Hello,

I'm intrigued by your blog and e-books and started a retinol/carotene elimination diet 10 days ago

My symptoms are not severe at this time but I feel a slight improvement with lower levels of inflammation especially in the morning.

Some of my earliest childhood memories are itching and burning skin from eczema and psoriasis. These conditions disappeared in my teens and reappeared a few years ago in my mid-thirties. My family always ate a diet rich in retinol and carotenes (eggs, cheese, liver, vegetables, pumpkins, fish, even snails, traditional french and german cuisine) and other fat soluble vitamins. I was vaccinated to the max and rarely had a fever.

Daily full body sunlight exposure and short regular UV and IR radiation in the wintertime has helped me tremendously lowering the severity of psoriasis and eczema in recent years. UV and IR/red light radiation are a recommended treatment for psoriasis.

Sunlight exposure seems to influence many health outcomes positively

I'm curious if this is only because of the effect of destroying  and balancing surplus fat-soluble vitamins in subcutaneous fat or if even more factors are at play.

UVB is the main way the body synthesizes and balances vitamin D

Besides getting way more vitamins, fewer infections most people are also exposing their skin less and less to sunlight.

I will continue the retinol/carotene elimination diet and hopefully report positive results in a few months.

Best wishes
