D:
Can you give us a short synopsis on how it works?
First
and foremost, this way of eating is associated with having an anti-inflammatory
effect. And it's long been known that certain foods can either feed
inflammatory pathways or actually help to diminish the effects of inflammation.
And
psoriasis is now defined as systemic inflammatory disease. So this diet is
first and foremost anti-inflammatory.� So
the way that it works is to help to reduce the systemic inflammation that's
associated with psoriasis. And by calling it systemic inflammation that means
the inflammation is not isolated to just the skin. It is system wide.
Psoriasis
is systemic inflammation. So what the diet does because our diet influences
every single cell in our body. This is why I believe a diet can be so effective
because it literally works on all cells. Basically we're just at the skin
level. Systemic drugs like , like
biologics. They have a system wide impact and that's why their side effects are
certainly not limited to the skin.
Raptiva's just been pulled off the market. The FDA made an
announcement about two months ago that the systemic drug, Raptiva,
was associated with causing lethal brain infections. And now the drug company
has even pulled that drug off the market entirely.
