A Resource About Understanding Psoriasis


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     I have been a bit surprised to find many questions concerning psoriasis
in my mail lately.  Usually the summer months bring some measure of relief to
this noncontagious, chronic skin disorder that produces scaly skin lesions.
However, the letters require more than just the brief answer I can provide
here, and so I contacted my friends at the National Psoriasis Foundation, who
rapidly came to my assistance and made a most informative 14 page brochure
available to my readers.  It is called " A Guide to Understanding Psoriasis"
and is filled with answers to many of the questions that are the concerns of
individuals with this disorder, and their families.  Send your request, naming
the booklet, DIRECTLY to the National Psoriasis Foundation, Dept.  AB, P.O.
Box 9009, Portland, Oregon, 97207.  You will NOT need to send an envelope this
time.  When you get your copy, carefully scan the list of other publications
listed on the inside front cover, that are also available from the Foundation.
They contain much information that many of you have been seeking.  The members
of this Foundation receive many important benefits that help them to fight
their condition, and obtain support and understanding from the thoughtful and
considerate staff.
