Lichen Planus

What are common symtoms of lichen planus?
• Blue-white spots or "pimples"
• Lacy-looking lesions
• Lesions or painful ulcers
• Mouth lesions on gums, tongue, cheek or lips
• Tender or painful (mild cases may have no discomfort)

What commonly causes lichen planus?

• ANTIBIOTICS: are the primary cause of fungal infestations. This is because all antibiotics are, themselves, derived from powerful fungal toxins and encourage the growth of ALL fungi in the body.
  
  
• Dental Metal sensitivities
• Food sensitivities
• Pharmaceutical drugs
• Poor Nutrition
• Stress

What therapy is available for lichen planus?
• Food Therapy: Eliminate the food sensitivities, usually grains and dairy. The SAD (Standard American Diet) is rich in processed foods and deficient in the basic essential nutrients needed to properly manage the biochemical processes inside our cells.
  
  
• Best Choice - Immune-building nutrients: We are what we eat. Look at the root of the problem. Start with food first. Eat lots of foods abundant in antioxidants - mostly berries, organic fruits and vegetables. Compliment with quality protein and fats: grass fed beef, wild caught fish, butter, nuts, olive oil.
