We are what we eat... This wise saying pertains to people with psoriasis in a great degree. Psoriasis is an old and mysterious disease, but even the ancient healers noticed the influence of the food and beverages on the state of the skin of people with psoriasis. One of the first people, who have derived his own system based on the influence of food on psoriasis, was John O.A. Pagano.

John Pagano is a chiropractic physician, a specialist who got his degree from the College of Osteopathic Medicine. Pagano has been treating people with psoriasis with an "all natural" method for forty years. His book, HEALING PSORIASIS: The Natural Alternative was originally published in 1991 and has been on best seller lists from 1998 through the present. Dr Pagano Psoriasis Diet has received a wide acceptance throughout the whole world.

What is the essence of his system? In brief, doctor Pagano believes that bowel toxins are the reason for psoriasis. The bowels can't manage the toxins, and so the toxins percolate into the circulatory and lymphatic systems. John calls this "the syndrome of a non-hermetic bowel". The liver and kidneys also cannot neutralize the toxins, and so the skin becomes the "last cleansing resort".

A number of studies show that bowel permeability in people with psoriasis is 1.5-2 times more than the standard one. Intercellular distance in the bowels is increased, which allows the non-digested particles and the intestinal microflora to get into the blood and lymph, and then exit through the skin (forming psoriatic plaques).

Let's overview the reasons for the disrupted work of bowels, and Pagano's regimen itself:

Why do our bowels stop managing one of their main functions - the secretory function? There are actually many reasons: constipation, bad diet, insufficient water consumption, spinal disorders, stress, heredity, and some others. The negative factors increase the amount of body toxins, increase blood acidity, etc.

In Pagano's book (HEALING PSORIASIS: The Natural Alternative) the possible reasons for damaged intestinal walls are enumerated; this facilitates "the syndrome of a non-hermetic bowel":

• antibiotics (increase the pathologic flora in the bowels by damaging the useful flora)
• alcohol and caffeine (potent bowel irritants)
• foods and beverages contaminated with parasites
• chemicals in processed foods
• enzyme deficiency
• corticosteroids
• diet high in carbohydrates
• mycotoxins (toxins produced by fungus, mushrooms, molds and yeasts)

We can also add: chronic constipation, saturated fats, Solanaceae/Potato family vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, chili peppers, tobacco, and eggplants), smoking, spinal disorders, and negative emotions (anger, fear, and anxiety).

Consequently, in order to heal psoriasis Dr Pagano Psoriasis Diet advises to:

2. stop adding new toxins into the body
