There are some diseases that have the reputation of being “UNCURABLE”. AIDS, HERPES, DIABETES… and PSORIASIS.
When I first discovered some plaques on my face… near the sides of the bridge of my nose… I didn’t trip. But after trying several so-called “remedies”, I had to do more research, and then found Psoria-Flora… a homeopathic cream which helped significantly… for a while, but the psoriasis was pretty tenacious. I then read that once you have it, it can always come back… and usually does… and more often as we age. Not a very promising prognosis.
But not only is PSORIASIS tenacious, I AM TENACIOUS! So I learned about the 5 elements of happy, healthy longevity; and I learned about superfoods, and fermented foods; and now I have my psoriasis UNDER CONTROL, with NO medication.
I met a very passionate man, who told me he had produced a film about Psoriasis. “I’m Just Like You“. He probably didn’t know why, but I zeroed in on his film. I just HAD to see it. First I watched the 6 minute trailer… with my fiance Edgar. I felt so warm and embraced that this NICELY done clip, revealing some of the vulnerability, hassle and fear I’d experienced with psoriasis… was something I shared with my partner… and then I got to feel that he knows and loves and supports me on a still deeper level.
I also felt deep curiousity about the people in the trailer… it didn’t go deep enough for me, and I was intrigued to know if I’d get in the characters’ heads and their emotions, and their challenges and family relations if I watched the full length movie. I sensed that I would feel comraderie and relief by watching the movie. And I wondered if some of them might get benefit from what I’d been doing for MY Psoriasis. So I got the movie from Fred — I was happy and proud to donate financially to get it, because I realized the $ goes to the cause of helping others with Psoriasis.
The movie was longer than I’d expected, which was cool, cuz I thought it might not go as deeply as I wanted into the characters and their family experiences. It was a full length, feature film! And I had 2 friends over to watch it with me. They found the movie gripping on a dramatic, heart-level (and they were MEN!). And I look forward to reaching out to the REAL FAMILIES featured in the film. I hope to really get to know them, and together with them, help lots of other people with Psoriasis.
