Psoriasis may raise heart attack risk Skin condition elevates blood inflammation levels, study finds Updated: 4:14 p.m. ET Oct. 10, 2006 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15209007/ [As per homeopaths and herbal healers, it is extremely risky to suppress psoriasis or eczema with steroidal medicines or creams. Any skin problem is best treated internally and with holistic therapies which seek to alleviate the problem by drawing out toxins in the body of the patient. The suppression of skin problems leads to internal organs becoming affected, a fact declared by Hahneman 200 years ago.] CHICAGO - Severe forms of the itchy skin condition, psoriasis, should be considered a risk factor for heart attack, a new study suggests. Researchers who studied medical records for more than 680,000 British patients found that people in their 40s with severe psoriasis were more than twice as likely to suffer a heart attack than people without the skin disease. The link may be inflammation, the body’s normal response to injury and infection, which plays a role in both heart disease and psoriasis, researchers said.
