Default Psorisis med for MS ???
All -

I have ben told by a medical professional (MS neurologist) that there will be news very soon about an OTC medication used for psorisis that seems to have been identified as a very favorable MS medication. Hence, the cost will be very low.

I do not know the name of the OTC medication or how it works.

No other details were provided, and so now you know all that I know.

Let's hope for the best!

I'm assuming that this will be a topical medication if it's OTC? How would that work?

Hi Victor..

They say that LDN helps with psoriosis, but it didn't do anything for mine.....or, maybe my psoriosis would be much worse witout it?? I have had it for years but it comes and goes and stays relatively mild.

Default pine bark stuff(Pycnogenol)
This pine bark stuff has helped reduce my psoriasis. I gave a 4 month supply to my brother to help with his arthritis and he reported back to me that it almost "cured" his psoriasis.

When I was in the hospital for 60 days and could not take my supplements, my psoriasis can back with a vengence. It took about 3 months before I noticed it was almost totally gone after I again started taking the bark stuff(Pycnogenol) 100mg AM & PM. I did not know untill yesterday which supplement was responsible for the improvement.

The pine bark stuff(Pycnogenol) also loweres MMP-9s levels and thus reduces MS damage.

Abstract
The effect of French maritime pine bark extract (PBE) on the gene expression profile of HaCaT human keratinocytes was studied using high density filter arrays. The expression profile of both control and PBE-treated cells was determined. Interestingly, PBE was shown to downregulate both calgranulin A and B genes which are known to be upregulated in psoriasis and various dermatoses. Thus, PBE could be considered in human dermatoses.

Wow...didn't realize some of you had psoriasis too...another auto immune disease...
Sometimes I feel that the medical profession is in it's infancy in it's knowledge about these types of diseases...

How long does it take before you notice any relief of the psoriasis?

Could they be referring to BG-12, which is based on an rx psoriasis treatment which in turn is based on fumaric acid? Neither BG-12 or the psoriasis treatment it's based on is or will be OTC, but fumaric acid is in OTC psoriasis treatments.
