Answer 1

I will tell you but as to if you take the advise, that is up to you. I have Psoriasis and for many years was told I had Psoriatic Arthritis, however my Psoriasis never flared, it just remained stagnant? I was even hospitalizes several time! Anyway eventually I went abroad to see a Rheumatologist who specializes in PA and this was my last port of call, because I had been for first, second and third opinions. If this Doctor told me to stand on my head for six hours a day, I swore I would do it! After the usual barrage of tests he said 'I want you to go to a Health Shop and buy something called evening primrose oil. Then I want you to take 1,000mgs per condition!' That was it, no Methotrexate, no steroids, no nothing? I left the Hospital located a Helath Shop and purchased my extra large tub. I took three capsules twice a day and outside of have very loose bad odor bowel for about a week, noticed zero! However, this was it, keep popping these capsules! When we got Home we found out our House had been sold and so were busy packing and trying to locate a new house to buy, did not have time to think. We moved and then the usual decorating and gardening and so on. It was December 1998, a man who was going to instal a Desk Top with Internet, that I knew from College arrived and set about plugging me into the Global Highway. Just before he left he said 'I do not know what drugs you are on, but I have never seen you looking better'. I thought BS! I then sat back and thought, odd usually I am in Hospital twice a year with the PA, but not so far this year? He was right, all the stiff joints were no more and my skin was looking so much better. Here I am now 2008, still on the evening primrose oil, now on Prescription from my GP, as it is classed as a Drug. Now I have started to tackle the skin and to date excellent results? Why not before? Well the Doctor who told me about the evening primrose oil was going on about GLA and how people with Psoriasis cannot manufacture it from the diet, meant zero to me? However it seems it is very important for regualting the hormones? Now I am Menopausel, so now we have a window to attack the lesions and get shot of them forever and so far, looking the best I have been since I was 15! The psoriasis erupted at 16! Best of Luck
