Psoriasis
"I
am a 31 year old man, has had psoriasis since age 6. I had
been treated by two dermatologists in Colorado, however, not too
much help. I had red, thick, psoriatic patches, widely spread
in my chest, abdomen, thighs and
legs, forearms and back. The patches has thick flakes, redness,
itching, sometimes bleeding. Up to my age of 21, I developed into
the psoriatic arthritis with spontaneous fusing in several of
my cervical vertebrae which caused my neck stiffness and limited
my neck's range of motion plus pain allover in my body. In addition
to my oral medication, I have to receive Methotrexate .7 ml, once
a week by injections since early 1998 and have blood test did
about every three months. After receiving 12 visits acupuncture
treatments with Chinese herbal medicine, my pain medicine Darvocet
N-100 has reduced gradually and the people around me including
my sister and coworkers feel I am walking better. Particularly
my psoriatic patches on my abdomen and chest went away mostly.
The redness, itching and pain in other places also decreased a
lot. I do have the confident in Dr. Tao's treatment and hope other
patients could try alternative medicine too. It's not only effective
but also no side effects and my energy feel better apparently."
