Can psoriasis be a symptom of a nut allergy?

What do you think of nuts on a raw food diet?

No, it doesn't look like it...check these out:

It's hard to find raw nuts or nut butter anymore. I consume some nut butter daily, probably too much! For me it works, but I don't digest well if I have too much or eat a meal based on nuts.

Swimmer, that article on psoriasis points towards to an auto-immune reaction. This is exactly what happens in alergies, the food provokes an auto immune response.

Yes, psoriasis can be a symptom of a nut allergy, although it can be caused by a fungus. You will know if it gets progressively worse upon further nut consumption. Don't give yourself anaphylaxis!

I do better with them in moderation.

Even ch**se & m*** (free range of course) digest better than nuts as do grains (except wheat).

Eating just fruit & vegetables is not going to be satisfying for most people though.

I'd say eating 70% raw fruits & vegetables with 30% cooked whole foods is probably better than eating 50% fruit + veg & 50% nuts. Some people are lucky and can manage to do nuts in moderation. For me it's challenging.

the cheese and milk would digest better for certain people, if the person was not lacking in the digestive enzyme; also the products would probably have to be raw to digest better then nuts, so they practically "digest themselves" haha
