not
    the white portion of them.

    Brown bread with butter. Ovaltine coffee [without milk of cream] or
    milk alone. Occasionally stewed fruits like prunes, raisons, figs,
    apricots. But do not eat citrus fruits with cereals or gruel’s or
    any of the breakfast foods.
    During the morning have a malted milk preferably with the raw egg in
    same or a taste of the spirits frumenti.
    Noon raw fresh vegetables- none cooked at this meal, like tomatoes,
    lettuce, celery, spinach, carrots beet tops, mustard, onions or the
    like [not cucumbers]. No quantities of broths or soups at this time.

    Evenings- broths, soups may be taken in small measure .Let the meal
    consist of vegetables that are well cooked and a little of the light
    meats if you must. No fried foods at all were advised.
    There is a supplementary commentary in the files by john Pagano D.C,
    a cooperating physician about the use of Lecithin.

    He highly advises all psoriasis sufferers should include this.
    Lecithin is a fat emulsifier; it seemingly keeps fat from
    accumulating in the arteries by keeping it in suspension. Which
    should be great news for those who have a tendency for clogging
    arteries.

    He quotes in Adele Davis book when 254 patients who had psoriasis
    were given 4-8 tablespoons of lecithin daily no new eruptions
    occurred after the first week and even the most severe cases
    recovered within 5 months. John advises the granular form of the
    product as this should be most effective 3-4 tablespoons of the
    stuff each day until the condition has cleared then 1-2 daily
    thereafter as a preventative.
    Take this any way you can, just get it down, because of the
    phosphoric acid content it should be very good for brain and nerve
    tissue and for all patients with any type of degenerative diseases
    such scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, MS Muscular dystrophy or
    even Myasthenia gravis. There were cases where he had found this
    beneficial.

    I would also add to your treatment to be even more effective

    6.Ensure you do at least I hr per day some kind of voluntary work
    when you are able. Now this touches on a concept where by
    contributing something to other peoples welfare it is hoped that the
    universe will respond by offsetting some of the not so good things
    we have done. I have a whole paper devoted to this subject called
    karma. I will send a copy of this to you – just e-mail me.
    I believe that this could be a real key needing total importance in
    treating many ailments, Edgar cayce devoted many hours to this very
    topic, and there are many references to it in the bible. The wise
    among you will consider this very carefully

    12 Spiritual healing, Reiki, find a good healer - but someone you
    feel an attunement with at a soul level otherwise you can have
    negative results making your situation worse. We are know witnessing
    one of the great turnings in our century where old healing practices
    are re-emerging such as Reiki healing, Colour healing, Seichim,
    Spiritual healing, Osteopathy, Massage and many others.

    Some of these are thousands of years old, Spiritual healing is one
    of those. It is exactly the same kind of energy used by Jesus in so
    many of his healings.

    Put simply Spiritual Healing, Reiki is the transference of certain
    energies through a channel which could be a person or an animal or
    even the planet, the wavelengths of this healing energy are well
    outside the limits of most scientific equipment but a lot of people
    can feel this energy .

    The energy in my experience has been very uplifting and beautiful
    which can touch and vastly influence parts of us such as the spirit
    or soul or our mental selves and our physical selves. It can bring a
    steadiness and balance and sense of well-being second to none .Its
    limits as to its use are in the realms of the infinite.

    A very simplistic analogy would be to liken it to a massive energy
    reservoir which can be tapped into by people and animals which act
    as the conduits of this energy and like wires of electricity some of
    which are bigger than others and so therefore big wires can transmit
    more energy than smaller wires.

    Bearing this point in mind the reader can soon appreciate that going
    to one healer can be vastly different than going to another as it is
    with so many things whether it be dentists, doctors, policeman or
    what have you.

    Spiritual Healing is natural healing energy, which is present in
    this universe. Spiritual healers work in many different ways to some
    it is the laying on of hands onto a person or animal, to others it
    can be sent through the power of thought. To be even in the presence
    of some healers can have a profound and beneficial effect on people
    and one wishes that there were more people giving off just as
    beautiful vibrations as these people were this world would truly
    transform it.

    4. Ensure your diet is good raw salad once a day ideal or 5 portions
    vegetables or fruit daily ensure adequate protein women 60 grams day
    men around 70grams. Ensure you get adequate minerals all of them
    particularly calcium and magnesium, iron in the right proportions
    and combinations. See Adele Davis book lets eat right to keep fit
    ISBN 0046410171.

    A new study published in the February 15, 2005 issue of Biological
    Psychiatry shows that certain foods are better at treating
    depression than antidepressant drugs. The study found that omega-3
    fatty acids and foods high in a compound called uridine were able to
    reduce the symptoms of depression as well as or better than three
    different antidepressant drugs that were tested.

    This research was conducted at the McLean Hospital, which is
    affiliated with Harvard.

    It’s very exciting to see this kind of study, because it shows yet
    more scientific evidence for the healing effects of food as well as
    the relative uselessness of prescription drugs.

    Based on the results of this study, it seems silly that anyone would
    continue to use antidepressant drugs to try to treat depression when
    there are simple healing foods available that do a better job.

    This is especially true when considering the potentially dangerous
    side effects of antidepressant drugs that are now coming to light,
    including increased risk of suicides, violent behavior, and other
    similar acts of aggression.

    Ensure adequate water intake of the order 1-2 litres per day that’s
    right water. Blood sugar make sure you are not suffering low blood
    sugar as this can very quickly affect your mood.
    Also according to a known therapist who says that some of her
    patients had food intolerance’s or reactions to certain foods which
    were a significant contributory cause of depression .when certain
    foods were taken out it seems immediate results were found.
    So it might pay you to have a test done on the relationship of your
    foods and you. It seems a great many benefits are obtained when you
    cut out foods that don’t suit you.
