You need to take vitamins and supplements from a good, quality company that processes them so that they will be used by your body. That does not happen with over the counter purchases. I have used a barley grass product that I have had great success with for all types of skin conditions and will be glad to discuss it with you if you will contact me.
i've actually heard eating barley(like in oatmeal form) helps alot. my mom had a friend who found relief this way.
I would say that you might want to see your doctor first, to see if he or she can come up with something to help. Or you can consult your nearest GNC, Neutrician, or an Alternative Medicine Store to see what other products that the have in stock.
GSE (grapefruit seed extract) is AWESOME for killing fungus and yeast, which is basically what your psoriasis is. It really does work. (I've noticed a difference in the amount of flakes my scalp usually coughs up). Buy it in liquid form and buy clear gelatin caps (size 00 is good). Make yourself a little pill with every meal and you will see results. (Never drip it directly onto your tongue as it tastes like poison!) Also, you might want to look into adding a few more yeast/fungus killers to your diet like pau 'd arco, and olive leaf extract.
You can try squalene (deep shark liver oil) topically AND orally to soften, moisturize, smooth, and reduce scarring. The key to finding what works for you is making sure you have the most potent form of whatever you are taking, and take it for a period of time. Not just a few days or a week or two.
Hope you find something that works.

You should maintain good health to effectively control psoriasis symptoms. Harsh chemicals and medication can sometime be a trigger for flare ups, so best avoid them. For home remedies, try http://www.skinoriginal.com/psoriasis/32... for natural remedies. The best thing about natural and herbal remedies is that they not only ease psoriasis, they also help keep the skin healthy and smooth. Good luck!
Food allergies, especially to yeast-containing foods, can be a significant factor.
Fish oils (the omega-3's) in supplement form have been helpful in doses of 6 g per day.
Many sufferer have found some relief from the inflammation and itching of psoriasis when they took the fish oil supplements: No matter what other treatment you may be using for psoriasis, I suggest you take this supplement.
In addition to fish oil, extralight mineral oil--which you can get at health food stores--can be used as an inexpensive substitute for the moisturizers sold specifically for psoriasis.
Candidiasis can also contribute to psoriasis. There is an increased incidence of candidiasis in the bowels of people with psoriasis, and, if present, the patient must avoid all foods high in yeast, such as baked goods, cheese, mushrooms, vinegar, soy sauce, fermented foods, alcohol, and pickles.
If eliminating yeast from your diet doesn't improve your symptoms, fumaric acid might help. This treatment involves the use of fumaric acid ester, commonly used in the food industry as a food additive in place of citric acid. In healthy individuals, fumaric acid is formed in the skin when it's exposed to sunlight. People with psoriasis appear to have a biochemical defect that requires prolonged exposure to the sun to produce it. Fumaric acid ester capsules have been used in clinical trials in Switzerland and the Netherlands with excellent results. In a recent study, 8O percent of the 285 patients involved reported marked improvement, and 52 percent of those patients were completely cleared of psoriatic lesions.
The fumaric acid will take some time to work--it can take up to three months before any improvement is seen--but it can be highly effective.
The capsules should be taken before meals with plenty of fluids. After taking them, you'll notice a warm feeling and tingling of your skin in the neck and shoulder area. The feeling will last for about fifteen minutes, and it means that the desired metabolic reaction is taking place.
Another side effect of the treatment is that in about fourteen days you may feel a slight worsening of the itching and a slight swelling of the feet and hands. If it occurs, this lasts for only a few days; it is an indication that the treatment is effective.
Last but not least, keep in mind that tension can aggravate psoriasis. Regular exercise and relaxation exercises will help.
Try fumaric acid. Because of possible side effects, have the treatment under supervision:
First two weeks: one 500 mg capsule a day.
Next two weeks' two 500 mg capsules a day, one morning, one evening.
Next two weeks: three 500-mg capsules a day, one with each meal.
After the first six weeks you can increase the capsules by one a day for a two-week period until you reach a maximum dose of seven capsules daily.
After lesions have substantially cleared, a maintenance dose of one or two capsules should be taken daily.
NOTE: Patients on this treatment should avoid taking penicillin and pregnant women should not use this treatment, and all people with psoriasis should avoid tetracycline.
For those with the time and money for an extensive trip, the Dead Sea area in Israel is a famous healing resort for psoriasis. There, the burning rays of the UV spectrum are filtered out by the ever-present haze, and patients can spend many hours in the sunlight or the mineral-rich water without becoming sunburned. Although nearly half of the people who try this method will have a recurrence of psoriasis, I'm sure the group that's now psoriasis-free would heartily endorse the Dead Sea cure.
There surely is something out there: www.champori.com I've used their psoriasis Cream & Spray combo 7 months ago and it cleared my psoriasis (plaque) in two weeks!! Worth a try.
Best,
Bernadette
