What Really Causes Psoriasis

What Really Causes Psoriasis
Psoriasis is more than a skin condition; it is a health concern.
Characterized by the blistering scabs and oozing sores that erupt all
over the body, psoriasis is a chronic non-contagious inflammatory skin
disease that is best known by its:
• Silvery-white scales
• Crusty sores
• Bleeding lesions
So what causes the skin to erupt in these nasty pustules suddenly?
Research shows that a faulty autoimmune response is to blame. When
something triggers the immune system to go into overdrive, it makes
an overabundance of skin cells, which then harden into the scaly
pustules and scabs psoriasis victims must deal with. However, what can
trigger such a serious response by the skin?
Is Your Stomach to Blame?
Who would have thought that a severe psoriasis outbreak could start
because of something going wrong inside of your stomach and
intestines? Yet, new research developed by psoriasis expert Edgard
Cayce shows a distinct link between a "leaky gut" and a scaly psoriatic
episode. According to Cayce, the primary source of psoriasis can be
found in the intestinal tract, where toxins are leached into the body.
This causes the immune system to react by thickening the skin. At the
same time, the skin tries to purge the toxins through its layers, which
can cause scabs and sores to form.
Could Arthritis Be the Culprit?
The intestines are not the only link to psoriasis found by researchers arthritis also seems to contribute to it. As many as one-third of all
psoriasis patients eventually develop some form of psoriatic arthritis.
Unlike "normal" forms of arthritis, those with psoriatic arthritis do not
exhibit a rheumatoid factor when their blood is tested. This indicates
that the arthritic condition comes solely from either the psoriasis itself
or the underlying cause of the skin affliction.
Could a Virus Be the Cause?
Arthritis has been linked to certain virus and so have other autoimmune
disorders. This leads some researchers to think that psoriasis too may
start with a virus, which is what kicks the immune system into
overdrive.
Other Causes to Consider
• Your Genes: If one person in your family suffers from psoriasis,
the odds are good that you will too.
• The Environment: if you are bombarded constantly with toxins in
your environment, your skin may fight back, causing psoriasis
outbreaks.
• A Poor Immune System: Without a properly functioning
lymphatic system, your skin is unable to repair itself properly,
which could incite a psoriasis attack.
With so many different causes of psoriasis being investigated, it is
important for each individual patient to look at their own risk factors to
determine their own triggers to help develop the best treatment plan.
A long-term solution for Psoriasis should address the internal causes of
Psoriasis by tackling all Psoriasis contributing factors. Only by
controlling the nutritional, hormonal, psychological and environmental
triggers of Psoriasis, using a multidimensional and holistic approach to
healing you can reverse the "internal Psoriasis environment"- the only,
safe, natural and effective way you could ever achieve lasting Psoriasis
freedom.
