HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR DOCTOR: PSITTACOSIS AND PSORIASIS
Psittacosis
Psittacosis is noteworthy because it is a type of atypical pneumonia caught from budgerigars and parrots. The micro organism is very small; midway in size between a bacteria and a virus. When diagnosed this unusual form of pneumonia is adequately treated by Tetracycline antibiotics or Erythromycin.
Home Remedies
Wear a surgical mask when conducting heart to heart conversations with budgies or parrots.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis causes red, raised, scaly patches on the skin which are particularly resistant to treatment. The disease rarely affects children and begins in the third and fourth decades of life. Psoriasis has a genetic component and the condition often runs in families; but sometimes the condition develops after a Streptococcus infection, which implies immunological causation.
Anti allergy steroid hormones give relief to some Psoriasis victims and coal tar derivatives suppresses the scaly rash in others. Although the Vitamin A derivate Tigasaon has remarkable anti Psoriasis properties, safer treatment awaits the elucidation of the cause and processes underlying the development of Psoriasis.
Home Remedies
Wise women with Psoriasis avoid the use of oral Vitamin A derivatives. Tigason causes foetal abnormalities up to two years after the last oral dose. The teratogenic effects may last longer. Authorities do not entirely agree in relation to that point. There is even the suggestion that topical Vitamin A derivatives are not compatible with pregnancy. The use by women of Vitamin A derivatives is conscionable only in severe cases of Psoriasis.
