hello Fred
Many thanks for the warm welcome and the link to apremilast.
As for snake bile, it was just one of the many things I tried in a desperate attempt to cure my psoriasis. Since I am here today, it obviously did not work.
The whole process was an adventure in itself. It involved putting a sliver of finger nail and a flake on a "boat" during the loy krathong festival so that all the negative skin would disappear. Then the monk took me to a roadside stall where the gallbladder was removed form a live snake (to avoid fake bile sold elsewhere.)
The bile was supposed to detoxify the blood.
BTW I am Christian though brought up in Buddhist and Taoist family and in my country we are also exposed to Malay and Indian religions.
Searching for the elusive cure was just a sign of my desperation and had nothing to do with the religions involved.
