Immunomodulators are drugs that help fight the autoimmune inflammatory process in psoriasis. Thanks to immunomodulators, T-lymphocyte activity of the epidermis of the skin is suppressed, which leads to long-term remission of the disease.

Immunomodulators for psoriasis are divided into 2 groups:

The first group is used extremely rarely (for example, if in addition to psoriasis the patient has HIV), the second group is included in the standard complex therapy. What immunosuppressants are credible doctors and patients:

• Methotrexate and Cyclosporin,
• Efalizumab and Thymodepressin,
• Alefacept and Basiliximab,
• Simulator and Infliximab,
• Adalimumab and Ustekinumab.

Methotrexate and Cyclosporine are prescribed only in cases where other treatment options are powerless. Drugs have many side effects. In addition, due to a decrease in immunity, it is impossible to take immunomodulators of this group:

• pregnant
• lactating women
• children
• people with allergies
• HIV positive.

A number of immunosuppressants are included in the prescription list, such medicine can only be bought with a prescription from a dermatologist.

Diet food

For effective treatment it is important to follow a diet and pay attention to the work of the intestine. The chair should not be less than once a day. Otherwise, it should be normalized by taking a laxative.

Effective and not harmful laxative - these are three spoons of ordinary olive oil. Diet for psoriasis involves strict control of the acid-base environment:

• 70% are alkaline foods,
• 30% for acid-forming products.

Two popular power systems, according to Pagano and Ogneva, are based on this principle. The difference between them is that Ogneva offers once in seven days to be limited to low-fat cottage cheese with kefir, and also to eat only vegetables and apples, while Pagano divides all products into permitted and prohibited. Ogneva also proposes to dilute the diet with herbal tea - collecting Altai and Far Eastern herbs.

Tip! It is better to switch to new foods gradually, thus the intestinal microflora will have time to restructure.

Positive feedback received recommendations for therapeutic diet and from Dr. Anne. In addition to the standard set of products (vegetables, fruits, dietary meat, some cereals), she recommends cooking in a double boiler or a brass top.

Three food systems are distinguished by a set of products and emphasis on the characteristics of their use, but in general, each of them facilitates the course of the disease, if you follow it regularly.

Patient reviews agree on one thing: by following the recommendations of nutritionists, it is possible to significantly improve the condition of the body and increase the duration of remission.

Attention! In terms of money, dietary meals can be costly, but remission will help save on medication.

Equally important in the complex therapy of psoriasis are physiotherapy. The most effective super methods:

1. Electrosleep. Gives stabilization of the nervous system.
2. Ultraviolet irradiation.
3. PUVA, photochemotherapy.
4. Magnetotherapy.
5. Centimeter or decimeter wave therapy.
6. Laser therapy
7. Baths with sea salt, therapeutic mud.
8. Cryoterpapia.
9. Spa therapy.

More information about each technique can be obtained from your doctor. According to reviews of patients, the most lasting result is a balneotherapy. Going to the sea or to the mud source, you can not only get new impressions, but also make significant progress in recovery.

Tip! There are sanatoriums and dispensaries that specialize in the treatment of psoriasis. It is there that you should go to enter remission.

Result of effective therapy

In addition to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, an important aspect in the treatment of psoriasis is the need for a healthy way of thinking. The course of the disease and remission directly depend on the state of the nervous system. And that, in turn, depends on the amount of dopamine, serotonin and other elements that are responsible for mood and good mood.

The best thing you can do when treating psoriasis is to take care of your physical and mental health.
