Yeast that collects in the folds of the intestinal villi（肠绒毛） (due to overly acidic pH levels that result from eating too many yeast-laden foods, especially sugar and white flour products, or from overuse of antibiotics) can change from normal, beneficial yeast into fun- gal yeast.

This is best done by avoiding the foods that basically caused the problem—too many carbohydrates and sugars—and instead consume foods that help correct the problem—olive oil and garlic, as well as plain, organic yogurt with live cultures—and the chances of recovery are greatly enhanced.

It is slightly more prevalent（流行） in women than in men.

In a normal state of health, one is hardly cognizant of the lungs. Indeed, it has been said that when you are aware of your lungs, you are already in trouble!

you cannot have continued feelings of hatred without developing stomach or liver problems. Negative emotions such as uncontrollable anger or jealousy can cause digestive or heart disor- ders. Animosity and worrying can lead only to further distressful sys- temic conditions. Thoughts most assuredly affect the internal envi- ronment of the body. This is now fully accepted and recognized by the scientific community

You should learn to recognize and appreciate the cheerful aspects of life and avoid negative situations and personalities, referred to colloquially as “real downers.” A sunny, smiling countenance goes a long way, not only for yourself but for those around you.

I encourage my patients to participate in noncontact sports such as tennis, badminton, golf, jogging (moderately), walking, and swim- ming. Contact sports should be avoided because psoriatics have a sensitive dermal layer of the skin.

chapter 6: Diet and Nutrition Basics

two of the major restricted items of my regimens diet, red meat and tomatoes.

the daily diet should consist of 80 per- cent alkaline-forming foods and 20 percent acid-forming foods, or, to state it more simply, many more alkaline- than acid-forming foods should be consumed.

It is obviously mandatory to learn which foods are alkaline and which are acid, as well as which should be avoided altogether, such as the nightshades and most saturated fats and sweets.

碱性食物和酸性食物

The alkaline formers are the lighter, watery-type foods that are more eas- ily digested, such as fruits and vegetables. The acid formers are the heavier, protein foods, such as meats and grains,

Strawberries, citrus fruits, and citrus juices should be avoided in cases of psoriatic arthritis and eczema, or if there is a hypersen- sitive reaction.
