Fwiw: The article actually suggests that Psoriasis, (and IMHO, by extension, potentially autoimmune disease in general), are associated with liver dysfunction, driven by bowel disease.
The research and resulting protocol is inspired by an earlier Hungarian study in 2003 [1] that was able to seemingly cure psoriasis in 79% of its 500 test subjects. We don't know for sure; but 2 years later, 58% were still in complete remission. To be clear, that's a completely unheard-of result in psoriasis research.
All current, "mainstream" forms of treatment for psoriasis only treat the symptoms, not the cause. Even the newest, most advanced immune-suppressing biologics are merely stupid off buttons for the signaling misfiring that causes the superficial symptoms; meanwhile, psoriasis sufferers have much-higher-than-average incidences of cancer, liver disease, heart disease, IBD and so on. Treatments only keep the skin/joint symptoms at bay, and require the patient to continue taking the drugs, which tend to stop working after a while.
Pretty excited about this direction in psoriasis research.

"...nine cycles of whole-body hyperthermia (target body core temperature, 38.5 degrees C; duration, 50 min)... caused a significant reduction of all cytokines by 40-50%"

I started the protocol outlined in Dr. Ely's paper recently. It seems to have reduced my symptoms somewhat, but it's too early to tell for sure.
