Psoriasis Myths and History

[pingu]

In the mean time... 2017, it is known that IL-17 and IL-23 play a large role in the mechanism of the immune system. Therefore Cosentyx works so good for PsA and e.g. Stelara for Psoriasis, still they are not a cure.

On Fact #4..... I think if change your preliminary views on the triggers of psoriasis, than we can come close to a cure. But you, especially doctors and researchers, will have to step out of the comfort zone, and pay attention to research that is already available but has been neglected up to now. Open your mind, think out of the box and be flexible, ignore the limitations of the protocol. (I have never met anyone in a hospital with this attitude   )

Imagine what happens to Pharma if we find a cure for auto immune diseases , they will be sooooo happy for us  

Great thread, and I agree with Caroline.

History is littered with "mad" doctors/scientists who stepped outside the norm and found great discoveries that were only adopted many years later.

However in our more enlightened society as Caroline points out it would not be in the interests of pharma to cure a disease but far more profitable to extend the life of the sufferer and alleviate the symptoms. Look at how many diseases we are unable to cure that have been around for a long time. Those that have been cured largely simply killed the sufferer so it was obviously in the interests of pharma to cure them.

Yes over simplified and probably a little disillusioned but there seems a correlation with chronic illness vs deadly illness and pharmas ability to cure.
