"First, do no harm"

Back to psoriasis case histories

43 y.o. male, psoriasis 10 years - 12 months treatment with wheatgrass spray

This man suffered debilitating adverse reactions to psoriatic medication such as Neotigasone with little improvement in his skin. He also had marked pruritis and scaling largely unresponsive to  Daivonex and Novasone. Prior to treatment with wheatgrass extract, he ceased all medications and topical applications.

In the September 2002 photograph, the patient had applied the wheatgrass spray to his left forearm and elbow only. Note the absence of plaque and scale on this arm compared with the untreated one. Lesions are reddish, flat and beginning to heal. Later, in March 2003, the left arm shows almost complete resolution of lesions while the right, although improved, is lagging due to the delay in commencement of wheatgrass treatment

It is worth noting that pruritis ceased in both forearms one week after commencement of wheatgrass treatment even though only the left forearm was treated. This suggests skin absorption of biological actives from the wheatgrass extract with consequent systemic immunomodulation. ? Grass Juice Factor effect.
