Certain nutritional supplements have potential as psoriasis treatments, but have received very little attention from medical researchers. These supplements fall into several categories, such as antioxidants, cell-growth inhibitors, and cytokine regulators. These substances are not necessarily cheap, but their costs are small compared to the costs of many prescription drugs — and many of the latter are not even especially effective.

If you are a psoriasis patient who is ‘fed-up’ with expensive, ineffective prescription drugs, and if you want to self-experiment with nutritional supplements, then this group is for you. The purpose of the group is to exchange information about anti-psoriasis supplements, where to get them, and the results of using them.

Although the founder of this Yahoo group is a consultant to a nutritional supplement company (LifeLink), the group was not created in order to sell supplements. In fact (and unfortunately), the most interesting supplement formulations needed for psoriasis experimentation are not carried by any supplement company. This lack of availability is one of the problems that we will need to solve.

This group is lightly moderated to remove spam and prevent ‘flaming’.
