I appreciate your taking the time to discuss this. It is not fair to ask you off hours for the discussion. I will drop asking you anything further.
Other discussions in other medical aspects can get interesting on this board. I hope you join in.
I have very successfully treated my psoriasis for the last decade. I turn 60 in April.
Yes the biologics are dangerous. I avoided Biogen’s back in 2006 when offered to me by an Internist. The side effects had been pulled from the internet but I had prior read how severe they were. I confronted my doctor and he backed off stating in his practice there were bad results. Mind you he was not generally treating skin disease.
I found an excellent treatment. Later when meeting up with an Irish cousin his dermatologist has mentioned the same treatment. In fact according to my Irish cousin out of Waterford Ireland all dermatologists in Ireland start with the same recommendation.
No dermatologist in the US starts with this recommendation if they are following standard care for psoriasis or most other skin problems. Zero. Not even on their radar.
I went to Whole Foods Market purposely and bought a bar of soap that was non commercial. American and European commercial bars of soap have something between 50 and 70 chemicals. Their bars of soap will not lather or melt or anything without chemicals.
The soap I bought just did not have chemicals other that those legitimately make up soap.
Body washes are more offensive that bar soap with chemicals additives. There really is no such thing as a body wash without chemicals.
My severe psoriasis was cut down by 95%. I barely have psoriasis today.
People with skin cancer can see 50% reduction in the frequency of lesions. I have seen this in a few people I have helped switch to non commercial bar soap.
I have a very bad history from prednisone pills, to light treatments for burning my skin, to PUVA that is bad for the liver, to other poor recommendations. Nothing worked all were bad for me.
I come from a medical family. I was protected and I protected myself. Bad recommendations were cut short.
PS it is not just sunshine that leads to skin cancer. It is chemicals as well. That is why there is a 50% drop generally speaking in the number of lesions. We test chemicals mostly one by one. The real danger is not in one chemical. The danger is in our chemical bath both figuratively and literally.
