I've never seen this AI-response system here mention anything about Omega-3 and Omega-6 in the diet. It mentions vitamin-D, like here, and other nutrients, but never anything about the "essential" fatty acids. And there's dozens of published clinical papers on the subject of essential fatty acids as they relate to skin inflammation; so it's not like the information doesn't exist. But it doesn’t seem to be in the vocabulary of this AI system...

Have you used the Sarno Method to effectively treat psoriasis?

The Sarno Method isn't mentioned in current psoriasis treatment approaches. This method, developed by Dr. John Sarno, focuses on mind-body connections for chronic pain conditions rather than autoimmune skin conditions like psoriasis.

For psoriasis, evidence-based treatments include:

* Topical treatments (corticosteroids, vitamin D, retinoids)
* Phototherapy (ultraviolet light therapy)
* Systemic medications (methotrexate, cyclosporine)
* Biologics (targeted immune system treatments)
* Lifestyle modifications and stress management

While stress can trigger psoriasis flares, the condition requires treatments that address the immune system dysfunction and skin cell overproduction. If you're interested in complementary approaches alongside medical treatment, it's important to discuss them with your dermatologist to ensure they're safe and won't interfere with your prescribed therapies.

A MyPsoriasisTeam member shared their journey to remission involved working closely with a dermatologist who tried various evidence-based treatments including phototherapy, immunosuppressants, and eventually biologics, with careful monitoring throughout the process.
