Doctors Health Press Reports on Study: Combination of Vitamin D and Corticosteroids Most Effective in Treatment of Psoriasis

Boston, MA (PRWEB) April 11, 2013

Doctors Health Press, a division of Lombardi Publishing Corporation and publisher of various natural health newsletters, books, and reports, including the popular online Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, is reporting on a new study finding that combining vitamin D and corticosteroids may be the most effective treatment for psoriasis.

As Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin (http://www.doctorshealthpress.com/womens-health/skin-care/vitamin-d-vs-corticosteroids-for-this-skin-problem) notes, psoriasis is one of those tricky conditions to treat. Often, the cause of psoriasis isnt clear, which can make finding an effective remedy more of a challenge. And while psoriasis does have some unpleasant symptoms, mainly in the form of skin irritations, most people treat the condition because they want to have smooth, healthy, glowing skin.

As the article Vitamin D vs. Corticosteroids for This Skin Problem reports, topical creams that contain corticosteroids are commonly prescribed to treat psoriasis. Corticosteroids are synthetic steroids that mimic natural hormones and are supposed to reduce inflammation and help stop allergic reactions. However, corticosteroids, while effective, can cause a number of prescription drug side effects in certain people. The more potent they are, the more likely a person is to suffer from side effects.

The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article states that an alternative treatment for psoriasis involves using topical creams with added vitamin D, which is thought to lessen the severity and length of a psoriasis outbreak, as well as reduce scaling and inflammation. Vitamin D also helps to slow the growth of skin cells, which is a good thing when it comes to psoriasis; the fewer skin cells that grow and become inflamedforming dry, scaly patchesthe better.

According to the Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article, researchers recently reviewed the performance of these two psoriasis treatments. In all, 177 trials were included in the researchers study. They found that vitamin D and corticosteroids worked better as a combined treatment than either treatment on its own. The researchers also noted that vitamin D was significantly less effective than potent corticosteroids when used to treat scalp psoriasis. However, they cautioned that most of the trials failed to report if long-term use of corticosteroids increases the risk for permanent skin dermal atrophy, a condition where the skin thins.

Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) June 04, 2013

TriDerma, a maker of specialized skin care, announced the launch of its new Psoriasis Control Shampoo, a medical strength shampoo that helps provide fast relief for the itchy and scaly scalp that are symptoms of psoriasis, dandruff and dermatitis.

Psoriasis can affect any skin surface and is marked by a build-up of skin cells called scales. Patches of skin affected by psoriasis become itchy, dry, red, and sometimes painful. It is estimated that half of the 7.5 million Americans with psoriasis are affected by scalp psoriasis. It can appear as one or multiple patches on the scalp, affect the entire scalp, and spread beyond the scalp to the forehead, back of the neck, or behind the ears. It can be difficult to treat psoriasis of the scalp because of the difficulty applying topical psoriasis treatments to the affected area.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans Use Improved hCG Diet Plans Producing its Best Weight Loss to Decrease the Severity of Weight Related Psoriasis

Houston, TX (PRWEB) June 06, 2013

People who are trying to achieve their best weight loss now have an additional weight related health concern to consider in their fight against fat. A new study implemented by Copenhagen University Hospital Gentofte in Denmark considered the relationship between obesity and psoriasis, found a direct connection between the two and determined that those subjects who restricted their calorie intake to between 800 and 1200 calories per day not only experienced their best weight loss, but also saw major improvements in the severity of their psoriasis. Limiting calorie intake can be challenging, therefore Diet Docs hCG diets address intense cravings and uncontrollable appetite with prescription strength hCG treatments. To maintain best weight loss over the course of a lifetime, Diet Doc nutritionists educate patients on healthy, low-calorie eating habits that can be incorporated into patients daily lives.

As reported on by Everyday Health, researchers behind this study found that inflammation cause by weight gain and obesity could aggravate psoriasis in overweight subjects. Sixty obese adults between the ages of 25 and 71, who were experiencing mild to moderate psoriasis, were observed while dietary changes were made in their food consumption. Researchers saw that, when compared to other obese subjects with psoriasis eating higher calorie meals, subjects with a low-calorie diet of between 800 and 1200 calories not only experienced best weight loss, they also saw improvements in the severity of their psoriasis. Diet Docs hCG diet plans incorporate the powerful appetite suppressant hCG which allows patients to lower their calorie intake to these levels, achieve their best weight loss goals and decrease the severity of their psoriasis.

Human chorionic gonadotropin, commonly known as hCG, is a hormone that was discovered in the 1950s by researcher A.T.W. Simeons and has been incorporated into todays modern hCG diets to help patients achieve their best weight loss. When used as a weight management tool in hCG diets, hCG suppresses patients appetites allowing them to exercise control over the amount of calories consumed and begin working toward their best weight loss goals. hCG treatments in hCG diets not only act as a potent appetite suppressant, it also mobilizes excess and unnecessary fat storage that is hard to eliminate through normal diet changes and exercise alone.

Diet Doc understands that achieving weight goals can be challenging and developed hCG diets to offer patients a road to safe, easy and effective weight management. Patients following hCG diets protocol will have unlimited access to Diet Docs team of weight management professionals six days per week. Diet Doc physicians, nurses and certified nutritionists are available to answer questions regarding weight management and effectiveness of hCG diets and offer guidance, support and education to encourage initial fat loss and continued weight management over time.
