According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, psoriasis affects 7.5 million people in the United States (NPF, 2012). The condition doesn’t consider how many people know your name or how many Twitter followers you have. It doesn’t go on hold while you’re taping your show or on stage dancing/singing.

It’s an autoimmune disease that does what it wants unless you do something about it. Many celebrities have dealt with the disease while remaining in the public eye, maintaining a positive outlook, and having a successful career.

Models like CariDee English who recently was the winner of the television show America’s Next Top Model. She has dealt with psoriasis since childhood. Like other celebrities with the condition, CariDee has channeled her success and influence to spread awareness about the disease. She’s even published photos of the itchy plaques that were taken during a flare-up to show that it affects people from all walks of life.

There are prescription drugs to help but now there is a natural way of dealing with it… 100% Pure Virgin Organic Coconut Oil by Edible Haven. It has been found to be an excellent natural treatment for relieving psoriasis. A common recommendation is to take 2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil each day. It can either be consumed directly from the spoon, or you can mix it into a fruit smoothie, sauté vegetables with it, or use it as a replacement for butter when eating pancakes. Another option is to apply coconut oil topically onto the affected area 3 times per day.
