 Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that affects the skin that varies in severity from minor localized patches to complete body coverage. The richness of the skin microbiome and the emerging discrepancies between the microbial composition between health and disease point to a microbial etiology for psoriasis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that affects the skin that varies in severity from minor localized patches to complete body coverage.

   * **methotrexate** – Methotrexate (MTX) is an antibiotic that interferes with bacteria's ability to synthesize folate. It is used to treat diseases with rapid cell growth such as cancer and some autoimmune diseases, particularly the rheumatic diseases. A superior alternative to MTX is the Marshall Protocol antibiotic, Bactrim DS.   * **methotrexate** – Methotrexate (MTX) is an antibiotic that interferes with bacteria's ability to synthesize folate.

   * **[[home:othertreatments:sunshine|light therapy]]** – Phototherapy suppresses immunity which can lead to the progression of other infections such as human papilloma virus (HPV). A 2010 study used a nested polymerase chain reaction, to analyze skin biopsies taken a from 20 psoriasis patients under phototherapy (UVB) and 20 untreated psoriatic patients. The authors were able to detect viruses in 60% of the treatment but in none of the controls.(({{pubmed>long:20415738}})) In reality, light therapy does nothing to resolve underlying disease state and can actually delay progress for MP patients. Certainly prolonged light exposure has been shown to increase skin melanoma – the World Health Organization now categorizes tanning beds under the highest cancer risk category.(({{pubmed>long:19655431}})) MP patients who have completed the treatment have been able to attest to the fact that sunshine is not necessary for good health or happiness.   * **[[home:othertreatments:sunshine|light therapy]]** – Phototherapy suppresses immunity which can lead to the progression of other infections such as human papilloma virus (HPV).

 +<blockquote>I've had lots of experience with psoriasis (which looks like sarc lesions, BTW). I've found a cream that helps it feel better. It's a combo of mango and shea butter that I buy at Walmart, made by Tree Hut. It's very soothing.
