FOREWORD ON FOOD/DIET ETC
We are asked continuously 'Is food important?
Answer is 'YES'.
Chronic skin problems must be fixed from the inside, meaning the RIGHT FOOD and the RIGHT MEDICINE. (one without the other generally doesn't work, in other words a person cannot simply change their eating habits and get rid of a skin problem)
Over 25 years, we have found that many foods and drinks act as triggers that exacerbate and make a skin condition worse. For this reason, we have developed a very comprehensive 'eating guide', that helps to maintain clear skin once our natural medicine is no longer required.

Follow-up testimonial from Mae Rapley.
It is now sixteen months since I had my first contact with the Psoriasis and Skin Clinic in Auckland. It was the best thing I have ever done in the battle to control my psoriasis. I have learnt so much and now live life without the constant worry of whether people can see the psoriasis on my skin. I shop for clothes now without taking in to consideration the length of sleeves, skirts etc. simply because my skin is clear of psoriasis. I can hardly believe it, as I have battled for over forty years to find the answer to controlling the crippling effects of psoriasis, and for me I found the answer. If anyone is in the place I used to be, believe me going to the clinic could well take you to where I am now, living a life feeling so free, it's amazing and wonderful. Mae Rapley, Hastings, Hawkes Bay.

OUT-OF-TOWN CONSULTATIONS
To whom it may concern,
I am keen to inform you that I have seen such a vast improvement in my skin since I have been using your products.
I was amazed that it actually has cleared nearly all the psoriasis I had on my back, ( which was particularly badly affected) and my arms.
My hands also which were very sore, red, swollen and badly peeling, have now completely healed.
This I am pleased to say, is due to your guidance in diet dos and don'ts, your marvellous cream, cleansing gel, tablets and the liquid taken internally.
The combination of all of these has given me relief from the awful scratching and irritation I felt when the psoraisis was at it's worst.
Although I still have 3 or 4 red patches on my legs, I feel that these are also getting better by the day.
My feet are greatly improved also. Both feet were swollen and red, and I could not bear any shoes on, as it was painful to walk.
I can walk as normal now, but there is still one foot that will take a little more time I feel. I am sure it will not be too long before it is completely healed, as I continue to use your advise and products.
I appreciate very much, that clinics such as yours are able to provide expert and much needed information to psoriasis sufferers, and successfully treat this awful skin condition.
You can see from the photos sent firstly to you,when it was raging, and the ones sent to you yesterday, just how your therapy has worked.
I am very grateful, and thank you sincerely.

To Whom it May Concern:
Neotigisan, Methotrexate, Nezora, steroid based creams and a host of other pharmaceutical medicines are a few things I have tried to clear up my psoriasis, which I've had for about 15 years. Add to this my GP visits, Specialist Doctors visits, Homeopathy, On-line remedies and appling de-stressing methods.... I've tried them all and spent a suitcase full of money trying to rid myself of this curse! I've felt the heartache, the embarrassment, the frustration and the pain of having psoriasis covering 80-90% of my body. I was covered with thick, scaley, red and aggressive psoriasis that educated people in the health field couldn't provide me with a reason as to why I had it, what caused it and what can rid me of it. I was resigned to the fact that as a 40 year old, I was going to be stuck with this condition for life.
It wasn't until I read an advert in the paper for the Psoriasis and Skin Clinic that I decided to have a look at their website, after all.... what did I have to lose? After reading about the clinic and doing a bit of 'homework' regarding the authenticity and reputation of the clinic, I made contact with their friendly staff. I had a phone consultation and stuck religiously to the eating and natural medicines plan that they gave me. Within 6-8 weeks my psoriasis went from cover 80-90% of my body to 5-10%. And the added bonus was that I lost 8-10kgs in the process - and I have the photos to prove i!.
I feel so much better about myself. I don't have to wear baggy long sleeve clothing and a beanie. My self confidence is back and I'm feeling better about being in public. I can even go swimming with my children now!....
I encourage anyone with psoriasis to investigate the Psoriasis clinic and try their healthy natural methods... It could change you life.

To whom it may concern,
It is with much appreciation and gratitude I write this testimonial to the psoriasis and skin clinic. Dr Tirant for his research into a cure for Psoriasis. I am a 55 year old woman who until 18 months ago had perfect skin. Within 6 months my legs stomach, lower back, elbows were covered in Psoriasis. Horrible thick scaly bleeding and very itchy patches. I tried all avenues to find a cure, useless creams steroids, pills wraps all of which were prescribed to me by a dermatologist who told me I was stuck with this for life. By chance my husband seen an add in the Sunday paper for the Psoriasis and skin clinic in Auckland. Little did I know that would be the turning point for me. The next morning I phoned the clinic for an appointment expecting to wait several weeks to get one. Much to my surprise I was told this could all be done over the phone or via email. This was great it meant I could start on with my treatment quickly and would save me the costs of flying to Auckland. After a little paper work I had my consultation with Shirley the next evening, and then I started this amazing treatment. I followed the diet and treatment religiously and noticed a difference in my skin in the first two weeks. I’ve been on the programme for 4 months and my skin has steadily progressed. I’m now 95% clear and my skin still continues to improve. I still follow the diet strictly, still using the external creams and I still take the herbal pills. I’ve made many phone calls and emailed photos of my improving skin to the clinic and I would like to thank DR Shirley and her team at the clinic for all their support and encouragement.
Thank you so much, Carolyn South Island

To whom it may concern,
Probably a lot of you reading this are thinking, is this just another scam? Well that's what I thought too, and to be honest even if I read this I would still not be convinced! But I have had my psoriasis for over 20 years and the money I have spent on Doctors, Dermatologist, Creams etc I have already wasted so much money, I decided to give this a go.
I have met many people with psoriasis far worse than mine, but mine totally depressed me. I am a social person, I love to dress up, my profession is a Beauty Therapist and I know all too well how YOU feel because that's how I felt. Your not able to be the person you used to be, or the person inside, because of sore looking flaky skin. I know there are people out there with things far worse than me, but this psoriasis was effecting my life, my confidence, my relationship with husband and my social relationships, basically it was stopping me being me.
First let me tell you, these people at the clinic are so nice to deal with, and always at the end of a phone or an email. I contacted Lindsay through email, I was prepared to fly to Auckland (again in a way I wanted to make sure they were actually there!!) but he convinced me to try sending my photo's through first and if they can help from them it would save me the flight costs. So I did. Lindsay rang me said yes the photos were good and I had a telephone appointment with Shirley two days later. Shirley was very informative, and gave me a full plan verbally and written of what I would need and how to go about my treatment.
Now the routine added about half an hour every morning and evening to my day, the diet is really strict, but I do not lie here, when I tell you I noticed a difference in 1 week. The first week I could see how the redness was going, in two weeks no more new scales and the ones I had were so much less. Now this is really what you need to keep up the routine and the diet. After what I think was about 6 weeks I was beyond happy to say all the psoriasis I had,had gone from my scalp, my arms, my legs, my back and my face. All that is left is two wee patches on my hands and a little behind my ears (my ears is where it first appeared 20+ years ago!) Almost there!!!
Now there are also added bonuses to this regime. I feel fantastic, far more energy, my confidence is certainly back, my husband apparently told Lindsay he has his wife back. Plus the weight loss on this diet is such a bonus!!! One other thing, I have always suffered with headaches at least 3 a week. Interesting to see that since I have been on this diet I have only had 1 headache and to be honest I was painting in the sun with a large 10ltr paint pot under my nose the whole day! so thank you for that too!
I am, as I said earlier a Beauty Therapist in Christchurch, I help people with their skin as a Therapist and advise them when they need medical or alternative treatment. I am thrilled to be able to spread the word about this fantastic treatment for psoriasis, and as Lindsay will confirm, I am spreading the word. Lindsay has already sent people to me, which I am more than happy to do, to show them my before photos and see me now, see that this is not a scam, it does work, it worked for me. Please if you are in Christchurch and are thinking if this is worth giving a go, please feel free to contact me, I would love for you to feel like I feel, happily normal.
Very best wishes

AUCKLAND CLINIC CONSULTATIONS
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
After living with psoriasis for 21 years, using light-ray treatment, steroid ointments and drugs, I am very pleased and amazed at how clear my skin is after only seven months using the Psoriasis and Skin Clinic treatments. I would be 95% clear now. My skin is much softer and does not tear or bruise like it used to due to using steroid ointments for too long
My skin changed right from when I started the diet, then onto using the herbal tablets and ointments a few days later. All this was done over the telephone along with photos emailed to the clinic.
With the help and encouragement from Shirley Cao, Lindsay Jarvis and the team at the Clinic, I feel I have control of the psoriasis and my life is much better for it.
At this stage of the treatment I am taking the herbal tablets and using very little ointment and conditioner. Thank you all very much.
I would recommend their treatments and diet to anyone with a skin condition they can help you with.
Yours faithfully

To Whom it may concern,
With the onset of puberty Psoriasis appeared on my scalp. Treatment in the 1950s was somewhat limited; it consisted mainly of a clear lotion prescribed by my Doctor. The lotion was effective but it really just kept the condition under limited control. As the years went by the condition manifested itself further by appearing on my legs, chest and elbows. As any Psoriasis sufferer will know, a high degree of frustration in trying to treat the condition, badly affects one’s self esteem. It limits a person’s participation in physical sports and the wearing of shorts etc.
Always living in hope of a miracle cure or that the condition would go into remission, were straws that I clutched at for many years, however worse was to come. At the age of 68 I was being treated by a specialist for another condition. I was prescribed tablets which had a hugely adverse effect on my Psoriasis and my condition became almost intolerable.
Some months ago I read in the local newspaper an advertisement by the Psoriasis & Skin Clinic under the headline “HAVE YOU TRIED EVERYTHING” – No-way I thought, after all these years one tends to become rather cynical! But, always living in hope, I did contact the Clinic and underwent a course of treatment. With my 70th Birthday approaching I can say that for the first time in my life I’m free of the symptoms of Psoriasis - and have been for several months now! For anyone contemplating contacting the Clinic, I’d urge you not to hesitate – you will be delighted with the results and will definitely have a new lease of life. Personally I can’t thank them enough.

Thank You,
My son had beautiful hair and skin up until the age of 10. He is an intelligent and intense child and after experiencing a stressful year at school, created by one particular teacher, he started to develop Psoriasis . After visiting the doctor several times and trying out different creams, which in some instances made things worse, we finally visited a dermatologist. The mild steroid cream prescribed worked miracles at first, but the effect wore off and we were unhappy using this as a long term solution. My son’s condition continued to worsen and when it started to appear in his scalp, on his elbow and knees, he became conscious of his appearance as other children made comments. We thought that we should investigate a more natural approach and started to look around for other solutions.
My husband found the advertisement in the newspaper and after having read books and articles we decided to approach the Skin and Psoriasis Clinic. I always believed that we needed to take a holistic approach to this problem and the treatment offered by the clinic seemed to meet this need.
Visiting the clinic was the beginning of the end for us. My son was fantastic and he followed the sensible diet very closely, applied the creams and took the medicine. Shirley said it would take 4 months to disappear which I thought seemed rather optimistic. However, it was exactly 4 months later that his psoriasis disappeared. I had to refer to my diary to check that I wasn’t just imagining things, but Shirley was absolutely right! My son is now 99.9% free from the dreadful psoriasis he had last year. He has only one small patch under his arm which no one can see.
I think the major trigger for my son was stress and that he will always need to keep this under control and look after his body throughout his life.
My advice to him as he grows up will be to remember Shirley, sensible diet, sunshine, salt water and a stress free life.
Thank you Shirley and your team for giving him back his beautiful skin.

UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING
At a young age of 12-years old I had a very itchy scalp. It was driving me around the bend.
Going back to the Doctor lost the count on how many times, but always getting the same answer it's Psoriasis but there is no cure and using harsh creams that just relieved the itching but did no good and going back to other referrable clinics like a yoyo.
Growing up it became worse spreading down my back on my palm of my hand, and around the back and front of knees. It’s the most uncomfortable feeling I ever had and I keep asking myself why me.
It makes you moody all you wont to do is to tear off your skin. Just when I was about to give up HOPE after having psoriasis for 19years, I looked in the local paper and saw this advertisement DON’T LOSE HOPE. I said no way, this cant be true. How come no one told me about this Clinic.That Phone Call change my life.
In the first two visits my Psoriasis was gone WOW WEE ! .
I’m a more happier person and can feel water on my head after having lumps like concrete
and no more itching and scratching.
I THANK that ad in the newspaper and the very helpful people at the Psoriasis clinic.
that changed my life.
Yours sincerely

To whom it may concern,
I have had psoriasis for over 30 years & have tried just about every conventional treatment possible . Years ago I also tried a much stronger invasive drug which required liver function testing but after a few weeks on it I felt very uncomfortable about using it so I haven't tried the more extreme drugs which are now used for severe cases.
I have worked with diets , UV light treatment with limited success, homeopathy , acupuncture & felt I had tried just about everything possible . Fortunately I saw the advertisement in the paper for the psoriasis clinic & to be honest I thought I had nothing to lose .
I have been using the psoriasis clinic's products for nearly 2 months & am absolutely amazed by the results . My skin is over 85% clear which is just fantastic & I am so grateful for the incredible improvement.
I am finding the tablets, herbal mixture & skin ointments , plus dietary recommendations manageable and I would wholeheartedly recommend the clinic for treatment to anyone who suffers from psoriasis .
Thank you very much .

To whom it may concern,
I came upon information about the Psoriasis and Skin Clinic when searching the net for something (‘please, please anything!’) that would make the patches of itchy, scaly, red skin I had been developing - on my elbows, lower legs and even on my face - go away.
I had managed some smaller patches of this psoriasis on my lower legs for a number of years with the commonly prescribed cream from my dermatologist, but I was concerned that I seemed to need it more and more and it seemed less and less effective. (which, I understand, is indeed what often happens with the long term use of steroidal treatments) So I thought I would give the treatment offered by the P and S Clinic a go.
I was warmly received and my problem carefully considered (I used their ‘at distance’ service, which was great) and the treatment regime I was given seemed to me to be appropriate from the outset. It combined daily cleansing, and the application of a special ointment with a moisturising oil for my skin and as well changes to my diet and daily herbal preparations in tablet and liquid forms.
I found that changes to my ‘patches’ occurred almost immediately and after regular daily care for a period thus far of about 12 weeks all areas of skin where I had obvious areas of psoriasis are almost completely clear. I am thrilled. It hasn’t been hard to apply the topical preparations and make the changes either. I will be continuing to use the preparations to maintain clear skin and -well- the diet changes are great healthy ones too.
Based on my experience, I thoroughly recommend the treatment offered by the Psoriasis and Skin Clinic to anyone worried about the itchy unpleasantness of psoriasis and its ‘less than pretty’ look. Not only have I found my skin is healthy and clear but I feel heaps better (and I have lost some excess weight too)

Hi my name is Lysha and I am 15 years old.
I’ve had psoriasis since I was 5. It’s been really hard having psoriasis as it dictated how I did my hair and what I wore. I could never wear my hair up as there flakes all through it and it looked horrible, and I wasn’t able to wear halter tops or bikinis as I had psoriasis on my stomach and back.
I have used many creams to try and get rid of it but none of them worked. I found out about the psoriasis clinic and thought that I might as well give it a go as I had nothing to loose and nothing else seemed to be working.
I started on the program 2 months ago and the results have been amazing!!! When I first seen the diet that I had to follow I thought that there was no way I was going to be able to do it. It was really tough to begin with but once I found out all the foods that I could still eat it made it better…well sorta.
My psoriasis is almost fully cleared up and I am looking forward to summer I will finally be able to get that bikini. This diet has worked wonders for me and if you have psoriasis I would definitely recommend this diet to you, it may seem hard at first but don’t give up the results are well worth it in the end and I would choose this lifestyle of psoriasis any day!
To whom it may concern,
I would recommend the Psorasis and Skin Clinic to anyone with Psoraisis. I had psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for about 12 years before coming across a newspaper advertisement for the clinic. I had tried all kinds of treatments including conventional medicine and alternative therapies. I had previously had some success with diet changes which got the joint pain under control but the skin treatments at best only ever provided temporary relief from symptoms. I was attracted to the approach of the Psoriasis and Skin clinic, especially the focus on combining diet and treatments so I decided to give it a try. I have been hugely impressed by the results. After just three months my skin is almost totally free of psoriasis and I have no joint pain.

Hi,
I got psoriasis two years ago and it was getting worse over time, I went to visit many doctors even in different countries and have been prescribed different medications. I almost gave up and was trying to hide the affected areas with make-up but the situation was frustrating and I was not able to wear any black shirt or dress as in 10 minutes it would be covered by all white scalpes. I tried to search in the net to find a NZ Dr to fix this, i found several medical places in the net advertising this in Auckland, it took me a week to study all these websites to make my own Judgement if these are again one of those medications which will work for one or 2 days with strong steroids and then get worse. Finally i chose this clinic and went to see Dr.Shirley. I was surprised how deeply and carefully she explained the exact symptoms and the roots of the problem, and after a week following her instruction i started feeling improvements, but it took only 6 weeks to feel much better and now 3 months have passed and I can't even see any sign from all the psoriasis which I had on my legs, hands, back and ears and my scalp.
But an important advise to anyone reading this; be sure that for good results you should combine Medication, Food Control and Exercise , otherwise you will be dissapointed. Now I belive Dr.Shirley, that you can't only fix the outside and your skin alone - you need to fix your eating and clean your inside as well,
Good Luck

To the Psoriasis and Skin Clinic from Noel Hutchinson. The attached letter recommending your approach to my particular skin problem is something I hope you can include in your list of satisfied customers.
To whom it may concern,
I have suffered for most of my adult life from a scalp and body condition, doctors call 'Seborrhoeaic dermatitis' where it takes the form of a thick crust over most of my scalp breaking out from time to time on my chest and back and face itching intensively. Various medical men have prescibed a cocktail of coal tar ointments creams, shampoos combined with cortisone medications some of which eased the condition temporarily. One fellow threw his hands in the air explaining he had 'run out of ideas' and had nothing else he could prescribe and that it would get worse with age.
I was then fortunate enough to contact the Psoriasis & Skin Clinic a few months ago after their advertisement caught my eye. What a stroke of luck. Now after a course of their natural medications,....body gel, and cream with vitamin supplements and change of diet, my condition has improved to such a degree the scalp crust has disappeared and the inflamation is going by the day. I am not a young man but after years of embarrassment and despair my life has changed. Thank-you Psoriasis & Skin Clinic...I salute you.

Dear Dr Shirley
I just wanted to write and tell you why I have not been back to see you at the Psoriasis Clinc again since my last visit several months back.
When i came to the Psoriasis Clinic I had explored all avenues and tried every cream and lotion prescribed which didn't really do much to help me. My skin was just getting worse and worse and I came to you expecting some kind of miracle. Well after three months of cream, shower gel, tablets and medicine I found my miracle. I am completely 100% psoarisis free. Even my scaly elbows which i have had for the better part of 20 years (and i'm only 38) are completely clear.
I just wanted to thank you so much for everything. I have recommended your clinic to lots of people and I only hope they have the same success I did.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!

To whom it may concern,
I am 61 years old and was first diagnosed with psoriasis when I was 14. I feel as if it has been a constant battle for all these years to find something that would help keep it under control. I have spent a lot of time and money trying to find something that would work. Some treatments have had short term success, but it was only through constant research on the internet that led me on the path to finding something that really does work.
About four months ago I was in a really bad state, I was experiencing a flare up and it was just a few weeks before setting out on holiday to Portugal, which meant swimming and spending time on the beach. Fellow sufferers will know just what I was feeling!! Anyway I logged on to a site called "Grownups" and found that there was a discussion section on Psoriasis. It was the best thing I ever did. Through one of the messages posted on the site I learnt about the Psoriasis and Skin Clinic in Auckland. By the time I was due to leave on my holiday my skin was almost totally clear, and I have some great photos on the beach in my togs playing with my grandchildren. I have learnt so much and feel that I have the power now to have control over my psoriasis, instead of it controlling my life, which it has always done in the past.
If you are looking for something that will work, contact the Clinic.
Forever grateful,
Mae Rapley,

To whom it may concern,
I have had psoriasis now for over 4 years and have tried everything without much success. Over the years, my psoriasis started to get more and more serious. I went to a number of dermatologists and they prescribed me with their various ointments and treatments. However, I did not find any success with these treatments. The patches became worse and were all over my body, including in my hair and my forehead. This was really frustrating and annoying as the skin would continuously flake. I found that my psoriasis became worse during winter time.
After giving every possible thing a go and with no success, one day a friend of mine, recommended to a book called “Natural Alternative to Psoriasis by Dr Pagano”. The book aims at taking an alternative approach and looks at changing food habits and what could be avoided that aggravates psoriasis. I did this diet and found improvements in my psoriasis. However, the process is very slow but did help quite a bit.
After few months, my husband looked at an advertisement in the paper that a clinic was going to soon open in Auckland that is going to help cure psoriasis. Initially, I really did not even consider going and spending more money as nothing really had worked so far (expect my diet control that I did by reading a book). However, my husband was a lot more optimistic than I was and decided that since we have tried everything possible under the sun why not go and give this a go.
I can truly say that this has been the best decision so far. My husband was very pro active and took an appointment for me and we went there the first day the clinic opened in Auckland (If I am not mistaken I was also the first patient on that day). Dr Shirley was more than patient, understanding and also very helpful. The diet control was also recommended by Dr Shirley and the natural creams, ointments, syrup and pills were really helpful. I found that within months most of my patches had disappeared and my skin was really coming back to being normal. I was stoked with the results and could not have been more than overjoyed with the prompt results.
To conclude, I am very pleased that a clinic is opened in Auckland and that I had an opportunity to go and cure my psoriasis. I would highly recommend anyone to go and give this place a go for their psoriasis treatment (instead of spending money with other skin specialist that do not give any results).
I therefore, take this opportunity to thank Dr Shirley and her team at the Psoriasis clinic for helping me. Also sincere thanks to Dr Tirant for undertaking research for years to find a cure for psoriasis.
At least I will no longer have the world of “Dermatologist Specialist doctors” and other people telling me that PSORIASIS IS NOT CURABLE.
Thanks once again.

Dear Psoriasis & Skin Clinic,
I had psoriasis for nearly 9 years. For the first 5 years I tried doctors and skin specialists who prescribed steriod creams and dithranol. Nothing worked. I spend hundreds of dollars on alternative therapies. I also tried aromatherapy creams, etc, etc. I went on a special liver cleansing diet.. That didn't work either. Then I just gave up trying and I had to cover my arms and legs - even during summer time when everyone else was enjoying the warm summer air. My self confidence and social life suffered as I did not feel much like going out or even to go swimming with my children.
My skin is now clear thanks to your product!! Thank you for giving me my life back.

To whom it may concern,
I first discovered I had PSORIASIS about 4 to 5 years ago. I had one small patch on an elbow. After time I started to get it on my other elbow then on my knee’s. This is when I first went to the Doctor to get some help and was shocked to be told that there was no cure for it and that I would more than likely have it for the rest of my life. I was given some cream and sent away.
Well the cream didn’t help and my psoriasis continued to get worse as I continued to go back to the Doctor to be given different creams and ointments but still nothing would help. I then went to a specialist to be given another topical treatment to try and again told that it could not be cured and I would just have to manage it as best as I could.
By this time I had it all over me, on my arms, legs, back, stomach , ears and a small amount on my scalp. I was sick to death of the continual scales that where all over me and was now at the stage that I was getting embarrassed about how it looked.
Out of the blue I saw an advertisement in the local paper about a new Psoriasis Clinic opening in Auckland and thought that it was probably another one of these haves that would take your money and give you some witches brew that wouldn’t work. I was so desperate that I went along thinking that I had nothing to lose other than some money.
Well what luck it was that I saw that advertisement as I have been on their treatment for approximately 3 to 4 months now and although in the beginning I thought the diet and treatment was so rigid that I would not be able to follow it I have been surprised by the quick results which have in turn given me the determination necessary to continue on with the treatment and have been able to relax and modify my diet regime. My scaley patches have gone, I can’t believe how clear and psoriasis free my skin is.
Thank you Dr Shirley and the team at the Psoriasis Clinic and I would like to say to anyone with this condition to give it a go you have nothing to lose and probably a lot to gain.

Australian Testimonials
I am a psoriasis sufferer. During the last 22 years I have tried everything without success. In consequence of various conservative-type treatments, the psoriasis became more and more serious. As a by-effect of the steroids administered to me, with no limits set, arthralgia and deformation set in, along with serious limitations of movement, which made the use of a walking support frame necessary and three years ago led to my disability status. Not to speak of the mental difficulties. Because my skin deformations, of course, can be noticed, social contacts and partnership relationships became difficult and disturbed and limits entertainment visits and last but not least, influenced my daily work.
And then, when I had nothing to hope for any more, by the grace of fate I met an Australian Research Doctor, Dr. Michael Tirant, who encouraged me to participate in his treatment protocols in Australia. He promised to try everything in his power to reduce my symptoms.
Very well, I thought….but how to get to Australia? My income over the last 20 years was spent on various medications.
A colleague of mine suggested to visit a foundation called “Extraordinary Medication Foundation by OKGT support. I did this and took my Doctors certificate and the recommendation from my Skin Specialist to them…..and see wonders of wonders, the foundation approved my treatment in Australia.
For three long months I maintained external treatments using cleansing gels, ointments and hydration essences together with the internal taking of herbal capsules and tablets, supplemented by a strict diet and supported on a mental level. And look at the results. It is truly a wonder! I can walk without using any support or stick. My skin is nearly faultless. My general condition is radient. I see the marvels of the world again. I am FREE! I am HEALTHY! Is it not a true wonder?
I thank the foundation for assisting me to go on this healing journey! I thank all my colleagues and friends, who assisted me. I thank Dr. Tirant for the healing work he did on me and I also mention myself too. Dr Tirant showed me how to activate the healing force sleeping within me. I was able to recreate this balanced state and HEALTH.

“I have suffered from psoriasis for almost 30 years. For most of the time it was only of nuisance value & was kept in check with all sorts of prescribed corticosteroids. About two years ago my psoriasis became dramatically worse until I had several large “geographic” patches on my body, including my back, legs & elbows (which were cracked and sore).
As a person who spends a considerable amount of time in outdoor activities - running, cycling & swimming this was devastating. I went to several dermatologists who once again prescribed – Diprosone, Diavonex & Neotigason etc. When questioned as to whether diet may have been a factor, each time this was dismissed. As time went on I became more depressed which was probably not helping the condition.
About ten months ago I was reading an article about your treatment in my wife’s Womens Day, little did I know that this was to be the turning point in my life at that time. I visited your Sydney Clinic (Moree who I found to be very patient & who’s presence is very calming) and from that point I followed the treatment absolutely religiously. Without going into the detail, I am absolutely pleased to say that, apart from some very faint scarring, I am absolutely clear. If I was to stand naked in front of someone they would never know I suffered with the condition.
I still follow the treatment fairly rigorously, however, I allow myself to lash out a bit on the weekends.
You have my undying thanks”

“Just a quick note that is long overdue to give you and update on the psoratic condition that I had.
My skin has completely cleared up with not a trace left on the pink scaly skin that I have had for nearly 20 years. Life is much more pleasant especially not having to dust the scales out of bed each morning. I have gotten a bit complacent and my scalp is a little itchy and so I will start up the treatment again on that.
I would like to thank you so very much again for your help and with a bit of luck will not see you again for a number of years. I am hoping to get that much of a reprieve.
I wish you all the best with the clinics overseas, your work makes life better for so many people”.
BF Victoria Australia, 2003
“Thanks for your fantastic creams and for your research into skin problems.
I cant imagine what I would have done without your treatment after my psoriasis flared up so much after giving birth.
Thanks for your God-given talent and for really caring about your patients. That is what makes you so different from the others. That and your brilliant formulas and advice”

"I am writing to express my gratitude about your ointment which has been invented (imported) recently.
I have been using your products for my psoriasis problems since August 2002. I have suffered from this illness for ten years, since I was 49 years old. This treatment was a miracle as within a few weeks the cure has been 100%.
I would like to say a big thank you from such a big distance for this as I have always thought that nothing can cure my illness any more”.

“Four years ago my wife (who is Hungarian born) and I visited her relatives in the town Sim…..nya. There we met a relative – K. J. He was suffering from a painful skin condition which had kept recurring yearly for the past 20 years.
At the time he was being treated with Cortisone injections. However, while these gave him temporary relief from the pain and the skin seemed to partially heal, the problem kept recurring. The period of recurrence was shortening to months, with each following condition more painful than the last. He appeared to be suffering from a non-contagious skin condition that I believed to be psoriasis.
After we returned to Australia, the medical profession restricted his Cortisone intake. This left him with many months of irritation and pain between injections.
Early this year, he contacted us in Australia to say that he’d seen an Australian doctor on Hungarian television who had a satisfactory treatment for this condition. We were able to contact your treatment through the Miranda Skin Clinic – Moree…….Sydney Australia. She gave me a consultation where she outlined the symptoms and causes of this condition. I was shown the gel and ointment treatment, given a specific diet regime, advised of the necessary vitamins and trace elements required to reverse the imbalance of the patient’s system. This information was translated and sent to Sim…….nya, along with the Ointment, Gel and Vitamins.
The patient’s condition flared after being subdued by a Cortisone injection some four or five weeks previously. Then the Gel and Ointment were applied daily as per directions, the patient commenced a diet as reasonably close to the regime as possible (given the traditional Hungarian culture), and a course of vitamins and trace elements were commenced.
After two weeks of wash and ointment treatment the affected areas showed an improvement and after some forty days the condition had disappeared. (Time was assessed by the vitamin tablet use). As at the date of this memo – sixty days after commencing treatment – the condition shows no indications of recurrence.
The treatment works. The treatment is more satisfactory than Cortisone in terms of pain relief and insidious side effects.
Our thanks to you for solving this long standing and vexatious problem”.

“Hi Miracle Man, Every doctor, clinic doctor and cosmetic surgeon that I have seen about my Melasma told me garbage. Some gave me useless creams, others told me I was stuck with my problem for life. I eventually scoured the web and all the information there was equally disappointing.
Your promise that I would see results with your cream in one month seemed too good to be true. I am delighted to say that your treatment/cream was spot on!
After two months my Melasma is 70% gone and continues to improve. No doubt it has been a challenging road for you to develop a treatment for this condition which many in your profession say is untreatable.
I want to thank you for creating this cream and would be more than happy to put my name as a testimonial should you wish me to. I am over the moon with my improvement”

(Melasma is an acquired light- or dark brown pigmentation that occurs in the exposed areas, most often of the face and results from exposure to sun-light, may be associated with pregnancy, with ingestion of contraceptive hormones or other medications).
“I write this testimonial as I have been extremely pleased with the results.
When I attended the Clinic some 9 months ago I was very sceptical, thinking that this would be another treatment that would only give me temporary relief….. Dr Tirant explained what would have triggered the problem and gave me a list of foods to remove from my diet. There are still some foods that I miss but have found that I can have a small sample on the very odd occasion. I continue to drink lots of water and try and walk every day.
My psoriasis has almost cleared from my body and head. On the odd occasion I have a small amount under the nails but that doesn’t bother me.
The stress of having to wear any uniform for work does not bother me at all now and I find I can wear dark clothing without having to worry about flaking. I do feel a lot healthier and try not to take everything on board as I used to.
I have recommended Dr Tirant to many people who also have had great results.”

“I would like to thank you and Moree for helping me to get rid of my psoriasis problem.
I was suicidal and have low self esteem with myself before. I don’t like to do outdoor activities like going swimming, or anything that’s got to do to show my skin. I was covered with the horrible psoriasis except my face and have tried everything in the Chemist but none of them works for long term.
I’ve read you ad and make an appointment with Moree, I was very emotional, I cried and beg to Moree to please help me. She was very attentive and very supportive with me, she explained to me everything what to do. After two weeks my psoriasis start to cleared up, after a month, I was wearing backless clothes and start to show off my arms and my legs. I have never been so happy in my life, before all I do is hide myself from everybody worried that they might ask me out and I don’t have anything to wear, but now I’m the one asking them.
Dr Michael, I can’t thank you enough, words is just not enough for my to express my gratitudes. Without you and your miracle cream and pills everything would still be impossible for me. May God speed you in what ever you want to achieve in your life. And please do not stop helping people like me with the same condition.
And once again thank you very, very much from the bottom of my heart.”

Written to another Dr. In Sydney with a copy to Dr. Tirant via Moree Coburn, Consulting Practitioner.
“You may recall that I was a patient of yours in June this year when I was diagnosed with acute Guttate Psoriasis to 90% of my body. This condition came on very suddenly – literally I woke up one morning covered in psoriasis with no indication or evidence of its impending onset. Given the severity of my condition, I was highly distressed to learn that this condition could be chronic.
I’m writing to share with you my experience as far as treatment is concerned. After trying unsuccessfully the prescribed tar ointment, tar based shampoos, steroid creams and wet wraps daily, you may recall referring me to a specialist for further treatment. After you had explained what this medical treatment could entail, I was less and less convinced it could be of assistance given the nature of psoriasis, which in my view is directly linked to physical, but even more so emotional stress. I researched the condition further on the internet. To my surprise, there was a site called the Psoriasis & Skin Clinic, based in Melbourne but with an office here in Sydney.
This Clinic offers a wholistic approach based on Eastern Medicine in dealing with psoriasis. They explore such things as diet, vitamin intake, emotional trauma which needs addressing, as well as offering an ointment and cleanser for the skin. The site itself has several case histories documenting patients who had received treatment and their response. The success of the treatment appeared to be outstanding – and very exciting for me given my condition at the time.
I commenced my treatment with the clinic in August 2000, approximately 8 weeks after its initial onset and four weeks after the cessation of my pure “medical” treatment. In order to deal with the condition as effectively as possible, I also took 5 weeks off work. It was not until the last week of that period of leave that I discovered the Skin & Psoriasis Clinic. Right through my time off work, the condition had not improved, and in fact had started to deteriorate even further. The psoriasis spread onto my hands and feet; the only remaining unaffected parts of my body aside from my face.
By mid October, approximately two months after starting treatment, I was almost completely cured of any visible symptoms of guttate psoriasis. To this day, I have just 3 or 4 spots remaining on my legs, which are in the process of fading like the others.
To say I am thrilled is an understatement. Any person who has suffered the physical and emotional impact of psoriasis would understand what a great hope an opportunity such as this might present.
I felt it was appropriate for me to share this experience with you, in the hopes that you my present this as an option aside from western medical treatment for your future patients. I would encourage you to visit the website www.psoriasis.com.au to read for yourself the foundation and history of this treatment. Clinical trials and “before & after” cases are well documented on this site.
I would be more than happy to talk further to you abouth this should you desire.

"How can I ever thank you enough as after suffering with psoriasis for over 30 years and going to endless doctors and specialists and getting no relief. After six weeks of following your eating guide lines as well as using your cream twice a day it has all but disappeared. If I didn't see it I would never have believed it. To think I have lived with it for so many years and it caused my family not to mention myself so much suffering in not being able to do just what we wanted when we wanted, I an amazed at the results, even if I wasn't too thrilled about the spinach in the beginning!!!
Thanking you once again."

“It is with great appreciation that I write this letter describing my skin condition and the role you have played in healing it. I have had psoriasis since I was 14 years old. I am now 61. For many years the condition was limited to patches on the scalp, elbows and knees and was contained by the use of a specific over-the-counter tar shampoo. However, when that particular product was taken off the market about 10 years ago the scaling on my scalp became severe and no other product helped. Sun helped remove any scales on my body, but it was harder to get the sun on my scalp. Once I even shaved my head, pretty extreme for a woman, but it worked. The scales on my head disappeared with the suntan but returned when my hair grew back.
Then six years ago I was severely struck down with Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Probably it had been developing for some time. My psoriasis went wild. Already it had spread to 100% of my scalp and was very thick and intensely itchy. I could not stop picking the scales off, leaving large flakes on my shoulders, in my hair and on the backs of chairs. I was severely distressed by this, but there was no treatment that worked. I refused to take cortisone, because of terrible side effects experienced in the past by others and myself. In any case, cortisone was not always effective. Even worse was the fact that the sun now, instead of helping made it worse.
Eventually the spots of psoriasis on my shins merged to become huge patches from ankle to knee and 80% on my body had some spots which were increasing and looked like they would start merging into patches as well. I discussed with my naturopath that I had hear 2 nd and 3 rd hand about a psoriasis cure developed by Dr. Tirant. My naturopath, who is a highly respected researcher, author and lecturer, was very wary, telling me that psoriasis is one of the most intractable diseases known and that in all her research and practice she had never come across such a cure, particularly one that effective in the long term.
That delayed my seeking out your clinic for more than a year. Eventually I became so desperate I tracked you down and on November 17 th 1998 we had our first consultation. I was deeply impressed by your manner and the pure simplicity and common sense of the treatment you offered. After many years of therapy and self-development work I felt I knew myself pretty well and was impressed with how quickly you had me “pegged”. You understood my personality, my way of thinking and functioning, my tendencies, fears and hopes. It was clear to me that you grasped very well the relationship between body and mind in the healing process.
Your “prescription” recommendations for diet change were easy to follow and did not give a feeling of too much restriction or limitation. However it is notable that the few foods I was asked not to eat were the ones that I had habituated to eating daily. Your medications, the special cream and cleanser were pleasant and easy to use. Your advice on the mental and emotional aspects of the skin problem was also easy to understand and apply. I appreciated that you were available for support consultation by phone.
Within 10 days my psoriasis was 80% gone. Within 2 weeks it had been reduced to three of four small spots. Even my scalp, which had not been clear of patches for over 30 years and had been completely covered in thick scales for at least 5 years, only retained a couple of small spots. I had developed another skin problem, a very minor breakout of whiteheads which you also treated. That disappeared quickly and has never returned.
Of course, with psoriasis, it’s the test of time that really counts. It has been two years now and my psoriasis remains limited to a very few small spots which flair up depending on how far from the “prescription” of diet and mental/emotional balancing I stray. I can eat any and all of the previously prohibited foods in small to moderate quantities. When I eat too much of them, or stray away from my balancing practices too long, or experience a relapse of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, then there is a flair up of psoriasis which I can immediately remedy by applying your “prescription” and medications.
I deliberately haven’t used exclamation points in this letter because the amazing results speak for themselves. My naturopath now recommends your clinic to other psoriasis sufferers she encounters. When I see people with psoriasis I want to rush up to them, give them your card and urge them to see you. Of course that’s not always appropriate. However, whenever there is an opportunity I tell people, whether they have psoriasis or not, about you and your extraordinary capacity to heal psoriasis.I have often told you how much I appreciate your skill, knowledge and care. Now, at last it’s in writing”.

“I have suffered from psoriasis for 42 years and during this time I have tried all possible remedies with no success. I had heard Dr. Tirant speak at the Psoriasis Self Help Group and whilst I was sceptical I still decided to try his treatment.
To my amazement within a couple of weeks my skin cleared up and has remainso to this day. I am very happy with the results and highly recommend the cream to any other sufferer of psoriasis. My skin has continued to remain free of blemishes three years on from my initial consultation with Dr. Tirant.”

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the wonderful results and relief I have gained in using your scalp and body ointment.
Despite the use of conventional treatments with coal tar and cortisone cream over a two year period, my pustular psoriasis was progressively getting worse. In addition to the extreme physical discomfort, my hands and feet were a constant embarrassment. The first application of the cream brought instant relief and I had the first night of undisturbed sleep for a long time. Within days the visible improvement was miraculous. My hands are now "clean" and my feet are almost back to normal.
In adopting a holistic and natural approach to dealing with my psoriasis in addressing the "triggers" I have gained in a healthier lifestyle and a new peace of mind. On the basis of my personal experience, I have no hesitation in warmly endorsing the treatment to psoriasis suffers. The relief to be gained is immeasurable.
Once again, please accept my sincere thanks for the successful treatment of my condition and for the on-going research into psoriasis and the triggers aggravating the condition."

“In September I brought my son M.B. aged 2, for a consultation. He had been having his skin problems for then, 13 months. We had tried so many different creams, lotions, diets and drugs but with no solution. My reasoning in coming to you was because he then had a 6 week wait to see his Dermatologist, Mr. H. and he was so irritable. We had had him under a Naturopath for 7 weeks, drinking all kinds of terrible thins and taking herbal tablets, but he was not better – if anything he was worse. I then wondered whether M. had been misdiagnosed, maybe it was psoriasis not eczema. In one visit you diagnosed him with eczema, told me not to give him nuts, mushrooms, tomatoes, red meat and Vit. C tablets which was the complete opposite to what the Naturopath had said. You may remember I was a little annoyed at the contrasting diets and hesitant to buy your Scalp and Body Ointment. You told me to use it for two weeks, no charge, and come back and see you, in which time I would only be too happy to pay for it.
We did come back in two weeks, almost completely cleared. M. is so much happier in himself. He is no longer itchy, he can wear shoes again after being in thongs for 4 months and doesn’t have to drink anything awful. M now knows that every ni9ght with his dinner, he has to eat a little spinach, bok choy or broccoli to “keep the spots away”.
As parents, we cannot thank you enough for solving our problem and making M. happy again – not irritable”.

“For some six months I had a psoriasis condition of eight of my fingers together with hardening, thickening and splitting of the skin on my heels.Of the two treatments received prior to visiting you, no permanent improvement occurred. I decided to seek your advice, after sighting your advertisement in the Herald Sun. Your questions regarding triggers in my food and drink intakes indicated a build up of acid in my body.
After 6 weeks of treatment with your Gel, Ointment and adjusting of my diet, the psoriasis has almost completely disappeared from my hands and my heels are now normal. I wish to thank you for your advice and trust my testimony will be useful to others with like condition”.

“After only four months, my severe psoriasis condition has, remarkably, almost disappeared. I must admit, when I first walked into Dr. Tirant’s office, I was not overly hopeful for much, or any improvement! Having spent a total of six weeks in hospital over a period of six or even years, all the while being treated by a dermatologist who was using the full gambit of pills and various treatment – to no avail. Any wonder my expectations were low?However, I followed Dr. Tirant’s procedures faithfully – results were slow at first, but small signs of improvement began to show, and today I am enjoying the freedom from the debilitating and painful effects of psoriasis.
Thanks Dr Tirant. I am delighted to sincerely endorse your methods and treatment.”
