| moleskum Danielle Eastman 07:50:48 |
| | Has anyone heard of a skin condition that is caused by a virus and they
are small warts? Our niece is 6 years old and these things are
tormenting her. Is there a web site where I could find information? I
am not even sure of the spelling. She also has exema.
Thank you for any information.

| Pleva KLReach 08:03:37 |
| | Hello all...this is my first time posting here, I have been lurking around a
couple of days and finally decided to jump in with my question...
I found out on Monday that I have PLEVA- also known as Pityriasis Lichenoides
et Varioliformis Acuta or Mucha Habermann's Disease. I have searched and
searched trying to find someone else with this, or just someone that I can talk
with about it.
Anyone out there have any experience with Pleva??
THANK YOU! Weezer

| Trilexan - Pill form melasma treatment Isabel_7667 23:17:07 |
| | I have been on birth control for over 10 years, the melasma on my
forehead and cheeks has become darker over the years and is so
embarrasing. I bought Trilexan because nothing else has worked and
figured it was worth a try and alot less harmful than Amelan, HQ,
etc. I am in month two of my cycle and have noticed a significant
difference in my appearance. I know this is an ongoing process and
expect to see even more dramatic results in the coming months. I
will keep you all posted on my progress.

| Pityrosporum Folliculitis Guest 06:37:39 |
| | Hello
I have Pityrosporum Folliculitis for about 3 years. Tried some
antibiotics and topical meds when it was first diagnosed as acne with
no success. Im 22 y/o.
1. 2 doctors said its caused by me being young, and should pass by age
25. Is this correct?
2. Is it somehow affected by food? I'm eating very healthy food with
very low fats.
3. What's the best treatment? seems like i need something 'from the
inside out' because they appear on the back & chest but lately seem to
take over more and more areas.
Thanks

| Hi 4th Week on Soritaine Whew Wanderer 09:14:21 |
| | Okay I am not going nuts anymore. My scalp has settled down a quite a bit I
think, sort of. I am not sure. My hands are peeling on the backs and my feet
are peeling just like you said they would. You really are a fortune teller.
I am still flaking and flaking and flaking. It makes baking almost
impossible. there is a poem in there somewhere. You know flaking, baking..
today I made an apple crisp with long sleeves and plastic surgery gloves
over the cuffs. Very interesting. I always needed and excuse to get outta
the kitchen. I got it now. ha ha.
My lips are certainly chapped. I am praying this drug works. Today I don't
have much faith. I have my good days and bad days just like you said I
would. Some times I think it is better than yesterday and I think I am just
fooling myself.
I have already picked up my next session and will see what the next four
weeks bring for me.
Hopefully it will be a success 2006 for all of us.
Wanderer..

| | I've ask before but don't remember the answers. What type of suggest, or
side effects did folks have with it? I fill my Script today and I'm afraid
to use it, with the warning about hair loss and loss of night vision. I
drive home from work at 11pm.

| Eczema cure - is there one? Mastadex 20:17:42 |
| | I went to a dermatologist not too long ago with a symptom that caused
tiny bubbles of fluid to form on my hands and feet. He said it was a
type of eczema and that there is no cure for it, only creams and pills
that make it go away temporarly. I did a little research on the
internet and i agree with him.
For the time being I stopped eating/drinking milk based products such
as butter, milk, cheese, yogurt. Im only on day 6 of my experiment and
so far i see no bubbles on my hands. Im wondering if this is just a
fluke of me switching over to soymilk/alternatives or does milk
actually have something to do with it?
Does anyone here ave any other alternate medication I could try? could
eating more citric acid help?
Living without cheese is very hard for me 
PS. I still have itchy eczema on my elbows, that has not gone away yet.

| Psoria Gold Ingredients Jim W. 08:33:28 |
| | I am trying to look into the ingredients contained in the Psoria Gold.
Google has never heard of diazolinyurea. What is this?
I Googled triethanolamine and found some links that address some negative
aspects of the use of this in cosmetics. Apparently 40% of the cosmetics on
the market use this as an ingredient.
http://www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep2/report.php?type=INGREDIENT&id=1084
I suppose with a price of 89 USD for 6 ounces you would go broke before you
would see any ill effects.
Thought?

| More tetanus 4U? JXStern 23:43:24 |

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/542163
Tetanus Vaccination Lowers Multiple Sclerosis Risk
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Aug 01 - Vaccination for tetanus is
associated with a 33% decrease in risk of multiple sclerosis (MS),
Boston-based researchers report in the July 25th issue of Neurology.
...
The biologic mechanism by which the tetanus vaccination may protect
against MS is unclear, according to the authors. They note, however,
that the tetanus toxoid contains a universal human T-helper cell
epitope that can bind to a wide range of human MHC class II molecules.
"Vaccination with T helper cell receptor peptides has been shown to
shift the T helper cell response from Type 1 (Th1, pro-inflammatory
cytokines) to Type 2 (Th2, anti-inflammatory cytokines) by activating
regulatory T cells capable of inhibiting myelin reactive T cells," Dr.
Hernan's team writes.
"These regulatory T cells recognize processed TCR peptides presented
by
the MHC class II molecules on the surface of activated Th1 cells, and
then can produce Th2-type immunomodulatory cytokines that downregulate
the activated Th1 cells as well as other activated myelin reactive Th1
cells within the CNS."
...
Dr. Hernan's team adds that "immunizing with the tetanus toxoid could
be a promising approach for the treatment and prevention of MS and
other Th1 cell mediated autoimmune disorders."

| P News Randall 20:42:49 |
| | Hi,
Waterloo and the battle for more lePtin in the inflammation
process,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4035849.stm
SePsis or any very small amount of LPS (endotoxin) in the
bloodstream needs to be fully understood to end the P
waterloo. I'm sure it works in with our genetic pathways to P.
Its nice to know someone somewhere is working on this besides
yours truly. 
I did do the diet to functionalize my leptin and it didn't
slow down the curse of P much. At the same time though, i took
CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) supplements and they flared me good.
My feelings at the time was, the CLA would energize me and the
more prominent lePtin would negate the flare effects of the P.
And obvious winner is to do a leptin diet and avoid the
high arachidonic acid foods and suPPlements (CLA).
There is a book to work this leptin plan. I'll provide a link
for those so inclined.

| uvb treatment Tracy 00:56:17 |
| | Hi I was just at the hospital on Thursday.
They gave me double base moisturiser and I have to wait for a few weeks
before I have light treatment.
I have had this before only once they tell me it is not harmful if you
only use it as they say.
Any comments???????

| Lutein protects the skin from UV damage Herbs Wholesale 10:27:36 |
| | Lutein also protects the skin from UV damage, as well as free-radical
damage. Studies have also shown that lutein reduces inflammation and
redness in the skin, and may even help prevent skin cancer.

| Enzymes Manfred 08:46:07 |
| | I just came accross this at
http://www.healthtalk.com/psoriasis/programs/11_378/page03.cfm
Anyone here still using digestive enzymes? Anything positive to
report?
Dr. Neuzil:
There are a few things that I've found that are really helpful. One of
the most helpful for people with really high inflammation, obviously
the fish oil supplement, but outside of that something like a
proteolytic enzyme, which is an enzyme that you take on an empty
stomach that actually goes into your bloodstream whole and digests
inflammatory particles [is also helpful]. The most common one out on
the market is Wobenzym. There's also a great one called Vitalzyme.
Marcie:
How much of this do you need to take?
Dr. Neuzil:
The Vitalzyme, I typically recommend three capsules twice a day. The
Wobenzym is a little bit higher dose, usually six to nine capsules
twice a day.
Marcie:
But it's the same enzyme?
Dr. Neuzil:
It's the same enzyme. The Vitalzyme has a little bit stronger action.
Dr. Neuzil also recomends Chromium picolinate, Selenium, Zinc and
avoiding Vitamin C, biotin and ginseng because they stimulate cyclic
GMP in the body. They've found that in psoriasis the ratio of cyclic
AMP to cyclic GMP is abnormal, which basically affects the inflammation
cascade and the ways the skin is processed.

| Psoriasis can be cured with Deniplant Giurgiu 05:02:57 |
| | Psoriasis is s skin disease, frequent which razes difficulties of
treatment, at the start of the third millenium. It is present in the
village and city.
The disease isn't contagious. Its apparition can be at any age, even
from childhood. Its evolution is chronic. Sometimes the Psoriasis
elements resist in all the life of the patient.
The specific elements of the disease with red lesions that appear
almost symmetrically, especially on arm, knee the skin from the head.
In time they can appear in other places (member's superior and
inferior), if it's generalizing it means it is a form of generalized
Psoriasis.
The base of the treatment it is the one with ointments, creams or
solutions based on cignolin etc. This has a local effect, sometimes
really fast. But the reappearing is more often and more intense,
sometimes even after they give up the treatment with ointments.
That's why some patients have to continue the treatment with
ointments, even if those have negative effects sometimes.
Using the Deniplant tea from the Medical Foundation "The Help", tea
licensed by Mr. Gheorghe Giurgiu, the president of the foundation there
was healing and disappearing of the lesions in only 6-12 months. The
treatment with Deniplant can be used sure, without other prepares or
diet.
Even if the treatment with Deniplant is for long last it is easy to be
used by the patients at their one homes. and till now there are no
negative effects.
All the 500 patient who've pass to the foundation can say that this
treatment "Deniplant" really has the positive answers that every
patient wants.
This is why the foundation received this name "Hope", to give the
patient the hope that he will heal, even if the doctors say that the
disease can't heal.
The patient has the right to know that in Romania a product that could
help him.

| Re: Methotrexate Raydon14yp 19:40:28 |
| | After many years of suffering with p & treating externally with steroid
creams, including occlusive dressings, and at times nearly 80% p lesions,
& after taking about 6 months to decide whether to go on mtx, I did go on
it nearly 15 years ago. I take 15mg orally, weekly. I have blood tests
every 3 months to check liver enzymes. I have had almost a 95% clearing of
p lesions. Occasionally, I will have GI upset from the MTX, but find if I
take it after a full meal & try to stay mentally & physically active
during the day, usually know side effects. I do imbibe in a very small
amount of alcohol almost daily. I am 76 years old & my life is almost as
normal as it was before the p, which started when I was 22 yrs. old. I
also have been on Embrel for nearly 5 years. I have tried at times to cut
back on the MTX, but the lesions start reappearing rapidly. So, if you are
not getting results yet, & not having bad side effects, stay on the MTX.
