What is naturopathy?

Founded upon a holistic philosophy, naturopathic medicine combines safe and effective traditional therapies with the most current advances in modern medicine. Naturopathic medicine is appropriate for the management of a broad range of health conditions affecting all people of all ages.

Naturopathic physicians (N.D.s) are the highest trained practitioners in the broadest scope of naturopathic medical modalities. In addition to the basic medical sciences and conventional diagnostics, naturopathic education includes therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, natural childbirth, classical Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulative therapy, pharmacology and minor surgery.

I'd Reckon To Give It A Shot.
I first discovered this book on Amazon in 2002 when I was looking for a way to control my psoriasis,one month after being diagnosed with gutatte psoriasis due to a strep throat infection.

Since the methods discussed in this book were cost effective (in my personal opinion), I tried it out. Back in 2002 and 2003, I saw a gradual improvement that brought me to psoriasis clearance. I could say that I was 97% cleared and was really happy with the results. In that sense, I have to give credit to this book.

I then also joined the Psoriasis Association Of Malaysia (Selangor & Kuala Lumpur Chapter) and met a lady who also followed the same regimen. She had guttate psoriasis too and she had cleared since following the regimen. She had psoriasis for 18-20 years approximately. I had also met a few others in the Association that followed a diet regimen with suppliments (somewhat alike to Dr Pagano's regimen) and they have also seen 100% clearance.

Unfortunately I suffered an inffection of the leg which is termed cellulitis 12 months ago (at the time of writing). My psoriasis had flared up due to this major infection's impact to the immune system (where the problem of psoriasis dwells). I immediately started the regimen again. However what had worked before does not seem to work this time round and my psoriasis seems to be very stubborn. This time round, the regimen is ineffective.

I do not know why this is the case. I would just like to share that the Pagano regimen has worked for some of us in Malaysia and it is worth a try. And for me, it had worked once before. Since the new psoriasis drugs such as biologics are very expensive in Malaysia (way above what the average psoriatic can afford and I do not know if we have a system like in the US which helps people get on biologics), Dr Pagano's regimen does offer an avenue for us to explore and keep our hopes up until we find the right solution for our health condition that none of us wanted in the first place.
Sounds good but want more details on the "dos"
I am all for natural alternatives for healing almost anything and the ideas in this book sound like they are feasible. However, this is a hard program to do with a growing boy. Like a normal teenager he is always hungry and the fruits and vegies don't keep him full and he is getting tired of chicken and fish. Lots of "don'ts" on the food list... I need more "do" ideas. I bought the cookbook, but it doens't have a lot of foods that he likes & virtually nothing that I can send to school in a sack lunch. I really need sack lunch ideas!! I will try the program with modificaitons... wish me luck :-)
You are what you eat and this book proves it !!!!!!
I've been plagued with this disease for almost 7 years now and have 50% of my body covered with sores. I have been to the Cleveland Clinic and many other doctors searching for relief. After great expense, I was no better off afterwards than before, sometimes in worse shape. I have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of of this to no avail!!!!!

When I came to this book I was doubtful but like every other suffer desperate for relief, I forwarded the link to my wife and she bought the book. I have been doing this for almost a week now and I am starting to see the results, even though I haven't followed it to a "T". Yeah the teas are horrible, but other than that it is not bad - better than the disease. So if you are also plagued with Psoriasis, I HIGHLY recommend this book and the lifestyle change it promotes. Yes I miss my steak and potatoes, but that's life - time to move on.

As for the one review that states it all stress related, this individual surely doesn't have psoriasis. I am a Network Administrator and my day is nothing but stress filled, like almost every other American out there, but yet I am healing.

I eat more fruits and veggies than ever before, drink my water, eat my fish and chicken, salads, drink my teas (YUCK) and almost all other things recommended - sorry I'm not perfect - but it is working.

So in summary when your momma said you are what you eat - believe her - GOD gave her wisdom - just follow it and eat right. I'll do a follow up review in 3 months, prayerfully I will continue to heal and be done with this once and for all.

My Psoriasis is 99% gone.
I started to follow the diet in this book in October, 2003 and I just recently went to Florida on vacation and wore shorts for the first time in years.

I had tried every cream and UV treatment available. My dermatologist said the only thing I could do now was to try the oral medications. I chose not to go down that route because of the risk involved in pregnancy. After having my first child my psoriasis spread from just my calves and elbows to my back and head. With much frustration I began searching the Internet for anything that would help. I found this book on a website and order the book from Amazon after reading it from cover to cover I started the diet. After 6 months the only remaining area with psoriasis is the lower part of my legs and that is nearly gone.

The book was easy to read and the instructions are very clear. If you are frustrated with all the treatments your dermatologist has prescribed try this and you will be satisified. It is not easy and it will take a while before you see the results but believe me my before and after pictures are as dramatic as those in the book. I only followed the diet, drank the tea and took baths in epsom salt, I did not follow the other regimens in the book but these three worked for me. Oh and I lost 54lbs along with my psoriasis.
