Arctic Discovery Helps Reduce Symptoms Of Psoriasis
|
For the millions of people worldwide who have psoriasis or eczema, the desire for "normal" skin, free of redness, scaling and itchiness is a life-long quest. That's because psoriasis and eczema -- common chronic skin ailments -- produce symptoms that are very visual, sometimes itchy and at times painful. They can affect a person's quality of life by diminishing self-image and esteem.
But there is hope for those who have tried just about anything for their psoriasis and eczema. Therapeutic research and clinical trials in the hundreds have been conducted for more than 80 years on the efficacy of trypsin -- a substance harvested from Arctic codfish. Icelandic medical researchers have now developed the the ingredient into Isaderma Skin & Body Care, which shows promising results for those who suffer from chronic skin conditions.
What are Psoriasis and Eczema?
Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease. There are a number of forms, but one of the most common is plaque psoriasis, where rapidly shed skin cells do not slough off but form raised reddish patches covered by silvery-white scale. These plaques commonly form on the elbows, knees, lower back, and scalp.
Eczema is another inflammatory skin condition. It usually first arrives as a childhood condition and can continue into adulthood. It is rare to see an eczema case first identified in an adult. Intense itching and red, sometimes oozing patches are observed on different areas of the body.
A Cure?
While eczema and psoriasis are not life-threatening, they can make life uncomfortable for an individual who has one of these conditions. There is no definitive cause or cure for the ailments, which makes their acceptance by a person even more frustrating. Faulty immune system responses and genetics are often sited as causes. Stress has been known to trigger outbreaks and exacerbate irritation with both conditions.
For many, courses of treatment with steroid ointments, oatmeal baths, tar applications and other unsightly and odoriferous applications have been the norm to keep inflammation under control. Isaderma is helping to change the way psoriasis and eczema is treated.
The active ingredient in Isaderma is penzyme, meaning penetrating enzyme, which is a super-active trypsin proteinase from the North Atlantic cod. Originally developed and still used as an anti-aging gel, the formula has been shown in studies to naturally exfoliate the skin gently, and dramatically reduce the itchiness, redness, scaling and flaky skin associated with psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis.
Unlike other products, Isaderma is a water-based formulation and contains no greasy fats, oils, creams or lipids. This clear product does not ruin clothes or bed sheets, like many greasy ointments. It also contains no fragrances or preservatives, which are the main causes of allergies by skin care products.
One of the main advantages to Isaderma is that you do not need a prescription to try it out for yourself. To order, simply visit www.drnewtons.com or call 800-394-1572 and mention offer code VK11.
