Guilty Pleasure & Psoriasis

[Lilja]

Hi all,

This my be way off record, but I take the chance :-)

Maybe watching the Kardashian-series is regarded as «politically incorrect» in the U.S.? (In Norway it is).

But, I have acquired a «guilty pleasure» now as I’m getting older. I watch what we in Norway call «trash tv». I used to forbid my sons to watch soap operas while they were growing up in the 80’s-90’s, and I didn’t even approve that they watched «Friends»…

Okay, now as I’m retired, my sons are grown up men, and I’m more relaxed, ha ha :-)

Yes, I’m following «Keep up with the Kardashians». In the last episode, (recorded 2-3 years ago?) Kim Kardashian discovers that her body is covered with rashes. And wow, do I know the feeling when the doctor tells you what the rashes really are, and that you will have it for the rest of your life!

You just feel that your life is over. You feel as if you have got lepracy. You are young and your body is flawless, it's important to look good, and you get this awful disease…

I got psoriasis back in 1973, at the age of 26, and I was devastated. Little did I know that the psoriasis was a reaction to what I ate…, nobody knew back then, and I’m afraid very few realizes this even in 2015.

After having gone glutenfree, caseinfree, soyfree and partly eggfree after only 4 months in 2014, my psoriasis just vanished.

My body is spotless (well not really, taking my age into consideration), but I don’t have any spots and rashes.

I hope that she has some good consultants around her, who can tell her that the food is the «enemy», and that she does not have to have psoriasis for the rest of her life.

If she had lived in my country, I would have found some way to convey the information to her.

Many years ago, the work I was involved in had me talking with many Europeans on the phone. As an American it was always greatly surprising at how interest Europeans had in our Entertainment industry, and about America over all. It wasn't nearly the same here. We didn't have the same exposure to European news and entertainment as much. You just didn't see it mentioned much on TV.

I mention as it's been enjoyable to watch Netflix films and shows that have been made around the world. I don't always understand Nordic humor in particular, but it's been a fun learning experience viewing a few of the shows.

Glad your skin is looking nicer from diet changes and a few supplements. I've noticed some of the wheat free diet authors make it a point to mention how frequently clear peoples skin becomes when avoiding wheat and other grains. Dr. Davis's Wheat Belly sight often has articles and pictures on this. It can be seen at:
