Psoriasis Experiment
AI in the Fight Against Psoriasis
This experiment began recently — in May 2025. Now, as summer ends, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what we’ve achieved over the past few months.
The Purpose of This Experiment
Before its rebranding, VeilStack was involved in research on artificial intelligence in medicine. This experiment was passed down to us and quickly sparked interest among many users.
Our goal? To defeat psoriasis once and for all — using discipline, self-education, and the help of AI — while relying only on accessible and budget-friendly treatment methods.
Important Disclaimer: AI Is Not a Doctor
If you're considering repeating this experiment, please read this carefully:
Using AI in medical treatment can be dangerous. Never rely 100% on AI — or on a single doctor, for that matter. First and foremost, you must educate yourself about psoriasis: understand how different treatments affect your skin, whether it’s a cream, diet, or sun exposure.
Also, remember: AI has no concept of medical confidentiality. We do not recommend sharing sensitive personal health data with public AI tools. In this article, we’ll share what we used and how — but without revealing private details.
Our Approach
Use AI to search and verify treatment methods.
Analyze data and predict possible outcomes.
Cross-check results using multiple AI models, not just one.
The same goes for doctors. During this experiment, we encountered several incompetent specialists who didn’t know how to treat psoriasis effectively. That’s why we temporarily stepped away from conventional medical care.
Our advice? Choose doctors with proven experience — ones who can show real cases of patients who’ve fully recovered.
Quick Update: The Experiment Is Working
The results so far are very promising. We’ve achieved stable remission, and many psoriatic lesions have completely disappeared.
Now, let’s dive into the details.
Stage 1: Preparation — Understanding the Triggers
There is no single cause or cure for psoriasis. After analyzing dozens of patient stories, we identified the most common triggers — each unique, but often overlapping.
1. Genetics
Psoriasis often runs in families. In my case, one parent has it. But genetics ≠ destiny. Having a family history doesn’t guarantee you’ll get it — it’s just one risk factor among many.
2. Stress
Many patients report that psoriasis first appeared or worsened after intense stress, burnout, or depression. The mind-skin connection is real: emotional strain can trigger or worsen inflammation.
3. General Health (Especially Gut Health)
Hidden health issues — especially gastrointestinal problems like SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) or chronic gastritis — were common in patient histories. These conditions often go unnoticed for years, only to be discovered later as key contributors.
4. Parasites and Bacteria
Certain infections, like giardiasis (Giardia lamblia), are linked to psoriasis flare-ups. If left untreated, they can create chronic inflammation and trigger autoimmune responses.
5. Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies
Patients with psoriasis often lack key nutrients that regulate immunity and skin repair.
Common Deficiencies:
Vitamin D ("sun vitamin"): Crucial for immune regulation. Deficiency is widespread, especially in winter.
Omega-3 fatty acids: Powerful anti-inflammatory agents.
Zinc: Supports skin healing and immune function.
Selenium: Reduces oxidative stress.
B vitamins (B6, B9, B12): Affect skin health and nervous system function.
Magnesium: Often low in people with chronic stress or gut issues.
In my case, blood tests confirmed low vitamin D, zinc deficiency, and signs of magnesium shortage. After correcting these, I noticed clear improvements in skin condition and overall well-being.
The Patient: Me
This experiment is being conducted on me — the author. I’m 18 years old, and I seem to have almost every known trigger for psoriasis. That makes my case a powerful test for a comprehensive, root-cause approach.
My Triggers:
Genetics: One parent has psoriasis.
Chronic stress: Frequent emotional strain during childhood and adolescence.
Gut issues: Diagnosed with:
Cardia insufficiency
Distal catarrhal esophagitis
Duodenogastric reflux
Atrophic gastritis
Parasites: Giardiasis (confirmed and treated).
Nutrient deficiencies: Low vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium.
I’m a living example of how multiple factors can stack up, creating a perfect storm for chronic illness. That’s why standard treatments (like steroid creams) only gave temporary relief.
Real progress began only when we addressed the root causes — parasites, gut health, stress, and nutrient balance — using AI to guide our decisions.
Stage 2: Lifestyle Change and Treatment
Once we identified the triggers, we moved to active treatment — a mix of lifestyle changes and medical interventions.
1. Isolation and Mental Reset
I lacked peace and quiet. So, I entered a voluntary isolation period — minimal social contact, no digital noise, no stress.
Results:
Emotional balance was restored.
I focused on self-education (especially IT and personal growth).
My body finally got a chance to heal.
This wasn’t complete social withdrawal — just a reset to stabilize my mental state.
2. Eliminating Stress Triggers
Stress is a major psoriasis trigger.
How we did it:
Set firm boundaries with stressful people and situations. In extreme cases, I cut contact.
Used self-suggestion: “Stress is harmful — avoid it.”
Listened to calming music daily.
Result: Within 1–2 weeks, anxiety dropped significantly. My body began to “calm down” — the first sign that inflammation was slowing.
3. Treating Internal Triggers: The Parasite Protocol
We prioritized giardiasis — a known trigger for autoimmune reactions.
Why?
No psoriasis until age 14–15.
Gut issues started around that age.
Psoriasis appeared at 17–18 — years after the infection likely began.
Treatment:
A 1-month course of anti-parasitic medication, guided by AI analysis and medical research.
Result:
Giardia was suppressed within 1–2 months.
No follow-up tests yet, but I plan to confirm eradication.
If symptoms return — immediate re-treatment.
Key insight: Eliminating the parasite was a turning point. Skin improvement began right after.
4. Topical Treatment: Creams and Ointments
Once internal stability improved, we targeted skin lesions directly.
Used:
Belosalik (salicylic acid + betamethasone): Daily treatment for all affected areas.
Dermovate (clobetasol cream): Stronger steroid, used only on large plaques (2 on legs, 1–3 on scalp).
Application:
First 2 weeks: Apply Belosalik every morning — leave on all day, do not wash off.
By week 3: First signs of remission — less scaling, redness, and itching.
Results:
One leg lesion completely disappeared.
Second leg: Significant improvement, only partial remaining.
Scalp: Noticeable reduction (we shaved the head — much more effective).
5. Maintenance Therapy
After remission, we switched to a gentler routine:
Belosalik and Dermovate: Only used episodically — at first signs of relapse (e.g., itching), about once a week for a month.
Replaced with:
Zincap(Цинокап) (zinc pyrithione): Safe for long-term use, keeps skin clear.
Vitamins and supplements: To correct deficiencies (D, zinc, omega-3, magnesium).
6. Diet: Balanced, Not Restrictive
No extreme diets. I ate like a healthy person, with smart adjustments:
Removed completely: Sugar and sweets — they fuel inflammation.
Limited: Fatty, spicy, fast food — only occasionally.
Included: Vegetables, proteins, grains, fruits, dairy (if tolerated).
Bottom line: Conscious eating helped maintain remission — even without a “miracle diet.”
Stage 3: “Heavy Artillery” — Sunlight Therapy
This was our riskiest step. Sun exposure can worsen psoriasis in some people (Koebner phenomenon). We approached it with caution.
Until July, we maintained stability with diet, sleep, and creams. Then, in July, we tested natural sunlight.
🔍 Critical Note: UV Lamps ≠ Sunlight I previously had weekly UV therapy at a clinic — minimal results. Research shows natural sunlight is different: it contains a broader spectrum (UV-A, UV-B, visible light), which may be more effective.
What We Did:
Controlled sun exposure on moderate lesions (mainly legs).
I hadn’t sunbathed in years — skin response was unpredictable.
Sessions: 15–20 minutes, before and after 10 AM, no sunburns.
Results:
🌞 This was the most effective treatment of the entire experiment.
Within a week: major improvement.
7–10 days after: lesions completely gone.
Arms: ~80% cleared — needs more time and sessions.
Conclusion: When used correctly (no burns, gradual exposure, safe hours), sunlight is a powerful natural tool against psoriasis.
Stage 4: Repeat and Reinforce
In August, we’ll repeat Stage 3 to:
Lock in remission.
Test how sustainable the results are.
See if sunlight can become a long-term maintenance method.
Updates and final results will be published in winter, when we’ll know how long remission lasts without active treatment.
What We Achieved in 3 Months:
Eliminated giardiasis — a key internal trigger.
Achieved stable remission — most skin lesions gone or greatly reduced.
Changed lifestyle — calmer, more disciplined, with exercise and self-education.
Established maintenance therapy — Zincap, vitamins, diet control.
Proved the power of natural sunlight — the most effective single treatment.
🔧 What’s Next?
Prepare for winter
Maintain vitamin D (with blood tests).
Consider broad-spectrum UV lamps (not standard clinic models).
Keep stress low, sleep regular.
Treat remaining gut issues
Chronic gastritis and reflux remain.
Goal: Full GI evaluation, proper treatment, and microbiome restoration.
Healthy gut = healthy immune system = lower relapse risk.
Message to fellow psoriasis patients:
Don’t give up. Psoriasis is tough — but not a life sentence. If nothing works, keep searching. Keep learning. Keep experimenting. Everyone’s path is different — diet, mindset, parasites, vitamins… The key is never to stop trying.
We believe that in the coming years, medicine and technology (including AI) will help us cure psoriasis for good. Until then — stay strong, be kind to yourself, and believe in healing. 💛
