Pemphigus Vulgaris

[Guest guest]

Just in case this is not familiar to most - it is an auto-immune

disorder, which causes the body to blister the skin - often starts

in the mouth.

On the off chance - has anyone had any experience treating this?

The prospective patient said he had heard some positive results with

acupuncture and chinese medicine out of Portland.

 

I will not see the patient till Tuesday so information is limited at

this time, but would appreciate any input.

 

He is 57 yo, diagnosed 4 years ago and currently on 40mg of

Prednisone alternate days and Rx Immuran. Allergy testing was

positive for eggs and cheese, which has helped some. Also suffers

from chronic candida as a result of the prednisone.

 

Thanks,
