Firstly, there's the whole insulin/sugar theory promoted by Archael:http://www.talkpsoriasis.org/showthread.php?t=39171
Secondly, there's a correlation between diabetes and psoriasis, as well as a german study Archael linked that found 88% of psoriasis subjects had hyperinsulimia.
Thirdly, there's a lot of studies pointing to candida as a cause for psoriasis. Controlling sugar intake will starve candida and help eliminate it from your system.
Fourthly, if you look at the profile of diets that have had success, there's a strong profile of low-sugar diets. Typical raw-food vegetarian diets are fairly heavy on fruit intake. However, the Pagano diet, for instance, emphasizes vegetables over fruits.
Fifthly, there is anecdotal evidence from people who have said that fruit juice seems to stimulate their psoriasis.
Sixthly, green vegetables are alkalinizing, whereas fruit juices are not, and some may even be acidizing. Pagano stresses the importance of the alkaline-acid ratio of the diet, and imo, keeping a strong alkaline-acid ratio is one of the most difficult things to do on his diet. It's easy to restrict foods out of the diet, much harder to say you can eat nuts and grains, but only in a very limited amount at such and such ratio to greens and other alkaline-forming foods. I know I couldn't observe his suggeted 3:1 ratio when I was on his diet.
Seventhly, there are anecdotal reports of people who have juiced heavily and/or juice-feasted with fruit juices and have not cleared. The blog mentioned is one of them. It seems you're another.
Honestly, I may be going a bit too extreme in my restrictions of one beet, one carrot, and one apple a day, but I'd rather clear and reintroduce than struggle to clear.
