Long Time Steroid User Needs Help!

Hello Nanette,

I just received my order of the TheraCream and Body Wash and am very excited! I have been a very long time steroid cream user and unfortunately have been using it at my discretion without any guidance (over 10 years) The doctor had prescribed me a very potent one which I had been using in the groin area for what I "thought" was psoriasis. Like many people, I have been so blind to the negative effects of these steroids, but have been off of them for a month now and will not go back. Needless to say, the rebound effect in that sensitive area has been huge, as well as looking like my skin has been burned and bright red. I am so used to instant gratification because of the steroid creams usual response but I know I need to be patient. My question is: Is it possible for this to take quite some time to heal? I have been using the TheraCream for 3 days now with very slight improvement. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!

White Patches - Help Me Please

by A.S.
(Trinidad)

I dyed my hair approximately two years ago. I slowly developed white spots on my hair line, white patches on my face and white spots on my fingers. I have been to two dermatologists and three doctors. I have seen no improvement. My fingers are dark on the 'inside' of my hands. I did several blood test, all came back negative. However the doctor, did say that I am anemic. He said my immune system is weak, due to high levels of stress.

I looked at picture of one of your clients from Florida, who had a white patch behind her right ear. I have almost the same condition. Please give me advice on what natural remedies or products I can use to fix this.

Urea Cream

by Alan
(Rochester, NY)

I have been prescribed urea cream from my podiatrist for the bottom of my feet. I was wondering if I can use the same cream on my chafed hands which looks like the psoriasis I have on my elbows? I also read on the internet to wash my hands before and after applying urea cream. Can you please comment on this?
Thanks,
Alan

A blessed day to you Nanette. I am Sittie from the Philippines. I've been searching many sites for many years on what natural remedies can cure me until I find your site and read it. I have a scalp psoriasis and red spots on my body. But worst is on my scalp that make me feel uncomfortable. I hope you can help in my problem.... I experienced this when I was 18 years old up to now.

Hoping you can help me....thank you and God bless you!

9 Month Old With Psoriasis

by Tara Fox
(Whitewood, Saskatchewan, Canada)

My nine month old daughter has been diagnosed with Psoriasis. She has spots in her many creases, armpits, on her back, her ears and her bottom is just covered. The inflammation must be uncomfortable for her and the Doctor prescribed a 2% hydrocortisone cream which I am uncomfortable using on her delicate skin, especially in her arm pits and all the other creases. You also recommend herbal remedies. Lately I have been using echinacea oil and lavender oil in a grapeseed oil and just covering her after a bath. What herbal remedies could I use to help her - and how. She is so small. For now I will continue to breast feed her. Could we also give her a form of Omega 3 (like Krill oil)?

Thank you for your informative site and for the clear explanation of the dangers of hydrocortisone cream. Just what I needed as a concerned mommy.

Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritist

by Ellen Walker
(Kendall Park, NJ)

I have always had psoriasis. In the last year it has gotten out of control. Now on my hand that I need to wear gloves. I am embarrassed at how they look. I take Shaklee vitamins - eat very healthy - I am a diabetic in the best health as I can be but this is making me very sad! What did the people who gave testimonies that I just read use to clear the skin?

Psoriasis On My Head

by Anonymous

Hello Nanette,

I would like to tell you that your Double TheraCream is working wonders and what a difference it has made in my life so far. For almost 13 years, I had developed sort of a psychological problem to where I didn't let an imperfection heal and created a large area on my scalp that I have searched for years for to heal and it never did. I tried first cortisone creams, then herbal remedies, vinegar to stop the flaking and itching, saw doctors that told me I had psoriasis on my head, offered several drugs, that I didn't fill the scripts for due to the warnings on the label. I even treated it as psoriasis as a condition, ordered miracle cures on the internet, that didn't cure it. And if I had to count the money I have spent.......oh hundreds of dollars.

It has stolen my self esteem, I haven't worn black in literally almost a decade, and it has made me constantly having to "look after" it for all this time to where it became part of me. (Of course due to the psychological part of the ordeal.) A little over one quarter of my life has been spent searching and never losing hope that something is bound to make it leave.

First, I learned about Urea on the internet, about a month ago, and went to my nearest drugstore to pick up a tube. That just made it kinda heal but kept it inflamed. Even though I saw YOUR ad first on the net, I still went and bought the drugstore version, because it was suppose to help it. But the cream that I ordered from you is the most wonderful stuff ever made on the planet.

I sure wanted to take the time to thank you SO VERY much that really these words can't express how much. If you were in the same room with me I'd hug you!!

May you always continue in your quest to helping people, with unidentifiable skin conditions, and to bless others with your gift of knowledge. And if there is anyway I can help please let me know.

Warm regards to you, and thanking you from the bottom of my heart and soul!!

Mum of Very Unhappy Young Man

by Lyn
(UK)

Hello,

My son has been diagnosed with psoriasis 3 months ago and he has been given 2 creams to use - one for his elbows and shins, the other for his scalp. He has just showed me NEW very red spots on his back, stomach and says he also has them on his backside. It looks as though he has the startings of one on the lower part of his eye and he is only 26. I can't understand why these creams only seem to be making things worse! I've just come across your site and would be very interested in buying your products. Please could you advise me where I can buy your products and if you could please help us with any advise....thank you, Lyn (my son's name is Ben)....thank you so much.

Horrible Thick Psoriasis On My Knees

by Pearl
(Georgia)

Hi Nanette and how are you?

My name is Pearl and I have had horrible thick psoriasis on my knees for over 25 long years. I have to tell you that I have been to so many dermatologists both near and far and have probably used every known steroid on the planet. My psoriasis is so bad that I can't even enjoy my gardening (not for a long time) and to play with my grandchildren on the floor is a near impossibility. I am truly fed up and need to know if your products would help me get rid of this long time problem. I'm just now turning to natural remedies (I guess better late than never) and I feel nervous and excited at the same time. Looking forward to your soon advice....Pearl

Psoriasis On My Elbow

by Colleen T.
(USA)

I had psoriasis on my elbow and have used a steroid cream for several years. It was a viscous cycle! My elbow got red, scaly and sore. When I used steroid creams, it went away but when I stopped the cream it came back. That’s when I went online and found your product – "Double Strength Cream" and have been using it for about two weeks. I am amazed that within two days my elbow was clear! And I can use this cream every day, so now I can avoid the “waiting” for the next episode of irritation. Thank you so much for helping me end this horrible cycle!!!

P.S. Why don’t dermatologists know about your products? The next time I see my dermatologist I will taking my Double Strength Cream to show her and recommend it to her patients.

My Scalp Psoriasis Of 4 Years

by Rachel
(London UK)

Hi Nanette,
I have had scalp psoriasis for 3 or 4 years now.
Tried natural(essential oils)& when that didn't work tried allopathic shampoos/creams and they only worked for a short time. I had scabs on both sides above the ears for a long time but now the scabs are less. The problem now is very dry skin on the margin line all across from one ear to the other. In some places on the forehead( looks like the picture of the person on your site with bad dandruff). Recently it has also spread to under my eyebrows. It also gets sore behind my ears.
I would really appreciate your advice on which products to use & what to do.
Many thanks.
from Rachel
