Well i thought that i would try internal methods to help my P rather than external and i had heard bout a man called Jan De Vries and that he was pretty good at helping to control it, was wondering if anyone else had been to see him and if he had helped them..ive to take 1 "indian capsule" and 1 "anduvite" capsule in the morning and 10 drops of "psorinoheel" after meals. Only been on it a few days so cant say yet if its takin effect.

Sorry I don't have any information on that. It doesn't hurt to try to work from the inside out. I'm sure the others will be along shortly to help you out

I see there is a clinic not far from me.
Let us know how it goes - looks interesting.

I have a book by Jan De Vries called 'Arthritis, Rheumatism & Psoriasis' and have been taking some of the recommended herbal liquids for my  :pa in conjunction with my standard medication. It's too soon yet to say that it helps but I am certainly a little less stiff in the mornings (foul stuff though, even when mixed with juice  )

Here's hoping that it helps Julie

What are the herbs Julie? I wouldn't mind trying some (getting desperate as the p rapidly worsens!)

Well i finished my course of capsules and oil drink, and unfortunetly i cant say it help, but its not to say it wont make a difference on others, Ive resorted to UVB treatment the now as i need a quick clear up cause im going on holiday soon

hope it works for you vive if you try it

Does UVB work? After being unable to walk for two weeks I got to the dermatologist. Steroid creams had done nothing to help after 10 weeks, so I asked about UVB and about laser treatment, also about Elidel (non-steroid anti-inflammatory cream).  After bringing in 3 other doctors and their students to see the state of my feet and hands, the dr. prescribed a mild steroid ointment with salycic acid in it, told me to get zinc & castor oil cream. He said Come back in 10 weeks, & if the ointment had not worked he would consider UVB. The Elidel he said is a 'last resort' as it damps the immune system down.   This leaves me stuck at home, can't even collect my son from school, unable to do more than limp around the flat.  And the P is rapidly developing all over my body, having previously been only on soles of feet and palms of hand.
From where I am sitting - it is definitely time for last resort treatment!

I have never had P before so have no experience of what treatment to expect - would UVB be likely to be beneficial now, rather than in several months time when P has got serious all over my body?

I found Jan de Vries stuff on internet - a good range.
