Overcoming a health issue

Ross experienced health issues in his early 30’s and developed a case of psoriasis, a skin condition of red, scaly spots mostly on his lower legs. The spots spread on his hands, arms and head during flare-ups. After years of medical advice and several medications that were unsuccessful, Ross was advised that the ‘disease’ is incurable.

Ross was beginning to lack self-esteem. One day he went to a public event on a humid day where he noticed people eyeballing his legs and making comments, and he felt the depression hit him again. Enough was enough. 

Ross researched the causes of skin conditions and discovered the core issue. Next, he researched natural remedies that can assist the issue. He discovered apple cider vinegar in its raw form helped balance the acidity of the body. The spots disappeared in a few months and Ross was delighted to wear shorts again. He was really excited that he could fix and manage the issue himself with medicinal foods based on his research. His skin has improved since, and so has his mental health.

The experience helped Ross understand how people’s feelings can be affected by physical health issues which can have an impact on their mental health.
