Looking for a cure for psoriasis?
As far as personal experiance goes my uncle has some places on like his knees and his dr said to go to the tanning bed, no joke the tanning bed. There is a web site that has cream u can purchase for temp relif. I hope this helps.
Reply:Unfortunately, there is no cure for it, you can only treat the symptoms. Dermarest, a shampoo, and lotion can be found at drug stores, Walmart, etc. It's in a white bottle with purple and maroon writing on it. My daughter has psoriasis and it helps better than the prescription medicine. Good luck.

Reply:If you have the inherited form there may be no cure. It is usually treated with steroidal creams like hydrocortisone or triamcinolone and antibiotics.

Reply:I had psoriasis when i was around 10 and my mom used an old home remedy and washed my hair in listerine (yes the mouth wash) just pour it on your dry hair and soak it in real good massage it for about 2 minutes and then wash as normal i did this twice a week for about a month maybe two and mine went away i am 33 now and havent had it since.
Reply:To help your skin on a daily basis you need to look at prevention. All disorders are caused by something. For dietary needs make sure that you take a good omega 3 fish oil supplement (flax if you are vegetarian). Fish oils can help with the following; Mood, joints, cognitive thinking, inflamation, immune system, and hair skin and nail health. If you are deficient it could take several months to notice a change in your skin as omega 3's start nourishing the inside of our bodies going to the brain first then internal organs etc, and finally to the skin, hair and nails. Make sure you keep your intake of fibre up and take a good probiotic such as acidopholous. It is good bacteria found in food such as yogurt and kefir. For topical, I would suggest a good unscented natural lotion. Some of them come medicated for skin. Talk to your consultants at your local health food store for natural options. Good luck
Reply:Yep, no cure. I recently saw on tv that there is a psoriasis support group online now. There's probably plenty of great advice on how to treat it there. I have eczema and the only thing that really works for an outbreak is diprolene.
Reply:Cures are hard to find. For a non-alternative medicine prescription product that treats the outward condition, try this: Geri-Hydrolac 12 Ammonium Lactate Lotion and Dovonex (calcipotriene ointment), 0.005%.


For alternative real solutions, try the method ascribed to by Dr. Don Colbert, M.D. in his book called Toxic Relief. This book is about NATURAL detoxifying and has special instructions in it for psoriasis sufferers. A smaller book of his probably deals with it more specifically.


I wish I had the old juicing book handy that I picked up at a used bookstore years ago. In the same vein as Dr. Colbert, particular juices were used to purify the blood and liver. So a cleanse would surely help.


My spouse has suffered for 25 years. He said at the time the psoriasis came he was very healthy (and young). During the years he drank, psoriasis disappeared. This is NOT a recommended solution. What he has determined from everything is that this is an internal problem, specifically with the blood.


I sincerely hope all this helps. Buttercup
Reply:There are succesfull herbal treatments for that. Go to a good chinese docter - in the Kruisstraat in Eindhoven there is one I can personally recomment.





All the best. Still in town????
Reply:there is a shot that is available through your dr. but can be costly and reguires monthly blood testing, but the results are amazing. i have psoriasis and it was severe when i was younger but now is only moderate and creams are more aggravating then a help. my sister-in-law has severe psoriasis and takes the shots with amazing results but as with any treatment there can be draw backs and the only one she has had so far with this treatment was a severe out break when she stopped taking the shot for 2 months, insurance problem. take to your dr. its worth a try. hope this helped.
Reply:I'm not sure about a cure but you do need to treat the cause rather than the symptoms. I take an all natural product that has medical validation. It is an adaptogen which goes to work on all auto-immune deficiencies including psoriasis and ezcema. Once things are balanced in your system, you no longer experience the flare-ups. I have found success with this.

Reply:This may sound crazy, but from what I hear, you should try horse's milk. A friend of mine has suffered his whole life from psoriasis, as did his father and brother. They tried everything they could get their hands on, and since they started using horse's milk (I think they're just rubbing it into their skin, not drinking it) they're itch and rash free.
Reply:Outside of creams, lotions, and meds - I have seen one other thing work. I'll admit however, that it sounds like quackery, but I know the doc who does it, and i've seen the before and after photos.





The doctor is a chiropractor that uses a treatment approach called "Toftness". This type of treatment has much documented success, but I have never tried the therapy on any of my patients. If you want more info you can search the web, or give me an email and I will give you the number for the doc and he can find a practitioner in your area.





Best of wishes.
