Abstract
One of the latest steps of the psoriatic syndromes is the psoriasis laepraformis.
The AA, unscrupulously tend to assert that it is always better to follow the historiographical path that drives to a determined cure that had been well established and tested since centuries, even if the original ideas were exceptional and results were sometimes not quite satisfactory.
Aldous Huxley recited “Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.” And thus the AA has preferred to go back to investigate the very history of Psoriasis those in very ancient times was confounded with Leprosy.
Leprosy is an ancient, chronic granulomatous disease caused by acid fast bacilli, the Gerhard Armauer Hansen’s bacilli spirilli, affecting all age groups and has no sex predilection. Usually the disease presents with hypo pigmented patches, nodules and plaques with or without loss of sensations and thickening of nerves. Leprosy has a wide range of presentation which can mimic various otherdifferential diagnosis is so wide that one has to exclude wide variety of dermatological diseases before stamping it to be leprosy as stigma is still associated to it. So, since the psoriasis is one of a plentitude of illnesses that does not know therapeutic results at all, notwithstanding ultra-modern and most sophisticated shamans and opinion-makers give false hope and mislead, is resistant to every type of medication, we have observed what ancient physicians employed to combat this malaise in the lands where the illness was endemic.
In most countries where leprosy exists, the term “leprosy” is ignorantly applied to many diseases which cannot properly be regarded as true leprosy. Hence various chronic maladies of the skin occurring in unhealthy persons living in poverty and neglect of cleanliness’ are often confounded with it and the patients, being regarded as “lepers” are treated as outcasts and objects of abhorrence. Lumped together with similar skin disorders that were believed to be contagious, the condition led to confusion with leprosy (and the Old Testament descriptions did not help) and its accompanying social stigma, isolation and shunning. People with psoriasis—thousands in medieval Europe—were forced to warn others of their arrival by ringing a clapper. It has well defined that many simple cutaneous diseases occurring in unhealthy constitutions were often confounded with the true leprosy, so that persons affected with inveterate psoriasis, syphilitic eruptions etc. were often condemned as lepers.
In the past, possible culprits thought to because psoriasis included poor nutrition, microbes, poor hygiene, allergies and malfunctioning internal organs. Numerous pre-19th-century, ill-conceived treatments were put forth to "cure" skin problems akin to psoriasis. Patients were subjected to remedies and recipes that included cat and dog dung, fresh oil, goose oil and semen, onions mixed with sea salt and urine, and other waste-products.
Ethnobotanically speaking we have discovered in some official documents concerning leprosy in Bristish colonies in the mid-19th-century that people from Australia and New Guinea used to treat leprosy by applying the juice of the fresh leaves of the extracts from the same leaves of manifold varieties of Myrtaceae.
Amongst those are to number Melaleuca alternifolia, bracteata, cajeputi, lanceolata and minutifolia (and even Gorada, Banbar and Boree, trivial names) and their extracts are at the basis of Tea tree oil, so famous all over the world.
The AA have prepared a “ceratum” made of beewax, almond oil (as in the ancient recipes) bisabolol, hyaluronic acid and panthenol and a combiné of seven Melaleuca spp (abounding of Cajeputi one) and chloroxylenol (the only xylene that is capable to defeat variable Gram staining bacteria, as Mycobacteria or Hansens’ bacilli spirilli).
7 volunteers (2 Asians, 3 Caucasians, and 2 mulattoes from Haiti) tested the ointment onto their plaques of well ascertained Psoriasis lepraformis (feet, elbows, groin and hands).
Faces did not present manifestations of Ps.Laepraformis.
After 7 days (2 applications pro day) the plaques disappear at all.
In the Asians and Mulattoes the disappearance of the plaques, redness and itch was evident at 4th and 5th day.
