969  PSORIASIS AND STRESS
I am interested in any information regarding stress and psoriasis,
especially, but not limited to, how stress affects treatment.  Any
references would be appreciated.

ANSWER BY NANCY APPLETON, PHD

My research shows that psoriasis causes a toxic liver.  You might check 
a health food store for a detox program.  Then you must deal with what 
caused the toxic liver.  One of the problems can be allergy to foods.
Stress can cause you to become allergic to foods.  Stress could have 
started the problem but it them became a food allergy problem.  Do not 
eat when you are stressed and find out what you are allergic to.  For 
more research on this problem read LICK THE SUGAR HABIT,
