Hello from Jayniepops

[jiml]

Jayne you asked me last night whether Fumaderm was an immunosuppressant and I was not sure how to answer I have asked Caroline and I quote her reply here

Caroline said

Answer: NO, DMF, Fumaderm, Psorinovo, they are NOT immunosuppressors.
In fact you can  all read it in my thread on Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis, specifically in the posts
autoimmune disease   and   RE: Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis  and RE: Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis.

DMF works apparently very different from the immunosuppressors, therefore also the flushes and the slightly higher temperature. DMF checks in with the energy system of the mitochondrial cells. What it exactly does is not completely clear but somehow it repairs something that is broken.
There is a slight side effect on the lymphocytes, see the last post reference.
I must add that the casual dermatologist will place DMF in the immunosuppressor corner, but that is because they don't know better and because there is a lack of seeing through the effects that have been studied and gathered in the last 30 years.

In fact it is brilliant stuff, but very neglected by the medical profession (read: they don't do their work adequately)
