Hi Rachel,

They found a cure for P with a 100% success rate.  Look up Cheminova International from Spain and their product called Skincap.  It is a spray and I think it is about to be adopted by the NHS.  Tell your Dr you are going to tryit though.  It definately works 100% but you have to import it.  I have tried all the creams and Dithranol is about the best for the main parts of the body - it appears to burn the legions off.  They advertised Skincap on Grampian TV (Highlands and Islands) because 2% of the population have P.  As for the Dead Sea - I believe the Swedish send their sufferers there because it does work.  I had P as a child and managed to get rid of it by going into the sea, for 3 months every day and sometmes twice, even during the winter.  Salt water does work but they have a cure now, but until the NHS adopt it you will have to pay I'm afraid - minimum order is $150.  Trust me this product will change your life.


Regards


Gregor

Personally I wouldn't touch Skincapwith a barge pole - it has a terrible reputation.

Skin-Cap FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Skin-Cap
(with a footnote on Skin Zinc)

What is Skin-Cap?
Skin-Cap is a topical drug manufactured in Madrid, Spain by the pharmaceutical company Cheminova International, for the treatment of skin diseases. It is controversial because its mysterious effectiveness as a temporary treatment for psoriasis is inconsistent with any known formulation of its claimed active ingredient, Zinc Pyrithione. The manufacturer claims that the true formula is secret and has not properly identified all of the ingredients. In 1997, the product was tested and verified to contain a potent steroid at prescription doses. On that basis, it was banned from import and sale by the US FDA. Skin-Cap is currently banned in several countries. Cheminova has refused a USA FDA inspection, virtually ensuring that the restrictions will last indefinitely. Canada apparently reintroduced a non-steroidal version of the product through DermLabs in January 2000, but then discovered that Cheminova was again adding a different superpotent steroid, and banned the product again in March 2000.

Cheminova and its distributors have been defendants in over fifty personal injury suits, yet they continue to illegally promote Skin-Cap. Several clone products have appeared that compound various ingredients with an optional prescription steroid. Despite company claims in 1996 that the product had been in use by 'millions' of European customers for ten years, Cheminova's trademark filing sets the date of first use at 3/15/93. However, Cheminova has sold a product in Spain called AnasilPiel which contains the antifungal neomycin undecylenate plus triamcinolone acetonide .1%, a class 3 steroid. Anasilpiel (translates to non-acetic-skin?) has been on the market since 1982.
