This diet was developed by Lincoln College osteopath graduate John Pegano. In 1991, he published his book, The Cure for Psoriasis. According to him, psoriasis and eczema - the cause of severe skin diseases - are caused by problems in the intestines. Therefore, a special type of diet is needed.
Unlike other types of diets, it focuses on bowel cleansing. It starts with monodiet (only apples and citrus fruits are consumed) and in parallel, enterosorbents (a substance that binds toxins and removes them from the body) are taken.
After that, the diet itself begins. It is based on the coordination of acid-base balance in the body. Pegano emphasizes that acid-forming products (animal proteins, eggs, milk, seafood, cereals) should not exceed 20-30% of the daily diet. The main part of the diet should consist of products that create an alkaline environment (bar fruits and vegetables, greens).
