ORIGINAL DIARY NOTES MADE THIS DAY:

Frustrated cause my nail progress seems to be getting worse again. Knees are almost fully broken out and I had them clear for about a year. What's different? Stress? Maybe. Drank shakes. Weather is warmer. I averaged my program score out over the past 8 days and I'm only at a 66 eight day average. I really need to get this number closer to 100. in perspective then I have been failing my program, this could be why I am seeing progress regress. Today I'm going to get some ocean water, take it home and apply it with a sponge twice a day to see if I get any kind of results. Surfing has always seemed to help but I don't have time so I'll try and take the ocean home with me. My wife thinks I'm crazy. Maybe I am.

HIND-SIGHT COMMENTARY:

Reading this now I am saddened by the desperation in my writing. This was one of the moments when you wished I could just jump out of my skin, when I was so desperate was willing to try anything. Anything at all. I did get the salt water from the ocean that day, bottled it and put it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. I tried applying it to the left side of my body Psoriasis lesions twice a day. after about 4 days there was no difference at all so I gave up. Natural saltwater application as a heal...I don't think so. I can't say that the ocean can't help but I don't think it's the water alone.
