Psoriasis. But are we sure you can't solve it without drugs? Autohemotherapy and sodium hypochlorite of the Ruffini method

Those who live with psoriasis know perfectly that it is not a simple skin disorder. The reddened plaques, desquamation and that incessant itching represent in fact only the tip of the iceberg of a much deeper condition, which ends up affecting the quality of life, social relations and even self-esteem of those who suffer.

It often happens to feel uncomfortable because of these skin lesions or to read it in the eyes of our interlocutor. Yet it is essential to remember that psoriasis is not absolutely contagious. Rather, it is a chronic inflammatory pathology that can occur at any age and which, still today, is one of the most ardent and unresolved challenges for modern dermatology.

Scientific research shows us how at the base of everything there is an alteration of the immune system where some cells become excessively active by sending signals that accelerate the production of those of the skin generating a cell turnover so fast to form the typical plaques covered by whitish scales and although the exact causes were not entirely clarified and the genetic predisposition plays an undoubted role is not the only factor in play since stress metabolic imbalances or

In recent years, researchers have begun to consider psoriasis not only as a skin problem, but as a real systemic inflammatory condition. It is not uncommon for patients to face other problems, such as arthritis, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hypertension or various cardiovascular disorders.

If, on the one hand, official medicine today has numerous therapeutic tools, including corticosteroid creams, vitamin D derivatives, phototherapy and biological medicines, on the other, there is an aspect that continues to fuel the debate. Psoriasis is a considerable economic weight both for patients and for the National Health Service. Some Italian estimates have calculated that the overall impact of the disease can reach approximately €2.4 billion per year, considering drugs, specialist visits, hospitals, health care and loss of work productivity. In addition, for moderate and severe cases, the average annual cost per patient has been estimated at over 8,000 euros, with even higher figures in the most severe forms.

Despite the enormous economic investments and advances obtained from pharmacological research, many patients continue to live with periodic reacuttions of the disease and, in some cases, with unwanted effects related to therapies. It is precisely this situation that has led many people to seek different or complementary approaches to those traditionally proposed by conventional dermatology. Precisely for this reason, many people continue to look with interest at paths other than those proposed by conventional dermatology. Among these, one of those who is taking foot today is theautoemotherapy, a practice that consists in taking a small amount of venous blood of the patient and reinjecting it immediately intramuscularly, generally in the gluteus.

This method, as many will know, is not at all recent. Its origins date back to the early decades of the twentieth century and, over the years, has been used by numerous doctors for various diseases, especially dermatological. Among the main historical promoters is often remembered the German surgeon August Bier, who at the beginning of the last century observed how the re-injected blood could stimulate particular biological reactions of the organism. Later, the methodical found application in several European and South American countries, especially before the advent of antibiotics and modern immunomodulatory drugs.

According to Dr. Moura (the Brazilian doctor who made it known to the world before the internet came), the reinjected blood of autohemotherapy is recognized by the body as an element to be removed, determining the activation of some components of the immune system, in particular macrophages, cells involved in the processes of defense, cleanliness and regulation of inflammation. Precisely this possible immunomodulating effect is the basis of the interest that methodical continues to arouse today.

In the stop, as in other Italian realities, in recent times are reported evidence of people who claim to have obtained significant improvements in psoriasis after a few months of autoemotherapy practiced regularly.
It usually takes 5-6 months depending on the severity of the problem.

Another approach proposed for psoriasis is employment of sodium hypochlorite according to the Ruffini method. This method provides for psoriasis the application of a 14% hypochlorite solution directly on the affected part, to leave in pose for about 45 seconds, before washing abundantly with running water. The procedure is generally repeated once a day for more consecutive days.

I can personally testify to its use because, a decade ago, I suffered from a form of stress psoriasis located behind the elbows. After a few days of treatment according to this method, the problem has disappeared and, in the following years, has no longer been presented.
But I must admit that it is difficult to attribute the result obtained to one factor. In my case, in fact, for about three years I regularly submit to weekly sessions of autohemotherapy and have long maintained high levels of vitamin D3, monitored through periodic examinations. These are elements that, according to some researchers and several doctors oriented to integrated medicine, could contribute to the proper functioning of the immune system and to the maintenance of the overall balance of the organism.

As for sodium hypochlorite, Dr. Ruffini described his clinical experience in the book "Curarsi con la candeggina", in which he reports numerous cases related to different dermatological problems. The author argues that this approach can be useful in many skin conditions; however, such statements have not been confirmed by extensively controlled clinical studies and therefore are not part of the therapies recognized by official medicine.

In light of these considerations, I believe that the improvement achieved in my case may have been favoured by the combined action of several factors: the local treatment with sodium hypochlorite, periodic sessions of autohemotherapy and the maintenance of high levels of vitamin D3 over the years.
A tip...
If you have this problem, why not try to make this solution from irresistible costs?
Sometimes complex issues have simple solutions that are not brought to light only and exclusively for economic interests.
Today’s disease is a business, often the solution is there but we can’t find it... let’s make a reason!
