Acknowledgments
Without the support of my family, my mother Nettie, my sisters Carol and Maria, and the many close friends I am honored to know and love, this book may never have been created. My business manager, Elsa Reinhardt, my editor, Johanna Bayati, my secretaries, Marie Diehl and Jennifer Velardo, all loaned their support to the completion of this work in ways I can never repay.
I appreciate the many patients, some of whom I never met, who expressed their desire for such a book and spurred me on through the years. It is my ardent desire that they now feel it was worth the wait.
To Harry K. Panjwani, M.D., Ph.D., Harold Mermelstein, M.D. (Dermatologist), James Ferlisi, M.D., Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., M.Sc., Andrej Strauss, M.D., Norman F. Childers, Ph.D., Rona Weiss, Ph.D., MS., Annemarie Colbin, Author and Founder of The Natural Gourmet Institute, and to all the many people who have written or e-mailed me expressing their joy of accomplishment in healing the psoriasis they had been plagued with, my sincere thanks for your continued vote of confidence.
Through diet and exercise, the greater portion of all disturbances may be equalized and overcome, if the right mental attitude is kept.

Foreword
     What makes us sick? There are many factors, and the answer to that question depends on who you ask. A molecular biologist will say it's our genes. A physician will say its the virus or bacteria. Ask a shaman and you'll hear about evil spirits, the anger of the gods. In the Middle Ages it would have been bad humors or miasms.
     One way in which we can look at sickness is by separating the causes into two camps: contagion or toxicity. Catching the flu would be an example of contagion. A disease such as psoriasis, which is not considered catching, would then have to be classified as caused by toxicity. As this is not exactly a widespread notion, John Pagano's approach has to be considered revolutionary. His discovery that the nightshade vegetables are contributors to this toxicity builds on the fine work done by Professor Norman Childers, of the Arthritis Nightshades Research Foundation, who has been warning the world about these common vegetables for many years.
     Dr. Pagano's ground-breaking book HEALING PSORIASIS: The Natural Alternative shows, in dramatic photographs and case histories, his success in healing this difficult disease through dietary changes and cleansing. In Dr. John's Healing Psoriasis Cookbook he continues to provide psoriasis sufferers tools for improving and even healing themselves. This is a comprehensive and practical book, with simple, easy recipes and lots of information. Rather than adding to their toxicity with further unhealthy foods and useless drugs, readers of this book have the opportunity to reverse the course of their disease and take charge of their lives. It is not easy—nothing worthwhile is—but embarking on the healing path of healthy eating is the beginning of an empowering and life-affirming journey.

Preface
(Updated 2011)
      Dr. John's Healing Psoriasis Cookbook was originally published in the year 2000. In the eleven years that have passed the popularity of this cookbook has grown exponentially; we now receive orders literally from all over the world. This third printing contains some updated material that enhances the content of the original. We have carefully chosen a different binding which promises to be more comfortable for the cook to leave open on the counter and refer to during the cooking adventure.
     Through the years Dr. John's Healing Psoriasis Cookbook has proven to be the perfect sequel to my original book HEALING PSORIASIS: The Natural Alternative and a wonderful companion to my third book One Cause, Many Ailments: The Leaky Gut Syndrome , in which I explain the theory of the origin of this and other diseases which have been treated to a successful outcome using my protocol. Without a doubt there has been a sea change among the general public regarding nutrition as much more attention is now given to this important subject.
     Human beings know intuitively and experientially that food affects our health, but only recently is the scientific community coming to recognize the major role that nutrition plays in health and disease. More than ever before, psoriatics are becoming aware that (despite everything their doctors have said to the contrary) diet is crucial to their health and well-being and their food choices are invariably (and often immediately) reflected on their skin. The old adage "you are what you eat" has never been more recognized for the kernel of truth it contains! In the case of psoriasis, to deny this truth is to fight a losing battle—to recognize and practice it is to bring about huge changes that are nothing short of miraculous. In my practice I have seen it countless times, but it requires two basic premises: 1) The patient must know what to do; and 2) He must be willing to do it! This is not the "quick fix" route of having injections that make the symptoms disappear at the cost of untold consequences in terms of horrific side effects later on. No, this is the "slow route" of dealing with the problem head-on, from the inside out, where it in fact originates. It's doing the job right—actually fixing the problem, not just eliminating the symptoms. And yes, this will require a lifestyle change, which is admittedly never easy. However, ask yourself, do I really want to get rid of my psoriasis for good? If you do, then this approach is for you!
     What my books give you is a choice, which, in the case of most degenerative diseases, you do not have. You can choose to go the orthodox route (with drugs, steroids, UV light, etc.); or you can choose the alternative approach outlined in this cookbook which has had amazing results with those who have put it into practice. The fact that you are reading this preface indicates the choice you have made. I trust you will not be disappointed!

DR. JOHN O. A. PAGANO
Chiropractic Physician
     Fifty years ago there was no cure for psoriasis. Fast forward to today—there is still no medical cure! The orthodox treatments that are available are designed merely to alleviate symptoms if anything. However, for fifty years Dr. Pagano has been getting remarkable results with psoriasis patients, because he views the disease from the "inside-out" rather than the "outside-in."

     Dr. Pagano has been helping and healing psoriasis and eczema patients for all these years with natural measures that fall within his scope of practice as a chiropractic physician. His protocol consists of nutritional counseling (i.e. the proper diet, along with effective bowel movements) based on the premise that psoriasis arises from a build-up of toxins in
