Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Rainy, Having PA sure would account for the negative RF. Maybe you have both RA and PA, but your RA is in remission and the PA is active. There are so few differences between the 2 types of rheumatic diseases. There is one type of PA that mimics RA so close that it is very difficult to tell them apart. I used to think I was better off with a diagnosis of PA rather than RA because I didn't think PA can affect the heart and lungs. I was wrong. It can cause inflammation in the eyes, heart, lungs, and kidneys. It is still an autoimmune disease. http://www.focusonarthritis.com/script/main/art.asp?articlek ey=460 is a really good article on it. The treatment is the same for RA and PA. I have dry patches on my face on both sides of my nose, and a few small patches on my legs and in my scalp. My daughter has it really bad behind her ears and in her scalp. It is almost gone in the summertime, so she started going to a gym in the winter and going in the tanning beds. It helps a lot. If after reading the articles on PA, you feel it may be what you have, mention it to your doctor. Use the cortisone cream sparingly because it will thin your skin. hugs, a -----Original Message----- From: Rainy [mailto:rainysu@...] Sent: Friday, June 01, 2001 1:21 AM Arthritis Subject: [ ] Psoriasis New PageI just realized something the other day. Before I was on Remicade and about one treatment into it, I had these small dry patches on my hands and a small spot on my elbow. But since the Remicade, I haven't gotten anymore. So I am pretty sure it was psoriasis and that the Remicade made it go away. While doing research I remembered that they may approve Remicade for Psoriatic Arthritis. Well.. the dry patches I had are gone. I have had these dry patches for only a few years. A year ago, at my first Remicade treatment, it was the worse it had every been. It was embarrassing, so I hid my hands and kept putting cortisone cream on them. ~Rainy rainysu@... " Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 There are no miracle cures for skin problems. The skin is a reflection of your internal organs and how healthy or unhealthy they are. The skin is the mirror of what’s happening in the deeper layers of the body. If your detoxification organs (intestine, liver, kidney) are doing their proper daily job of detoxification and they are not overburdened (congested), then the skin will feel soft, and look beautiful. The skin is your largest elimination organ and it'll take over the burden of elimination when your detoxification organs are congested and cannot do their job specifically the intestinal tract and liver. The best cure for your skin is to clean up your diet to get your detox system working better. Elminate all stimulating foods (meat, sugar, salt, dairy, white flour, and breads). Eat fruits and vegetables and some grains (brown rice and sprouted grain breads). Look into whole food supplements (wild blue green algae, probiotics, enzymes, and different sprouted grains and grasses) to help with your digestive tract, nourish your body and reduce oxidative stress. When you understand the relationship between nutrition and health, you'll understand the miracle lies in your body and all what you have to do is feed it well and it'll simply give you the results you want and your skin will become radiant and healthy looking. Don’t just cover up the problem with creams, etc. – work from the inside out.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Funny Shari... lol Here is one from the files .. .I'll look for the other one you're referencing.. ANTIFUNGAL SALVE These herbs may be made into a salve, to help heal broken and cracked skin, or a vinegar to help relieve itching when the skin is not broken. Dilute vinegar by two-thirds with water before applying to cracked or open tissues. It stains the skin, as iodine does. This formula works well for athlete's foot, ringworm, and ectopic or eczematous skin conditions. 1 part walnut husks (antifungal) 1 part thyme leaf (antiseptic) 1 part rose leaf (astringent) 1 part plantain leaf (soothing) SV <shavig@...> wrote: A while back someone posted a link for a cream to treat psoriasis. I have spent the better part of an hour searching and reading messages back to 2005, but not finding what I was looking for. Anyone remember this? I'm pretty sure the post did not come from Suzanne so that narrows the search a lot! LOL........ Thanks for any help - Shari Suzi List Owner health/ http://360./suziesgoats What is a weed?
