Hi Guys, I have been plagued by psoriasis for years now - doctors and dermatologists I am sure are well meaning but cortisone creams in different strengths have done nothing to relieve my condition and added to by stress by being told "you may just have to learn to live with it" - terrific!! Scaly, itching, peeling and damned sore hands and feet don't need that sort of junk.

A friend tried your skin care products (I will too from now on) and thought your cream might help my problem. I have been using your cream for 2 weeks now(I bought another tube yesterday) and whilst we haven't become psoriasis free - yet - we are well on the way. My skin has gobbled this cream as though you aren't making any more (please say that isn't so) and already I can see new skin showing through minus scaly, cracks etc. itching too has lessened and I am chuffed to the max....God bless cows a - started a revolution that's what. I'm beginning to rave,

Thanks again, Marilynn

Hi Moo-Goo Gurus!

Gotta tell you, I've tried just about every over-the-counter cream for my hand & foot eczema/psoriasis that's out there on the market, and there aint nothing out there better than Moo-Goo!. I've been raving, RAVING I TELL YOU!!! I go into pharmacies and tell them so they'll stock it for other people to get the same relief as I've had. I told my Dermatologist so he can recommend it to others too. No other creams have helped to keep my skin as moist, or helped it to heal and calm down, like Moo-Goo does. I know it's not going to heal my condition, but the relief it gives improves my quality of life tremendously, and that's life changing. When the skin is constantly moist, there's less peeling and flaking, therefore less itching and pain. I can go about my day without having to live and breathe my awful condition. Half a tub of the MSM cream was first given to me by my sister-in-law to try, as I had given up buying & trying new creams ages ago. I loved it, but ran out before I could replace it unfortunately. I then found your website and ordered my Moo-Goo Psoriasis & Eczema Cream, MSM cream, MIlk wash & Goats milk soap. My hands & feet were once again dry and angry, I was hangin out for the order to arrive, and it did just 3 days later. Moo-Goo is non-greasy, nice smelling, all natural, and does what it says it will do, you gotta love it!I'll continue to spread the word, it's great stuff. By the way, we love your website and those beautiful cows, they're gorgeous! Thank goodness for my sister-law-law, Heather, and Moo-Goo. Thank you!

Hello to you all from England.

I have just purchased the Psoriasis Balm and MSM cream to treat my mum's Psoriasis. She has used it consistently for the past week and oh my goodness what fantastic results we have seen. In her own words 'It's amazing'. I can't begin to tell you how happy you have made us both. Her Psoriasis was very severe. The balm has somehow taken the thick skin patches and made them smooth. It has also segregated them and in some places totally reduced them into brown patches in other places. I have to tell you that her Psoriasis was purple/red in color and this is now changing to a lighter shade. Also she suffered from swollen ankles due to the psoriasis but she has noticed this is not occurring as much and in her own words 'I have ankles again' My mum is 64 this year and she believes that your balm will continue to help her and she is thinking and hoping that it may continue to help so much that she could even contemplate on swimming again. This is something that she would not attempt because she has felt like a leper...... May I take this opportunity to say thank you to the herd for giving my mum hope and the the thought of her being able to control the psoriasis with your balm has made us both very happy!

I look forward to your solutions to helping us purchase the balm in bulk and in a bigger pot.

Regards

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a relatively common skin disease affecting 1% to 2% of the population. The main feature of psoriasis is a red, scaly area or patch. The patches appear particularly on the knees, elbows and scalp and sometimes on other parts of the trunk, and legs. Psoriasis affects both sexes and all races. It can occur at any stage of life, although it starts most frequently in young adults.

Itching is usually only mild. Psoriasis only rarely affects general health apart from arthritis. A flare in a person’s psoriasis can, however, have a profound impact on an individual’s feelings of wellbeing and have a major impact on their way of life and daily activities. Once a person develops psoriasis it usually continues, although it may get better or worse over time and even seem to disappear for prolonged periods.

Although no one single cause for psoriasis has been found, it is known that inherited factors are important.

In a person predisposed to get psoriasis, psoriasis can be brought out or made worse by emotional stress, scratching, rubbing, injury, certain medications, some infections and smoking. It is currently thought that the main problem in psoriasis is an increased activity of the immune system in the skin, causing white immune cells (lymphocytes) to accumulate in the skin and produce a range of chemicals (such as tumor necrosis factor, interleukins, interferons and growth factors). These immune cells and the chemicals produced trigger changes in the skin which lead to an abnormally rapid rate of skin cell multiplication or turnover, which in turn causes skin affected by psoriasis to thicken, redden, shed an increased number of visible skin scales and contributes to sensations of skin irritation or itch.Pustular patches of psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a very individual disease, and what works for one person may not work for another. The most common medical treatments for Psoriasis include UV treatment and generalized creams. We have heard back from many people with great results without products, especially in relieving the itching and flaking and irritated look, however Psoriasis is a very unpredictable condition that takes some trial and error.

For severe cases specialized drugs can be prescribed similar to some cancer medications, but these come with side effects as explained by your practitioner.

Natural practitioners will often take a holistic approach including diet and general wellbeing. We feel avoiding stress is also very important.

For MooGoo, our main success has come from providing products that help heal the skin and keep it moisturised and soothed. This helps prevent itching and flaking. For many people this lack of irritation helps the patches to fade in appearance, however Psoriasis cannot be cured using topical creams. What works for one may not work for another.

Coal Tar Treatments.

There are strong concerns that coal tar treatments can be carcinogenic. Google this for more information.  This should be kept in mind when weighing up the benefits against the risks.

Try and resist the urge to believe in a miracle cure. Our products are not "cures", we aim to relieve the itching flaking and irritated appearance. It is the nature of the disease that sufferers would like it cured at any cost and this is often exploited with many miracle cures available, some with very sophisticated marketing.

We have heard many very positive stories from Psoriasis sufferers using a range of techniques. One constant is that a healthy lifestyle and avoidance of stress is an excellent start in helping relieve the condition. Diet can play a big part for many people. Some practitioners achieve good results, but it can take time.

We all hope that a cure for the disease will be found soon.

"Psoriasis" of the Scalp

Sometimes a problem people believe is "Psoriasis of the Scalp" turns out to be a different problem called "Seborrheic Dermatitis". Seborrheic Dermatitis usually occurs around the scalp, hairline, ears, neck, eye area or along the side of the nose. These are the oilier parts of the body. The good news is that this is often much easier to control with a good quality Scalp Cream and appropriate shampoo.

Also see the section under Seborrheic Dermatitis under "Eczema" here.
