Hi everyone! I’m fairly new to the mailing list. I don’t have psoriasis
myself but my son does and I have spent some time trying to learn all I can
about the disease the last couple of years. I am fairly convinced with all
the reading I have done and by reading comments from this group over the
last few months that diet is one of the major contributing factors to this
disease and hopefully offers the most promising avenues for cure.
To this end, I would like to pose a question to the group. I know that
around the turn of the century both heart disease and cancer were fairly
rare diseases and it was only after our current western lifestyle really
took hold that these disease occurences went ballistic. Two questions:
1) Does anyone know what the incidence rate of psoriasis was during the
early 1900’s? If not, any ideas for how to find out?
