subject: Psoriasis – there is hope! [print this page] Do you, like me, suffer from psoriasis? Have the all too obvious symptoms of psoriasis like areas of dry skin, been a cause for embarrassment? Has psoriasis affected your self confidence and your ability to lead a normal life? These are questions that, for me, until a few years ago, the answer to all would have been a resounding YES! Because of recurring outbreaks of psoriasis, I hardly ever went to the beach, stayed at home when my friends went out clubbing and let the psoriasis control my life negatively! And then I was rescued! I'm not exaggerating, because something my dermatologist suggested turned my life around and all within the space of two months. A wonder drug no, a wondrous place! After years of psoriasis treatments I was fed up! Fed up with creams and drugs, health farms and lotions, fed up with diets and all sorts of wonder treatments that promised "instant relief" from psoriasis. Finally my dermatologist suggested the Dead Sea and the 100% natural psoriasis treatments. I know, the name is a bit off putting but it really should be called the Sea of Renewed Life because that what it did for me. Rest, relaxation and relief! The Dead Sea is unique in a number of ways. It's famous for being the lowest spot on the face of the earth but also for having one of the saltiest bodies of water as well. The water and the mud are rich in minerals and salts, the atmosphere is dry and free from pollutants and allergens and the desert sun has most of the harmful UV rays filtered out by the atmosphere perfect conditions for treating psoriasis! I spent three weeks at a luxury hotel at the Dead Sea. On average, I spent three to four hours a day bathing in the water, having mud packs placed on the areas affected by the psoriasis as well as others and lounging in the sun. Within less than a week, my skin looked fresher and cleaner than it had for years. Within two weeks, all signs of the psoriasis had disappeared and by the end of my stay, I was permanently in my bikini for the first time in years. Now I know this isn't a permanent cure there isn't one! But, for almost nine month after I came home, there were no signs of the psoriasis. Then, when it did begin to reappear, it was less violent and developed much slower. Because of the Dead Sea psoriasis treatments, my life has changed for the better! I go out; Im self confident and not embarrassed by my body or the psoriasis. Ask your doctor he'll give you all the information you need.
