Goodness, this year has flown by so quickly that my head is spinning. And I wish the news we listened to was more uplifting but it wasn’t. Many of us are suffering from an overdose of bad news. Wars. Depression. Drug addiction. It goes on and on. Continue reading “May 2024 bring Clear Skin and Happiness”

I live in the beautiful city of Vancouver, on the West coast of Canada. I share my apartment with a little Brussels Griffon called Lucky. I like to read and watch movies and draw cartoons and write. I'm also a published author and painter. Mostly I like to putter. And fix things. And think.
TRUTH BOMB
Eight years ago, maybe closer to nine, I got free from the disease that had been an exhausting and depressing challenge for over 47 years. It felt like a miracle. And I was so excited about it that I wanted to share it with other people who also suffered from psoriasis. I thought everyone would be as excited as we were about this simple protocol.
I thought the largest foundation for psoriasis in the U.S. would be delighted with this discovery by three people who had absolutely no idea what they were doing and had no science to back them up. I thought my dermatologist would be on board to recommend this to other patients.
To put it bluntly, I was really naive.
THE MIRACLE OF VITAMIN D
WARNING: Just a quick note to inform you that a person is using (without permission) our registered domain name (FreedomFromPsoriasis) on Reddit. The Reddit posts are not written by me, nor am I affiliated in any way with that person or the Reddit site.
That being said, I have been finding a lot of new information about vitamin D (D3). Dr. John Campbell, a British nurse PhD, who I’ve been following for most of the pandemic, posted a YouTube about high dose D3 about a week ago. He’s easy to find and has a lot of good information.

Try This Hack for Plaque Psoriasis
Sometimes I forget that what I’m doing for my own skin might be helpful to someone else. I guess the new word for a ‘tip’ is a ‘hack’. And this hack can be quite helpful if you suffer from plaque psoriasis.
As you know, plaque psoriasis is actually a buildup of layers of skin. I can’t remember how fast it multiplies but it can get quite thick. One of the worst things you can do is to pick at it (like picking at a scab) because then you can actually hurt yourself. Or cause infection.
So, this is what I figured out Continue reading “Try This Hack for Plaque Psoriasis”
R.I.P. CHARLIE (aka the Pain)
R.I.P. CHARLIE (gone to a better place where there’s no pain)
It is with real sadness that I pass on the news that Charlie (my partner in crime on Freedom From Psoriasis) passed away in 2021.
I have wonderful memories of our many Friday night Skype talks that sometimes went on for several hours. We shared a lot of laughs and we argued like hell but we always came back to how important our protocol was and what new things we might have found out in our continuing journey–battling psoriasis and helping others who had this disease.
And I remember we first met on the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) discussion board when he came onto my ‘thread’ (kind of like a blog) talking about Continue reading “R.I.P. CHARLIE (aka the Pain)”
HAPPY VITAMIN D and MERRY k2mk7
Well, I think it would be fair to say that this past year has been a bitch and a half. But me and the mutt (Lucky) are still standing.
Some good news on vitamin D. Health Canada, at the beginning of November, upped the maximum pill/capsule/soft gel/drops from 1000 iu to 2500 iu. Continue reading “HAPPY VITAMIN D and MERRY k2mk7”

CELEBRATION!!! 7 years psoriasis-free
7 years!!! Today marks my 7 year anniversary of being psoriasis free. I still find it hard to believe. I never thought, after 47 years of suffering from this disease that it would ever happen. But it did.

Heat Wave and MAKE YOUR BED
Well, we’re having our second little heatwave in Vancouver–this time with the addition of smoke from one of the many forest fires around B.C.
And I learned a new ‘hack’ for keeping my apartment cooler. Most of my windows face South or West. High temperatures and sun turn my place into a furnace. I slept on the fire escape (with Lucky) during the first heatwave.
But not this time. I was told by a nice young woman that Continue reading “Heat Wave and MAKE YOUR BED”
