Condition: Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an abnormal condition of skin cells called keratinocytes. Keratinocytes are formed in the lower epidermis of the skin and move toward the surface as new cells are generated from below. While the cause of psoriasis is unknown, it is often a predisposition that might be passed through genetics. Recent discoveries indicate that immune cells, called T-cells, appear at the sites of increased keratinocyte activity and might be increasing the production of free radicals which certainly trigger inflammation of the skin.

As a result of this inflammation, skin exfoliation speeds up and becomes abnormal. Due to this rapid exfoliation, cells stick together and build up on the skin, causing scales that can become quite large and might even bleed. Because keratinocytes cells make up most of the epidermis, any part of the body covered with skin may be affected. However, the most common areas afflicted are the scalp, lower back, elbows, knees, groin, genitals, nails and skin folds.

Symptoms of psoriasis vary in the shape and pattern of the scales and in severity. In mild cases, people may not even realize they have psoriasis. In severe cases, the symptoms can be very irritating and painful and can cover a vast area of the body.

The Wellness Solution

While there appears to be no known cure for psoriasis, the wellness approach uses Total Oxidation Management to relieve many of the symptoms associated with psoriasis. Oral or topical medications may be necessary for treating extreme cases of psoriasis. However, for less severe cases of psoriasis, these methods of treatment can be irritating to the skin, invasive and can cause adverse side affects more irritating or damaging to the body than the symptoms of psoriasis itself. Our wellness approach to treating the symptoms associated with psoriasis is non-irritating and non-invasive. Using nature's own vitamins C and E can help:

• Normalize the natural exfoliation rate of the skin.
• Reduce inflammation and redness.
  Relieve itching.
• Gently acidify the pH balance of the skin
• Stimulate natural collagen development for new healthy cells

A Total Oxidation Management approach to psoriasis can be a lifestyle choice since it is non-invasive, non-irritating and does not cause any side affects. Many people who suffer from psoriasis have informed us that the use of EC Mode products has provided them relief and the appearance is remarkably improved, allowing them to stop strong medication.
