Experience with psoriasis?

[Cuddles]

Ah I do miss fresh fruit, most of it is high lectin though which seems to be about the worst thing for autoimmune disease next to sugar

really? I haven´t heard of this before. I do know about tomatoes though which are said to be really bad due to lectin.
I started eating by my blood type again a few years ago. The book mentions avoiding tomatoes (for all types if I remember correctly) but as far as fruits go I´m allowed to eat almost all
This may be an interesting thing for people with certain health issues to look into as well. The book is a very easy and very quick read. It also includes various case studies for all blood types.

I also use a water ionizer to help my body ph. I drink a pint first thing every morning and also use the water to make my morning coffee plus herbal tea.
Alternatively you can also take a baking soda tablet occasionaly but no more than 1 gram. This is the dosage per tablet we get over here. Mixing and drinking it tastes yuck imo. Christ, I already teke wheatgras powder and that stuff awful enough, lol.

@Cuddles yes definitely really in a big way. Lectins and autoimmune disease are not friends. If you remove all high sugar and high lectin fruit you’re left with black currants, figs, blueberries and strawberries. Oh and green unripe bananas, not sure why anyone would want to eat them though.

You can get a blood test to see which lectins you make antibodies for, some are easier to get rid of with pressure cooking or fermentation than others.
Apparently everyone with autoimmune disease makes antibodies for gluten. Avenin is another problem one because like gluten
it doesn’t break down with heat.
Soya is very high lectin, legumes, pulses, beans, most grains and seeds, the list is long. Much easier to look at a list of low lectin foods than high, not much left to choose between.
You might not make antibodies to them all though, or you might be able to tolerate some after specific processing.
Best way to find out which are triggering your autoimmune response is an antibody blood test, you can then have further tests to check how effective you’ve been at removing them from your environment.
It’s not easy, they’re in pharmaceutical meds, vitamin pills, cosmetics, people feed their cows, chickens and cannabis plants with them, they’re water soluble, it’ll be getting into the buds.

I agree more cannabis is usually soothing and helpful and thats what medical cannabis experts have said. Works well to just focus on calming your mind to reduce stress. Also strain and plant selection can choose the best ones for you.

Edibles work well to have a more moderated effect and are longer lasting instead the more intense effect from smoking more to get the same benefit. Good to combine edibles with smoking as needed.

Dr Bronners is a bit difficult with the hard water here. It kind of left a film, but will try again once water softener gets filled up with salt.

Avoid recurring injuries to an area of the skin which can cause psoriasis.

I may make a topical with last year's harvest. Have some flower left and also kief from dry ice extraction.

I think for dosage consistency going to go with the dry ice kief and make up some infused coconut oil. Wonder what lecithin would do to the recipe, may leave it in to try it. What is best to add to the coconut oil salve.

Really like this salve which is being discontinued from Enerhealth Botanicals.

Going to try to formulate something like this. The essential oils have benefits.

Yeah I prefer faith in nature, it’s just the only other one I’ve found that doesn’t make my skin fall off.

Lecithins increase cannabinoid uptake but are usually extracted from either sunflower or soya which are both high lectin so I wouldn’t risk it, might be over cautious but there could be traces remaining that don’t get separated.

They weren’t popular in Italy for a long time after being introduced for this reason, eventually they realised the lectins are mostly on the skins and seeds so just removed the flesh and ate that.

Cooking reduces lectins thankfully so, should be good for most of your diet. I do eat a few peanuts but just few servings a day with oatmeal. Hemp seed is a good alternative or compliments the peanuts so you don't' need as many. They said peanut lectins aren't known to cause health effects.

I love tomatoes, they are good for you too. I eat them cooked anyway most of the time.

Raw foods are good in some ways for your diet, but sounds like you need to be aware of lectins causing potential issues.

They’re all different, cooking them in a dry heat (roasted) doesn’t break them down, it needs to be in water and 100c (boiling) is not hot enough so a pressure cooker is best.
Avenin, the lectin in oats does not break down at any temperature achievable with cooking. Tomatoes can be peeled, deseeded, and pressure cooked which helps reduce but doesn’t completely remove lectins. Fermentation is the other way to get rid of them.

Everyone makes antibodies to different ones, peanuts are a legume, I can’t have any legumes even if they’ve been fermented and then put through a pressure cooker.

My reaction is varied from bloating and fatigue to extreme pain and bleeding depending on the lectin and dose, many people are asymptotic (don’t react) but still produce antibodies which with continued exposure cause secondary autoimmune conditions like psoriasis, arthritis, fibromyalgia ect.

The test looks at many different proteins, lectins are sugar binding proteins.
This from a local test centre,

‘Our tests can cover anywhere from 50-200 different food proteins and measure the reactions of IGG and IGE antibodies in your blood. This is currently the most reliable way to test for specific intolerances’

Dry skin is worse in Winter so keep hydrated and take Your vitamins.

Making a salve and wanted to ask what ratio of THC:CBD works best for psoriasis? Also what concentration is best to use?

Making something similar to the enerhealth botanicals CBD salve which they are discontinuing.

I will be using kief infused coconut oil and trying to dial in dosage. Think I need 1.5 mL infused coconut oil with the capsule recipe to get 125 mg THC.

A quote from Ethan Russo..

‘There is nothing cbd can do that thc can’t do better’

I disagree with him on this, it’s a very effective cannabinoid antagonist, it prevents the uptake of cannabinoids.

Arguably cbd isn’t even a cannabinoid because the definition requires anything described as such to be an agonist at the receptor.

It’s a weak partial agonist that acts as an antagonist at the receptor but it’s also a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor which is what causes its effects, better to use a precursor like 5htp for that because it doesn’t block the uptake of cannabinoids.

The theory is that if you block cannabinoid uptake with cbd your body responds with increased anandamide production but this has never been proven, the dose of cbd required for measurable efficacy in any condition is huge and therefore cost prohibitive when compared with a very small amount of thc.

The effect of cbd blocking peak uptake of thc might be useful for those not accustomed to altered states of consciousness but this wouldn’t be relevant if used topically.

@pipeline I wouldn’t be surprised If tomatoes amongst other high lectin foods are causing your skin problems, it tends to be things you eat a lot of, you wouldn’t be making antibodies to something you never eat.
You make antibodies to deal with the lectin but they also attack endogenous cells, it’s the antibodies that cause the problem, not the lectin.
