An alternative view of alternatives?

[FrankLee]

Hi everyone,

Having looked round a few psoriasis sites I must have seen zillions of 'It works for me' type alternative treatments.
As there are so many differences between them, from yoga to urine therapy (!!!) is there anything to be learned from them?.

As we all know there are lots of fraudsters looking for our money but not all of these opinions can be fraudulent, I'm sure some people are just sharing their opinions about 'what works for them', because they genuinely feel it does work for them.

My point here is, as we are always told that there is no cure, would it be best to choose treatments on instinct or gut feeling, in that if your instinct is telling you that yogas going to work, then maybe it will, if your instinct is telling you to make dietry changes, maybe this will work.

I suppose the hardest thing is tuning in to your instinct, honest assesment of the drugs/treatments we use is difficult without knowledge, so I would say, be as well informed about it all as you can be , and follow your instincts!

All the best, FrankLee

When I first came to this board many suns ago! I kept reading about this "no cure" statement and felt VERY depressed about it!

then I started thinking...wait a minute! hadn't I always heard that the Higher Power (choose your own) didn't send an illness without away to cure it!
Maybe somewhere in the rain forest there would be one?... :p ! not making that trip! So I decided to take the high road......

one of my favorite funny quotes

"Refuse to be ill. Never tell people you are ill; NEVER OWN IT to yourself. ILLNESS is one of those things which a person should resist on principle at the onset."

Welcome FrankLee,,,as you go along,I'm sure you'll find most of us are here to find ideas in alternatives than in medications. Also most us are finding good results.I was upset at first with posts that were negative on P and that nothing works...I seem to find more peace in reading alternatives,,there are so many ways to help P calm down, some as you'll see have completely cleared from alternatives. I to refused to take or use any form of steroids or injections. :eek: Right now i'm clear. Hopefully you will also,,,all you have to do is be willing to give up things for awhile and find what works for you and the main thing is to keep your body in and out healthy. Good Luck!
