ZnP has been looked at quite closely in this group. I'll dig
uP some posts.

Undecylenic
ACID,Sodium Lauryl Sulphate.
I'll try to find something on these also.
Post by LuckyjammygitThe managing director of this company is from the pop group Pilot Eddie
Houston.
That was mentioned previously a few times. The name lead me to
believe he was American or something. A good old boy from the
South, maybe.

I don't know if this will stick to-gether so i'll post the article.
Pilot Eddie's magic spray ends skin disease ordeal
WHEN former Scots pop star Eddie Houston goes to his local cinema to
see new movie The Singing Detective, it will be a traumatic
experience. He suffers from psoriasis the same debilitating skin
disease as the film's main character, played by Robert Downey Jr.
Eddie went from being a chart-topping guitarist with Scots group Pilot
to spending 20 years as a recluse after an accident during a gig that
he reckons triggered the condition.
But his life has been transformed after he helped develop a new
aerosol spray treatment, Dermacinz, that has cleared his painful
symptoms.
For 20 years, Eddie hid himself from family and friends because his
body was covered in open, weeping sores.
But after using the spray, his condition cleared so much that he could
lead a normal life.
While there is no known total cure for psoriasis, 49 year-old Eddie
hopes hisproduct can help ease the suffering of others.
He is now marketing the range of Dermacinz sprays in Scotland and has
signed a deal to sell them in America.
Eddie said: ''My whole body was covered in a disgusting, bleeding
crust.
''I felt unclean and my selfesteem was at rock bottom.
''I used to just sit in my bedroom and suffered from depression. About
95 per cent of my skin was covered in painful sores.
Eddie hit the big-time with Pilot in the Seventies. Their string of
hits included singles January, Magic, Just A Smile and Call Me Round.
Eight years ago, he commissioned a scientist, Dr Klaus Moock, to look
into how he could develop a treatment.
He said: ''I embarked on a series of tests in which I was the guinea
pig and, amazingly, it worked for me.''
Eddie began to manufacture the spray in Ireland and put a tiny ad in a
newspaper inviting people to try it. Hesaid: ''Forget everything I
achieved with Pilot my biggest kick was when people began to try
Dermacinz.
''One couple brought their three-year-old daughter to our factory. Her
scalp was a mass of congealed blood. The little girl had got steroid
treatment and her parents had taken her to Lourdes.
''After using the spray, her mother phoned me and said: 'This is a
miracle. I can comb her hair and the bleeding has stopped'.''
Eddie now lives in Condorrat, Cumbernauld, with wife Doreen and
children Siobhan, 13, Edward, 12, and Sean, eight.
He reckons his problems began after he was shocked by a live
microphone on stage in Paisley in 1977.
He said: ''I was blown off my feet and knocked unconscious. Weeks
later, I had red blotches on my forehead and went to the doctor.
''He said I had psoriasis and I'd take it to the grave.''
Now, thanks to his Dermacinz spray, Eddie is enjoying a normal family
life.

Post by LuckyjammygitStrange thing that my P also started when I had a work accident
I wonder if strep was my ONLY accident when i onset?
The more i think about it the bigger the basket case gets.
Or that may be just P-paranoia.
Lets look at contents now:
Zinc Pyrithione: http://www.skin-zinc.net/zinc_pyrithione2.htm

Alcohol denate ( denat):

Isopropyl Myristate: (from some group post of IM)
Isopropyl myristate is not an expensive, exclusive emollient. It's a
cheap emollient, so cheap there's loads of it as the active ingredient
in Liquid Wrench, a product designed to loosen rusted-together parts.
Isopropyl myristate is a penetrating grease that gets the highest
rating on any list of likely comedogenics. It's even listed in the
Merck Manual under "Acne". I hardly ever break out at all but using
anything with isopropyl myristate is practically a guaranteed
breakout,
And skin zinc cap has some also,

( I wish this Paul Allen guy from the UK was still around the p
newsgroup)
If the only ingredient is the ZnP that does anything, why don't you
buy
H&S shampoo and use it topically overnite or something?
You can get a liter of H&S for under $10 in the US. Try costco.com
online.
Add some denat alcohol or ethyl for you daring types and some
CAPB or any old coconut grease and slather away. The IM is cheap
you could go to the hassle of getting it. Or try DMSO if your
really crazy like i use to be. :)
Oh forgot. )
And that Eddie Houston guy spent $800 K for this? And it took him 20
years
to find it? At least it works for him. Keep us informed as to your
trials.
That dermacinz or demasins may be across the pond soon, we'll need to
know.
20 years to find ZnP? I've had it in my shower longer then that. lol
I guess thats not so bad, as it took me over 40 years to find
wheatgrass
juice extract spray and creosote bush.
And they grow all around me. Who knew about the vinca?
And how many would recognize the oriental poppy as the
evil do'er it is? Quite pretty just left alone to flower.
Rock and Roll and flower Power and side tracked with 20 plus years
of P.
Once we cure all those old P rock and rollers they take back
uP where they left off with a little/lot more sage wisdom.
