Psoriasis in a 63 yo male present for 20
years. Numerous topical applications, UV, cortisone injections with little,
if any improvement over the years except in summer.
The photograph on the left (after one
month's treatment with wheatgrass spray twice daily - mid winter, Iowa) shows thick plaque, heavy scale formation, rough,
thickened edges around lesions. By this stage, the patient's pruritis had
significantly improved, and only required occasional
topical steroid application.
Centre (6 months treatment with twice daily
wheatgrass spray), plaque visibly thinner, lesions flattening and spreading,
pinkish skin colour returning to lesion surface and edges more clearly
defined. Most noticeable are the numerous "skin lines" forming,
a sign that I believe shows that skin "normalisation" has begun.
More "pseudolesions" have appeared, but these tend to become pale and disappear in
time. At this stage, the patient's genital psoriasis, present for many
years, had largely resolved.
Right (9 months treatment with twice daily
wheatgrass spray) Lesions flatter and fading, approaching normal skin
colour. Significant improvement in appearance of lesions over treatment period.
Condition remains well controlled with twice daily application of
wheatgrass spray. (Note similar improvement in Patient
R. S.)
