If I wasn't such an alcoholic, this would be much more simple...

My skin is gonna hate me tomorrow...

So technically I should have been done with the Fu Fang Qing Dai Wan, but nooooo I had to go float the river like 5 times and get wasted and go to the bar and have chugging contests and shotgun beers and be a total asshole to my body instead. heh heh, well I finally got the other 2 boxes (24 packets total) and I want to really finish this stuff, but I'm going to a wedding this weekend and I know I'm gonna get totally plastered because the girl getting married is my old best friend girl next door Rachel. I've also been slacking with the Neem and the Indigo Naturalis. BUT I do like the neem and think it is really good with removing the scales, but honestly, the sunlight from floating the river those few days seems to have done more help than anything I'm trying right now. It's kind of hard to get defined results from anything when your doing like 5 different things at once. (check previous posts to find out whats going on) 

So I've still got about 3.9 ounces of Neem and same for the Indigo Naturalis, and I gotta find a way to blaze through this stuff because I hate wasting anything so I think I'm just gonna put it in everything, my shampoo, my soap, friggin' everything.

Somethin' else I just read about! Ok so in case any of you wanna know, I also have a TWITTER (http://twitter.com/Psoriasistance) about this blog, where I tweet about different things I hear about, I also follow a lot of people who tweet about psoriasis. I'm kind of surprised, I actually hear about a lot of good stuff by just following anyone who tweets about psoriasis.

Click here to read about it...

This person (I forget who it was now, sorry!) tweeted about making a red clove and lavender healing salve by infusing both of them in olive oil (or they suggest apricot kernel oil) and mixing with beeswax so it's easier to apply. I think I'm gonna try this out when I get a chance. Both of those things grow naturally around where I live. (Pacific Northwest) If I get around to harvesting the stuff and actually doing it (I really hope I do) I'll take photos and let you all know how it turns out.



I ALSO FOUND THIS PAGE which I fully plan on coming back to soon to do some more research, so I'll just put it here for anyone else who wants to check it out: http://hubpages.com/hub/Psoriasis-Herbal-Remedies

Tattoos-shmatoos

Well in the end of 2008 I got 2 bigass tattoos on both my arms, then proceeded to get totally drunk and float the river for like a week strait, which is pretty much the dumbest thing you can do with a fresh tattoo is float the river and let it get lots of sunlight etc. Well long story short I now have psoriasis on both my arms. Boo-hoo :(


As my last post stated I started trying out this weird mixture of neem powder and Indigo Naturalis mixed with DMSO and put a little of each to each arm. This post is to kind of show you how I did that.

Oh P.S. I'm not retarded and have my lefts and rights wrong, all of these pics were taken in mirrors haha

Heres my left arm shortly after it was done, before it got psoriasis..

 

And the right arm shortly after it was done, before P..

My left arm as it looks right now (8-10-2010)

my right arm as it is now (8-10-2010)

My left arm with the Indigo Naturalis mixture on it

My right arm with Neem mixture on it.

So after applying both, I'd probably say the arm with the Neem on it started to really itch as it started to dry. Well they both really started to itch when they were drying I must say they both looked pretty good after I washed them off a half hour later. I've done this for 3 days now (wake up put the stuff on, fart around on the computer for about an hour or so then hop in the shower and wash them off) I forgot to take a picture of them after the treatment to take a pic for update so I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow and post some update pics. Not sure if its doing anything substantial yet but it does feel and look a little bit better. Like just how P looks when all the scales are gone and the fresh new skin is showing. But we all know that sweet stage only happens about once every 4-5 days. I'll try to update tomorrow..

Things I'm trying out, Neem powder and Indigo Naturalis powder

I'm just gonna post some pictures of a few things I will be trying in the next few months...

Fu Fang Qing Dai Wan

I don't even remember where I heard about this stuff, I think I was just googling psoriasis treatments or something (I'm constantly researching over and over /reading articles randomly for new clues) I actually got a box of this in the mail yesterday and started taking it. It doesn't really taste like anything, well kinda just a little gritty like herbs... the lady I bought them from on Ebay told me to eat 3 packets a day er well drink 3 packets a day just drink them down with water. It's kinda hard but I'll get used to it. I ate 3 packets then decided to go to a birthday party out in Seattle and drank some liquor (I know, I'm terrible!) so I'm gonna wait a day or to to pick it back up and do it right. I bought 3 boxes, (12 packets each) so essencially I have enough for 12 days worth if I'm totally loyal to it and dont skip etc, and the lady said I'd need AT LEAST 3 boxes, I will try to take em all faithfully starting in a few days to see how if it works and if it does, see if 12 days worth is worth the like 22 bucks it cost to buy all 3 boxes.

Oh yeah thats right, now I remember how I came across that Fu-Fang. I typed Psoriasis in Yahoo answers and started just reading away and I heard of a lot of people who were using Champori to get rid of their psoriasis, but i didn't feel like spending like 66 bucks on a 4 oz thing of it so I was looking at the ingredients of Champori and I guess the main ingredient is Indigo naturalis which is a Chinese herb which is also known as Qing dai. according to http://indigonaturalis.com/  so I decided to google that and see what I could learn about it and thats when I stumbled upon this: 

http://eastearthtrade.com/indigonaturalisqingdai4ozpowder.aspx

I just decided to up and buy it (4 oz for about 23 bucks) because I got into a little bit of a self-medicating spree. While looking at that I ran across Neem powder. (Also on the same site, so I also bought 4 oz of that for about 6 bucks shipped) They got to my house in about 4 days.. not bad!

http://eastearthtrade.com/neem-4ozpowder.aspx

Now, although that vid doesn't really say anything about psoriasis victims, It came up right next to the indigo naturalis on the east Earth Trade site as a potential item for psoriasis. It's not directly for psoriasis but it does say it's very impressive for acne and other skin problems, and this site (http://www.neemgenie.co.uk/psoriasis.html) does say a lot about it working for psoriasis. I did some research into how I could maybe use all this powder I'll be getting and some sources suggested it can be mixed with pretty much anything. (shampoo, body wash lotions etc.) A long time ago I was doing random research about something (I forget what) but I ended up buying some DMSO Gel (Dimethyl sulfoxide) because I'm weird I guess and maybe thought I would find a way to try to make it work for psoriasis. Supposedly anything you mix with it will get carried through the skin really well or some shit... heres some better info if you wanna read:  http://www.dmso.org/articles/information/muir.htm

Fuck it, maybe this will work?

Well it's been pretty much sitting in my bathroom closet for 2 years and now I have all this powder with nothing to mix it in! BLING! haha ok so I figured I'd use it to mix with the powder and make a kinda lotion/gel thingy to spread on my arms.

Hoover M.D. tryin' new stuff haha!

I just poured a little bit... it's all an experiment at this moment... not exactly sure how much of what to use... but I'm sure this is how all the best inventions start out right?

So I mixed up these little bitches and there was thunder claps in the background and a hard rain started coming down... haha just kidding.

This is after the mixings, the Indigo was kinda hard to mix, it didn't take very well at first and was very gooey, also be careful, this stuff is what they supposedly used to dye blue-jeans with, so it stains pretty bad I hear...

The Neem mixed up pretty well, and was generally overall more salve-looking.

I'm kinda tired and I'm gonna go to bed, but my next post will have some actual pictures of what my psoriasis looks like and before and after pics of the first two days of applying this stuff!

Theres a lot of other things I plan to try later, only because I already paid for FuFangQingDaiWan and and the powders that i need to use up before I buy anything else.
