EDTA chelation therapy is used for treating psoriasis by many clinics around the world. Chelation therapy is the process of removing heavy metal poisoning from the body with the help of intravenous injections like ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). In the case of psoriasis patients, chelation therapy is deemed useful for removing the traces of toxins and heavy metal poisoning from the body, thereby promoting the wellbeing of the patient.

Chelation therapy for treating psoriasis is still gaining traction around the world.

The main cause of Psoriasis is yet to be determined but it is deemed to be caused by a set of genetic or environmental factors. As it is a chronic immune system malfunction, there is a combination of factors that may trigger the condition. Some of the most common causes of psoriasis are:

• Strep infections
• Cuts or wounds
• Certain medication
• Heavy alcohol consumption
• Smoking, including secondhand smoke
• Emotional and mental stress
• Weather 

One of the most common symptoms of Psoriasis is the formation of red and scaly patches of skin. A few other symptoms of Psoriasis are:

• Dry, cracked skin
• Small scaly spots
• Itchy and painful plaques of skin that may bleed

All these symptoms can be cured to a large extent to help you manage your condition more easily. Ensure you proceed with your treatment only with the best clinics that provide psoriasis treatment in Kerala.

Ozone therapy has been proven to be highly helpful in treating psoriasis. Ozone therapy essentially involves detoxification of your body, thereby resulting in enhancing and modulating your circulation and immune system. 

Ozone therapy has been introduced in clinics that impart psoriasis treatment in Kerala. By reducing the level of oxidative stress built up in the body, ozone therapy regulates the responsiveness of the immune system, neutralizes toxin levels, improves skin condition, and ensures an anti-inflammatory effect. It also aids in boosting the immune system’s ability to fight stress and improve overall wellness and health as well.

Vitamin D Nutritional therapy(Coimbra protocol) is yet another treatment approach for psoriasis which has been proven successful to a large extent in recent years. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to a wide range of mental and physical ailments, some of which are depression, cancer, cognitive decline, hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune diseases like psoriasis. Dr. Cicero Coimbra a renowned Neurologist from Brazil is the first one who successfully used high-dose Vitamin D therapy for psoriasis.

Most autoimmune conditions involve certain levels of vitamin D resistance. So high dose vitamin D therapy along with nutrients like zinc, omega 3, selenium etc helps to overcome this vitamin D resistance. The treatment is highly effective and free of side effects. Thousands of psoriasis patients around the world are benefitted by Dr. Coimbra's protocol. The treatment is cost-effective, easy to follow, and can be done on an outpatient basis.

As mentioned above, food is one of the main factors that may trigger a psoriasis outbreak in patients prone to the condition. We at Bethaniya Clinic believe that having a holistic approach to life, including the food you intake, plays a dominant role in how healthy your body is. Therefore, it is vital that you follow your doctor-prescribed diet to keep your psoriasis condition at bay.

Certain foods help alleviate the discomfort and associated symptoms of psoriasis, so ensure that you eat the same in abundance:

• Fruits and vegetables - enrich your diet with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory fruits and vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, berries, green leafy vegetables, cherries, grapes, dark fruits, etc. 
• Healthy oils - use oils that are healthy for your heart like coconut oil, olive oil, and flaxseed oil.
• Nutritional supplements - fish oil, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12.
• Fatty fish - include fatty fish that is laden with omega-3s in your diet for its anti-inflammatory properties, such as salmon, trout, sardines, and cod. 

The best approach would be to avoid those foods that may trigger a psoriasis flare-up, such as:

1. Red meat & dairy - one of the most common components of both red meat and dairy is a polyunsaturated fatty acid called arachidonic acid. This has been proven to be a major trigger for creating psoriatic lesions.
2. Alcohol - cutting down on alcohol can be a huge relief to psoriasis patients as this can cause autoimmune flare-ups in the immunity system.
3. Gluten - those with psoriasis have a higher chance of developing celiac disease, a gluten sensitivity. It is best to avoid foods containing gluten such as wheat, rye, beer, processed foods, certain sauces, and condiments, etc.
4. Nightshades - potato, tomato, eggplant, pepper.
5. Processed foods - contain high-calorie components which in the long term can cause conditions that trigger chronic inflammation.

You could also follow certain diets, which best suit your condition, after due consultation with your doctor:
