I have psoriasis I was just wondering what you would recommend to get rid of it on my knees, elbows and scalp as prescription creams have not worked. Thanks.

Hello Andrew,
Prescription creams for psoriasis such as hydrocortisone and other types of steroid creams, fail to repair the skin and at best, may at times simply alleviate the symptoms temporarily.....but this comes with a large price in the form of side effects! These side effects include: thinning and discoloration of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, perioral dermatitis, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system. Recent studies further reveal changes in the shape or location of body fat (especially in your face, neck, back, and waist), increased acne or facial hair, menstrual problems and impotence. Not only this, but steroid use almost always produces a "rebound effect" of the very symptoms you are trying to get rid of!
My strong recommendation for your knees and elbows is to begin by using our FACE & BODY MOISTURIZING WASH to cleanse with. This is a hypo-allergenic wash with anti-bacterial properties that will begin unpacking the thick patches on your knees. Further, it will add much needed moisture to your skin which is so necessary in the repair process. Please note that so many commercial soaps on the market today actually strip away the natural PH of the skin and deplete it of its natural moisture levels. This only exacerbates the problem and in some skin cases, causes it!
Next, apply our DOUBLE STRENGTH THERACREAM to the affected areas twice daily (morning and evening being the best times). This double the formula cream quickly penetrates the thicker scales that form with psoriasis as well as the 7 layers of skin and begins to unpack the dry, damaged cells lifting condition them to the surface while filling the cells below with much needed moisture. For your scalp, I strongly recommend the following: At night before bedtime, rub in our DOUBLE STRENGTH THERACREAM into the parts of the scalp affected. Allow the cream to absorb overnight into the 7 layers of scalp tissue.
Next, wash their hair and scalp with our HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT which is hypo-allergenic and filled with nutrients. These 2 products, together, will unpack dry skin cells in the deepest part of the scalp and restore much needed moisture and regain a healthy balance once again. They will also stop any itching and provide anti bacterial protection while working. Once your symptoms cease, you need only use the HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT to maintain a healthy balance on your scalp and hair.
Please keep me posted on your progress Andrew. Also, please note that we refer all of our International customers to our sister website at: www.aim2health.com where you can order all of the same products as are available on this website.
