Featured Story: Psoriasis Patient With Hashimoto’s Thyroid Disease
J. Fowler, from FL, has a female friend from KY who had a psoriasis flare up at the bottom of her feet due to stress and had difficulty walking as a result. Her dermatologist said nothing could be done except for steroids or other prescription drugs. The friend went to Rosarito, Mexico to see Dr. C. Franco, MD at Sanoviv, a functional medical clinic. Dr. Chi has been to the Sanoviv hospital 3 times within the past 10 years and taught all the hospital staff (including over 10 MDs) his fingernail and tongue analysis methods and use of the herbal supplements. (Pictures 1a-b) After extensive testing she found out she has Hashimoto’s disease. Dr. Franco gave her Myomin, Autocin, and Relaxin, and she noticed an improvement within the first week (Pictures 2a-b). For the next 2 months her foot was completely clear and her thyroid symptoms had significantly improved as well. Her new doctor in KY said he wasn’t comfortable with her taking the herbs, so she stopped and within a couple of weeks her psoriasis returned. She also had trouble sleeping and experienced gloominess and hot flashes. Since then she has started taking the products again and not only is her foot clearing up, she’s feeling much better as well.

Half and Half Nails is One Symptom of Autoimmune Disease
L. Mitchell, RN from IL, is a 54 y/o/f with severe psoriasis for one year. Each of her nails show a half white, half pink pattern, referred to as Terry’s nails, which is one symptom of autoimmune disease (Picture 3c). She was on 5 different medications for blood pressure and each one she took gave her a bad skin reaction (Pictures 3a-b). She also used a steroid cream for 9 months and didn’t experience any improvement. In March 2015, she started taking Autocin, Myomin, Oxypower, and Angiostop at 2 capsules, 3 times a day each. After one week she started noticing an improvement and didn’t experience any itching and by the second week her lesions did not break out. By the end of one month, her skin cleared up and after two months of taking the Chi products, a drastic improvement is shown in Pictures 4a-b. Three months later her symptoms are under control and she’s still continuing to take the products.

Psoriasis is a TH1 Dominant Disease
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that affects between 2-4% of the US population. It causes skin cells to multiply too rapidly and is characterized by the eruption of reddish, silvery-scaled bumps and lesions that form on the elbows, knees, scalp, and trunk. The thymus gland produces T cells, and T cells produce two kinds of cytokines, TH1 (T-helper Type 1) and TH2 (T-helper Type 2). In autoimmune diseases, the immune system is overactive and may trigger disease by destroying normal cells. Risk factors may include genetic, hormonal, and environmental disruptions, and trigger factors include stress and estrogen. The upper part of Figure 1 demonstrates how normal cytokines activate T cells by attaching to T cell receptor sites, and this makes T cells propagate more cytokines. This imbalance of cytokines can lead to autoimmune disease, so Psoricaid and Autocin blocks cytokines from attaching to T cell receptor sites (Figure 1, lower part). Psoriasis can occur when the thymus produces excess TH1 cytokines such as IL-1, IL-2, and TNFα that induce inflammation. Although psoriasis is difficult to treat, successful therapies can alleviate the symptoms and reduce the frequency of flareups. Those with psoriasis are also at risk for liver cirrhosis and heart disease due to the side effects of the medication people take for it. |
Protocol for Psoriasis: Psoricaid/Autocin, Relaxin, Angiostop
Psoricaid: inhibits TH1 cytokine inflammatory factors such as TNFα, IL-1,IL-2, and IL-6 that are over-expressed in psoriasis and other autoimmune conditions (Reference: Pharmacology 1998; 56:187-195). Psoricaid prevents the cytokines from binding to their receptors, interrupting the cytokine release cycle that triggers inflammation. It is also recommended for rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, Crohn’s disease, coronary artery disease, and ulcerative colitis. If the desired response is not achieved within a month of taking it, then switch to Autocin.
Figure 2 demonstrates that mice that are given Psoricaid have the most reduced production of TNFα (Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha) compared to the groups of mice given Celebrex. Celebrex is an anti-inflammatory, TNFα and Cox-2 inhibitor drug that is used to treat pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. In 2005 the FDA ordered Pfizer, the manufacturer of Celebrex, to revise the warning labels on the boxes advising users of serious side effects such as stroke, heart attack and gastrointestinal bleeding. Psoricaid is good for psoriasis patients who have to reduce both TNFα and IL-1.

Autocin: regulates both TH1 and TH2 cytokines to reduce inflammation and is stronger than Psoricaid for broad spectrum autoimmune diseases. For TH1 it inhibits over production of IL-1 and TNFα in macrophages. For TH2 it reduces IL-4 over-expression in eczema. Autocin also reduces lymphocyte proliferation and over- excretion of antibodies in autoimmune conditions.
Relaxin: stress and anxiety can trigger psoriasis outbreaks, so taking Relaxin can enhance GABA receptor activity and calm the skin. GABA is a neurotransmitter that has anti-stress and relaxing effects.
Angiostop: recommended for severe cases of psoriasis. It is an angiogenesis inhibitor that reduces the expression of the vascular endothelial growth factor, which is over-expressed in psoriasis and also triggers inflammation. Angiogenesis increases the replication of skin cells- a normal life cycle of a skin cell is about 30 days, whereas in psoriasis, cells replicate every couple of days, which can cause scaling. Cytokines increase TNFα, causing skin cells to die off and leading to overproduction of new skin cells. |
A Successful Case: 45 Years of Psoriasis
Dr. F. Akbarpour, MD from CA, has a 51 y/o/m patient who has had chronic psoriasis. In 2006, he had a severe outbreak and couldn’t find any relief despite the methods he tried (Picture 5). After a month on Autocin, his psoriasis improved greatly, and it almost completely cleared. He said that in the 45 years that he’s had this condition, this is the first time he’s seen this much improvement.

Psoriasis can Lead to Liver Cirrhosis, Heart Disease, and Psoriatic Arthritis, Especially for Patients Who Take Prescription Drugs
S.L., a 55 y/o/m patient from FL has psoriasis and has lesions all over his head and upper body (Pictures 6a-b). He was also taking 11 different medications for hypertension, GERD (reflux), and ulcerative colitis. These included: Remicade, Prednisone, Balsalazide Disodium, Potassium Chloride, Clobetasol, Azathioprine, Sulfamethoxazole, Omeprazole, Amlodipine Besylate, Lisinopril, and Metoprolol. His skin lesions were from psoriasis and drug reactions. Dr. Chi recommended that he consult with his physician to reduce the number of medications he takes to avoid drug reactions such as serious liver and heart problems, and to detoxify through a whole body bath using Bathdetox powder. Those with psoriasis have fragile livers and if they take prescription drugs for psoriasis, they are at risk for liver cirrhosis. Many people think that liver problems can cause psoriasis but that is incorrect; in fact, psoriasis can lead to liver cirrhosis.
Most psoriasis patients often have more than one autoimmune disease. This psoriasis patient S.L. not only has hypertension but also has GERD and ulcerative colitis (another autoimmune disease). In our first case study for J. Fowler, the female patient had Hashimoto’s thyroid disease in addition to psoriasis. Women are more likely than men to develop autoimmune diseases at a rate of 9:1 for thyroid conditions, 3:1 for rheumatoid arthritis, and 97:3 for lupus, because autoimmune diseases are estrogen dominant and women have higher estrogen than men.

Summary
To prevent outbreaks of psoriasis, Dr. Chi recommends avoiding foods that contain any estrogen, soy or gluten. He also encourages vacations to de-stress and to spend more time in the sun.
Psoricaid: take for mild to moderate autoimmune disorders such as psoriasis, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis. Switch to Autocin if the desired response is not achieved within a month.
Autocin: use for more serious autoimmune conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus.
Relaxin: reduces stress and anxiety that can cause flare ups of psoriasis.
Angiostop: an angiogenesis inhibitor. Use with Autocin for severe autoimmune conditions.
Whole Skin: helps sooth the skin and speed up healing of ulcers and lesions.
Myomin: those who have autoimmune diseases need to reduce estrogen, and Myomin blocks the conversion from testosterone into estradiol, which reduces inflammation in the body.
