According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), psoriasis affects approximately 2.2% of the U.S. population and about 150,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. Approximately 7.5 million Americans are living with psoriasis. Most are diagnosed before they reach 40 years old and can be men or women. People with psoriasis, especially severe psoriasis, may be at risk for several other serious conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, over weight and obesity, diabetes, heart attacks, depression and early death. Psoriasis causes the skin to itch and brings on pain, as well as the red, scaly patches on the skin caused by plaque, pustular, guttate and flexural psoriasis on various levels. Ethnicity may be a factor, as well as genetics. Regardless, it's a disease that cannot be ignored and some research into what is the best form of treatment should be addressed promptly.

There is no known cure for psoriasis, but there are many treatments that can ease your suffering and help to clear up your skin. Patients should talk with their physicians about appropriate treatment to help manage their psoriasis. There are several prescription medications, topical creams and more that have been discussed and recognized for benefit over the years. Another option that is not as well known or talked about is the use of a water ionizer machine. The water ionizer can make extreme super waters with levels of pH and negative ORP levels which are wildly different than your ordinary tap water.

When you look at the water ionizer machine you'll see it makes alkaline ionized drinking water in many levels of pH. It'll also produce antioxidant ORP level of -200 to -800, depending on your water source. The ionizer machines make water that is both alkaline and acidic water. This combination of both waters may help to improve overall health and the irritated skin side of psoriasis as well as other rashes, acne, eczema, athlete's food and other skin diseases.

Drinking alkaline and ionized water is good for you, because it is six times more hydrating than conventional or ordinary tap water. However, this refreshing and hydrating water doesn't clear up your skin condition by itself. It is the strong acidic water with negative ORP that'll cleanse and soften your skin and bring on much positive change. Cleansing skin with acidic water and can prove beneficial to a myriad of skin conditions.

One recommendation comes from Roger Daltrey, the lead singer of the rock band, The Who. Daltrey use a water ionizer to help him with his psoriasis. He has testified to drinking the alkaline ionized water has helped with his overall well-being and cleansing with the acidic water has helped with his psoriasis skin condition. Roger Daltrey doesn't go on tour without his water ionizer.

In general as we get older it is harder to be hydrated and absorb water. If we aren't as hydrated our collagen and elasticity in our skin are reduced. Drinking water from a water ionizer will allow for an incredible increase in water absorption in the body which improves the elasticity, toning and tightness of our skin. This is the high pH levels in water from an ionizer that does the trick.

Drinking tap water has a pH of about 7.0. Our skin is normally 4.5 to 5.5. The higher pH values removes our natural lipids that keep skin healthy. If less lipids are found in skin, we lose the natural ability to expand and contract, and this manifests itself in signs of premature skin aging. Ionized water machines can be set to produce 3 or 4 levels of alkaline water and 2 to 3 levels of acidic water. So you can produce the water you need at the correct level of pH you need to keep your skin healthy and looking great. Cleaning the skin with the levels of pH 4.5 to 5.5 acts as an astringent and helps tighten the skin, firm and frees us of blemishes. Acidic water naturally reduces bacteria and this will always help with acne, large pores and dry skin, rashes, eczema, psoriasis and athlete's foot. Articles written on the alkaline vs acid balance in our bodies is highlighted in the Health and Nutrition arenas over and over. It also talks about weight loss, people getting off their high blood pressure medications and other drugs.

Working to gain alkaline vs acidic balance in our bodies has been written about in the health and nutrition arenas over and over. It also talks about weight loss, people tossing out their high blood pressure medications and other meds, feeling great and healthy. It's obviously a good ideal to consider this path, but for psoriasis you'll also need the acidic properties in water to cleanse your skin condition. You cannot easily find both waters for optimum health in any one place except through the use of a water ionizer machine. It's a important machine to consider helping one gain greater control over general good health and helping with cleansing issues for skin conditions and more.

Lean more about alkaline water benefits. Drinking alkaline water is easy with the water ionizer.

My friend and I play for a football team, we doing quite well but I was told about 10mins ago by a friend he has Athletes Foot. We got a game on Sunday I don't know much about it but will he be able to play?

Yes, he will most likely be able to play at the game. Athlete's foot is a fungus that develops in moist areas on your foot. It usually causes itching, stinging, and burning. It can spread if skin to skin contact occurs with an infected person. It is also passed on by object to human. If he wants it to go away faster he can get prescription medicines such as an oral pill or a lotion of some kind.
Tell him to:
1. keep his feet dry, especially between his toes
2. go barefoot around his house as much as possible
3. wear socks that contain a natural material such as cotton or wool
4. change socks regularly (twice a day)
5. wear light, well-ventilated shoes not rubber or vinyl
6. alternate between two pairs of shoes
7. protect his feet in public areas
8. use an anti-fungal powder daily
9. don't borrow other people's shoes

Hope this helps and I hope the athlete's foot goes away soon :]

My girlfriend has been diagnosed with Athletes Foot. The doctor told her that it can never really be cured and will always come back. And that it can be spread to other areas of the body. And that it can be transmitted from the feet to the groin area and cause Jock Itch. Now I'm worried about getting it from her. When We have sex her feet are always rubbing on my body, I usually play with her feet and give her foot massages, Sometimes I kiss her feet . Am I likely to get it maybe somewhere my body? Is it always contagious or just at certain times?

You can pick up fungus from feet try Tanactin and tell her to dry her toes well after shower or bath it can be cured I had it when I shared showers offshore and no longer have it air um out every chance she gets and epson salt soaks quit kissin um.

I have had it for about 3 months now. Its on all of my toes (top and bottom) and it smells really bad, itches and peels a lot. I have already tried Lysenol (spray kind) and the Athletes Foot cream that the store Target has in their pharmacy. Please, please, PLEASE make sure your answer is 100% sure. Does peeing on your foot work?

first make sure that it is indeed a fungus infection...see a dermatologist..in the mean time..wash thoroughly with regular soap & water...dry thoroughly!! ...use a good anti fungal cream such as tinactin brand of tolnaftate...there are many other,s but this is my favorite..they are available over the counter....wash& dry at least twice daily & reapply the cream...wash & dry hand,s & towel,s/wash rag,s ...it is contagious but washing will curtail any transfer of the fungus ...keep your feet as dry as possible..use cotton ball,s with the cream in between your toe,s & keep them in the open air as much as possible....& peeing on your feet will not work...I have gotten result,s with tolnaftate in as little as a day or so & complete cure in a week...just be sure it is in fact a fungal infection....good luck!
