A short distance between Crohn’s & Psoriasis
Studies have been performed estimating patients with Crohn’s disease are 5 times more likely of having psoriasis. To put perspective on this, approximately 2% of Americans are affected by psoriasis, yet more than 11% of Crohn’s sufferers are affected by psoriasis. The link between Crohn’s & psoriasis is eminent.
Those who don’t know what psoriasis is… Psoriasis is a chronic condition that affects the skin and joints. It typically causes red scaly patches on the skin that looks like a rash – a bad one. The scales on the red patch of skin are silvery in hue and are known as psoriatic plaques and the result of inflammation and excessive skin production. The most common areas affected by psoriasis are the knees and elbows.However, psoriasis can occur anywhere on the body, even on genitals or the scalp. Like Crohn’s, psoriasis is not contagious.
Where’s the link?
Researchers believe the link between Crohn’s and psoriasis lies within a person’s genes. Much like Crohn’s, psoriasis is the result of a malfunctioning immune system. If a person has a history of psoriasis within their family, and these genes are passed along, it’s very likely lineage will be at risk for psoriasis. It’s also likely other immune disorders or conditions like: diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or Crohn’s disease may exist.
Treatment Options
More than likely these problems will have to be treated separately; however certain medications and supplements may be able to treat them together. For example, and an alternative to prescription drugs, SEROVERA® AMP 500 can be effective at treating both Crohn’s and psoriasis simultaneously. The reason: SEROVERA’s large AMP molecules have an inhibitive effect on the cytotoxic action of tumor necrosis factor. It functions as a TNF blocker. Tumor necrosis factor is known to be the culprit behind the inflammation that occurs in Crohn’s and psoriasis.
Finally uncover an all-natural safe alternative without undergoing surgery or the use of expensive prescription meds. SEROVERA® is safe for everyone and packs a powerful punch on immune-mediated conditions.
