I would like to add another personal opinion; I believe that sun
exposure on a daily basis of about 1/2 hour may be beneficial in
curtailing this condition. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight react
with the cholesterol in the skin and produce the hormone known as
vitamin D. It is the egosterol component of cholesterol that produces
this reaction. Many hormones are produced buy this process. If you
elect to experiment in this area, please report your experiences as
to whether it helped you or not.

As I said before, I believe that this condition is curable. I believe
that it is totally an endocrine imbalance that produces the disease.
There may be a genetic connection but I believe that the connection
is only a tendency and not a situation beyond the control of the
person so afflicted.

I believe that there are no incurable diseases, just incurable
patients...

BTW: Your English is excellent based upon your spelling. I am amazed
by the vast number of people in the world that have done so well in
learning this language which is obviously foreign to them. I for one
know only English. What counrty do you live in?
