Oxidative Stress

Posted on December 23, 2022 by Eric Bakker

What Is Oxidative Stress?

Oxidative stress has been implicated in the development and progression of numerous diseases, even psoriasis. Below figure illustrates the importance of oxidative stress that can affect all organs in our body and contribute to multiple health problems.Your body constantly reacts with oxygen as you breathe and your cells produce energy. As a consequence of this activity, highly reactive molecules are produced known as free radicals. Free radicals interact with other molecules within cells. This can cause oxidative damage to proteins, membranes and genes.

You have probably seen some rusty metal for example, like a tin can. I remember well when I used to spray paint cars for a living many years ago, how easily a steel car door panel would develop a fine film of rust even within hours. This is called “oxidation”, or the process of oxygen reacting with the bare metal. Oxidative stress is similar, the meal you had just a few hours ago is probably oxidizing in your digestive system and cells right now. Wouldn’t it be great if we could slow this “rusting” down inside our bodies? Well we can – with antioxidants. Thank goodness we get plenty of antioxidants from a healthy diet like The Psoriasis Diet, if we didn’t, we would literally “rust to death” in next to no time. In your body, the antioxidant process is similar to stopping an apple from browning. Once you cut an apple, it begins to brown, but if you dip it in orange juice, which contains vitamin C, it stays white. And some people actually do this, by eating junk and crappy diets until they literally develop accelerated aging, and ultimately death. An eating plan containing plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and nuts can supply all the antioxidants your body needs, or does it? Are you getting enough in your diet?

Oxidative Damage Causes Disease

Oxidative damage has been implicated in the cause of many diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s and has an impact on the body’s aging process. External factors such as pollution, sunlight and smoking also trigger the production of free radicals. The presence of too many ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) otherwise known as “free radicals”, leads to oxidative damage to the molecules in our cells including lipids, proteins and DNA, and this in turn can destroy cell function. In this situation our body is under oxidative stress. Oxidative stress leads to loss in cell function and eventually to cell death, and contributes to loss in organ function.

This process leads to the development of most chronic diseases and exacerbates existing chronic conditions like psoriasis.A free radical begins to search out other free radicals and then starts a chain reaction that occurs at a frightening speed. In a recent publication by Caroline Bay who worked for the Committee on the Public Understanding of Science of the Royal Society in the UK, the author states that some free radicals react at a rate of more than 6 x 1021 billion molecules per second. Our bodies can, therefore, be exposed to billions and billions of damaging free radicals on a daily basis. No wonder that people who live for many decades start to develop degenerative diseases and other negative effects of aging.Clinical research has shown that a good quality antioxidant dietary supplement can reduce oxidative stress in your body. You will be particularly interested in knowing about oxidative damage if you have psoriasis, and reducing oxidative damage with antioxidants makes a lot of sense if you want to reduce the damage done to your body on a molecular level

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)

OK, so here comes some technical information you may find interesting. Some people who read this will probably “switch off”, and click to another page, whereas others will find the information most useful.Reactive oxygen species are small molecules that include oxygen ions, oxygen free radicals, and peroxides, both inorganic and organic. These molecules are highly reactive due to the presence of unpaired electrons. ROS form as a natural byproduct of the normal metabolism of oxygen and have important roles in cell signaling. However, during times of disease, exercise, or environmental stress (e.g. smoking, sunlight or heat exposure) ROS levels can increase dramatically, which can result in significant damage to cell structures. This accumulates into the situation known as oxidative stress (see above). ROS are also generated by exogenous (external) sources such as ionizing radiation.Now you know why sunlight can be damaging if you have too much of it.Cells are normally able to defend themselves against ROS damage through antioxidant enzymes (the most common are superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase), and small molecule antioxidants such as vitamin C and E, uric acid, and glutathione. Similarly, polyphenol antioxidants, the major class of antioxidants, assist in preventing ROS damage by “scavenging” free radicals.ROS have positive and negative effects on cell metabolism. Positive effects where ROS mediate functions of normal cell metabolism include the induction of host defence genes and mobilisation of ion transport systems, and roles in redox signaling. Negative effects of overproduction of ROS are implicated in many cardiovascular, inflammatory and neurological diseases. Generally, harmful effects of reactive oxygen species on the cell are most often:

Damage of DNA.
Oxidations of polydesaturated fatty acids in lipids (lipid peroxidation).
Oxidations of amino acids in proteins.
Oxidatively inactivate specific enzymes by oxidation of co-factors.

Professional Recommendations

I am fortunate to be able to travel throughout Australia, New Zealand and North America to meet up with many like-minded health-care professionals. Many have been kind enough to give me a professional recommendation. Here are some of the professional recommendations I have received from health care professionals, leaders, and various experts in the field of natural medicine and functional medicine over the years, these very same recommendations can all be found on my Linkedin page.

Professional Endorsements From Experts In Medicine

“I have pleasure in recommending and have known naturopath Eric Bakker for several years. I can vouch for his expertise in natural and integrative medicine. His many years of experience is broad and vast and he is renowned in Australia and New Zealand for his technical as well as clinical naturopathic skills helping thousands of people.

Eric is passionate about helping those with chronic illness overcome their health challenges by natural and drug-free methods, utilizing the best of science yet preferring the healing power of nature. With decades of experience, Eric is likewise passionate about teaching other practitioners these very same skills he has acquired to help them improve their own patient outcomes. His company Nutrisearch provides an excellent training service for our team of practitioners and outstanding products to help our clients through many difficult phases with chronic health conditions.

Eric is a very successful author, clinician and businessman and has the highest level of integrity. I can therefore highly recommend Eric to anybody who is interested in natural health on any level, whether to see him as a private patient or to partner with him in any natural health business.”

John Coombs Founder And Director Of Global Health Clinics-

I have known Eric Bakker for over 15 years. His influence through practicing Natural Medicine, teaching, representation and writing is beyond the area of New Zealand and Australia, where he lives and works, but throughout the world. Eric combines the rare talent of high intelligence, compassion, spirituality and practicality in all his endeavors. This has made him a successful practitioner, writer, supplement formulator and business man. I recommend Eric Bakker in any of these areas and you will find an esteemed professional. I value his collegiality, friendship and advice.”

– Dr. Joachim Fluhrer Faculty Member And Senior Lecturer At The Australaisian College Of Medical Nutrition-

“I have known Eric for a few years now and find his knowledge and experience to well surpass many in natural health. I have been lucky enough to meet with Eric regarding professional practice along with my own personal health and at our last meeting, he confirmed for me just how good he is but shining a new light on a very stuck problem. If you are in professional practice in the natural health field and have NOT made use of his role, you are missing out on a wealth of knowledge. If you are suffering a long term, unsolved health issue or simply looking for a well established, top naturopath, Eric is well worth contacting, his lateral thinking abilities are a huge asset to natural health in New Zealand, and the rest of the world.”

– Stacey Hancock. Nutritionist, Personal Trainer & Holistic Lifestyle Coach –

“I first met Eric in 2005 and since that time I have been regularly impressed with his dedication towards the promotion and practice of naturopathic medicine. A value that I always hold high in practitioners is their wish to keep learning and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the modern delivery of sustainable health care; challenging conventional practices and developing viable alternatives to symptom management, not in the lab but with real patients with real lives. Eric has personified and far exceeded this value as a practitioner. His recent commitment to print of his extensive work on candida and more recently on psoriasis is sure evidence of this. He is not afraid of the status-quo and will constantly put his head above the parapet to confront those who are afraid of change. The practice of naturopathic medicine is a demanding discipline, requiring a simultaneously broad and deep level of knowledge, coupled with the ability to deliver this information in a patient specific way to encourage and support change. Eric is one of only a few practitioners I have worked with who I can confidently say achieves this balance and this is reflected in the success of his practice internationally.”

Eric is an expert in naturopathy and is passionate about client health. I am impressed with his passion, knowledge and the care he has for his clients.
Fiona Ritchie Diploma in Beauty and Body Therapy, CIDESCO Diploma in Beauty Therapy

“I first became aware of Eric’s work over 10 years ago reading his articles in the pages of Healthy Options, New Zealand’s leading health magazine. Reading and collecting Eric’s wisdom on all aspects of health was my principle motivation for buying the magazine each month back then. I first met Eric in person when he gave a truly excellent presentation on the subject of adrenal fatigue at an AIMA meeting in 2009. Eric revealed with forensic detail the methods he uses in his clinical practice to diagnose and successfully treat this most difficult of conditions. I have kept up contact with Eric since this time and am grateful for the professional advice he has given me over the years and which I have used in my own clinical practice. Eric brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from his 25 years in practice and we, the readers of his many and well written articles and his professional clients and colleagues, are the lucky beneficiaries.
I have also benefited directly from consultations with Eric. Despite the success of the programme I teach in overcoming a lifetime of asthma and allergies I have nevertheless suffered from bouts of fatigue at times. Eric diagnosed adrenal fatigue, probably resulting from 20 years of asthma medications and countless courses of antibiotics over those years. From the advice I received and from the first consultation over a year ago my energy levels improved dramatically and this has been sustained. Naturopathy as practised by Eric Bakker is medicine of the future now”.
Glenn White BSc. MSc. MBIBH Buteyko Institute Practitioner/ Practitioner Trainer

“I’ve known Eric in his capacity as a naturopath for about 8 years. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. If I have a client who I feel needs to see a naturopath or asks if I know of one, I only refer people to Eric as I know they are in good hands, someone I can trust to be thorough and give the very best care.”
Kim Chenery Dip Acupuncture & TCM (NZ) Cert Acupuncture (China)

Eric has been a great teacher and advisor in the area of natural therapies over the years and I have a great deal of respect for his professionalism and his expertise.
Dr. Paul Butler BSc (Bio.), MBCHB., Dip. Obstetrics., FRCNZCGP. MSc. Holistic Science.

“ Eric has organized several yearly seminars on the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal fatigue in New Zealand for a large number of health professionals. He has been very helpful indeed with his expertise and his advice.”

About Eric Bakker N.D.

Why I Created The Psoriasis Program

You’re probably reading this because you’re suffering from psoriasis, or because you’ve recognized that there’s something just not right about your skin and possibly your health in general right now. While I have personally never experienced psoriasis, I’ve certainly seen over one thousand psoriasis patients in my 26 years of practice who have, because I have specialized in certain conditions that not only include Candida yest infections, but psoriasis as well.

Article of interest: natural psoriasis treatment

For years, many of my patients have suffered with poor skin, including not only symptoms like psoriatic plaques, but also low energy levels, headaches, sleeping and energy problems, indigestion, constipation and other digestive problems, food cravings, and a hold host of other health complaints, but many didn’t give up hope of one day finding an eventual cure.

Over the years I started doing research, learning everything I could about psoriasis as well as the different conditions associated with it. With the help of over one thousand psoriasis cases, plenty of investigations and countless hours of research I slowly started to work on a program for my psoriasis patients, not a “quick fix” by any means, but a permanent resolution from their terrible skin condition. I tried many different diets, many hundreds of different dietary supplements and natural skin care products until I came up with what I now call The Psoriasis Program.

So I started to design a diet program that would rid me of my patients of their psoriatic health-related problems for good. That’s how my Ultimate Psoriasis Program treatment plan was born – out of my determination to find a cure for my patient’s debilitating psoriasis symptoms, when their doctor told them that they would have to “live with it for the rest of their life” and stay with drugs and creams.

Today, I’m pleased to tell you that my psoriasis patients have never enjoyed better health. Many are very happy with their skin, they are full of energy, their embarrassing skin problems are gone, they have a feeling of health and wellbeing that many have never experienced before! Great health is something we all deserve. Life is about being active and healthy, getting out there and having fun. So if YOU have psoriasis and have tried every conceivable lotion, potion and pill out there all to no avail, why not give The Psoriasis Program a try?

Wishing you the very best of health,

Eric Bakker N.D.

Why Are You A Psoriasis Specialist?

I have been treating and specializing in different types of chronic skin conditions, including psoriasis, for over twenty years. In that time, I’ve developed an incredibly successful treatment program called The Psoriasis Program based on many successfully treated cases of psoriasis, including plaque psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, seborrheic psoriasis, as well as psoriatic arthritis.

Psoriasis is notoriously difficult to treat, and many practitioners have a tendency to treat psoriasis mainly by recommending different kinds of creams, lotions and ointments for topical application while making scant dietary recommendations, and only rarely offer lifestyle advice. You will find The Psoriasis Program to be a complete and comprehensive approach to solving the puzzle, it was designed to ensure a permanent solution to your psoriasis problem.

Are You A Naturopathic Doctor or a Medical Doctor?

I am a naturopathic doctor, based on my level of academic achievement. Patients with chronic and complex disease such as psoriasis now travel from far and wide to receive my treatment recommendations. I am not a medical doctor, in America I am known as a naturopathic doctor with my qualification level, but New Zealand and Australia only recognize chiropractors as doctors in the field of natural medicine, unless a naturopath has a PhD qualification. Ultimately, it does not matter what a practitioner is called, or at the end of the day what initials he or she has behind their name. It is the results achieved in the clinic that really count, and outstanding results are generally only ever achieved after many years of study and clinical practice in a specialty. Many of my patients travel long distances to attend our clinic in the North Island of New Zealand, others catch-up with me on Skype, or FaceTime (Mac) and many others call me on the telephone. I enjoy clinical practice and still consult with patients on a regular basis. You can always book a consultation if you wish.

What Are Your Credentials?

I am the clinical director of a New Zealand naturopathic clinic called The Naturopaths, and hold a Bachelor Degree of Science majoring in Complementary Health Care, as well as separate diploma and degree qualifications in Naturopathy, Herbal Medicine and Homeopathy. I have completed almost ten years of study and have almost 26 years of clinical experience in natural and integrative forms of medicine, and have pursued continuous post-graduate study in Australia, America, India as well as in New Zealand. I would like to believe that I have been a respected consultant to the natural medicine industry in both NZ and Australia for more than 20 years. I am the past Vice President of the NZ Natural Medicine Association and am currently on their editorial advisory board. In addition, I regularly write for the NZ Journal of Natural Medicine. I am a professional member of the: New Zealand Natural Medicine Association.

What Other Qualifications Do You Have?

In 2006, I became the technical and clinical services president of a leading NZ nutritional company called Nutrisearch, offering an exclusive range of practitioner-only nutritional supplements, including my personally developed range of doctor-only products called Naturopathsown, a small and highly researched range produced to my exacting standards. I attend the latest national and international natural and integrative medicine conferences as well as many health expos in New Zealand, Australia, Europe and in America annually to keep up with the latest science in natural medicine and trends, and have always followed the cutting edge in natural medicine.

What Are Your Credentials?

You can read much more about my background in the natural health industry, my qualifications as well as the many professional recommendations given to me by many leading health-care professionals. Go to Linkedin, or click the Linkedin icon to the left.

Why Do You Call Yourself A Writer And Natural Health Researcher?

I created naturopath.co.nz in 2007 as a resource of information for those who are looking for a safer yet effective alternative to conventional medical treatments of any chronic diseases. This extensive website contains several hundred articles on most chronic illnesses and what natural medicine has to offer. There are also many recipes you can print and diet handouts available free of charge from this website. Our website has tens of thousands of views each week, check it out yourself and you will see that I love to research and write on natural health. There are tens of thousands of hours invested here. I’ve tried to make the website navigation a snap, so enjoy.

Are You An International Lecturer?

I lecture regularly to the public, my popular public health seminars series include topics such as “Are You Heart Smart”, “The Art Of Stress Management and Adrenal Fatigue”, and “Detox To Thrive”, “Skin Deep” and “Hard To Stomach”.

In addition, I present topics at natural medicine colleges throughout Australia and NZ, as well as researching and writing for several journals, websites and health publications.I’ve been invited to speak at Wellpark College in NZ on numerous occasions, our leading provider of degree level naturopathic education.

I lecture to various medical associations such as the Australasian Integrated Medical Association, and have presented on adrenal fatigue, and will be presenting on Hashimotos thyroiditis and Candida yeast infections in August 2014 in Sydney, Australia, for their 20th Annual International Integrative Medicine Conference.

Here’s what others say about my health presentations:

“I thought it was a great seminar! Presented in a relaxed style, Eric is very knowledgeable and the complex information was presented in a way that made it very easy to understand”. Jacqui Ellingham “Thanks Eric so much for inspiring me to do better with my health ” Deb Sheard “Fantastic presentation, powerful message, most informative. I’ve learned a lot”. Jan Sotherby “It was a great learning curve”. Eric has this ability to speak with authority on natural health yet can explain complex topics with ease. My husband and I have read many of Eric’s excellent articles, he writes as well as he speaks”. Susan Cornthwaite“Highly informative with lots of simple & positive things I can take away with me to make my life less stressful. Good seminar pitched at improving my overall health”. Katrina Fovakis“I found Eric very easy to listen to and understand. A very down to earth speaker. I will be telling other people to come to his seminars. Judy Grant“Eric’s excellent presentation was a potpourri of things I have read and studied in the past and needed reminding of. However, I have never seen or known about the important connection between stress and psoriasis”. Wishing to remain anonymous“Very interesting, very knowledgeable presenter, would love to hear more from him”. Jenny Barker“I have read a lot the Eric has written – It was interesting to hear an evening’s talk of his many years of experience”. Ruth McIver“Eric has this ability to be able to explain complex medical/physiological concepts in a clear, simple and humorous way that any person can easily understand”. Chris Chaplin“These seminars are excellent, informative, encouraging, inspiring and enjoyable opportunity to learn about health and wellbeing . Eric’s seminars are life changing”. Trish Ives“Learned heaps and will definitely change my way of living and thinking. Very though provoking”. Annette McLachlan“A great speaker, lots of humor and relevant information” Pamela Rountree“Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and experiences with us” Anna Finlayson-Smith“I’d like to see you back more regularly, I enjoyed your talk tremendously” Geoff Arentsen

Why Are You A Superior Choice When It Comes To Psoriasis?

Because I have treated many patients with psoriasis spanning more than twenty years. I am a highly experienced clinician, writer and natural health research besides a top-level nutritional and herbal supplement developer. The psoriasis conditions I have treated range from plaque psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, sebborheic psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis as well as other variants of psoriasis. My comprehensive program called The Psoriasis Program will reveal why I offer a superior choice when it comes to curing your psoriasis once and for all.

How Can You Help Me With Psoriasis?

I certainly can help you by offering my vast experience in the clinic and have helped a large amount of patients presenting with many different kinds of psoriasis . The only people I can’t seem to help are those who are not interested in following my instructions! Most committed patients end up with a most satisfactory end result, usually with a permanent resolution of their psoriasis. I can offer help particularly in cases where patients have been to several health care professionals with limited, poor or even no results. My comprehensive program called The Psoriasis Program can help you, because it has helped many just like you.

What Is Your Background In Treating Psoriasis? What Got You Started?

I have always had an interest in chronic and “incurable” conditions like psoriasis. I started getting serious with treating psoriasis patients in the early 1990’s, and began to develop my own methods over a period of several years after studying over two dozen books on psoriasis. My Psoriasis Program protocol took several years to perfect and is the result of much trial and error and extensive clinical practice.

How Can You Get Me What I Need Quickly?

The Psoriasis program offers advice built around getting you results sooner rather than later, but lasting and more permanent results come to those who adopt my dietary and lifestyle methods in the long-term. While there are some quick and instant solutions offered in the Program, the Psoriasis Program was NOT designed to give you an overnight cure.

Do You Offer Superior Advice?

I believe I do, I often see patients who have been treated by many physicians (sometimes even by a dozen or more) and have treated many psoriasis patients who travel far and wide to seek out my services. I realistically believe that I have developed a high level of clinical skill in treating and achieving results with chronic psoriasis, enabling me to assist those with seemingly “incurable” psoriasis, even of many years duration.

Can You Help Me Narrow Down My Choices In Products And Other Stuff?

I certainly can, and can show you exactly what you need and when you need it, saving you time and money. In my experience, many patients who come to me with chronic psoriasis have spent TOO MUCH money on dietary supplements and special foods. The Psoriasis Program outlines in detail what you need and when you need it. Over 75% of your cure comes from adopting the right dietary and lifestyle habits and the Psoriasis Program explains all.

How Quickly Can I Take Action And Achieve My Goal To Get Rid Of My Psoriasis?

You can see results in as little as four weeks, but typically I expect patients with chronic psoriasis to begin to feel good after 8 weeks, and after 4 months (only 16 weeks) they will feel and look significantly better than they have in many years. The sooner you follow my program outlined in the Psoriasis Program, the sooner you will start feeling and looking great again.

How Can You Help Me Enjoy My Life?

I can help you really enjoy your life once again, by helping you overcome your chronic psoriasis – permanently. We are not talking about a temporary fix but a permanent solution. If you follow my Psoriasis Program carefully, you will not only cure your psoriasis, you will feel better than you have for a long time. This is what patients just like you have been telling me for years.

What Is The Difference Between What You Offer And Other Psoriasis Related Sites Or Books?

Good question. Most all other books I have purchased online myself have been written by persons with little to absolutely NO experience in treating psoriasis patients in a clinical setting like I have. These people had psoriasis, wrote a book about it and then sold the book about their experience of curing their own psoriasis. My Psoriasis program however, is based on over twenty years of treating countless psoriasis patients with all types of psoriasis and psoriasis-related conditions.

I discovered what works and what doesn’t work through sheer trial and error. You will be surprised at some of my suggestions that are different from what you have read in the conventional psoriasis books. Some books and e-books I have bought regarding psoriasis were a total waste of money, with poor advice based on no research or any clinical work.

For example, be sure to read the book in The Psoriasis Program on Functional Medicine Testing and psoriasis, this kind of information is only to be found in my Program. Why you ask? Because I have tested many psoriasis patients and worked out what the best tests are, how effective they are and if they were worth the money or not.

Who Uses Your Expertise?

Patients all over the world use my health programs, products and clinical services. Many people with psoriasis have sought me out for Skype consultations, I have many hundreds of psoriasis patients right now in America, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, several Asian countries and throughout Australia and New Zealand where I live. I even have one patient in Tahiti and three in Hawaii. All up, I have been treating patients in over 30 countries, and many have already purchased The Psoriasis Program and benefited from the information, are you going to be the next one?

What Experience Have Other Doctors Had With You?

Pretty positive I’d like to believe, I have a reputation amongst many practitioners of natural and conventional medicine in Australia and New Zealand as a being a trouble shooter when it comes to offering advice with regard to chronic complex cases of not only psoriasis, but many other chronic and complex diseases of modern society such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and many different presentations of digestive illness such as ulcerative colitis, constipation, gallbladder disease, etc. I have a particular interest in iatrogenic (pharmaceutical drug induced) illness and am fully conversant with blood and pathology based medical testing. I have worked in conjunction with medical doctors in several medical clinics for most of my career.

Can I Trust You?

I’d like to believe that you can fully trust me. My intentions are to partner with you and help you to the best of my ability in fully assisting you to overcome your psoriasis permanently. I have no interest in deception, trickery or making false promises and am only interested in outstanding results with my patients. My reputation is based on achieving the best results, nothing more or less. Please read what these professionals in natural health-care think about me: Professional Recommendations

What Are Some Details Of Your Psoriasis Program?

I have written a total of 12 books that make up The Psoriasis Program – around 700 pages of information! The Psoriasis Program is the most comprehensive one ever designed for psoriasis, and has an incredible amount of information, including identifying, diagnosing and various tests for those with psoriasis, a quick start guide, conventional medical treatment, the Psoriasis Program outlined in much detail, the Psoriasis Diet, an entire book on the best natural skin-care solutions for those with psoriasis, FAQs and appendixes, a comprehensive book on lifestyle influences, special foods, the best dietary supplements and herbs, and even a book on the best detoxification and cleansing methods.

What Fine Points Make Your Program Entirely Different Than Anything Else Already Out There?

I offer a bird’s eye view in the quick start guide on how to adopt the entire program, you will find an entire book (comprehensive) on skin-care, extensive material on diet and nutrition (over two hundred pages alone), plenty of detailed information on testing, many different (and free) home tests you can do. We even offer a separate book about the candida and psoriasis connection, as well as separate books on immunity, stress and psoriasis connection and leaky gut syndrome.

What Methods Do You Use To Get Rid Of Psoriasis?

You will need to buy The Psoriasis Program to learn all the details, but I offer a 16 week (4-month) program which is tried and tested over twenty years and countless psoriasis patients, a simple 5-step guide to permanent psoriasis eradication.

What Proof Do You Have That I Should Trust You Or Your Site Or Your Program?

You may wish to read the Testimonials page on my personal site www.naturopath.co.nz and you will discover that there are many stories from successfully treated patients with all manner of chronic complex illness going back to 1988.

Can You Guarantee That I Will Get Rid Of Psoriasis If I Follow Your Advice?

Yes, I will personally guarantee that if you follow my Psoriasis Program to the letter then you will have got rid of your psoriasis permanently. Miracles do happen, I see them happen every day in my clinic. We will refund you the price of the Psoriasis Program in full if my Program fails to deliver the results you have been looking for. But you will be one of the first ones to receive a request! I have not really had any dissatisfied clients in the many years I have seen psoriasis patients.
