Hi Caroline,
Thank-you for your input much appreciated.

Please take a look at his quote at this url.

"niversitätsmedizin Berlin have discovered why patients with psoriasis are less susceptible to viral infections than patients suffering from atopic dermatitis (atopic eczema). The reason for this is the larger quantity of special proteins present in psoriatic skin, which inhibit viral replication. The interdisciplinary team under the direction of Dr. Robert Sabat from the Department of Dermatology and the Institute of Medical Immunology, in collaboration with the Institute of Virology and the Berlin-Brandenburg Center for Regenerative Therapies (BCRT), has additionally discovered a new function of the immune system. The study is published in the current issue of the journal Science Translational Medicine"
"Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are the two most common chronic diseases of the skin, from which over 40 million people suffer in the US and in EU alone. They cause persistent visible changes of the skin that severely impact the quality of life of the patients. In addition, the damaged skin barrier enables pathogens, such as viruses, to penetrate the skin and multiply. Surprisingly, only atopic dermatitis patients show a high incidence of cutaneous viral infections, which exacerbate the course of atopic dermatitis and if not treated promptly, might be life-threatening. The authors of the just-published study show that compared to the skin of patients with psoriasis, the skin of atopic dermatitis patients produces smaller quantities of what are known as antiviral proteins, which inhibit viral replication. In the search for the trigger responsible for these differences in protein production in the two skin diseases, the research team came upon the immune messenger interleukin-29."
Once bitten twice shy? Strange there would be all this anti viral stuff on the skin of a psoriasis sufferer if viruses aren't somehow involved.
Caroline said... "However there are signs, that is research, that indicate that bacteria may be in involved."
If you are implying psoriasis is a bacteria. I'm not so sure, most people with psoriasis, have probably had many courses of antibiotics, throughout their lives. Antibiotics kill bacteria and if not, cause changes in them. And yet, people still have psoriasis unchanged. Just my opinion though, I don't know.
Caroline said... "There are also thoughts that psoriasis has to do with mitochondrial cells."
EDIT By Fred Link removed......................................
"In most animal species, mitochondria appear to be primarily inherited through the maternal lineage, though some recent evidence suggests that in rare instances mitochondria may also be inherited via a paternal route. Typically, a sperm carries mitochondria in its tail as an energy source for its long journey to the egg. When the sperm attaches to the egg during fertilization, the tail falls off. Consequently, the only mitochondria the new organism usually gets are from the egg its mother provided. Therefore, unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA doesn't get shuffled every generation, so it is presumed to change at a slower rate, which is useful for the study of human evolution. Mitochondrial DNA is also used in forensic science as a tool for identifying corpses or body parts, and has been implicated in a number of genetic diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and diabetes."
My aunt, my mum's sister has had severe psoriasis most of her adult life. We share the same mitochondria. Why isn't my condition as bad as hers? Diet? It would be great if I could help her.
Thanks again for your comments.
Quick see Fred, he's buying everybody $1000 shares in a hankie factory!
