Michael Duffy aged 14
Double European Championship Silver Medallist in Show Jumping.
“I first noticed an itchy rash on my feet in February 09 and thought “Oh my God what is this”? Then my Mom looked at it and said that I had psoriasis which she had suffered from herself for years as a young woman. It was very embarrassing whenever I was at soccer training with the other lads especially in the changing rooms, or whenever my friends were going off swimming in Wierden horse show in Holland in May when we were show jumping there.
I was so upset by this because I felt like a freak and stayed away from everyone else, that I made my mom promise me that it would be gone before I was to compete for Ireland in the European Championships in July in Belgium. She organised the NuTron Advanced programme for me and I have to say the first two or three weeks it was not easy for me to stick to but when I saw the sores first of all getting angry then die down in colour it kept my hopes up that it was getting better. Mom assured me it was but it would take time.
After two months or so it had completely disappeared to my delight and I know that I did nothing else other than changed the things I ate and stayed off Tea which was on my red list. It was so worth it because now I am not a freak when I am with my friends anymore. Thank God for the NuTron Advanced programme because now I can completely control the psoriasis’. If I feel like eating rubbish again or go off the rails, all I have to do is think of how I used to be and that will never happen to me again!!"
