Psoriasis Vitamin Deficiency
Can anyone tell me what nutrient is missing in my diet?
I've been told that when ever a person has ezcema and psoriasis and things like that,that there is some sort of nutrient deficiency in there diet.
I have dark, dry,and blotchy spots on some areas of the arms and some on legs caused from a mild case of ezcema.I've tried lotions ,vitamins,and even dietry supplements and still haven't found anything to target the problem.What could I be lacking in my diet that causes this? And what can help Clear this up.
I'm no interested in prescribed medication,which is a temporary fix.I would like to find a natural treatment.Thanks.
Well, vitamin D is good for your skin (sun)- as well as 400 IU of vitamin E. I had the same thing - seems like after I took a B-Complex vitamin - it helped an awful lot.... Many times when I get my bloodwork done - I research whenever anything registers high or low... on-line has a lot of information on bloodwork and what you may be lacking or getting too much of.. and much can be controlled by vitamins.
Vitamin a - Benefits, Deficiency and Food Sources
Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is essential to the formation of visual purple in the retina, which allows vision in dim light. It helps your eyes adjust to light changes when you come in from outside and also helps keep your eyes, skin and mucous membranes moist. Vitamin A mostly comes from animal foods, but some plant-based foods supply beta-carotene, which your body then converts into Vitamin A. Vitamin A deficiency is rare in the United States, but it can cause night blindness, eye inflammation, diarrhea and other problems. Overconsumption of vitamin A can cause nausea, irritability and blurred vision in its mild form. Vitamin A toxicity can cause growth retardation, hair loss and enlarged spleen and liver in its more severe form. Vitamin A overdose can also cause birth defects and has been linked to increased risk of bone fractures in some people. Like other vitamins, vitamin A does not replace food and in fact, it cannot be assimilated without food.
