"First, do no harm" 
Sir William Osler (1849-1919)
Canadian-born physician



"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka" (I've found it!), but "That's funny..."

23 y.o. female, psoriasis 9 years - 19 days treatment with wheatgrass spray

The photographs below show lesions on the anterior abdominal wall of a 23 year old female whose psoriasis was unresponsive to numerous treatment modalities and which had been present for nine years. The photograph on the right was taken 19 days after the one on the left (20 Feb '03) after twice daily application of wheatgrass extract. Note the generalised fading and confluence of lesions and scale reduction (arrow). The patient's itch disappeared four days after commencement of treatment. She remains in contact and, although some lesions remain, they continue to fade and the itch has not returned. She also reports resurgence of self-confidence.
