Do you know what the current top "gold standard" treatments by Big Pharma are for psoriasis treatment?

Methotrexate. Side effects: "The most common side effect is nausea, which is usually alleviated by supplementing the drug with folic acid. Other side effects are more serious. Liver damage is a primary concern with methotrexate, especially for people who drink alcohol or who are diabetic or obese. (The risk of liver damage is high enough that, after taking the drug for a year or more, patients often require a liver biopsy to test for toxins in the organ.) Methotrexate can also cause birth defects and cannot be used during pregnancy."

Cyclosporine. Side effects: "Cyclosporine reduces the flow of blood through the kidneys, which impairs their function and can cause serious damage over time. Cyclosporine can also cause high blood pressure, although limiting the course of treatment to a few months appears to mitigate this side effect. Other relatively minor side effects include nausea, joint pain, headache, and fatigue. (Cyclosporine has also been shown to raise the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer six-fold, but only in patients who have previously undergone a type of phototherapy known as PUVA.)"

Psoriasis Costs United States Up to $135 Billion a Year

JUST in the US people are paying $50 Billion on psoriasis treatments. Worldwide? I'm not paying $5,000 for detailed research reports, but I feel very comfortable saying $100 Billion worldwide is spent on psoriasis. How much of that $100 Billion will OWCP get?

Remember the "gold standard" psoriasis treatments I mentioned above? Did you know there are already a few CBD creams on the market for other ailments? Guess what the "side effects" are for those existing CBD-based creams? Sleepiness. Period. Yup. When my mother-in-law uses too much of her rheumatoid arthritis CBD cream she feels like taking a nap.

Did you know there already are psoriasis user groups following OWCP on Twitter, with thousands of followers, just waiting to hear when OWCP can start selling the psoriasis cream?

Set aside everything else OWCP has going for it, just focus on the psoriasis cream alone, and by that single yardstick OWCP is still very undervalued.
