I write this to let others know that my Kitty (Kittis Spuss) as I call her from birth. Has decided to leave us, she has not yet passed, and is home again (Thankfully) laying in her favorite place, The Tractor seat. She has not eaten in 6-days now and is very weak, the Vet said to prepare to make plans. She will pass tomorrow either way, I can not let her suffer. Continue reading “Loss”

Radio Interview about Psoriasis
The good news about radio is that no one can see you–which was to my advantage as I was still in my jammies. The interview was for a program called “Just For the Health of It”, CHML, out of Hamilton, Ontario. It aired live at 8 a.m. EST, which meant 5 in the morning for me (yawn!!!) Still uncertain what I actually said but hoping the station will send us an audio link so we can share it with you, here, on the website.
It has been really great to have hooked up (in the older sense of the expression:) with Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleue, the Naturopath who knows more about K2 and D3 than just about anyone in the known universe. And she is generous with her time–sharing the wonders of these supplements through her book “Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox”, as well as videos on Youtube and other media.
After our segment was finished I kept listening to the program and Dr. Rheaume talked about another supplement that caught my interest. It’s called herring-gold and is actually herring roe in supplement form. I’ll do some research on it. Who knows? This four-part protocol mostly came together as a result of ridiculous good luck. And we’re always open to new things that might help in our fight against psoriasis.
When the show ended at 6 a.m. I was too revved to sleep so I pulled out my bottle of Telamore Dew Irish Whiskey, had a wee dram, fell back into my bed and didn’t wake up until 9.
Prescription Drug Advertising
Only two countries in the world allow advertising (TV and magazine) for prescription medications–the United States and New Zealand (although the American Medical Association has recently voted to call for a ban on this very lucrative type of advertising).
The reason this advertising is problematic is that people are taking the word of paid actors over the advise of their doctor. Continue reading “Prescription Drug Advertising”
Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleu
Sometimes just taking a risk is worth it!
I was feeling a bit blue the other night and wondering how to get this information about our protocol out to more people. Maybe it was the “blues” that made me remember one of our heroes in this fight against psoriasis–Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleu, a Canadian naturopath who has been promoting the use of the vitamins K2 and D3 (for osteoporosis).
We had often Continue reading “Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleu”

I don’t care to hear Your Sob stories of Psoriasis! …..I just want You to try this and prove this Grumpy old Fuck Wrong!……..I was not looking for a Cure or a Treatment when all this happened ….. it just happened……I Continue reading “AHHHHH Relief!”
DOCUMENTARY OR DECEPTION!!!
My friend, George, cut out an article from a small newspaper. I just had time to give it a glance but was delighted to see that a Vancouver based filmmaker (a woman) had done a 10 minute documentary on psoriasis called the “Invisible Man”. Free for everyone to watch. Doesn’t Continue reading “DOCUMENTARY OR DECEPTION!!!”
The Joys of Swimming–Minus the Stares!!!
If someone had told me a year ago that I’d be swimming in a public pool, in a bathing suit, I’d have told them they were nuts….BUT…it’s happening. Every Monday and Wednesday from 1:15 onward, it’s only $2.20 to use the Olympic complex next to the Nat Bailey Stadium.
The first time I walked in I was sure people were going to stare at my legs–legs that never saw the light of day for decades. It felt weird. And I felt awkward.
But Continue reading “The Joys of Swimming–Minus the Stares!!!”
The Wonder of Magnesium Chloride OR Dang!!! Charlie’s right again!!!
So, I’ve been arguing with Charlie for months about moisturizing. And because he’s a guy guy, he avoids it like the plague. I figure he’s just stubborn but he says he’s just logical.
Anyway, after cheating a bit Continue reading “The Wonder of Magnesium Chloride OR Dang!!! Charlie’s right again!!!”
CANADIAN THANKSGIVING…feeling grateful:)
Ah, it’s turkey time in the more northern part of North America. As I was telling Charlie, we here in Canada have the good sense to keep Thanksgiving far enough away from Christmas so that we really enjoy both turkey dinners!
But even more important, this weekend gives me time to Continue reading “CANADIAN THANKSGIVING…feeling grateful:)”
Psoriasis-free…..Part 3
Nope! things just got worse. The next letter threatened not only would we be hit with legal action BUT they would remove everything that I had ever written on the Team Inspire site. Now, for me personally, that wouldn’t have been the end of the world. After all, my skin was already clear.
But all the people who had been helped and all those who would come afterwards would not be able to see the protocol or Continue reading “Psoriasis-free…..Part 3”
1 YEAR WITHOUT PSORIASIS
If someone had told me just over a year ago that I wouldn’t have psoriasis or that I’d be swimming in a public pool or that I’d be part of a team running a website about psoriasis, I’d have told them that they were just plain crazy.
But here it is–my first anniversary psoriasis-free. It has been a steep learning curve to be sure. With many positive experiences. I got Continue reading “1 YEAR WITHOUT PSORIASIS”
Psoriasis-free…..Part 2
Nope, not everyone was happy. As a matter of fact there appeared to be some pretty angry people on the site who didn’t like what we were doing and certainly didn’t like the good results we were getting.. They posted scare tactics (particularly about the high dosage D3)–about the negative side effects. And they were relentless.
Our thread was constantly under attack–warning letters, threats of suspension, posts deleted. When Charlie was given a two week Continue reading “Psoriasis-free…..Part 2”
