What is Psoriasis? Psoriasis is a common skin condition that causes redness and irritation. Basically it is a disease that can occur when skin cells grow too quickly. The wrong signals are sent to our body's immune system, causing skin cells to form a new week instead. We need more skin cells to accumulate in the skin's surface and form lesions. What are the causes? Psoriasis seems to be a hereditary condition. In many cases goes away and then flares again for many years. Psoriasis is not contagious. Scientists have discovered the psoriasis is so complex that they continue to investigate what happens when you develop psoriasis. When the researchers studied the immune system of a person with psoriasis, found that T cells (a type of white blood cells to fight unwanted invaders such as viruses and bacteria) erroneously triggers the reaction of the skin cells. This triggers a series of events. It causes new skin cells consisted of a week instead.
The reason this happens, seems to lie in our DNA. People who develop psoriasis, appears to inherit genes that cause it, but it appears that many genes are involved in psoriasis. Treatment and New Hope. The goal of treatment is to control your symptoms and prevent infection. Traditionally, it was generally three therapies used in patients with psoriasis:
The use of topical medications such as creams, ointments, creams and shampoos
The drugs, which are tablets or injections that affect the whole body
Phototherapy, which uses light to treat psoriasis
Finally, now a breakthrough in adult stem cells. This is probably one of the greatest discoveries of our time in the science of health. About 30 years of studies and experiments, scientists have discovered that specific components of the plant called Apanizomenon flos aquae natural water (AFA), which grows wild on the bottom of the Klamath Lake, Oregon, is a significant and positive effect on our bodies. A team of scientists and researchers led by Christian Drapeau, neurophysiologist managed to isolate the molecules of the plant and made a remarkable discovery. They came out with a unique product to integrate the parts of the AFA, to give the public the opportunity to make use of botanicals, health benefits.
