What about other treatments that I hear about, like alternative methods?

For as long as anyone can remember, there have been people and companies promising psoriasis relief and cures via an endless array of potions, lotions, and diets. Since the emergence of the internet, these “cures” have proliferated, and now flood YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and other message boards and social media outlets. There are simply not enough government regulators out there to possibly police all this.

Our view is pretty blunt and politically incorrect in this age where the media breathlessly covers anyone who tells us everything wrong with us can be solved if we just eat this or don’t eat that, or rub this lotion here or that cream there: it’s hogwash.

If this were 1960, when psoriasis treatments were extremely limited and very cumbersome, then sure, who could quarrel with trying out some cleverly marketed elixir or exotic diet? But here in the 21st century, we have real, scientifically tested, government regulated and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved psoriasis and psoriatic treatments that have been studied on hundreds, and usually thousands, of patients for years, and at great expense, before being made available to you. They must not only work, but their safety must be tested to demonstrate that the benefits of the treatment outweigh the risks of side effects for appropriate patients as listed in the prescribing information.

Again, Psoriasis Cure Now believes in taking psoriasis seriously and that means seeing a medical doctor and using the incredible advances being made in science and medicine to improve your health.
