What the authors write

Ewa Dąbrowska

Fasting may support the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

„A vegetable-and-fruit fast may support the treatment of many autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, cirrhosis of the liver, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and allergies (e.g. asthma, eczema).”Post warzywno-owocowy może wspomagać leczenie wielu chorób autoimmunologicznych, takich jak Hashimoto, reumatoidalne zapalenie stawów, toczeń rumieniowaty, stwardnienie rozsiane, marskość wątroby, łuszczyca, atopowe zapalenie skóry czy alergie (np. astma, egzema).

Psoriasis lesions may recede after one fasting cycle, and symptoms of atopic dermatitis may ease or disappear.

„Psoriasis Skin lesions often recede after just one fasting cycle, even after the disease has lasted for many years. Continuing to eat a diet based on unprocessed plant foods and avoiding foods that a person cannot tolerate are key. Atopic dermatitis Fasting eases itching, redness, and skin cracking. It often leads to the lesions disappearing and the skin’s condition improving.”Łuszczyca Zmiany skórne często cofają się już po jednym cyklu postu, nawet po wielu latach trwania choroby. Kluczowa jest dalsza dieta oparta na nieprzetworzonych roślinach i wykluczenie nietolerowanych pokarmów. Atopowe zapalenie skóry Post łagodzi świąd, zaczerwienienie i pękanie skóry. Często prowadzi do ustąpienia zmian i poprawy kondycji skóry.

For atopic dermatitis, fasting may ease symptoms, and identifying and eliminating foods that a person cannot tolerate is important.

„Atopic dermatitis Fasting eases itching, redness, and skin cracking. It often leads to the lesions disappearing and the skin’s condition improving. Identifying and eliminating food intolerances is also important. Fasting supports the immune system. At first, during fasting, leukocytosis decreases and dysfunctional cells are destroyed. In later stages, however, the number of stem cells increases, rebuilding a healthy, functional immune system.”Atopowe zapalenie skóry Post łagodzi świąd, zaczerwienienie i pękanie skóry. Często prowadzi do ustąpienia zmian i poprawy kondycji skóry. Ważne jest również wykrycie i eliminacja nietolerancji pokarmowych. Post wspiera odporność. Początkowo podczas postu obniża się leukocytoza, są niszczone komórki niesprawne, ale w dalszych etapach zwiększa się ilość komórek macierzystych, z których odbudowuje nowy, sprawny układ odpornościowy.

A vegetable-and-fruit diet may improve skin condition, and cleansing the intestines is also said to help with eczema.

„A vegetable-and-fruit diet can improve the condition of our skin, but in fact, first and foremost, it improves the functioning of our intestines. Sometimes we may think we have a skin disease, when paradoxically we actually have an intestinal disease. Imagine that human skin, with a surface area of 1.5 square meters, is an important organ for detoxification.”Dieta warzywno-owocowa jest w stanie poprawić stan naszej skóry, ale tak naprawdę w pierwszym rzędzie poprawia ona funkcjonowanie naszych jelit. Czasami możMaj 2019 na myśleć, że mamy choroby skóry, a tymczasem paradoksalnie mamy chorobę jelit. Proszę wyobrazić sobie, że skóra człowieka, mierząca 1,5 metra kwadratowego powierzchni, stanowi ważny narząd odtruwania.

Ewa Dąbrowska describes acne vulgaris and rosacea clearing up, and people with psoriasis and atopic dermatitis improving after fasting.

„I was greatly impressed by how many people recovered from conditions such as psoriasis, scleroderma, and atopic dermatitis after fasting, but food intolerance must first be ruled out. I also witnessed acne clearing up after a diet, both acne vulgaris and rosacea. Just remember that a healing crisis can sometimes occur, in the form of a more intense skin breakout.”Byłam pod wielkim wrażeniem, jak wiele było wyzdrowień np. z łuszczycy, twardziny skórnej czy atopowego zapalenia skóry po poście, ale najpierw trzeba wykluczyć nietolerancję. Byłam też świadkiem ustąpienia po diecie trądziku, zarówno zwykłego, jak i różowatego. Trzeba tylko pamiętać, że czasem może wystąpić kryzys ozdrowieńczy w postaci natężonego wysypu skórnego.

Fasting may support the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis by reducing inflammation and helping restore immune balance.

„Autoimmune and infectious diseases A vegetable-and-fruit fast may support the treatment of many autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, cirrhosis of the liver, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and allergies (e.g. asthma, eczema).”Choroby autoimmunologiczne i infekcyjnePost warzywno-owocowy może wspomagać leczenie wielu chorób autoimmunologicznych, takich jak Hashimoto, reumatoidalne zapalenie stawów, toczeń rumieniowaty, stwardnienie rozsiane, marskość wątroby, łuszczyca, atopowe zapalenie skóry czy alergie (np. astma, egzema).

Research from PubMed · Europe PMC

We selected 2 studies with the best, positive results. This is a selection, not a full review of all research.

Total number of studies on this topic in PubMed: 1.

The study found no significant association between a vegetarian diet and psoriasis, acne, or atopic dermatitis.

Aim of the study: Inflammatory skin diseases, including acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis, have become a major global public health concern. Diet’s impact on inflammatory skin diseases has attracted significant attention. This study used the Mendelian randomization (MR) method to investigate the relationship between popular diets, such as low-calorie, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets, and several common inflammatory skin diseases.

Results: The results revealed a positive causal relationship between low-calorie diets and the risk of psoriatic arthritis (odds ratio [OR]: 1.05; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01–1.10; p = 0.008), but no significant association with other diseases. No significant association was observed between vegetarian or gluten-free diets and the diseases. The reliability of the conclusion was further validated through MR-Egger regression and MR-PRESSO analysis. This study offers preliminary insights into the links between diet and inflammatory skin conditions. Future large-scale, multi-method research is needed to validate these findings and inform dietary recommendations.

The review suggests that a plant-based diet may support improvement in inflammatory skin diseases, but does not prove that it treats them.

Aim of the study: Dietary patterns have been shown to worsen or alleviate several dermatological diseases. A well-balanced, plant-based diet is known to have anti-inflammatory, probiotic, and antioxidant properties, along with weight-loss-promoting effects.

Results: Our findings demonstrate that plant-based foods may improve inflammatory skin diseases by supporting the gut microbiome, exerting anti-inflammatory effects, supporting the skin barrier, and improving glycemic control. With the proper education, there is an abundance of plant-based food sources or supplements that contain riboflavin, vitamin B12, vitamin A, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein, thereby reducing the risk of nutritional deficiencies. Thus, a plant-based diet may have therapeutic potential in dermatology. Despite the available evidence, there are few clinical studies focused specifically on plant-based diets and dermatological conditions, and further research is warranted.
