Find someone with Psoriasis and apply a little Iodine to a small lesion every day for two weeks and you will see for yourself...
...make sure the person is not allergic to iodine first...
...if sensitive to iodine use a paste of BiCarb and water...
...and expect a little redness as the layers flake off and the fungus dies.
I had twelve years with international Pharma and have qualifications in biology and microbiology and I am telling you the proprietary solutions do not work...
...they are mostly designed to relieve discomfort but do not get at the cause.
Ps ask yourself, who runs the NHS?
Now, since you have "qualifications" (which I noticed you didn't use the word "degrees", unless you're just using the terms loosely), can you explain to me why iodine and bicarbonate, two chemicals with radically different compositions (one is a nearly inert element, one is a high molecular weight buffering solution) would produce the same reaction?
I don't think it is wise to outline full qualifications in a public forum.
They both work differently.
The iodine works by acting as a direct fungiside.
The BiCarb acts by changing the pH...fungus dies in alkaline environment.
Think of the Psoriasis lesion like you would an abcess forming around a bacterial infection...
...only it grows in layers as each new protective tissue is overlayed by more fungus...
...and it grows like a stack of pancakes...
...eliminating the 'stacks' is then done one at a time.
Most proprietary solutions just slow the process down a bit...
...or relieve the discomfort.

Dude, you are reading way too far into things on multiple levels.
1. I already admitted after doing more research I think its far more likely to be eczema, not psoriasis. I am not claiming to know exactly what my skin condition is for sure.
2. If my skin condition goes away (esp on my feet) it would have been 100% because of the CS, nothing else could explain it, especially not placebo.
3. I'm not giving anybody medical advice, never will.
4. Many people are like me and don't have medical insurance, so they might be interested in alternative treatments
5. Many people are looking for alternative treatments simply because normal methods haven't worked. It's not your job to deprive them of possible information just because you think they might possibly delay some other treatment that a doctor prescribes.
I'M JUST GOING TO DETAIL MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, SO THAT MAYBE OTHERS CAN HAVE SOME HOPE IF IT WORKS.
What other adults do is up to them. It's not your job to play mommy and daddy for everyone on here and "gaurd them from reading information". You are an information-fascist with a superiority complex and an affinity for predicting the future and reading far too much into things that haven't yet transpired.
6. Why do you think CS is an "improper or unrealistic treatment"? Silver is used in burn victim cremes. That's a fact.
I know I don't own this thread, but I would appreciate it if you would leave. K thx bai

Truthfully its kind of hard to soak the feet in it. So I'm gonna try it on my finger first.. if it works then my feet are next

When I said earlier that I tried CS for my eczema on my fingers, I never tried soaking my fingers for 30 mins, instead I put on a glove and sprayed the CS into it until my entire hand was soaked then went to bed with the glove on. Was also drinking a couple shot glasses of CS a day. I did this for about 3 weeks with no signs of improvement. Like I said earlier, thought it was ringworm at first, so was trying to starve it of oxygen hense the glove. I haven't tried Iodine yet, not sure if it is the same thing, but I did try Betadine which is provodine iodine solution in the glove for a week with no signs of improvement. In any case I hope your results are better than mine and I truely wish you the best in this endeavor.

Tea tree oil and lavender oil may also be good for the condition. Be sure to put the tea tree oil in a carrier oil so it isn't irritating. Lavender oil can be applied directly.
