    That stuff have some serious side effects. Got a friend taking it, She has not put on any weight , but she walks 6 miles a day and goes to weight watchers. I would not take it, it lowers your immune system too much.:flowerforyou:

    I refused it for a year, but when psoriasis covered 70% of my body and itching to the point of madness.PA so bad I could hardly move I had to take the risk. It really has helped and I am closely monitored. It just never dawned on me until last week that it could be the cause of my weight gain.

    My doc wanted me to try it, but through trial and error I discovered that I can't eat potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, or eggplant (nightshade family). When I eat those my psoriasis is awful. As long as I avoid them, I'm doing okay. It might be worth a try for you.

    wow- thanks! I eat those foods almost every day. Do you know what it is about them that makes a difference? Do you have problems with wheat or dairy? So thankful for your input!
