Healing Psoriasis; Healing Tonsillitis

All Stop Psoriasil

There are two subjects addressed in this question from a visitor to Ask a Healer, the skin condition known as psoriasis and tonsillitis. This health information is educational in nature and not intended to replace medical advice or attention. If you came here looking for effective psoriasis formulas, here is information on the types of psoriasis and treatment options. Just looking for help with tonsillitus? then you can bypass the info on psoriasis and jump directly to part one of the section on healing tonsillitis.

Tonsillitis and Psoriasis Health Care Information
Question on health care and healing:
I had a very bad case of tonsillitis when I was seven and then I developed psoriasis. I used to have it all over my body. Although it is bad on my face now, it is a lot better than it used to be. It is taking a very long time to get it out of my system. Is there a spiritual message here?

Healing facilitation response:
When I was in school, I had a friend who had psoriasis. I know how difficult that must have been for her during those tender teen-age years. It must have also been difficult for you, contracting this particular skin condition at such an early age.

I'm glad there is more awareness about skin conditions such as psoriasis. Did you know August is psoriasis awareness month? (ps. it was August when I received this email so I was just acknowledging the synchronicity.)

Yes, I believe there is spiritual significance to everything we manifest but those conditions that are considered lifelong and incurable have special significance. First, though, I'll provide some medical information and health care suggestions.

Important FAQ's about Psoriasis:
* Psoriasis is not contagious
* Current medical opinion is that this is a lifelong condition, something a person will have for the rest of their lives
* As high as 1/3 of the people who have psoriasis may also develop a related condition called psoriatic arthritis
* The cause of psoriasis is unknown but it is believed that genetics is a factor
* Psoriasis cannot offically be diagnosed by any particular medical test
* There is no single remedy for this condition that works for every person
* There is more than one type of psoriasis. The most common is called plaque but other types include Guttate (causes small dot-like lesions), Pustular (causes prounounced scaling and lesions that weep), Inverse (causes intense inflammation), and Erythrodermic (causes intense shedding and redness of the skin)

Healing facilitation response on tonsillitis: Way back when I was a little girl, if a person had recurrent strep throat or tonsillitis, the cure was to have the tonsils removed. I regret that this happened to me and I urge you to pursue every other option if throat infections are a health concern, before having yours removed because tonsils filter bacteria and I believe they are important to keep, if at all possible.

I would look at your life at age 7, when the tonsillitis developed and search out what communication may have gotten suppressed at that time. In healing the child within, it is important to give expression in some way to that which has been denied. In all my work with child abuse victims (and I'm not saying you are one but that the timing is something to look at) the abuse almost always seemed to occur around either age four or age seven. One of the most common impacts of abuse is communication

Journaling is good to help get in touch with what you really need to say. Also speaking aloud, as if you were the child within, finally saying what they needed to say back then. Just getting it out can free up energy that may still be unknowingly blocked. If you have had abuse, it will be important to go further. I would suggest finding a healer who specializes in inner child work.

What is Tonsillitis?
Tonsillitis, while not the only reason for a sore throat, is a common reason the throat may hurt. It is caused by inflammation to the tonsils, usually due to either a viral or bacterial infection.

I believe most colds, flus, ear aches and sore throats could be minimized or even entirely stopped in their tracks before becoming debilitating, if a person would simply become more aware of the onset of symptoms.

Because our body is such a exquisite machine, and it starts sending out warnings immediately with the slightest threat to homeostasis, many people do not even notice the first warning. Many colds flu, and tonsillitis episodes could be avoided if the earliest warning signs were heeded. Find out about more pre-symptoms and symptoms below.
