I knew we had one somewhere. I was talking with Caroline after she had pulled me up for saying there is No Cure, and I remembered a similar conversation before and this is it.
So I thought I would give it a bump.
Why am I bumping it? Well I get fed up with people joining the forum to try and sell a cure for psoriasis. I have been running this place long enough to spot the signs as have some of our longer term members, and it's always the same old story.
People join and start a new thread using that magical word "Cure" once they realise we don't allow links on Psoriasis Club they try to mention the so called cure by using the product name, what they don't realise is that as soon as they mention the word Cure, we are all over them like a ton of bricks and 9 times out of 10 we are right and they end up getting a ban.
Unfortunately there are some who use the word Cure when it's not really a cure, it's more like it's helping them at the moment and they are so impressed they want to share. If you look through the threads on Psoriasis Club that have the word Cure you will see they are genuine people just trying to share information that may help others, a good example of this is Buttermak3r's thread titled Baking soda for psoriasis he doesn't mention Cure in the title but it is in the actual thread. He didn't come here to try and sell anything, he came here to try and offer help to others. You may not agree with his solution, but he's not trying to rip you off.
So back to this thread, I would like to see what others think of the word Cure when used in the context of a thread about treating psoriasis.
#1 For me there is no cure for psoriasis.
#2 I would have to be clear for at least 10 years before I would even consider a it a cure, even then I still wouldn't be convinced as I know psoriasis can come back with a vengeance just when you think it's all over.
#3 I find the word Cure wrong to be used when talking about a treatment for psoriasis, there are a lot of people out there who will believe and try anything to rid themselves of it and when it comes back again their hopes have been built up so much it hits them hard. Very hard in some cases.
Well that's just my opinion of the word Cure, over to you.

- Is there such a thing as a cure (relieve the symptoms of a disease or condition) for psoriasis. ?
- How long does one have to be clear before you can definitely say it's a cure?
- Should the word Cure be used, or is it misleading?
