Soothamide (PEA) Cream Helps Psoriasis & Seborrheic Dermatitis

.

.

.

I have posted on PEA (palmitoylethanolamide) for several years on this site – use the search function top left above photo and type in PEA. No prescription is needed. Before it was available in the US, patients ordered it from the Netherlands where it is sold as PeaPure. One whose neuropathic pain was finally relieved by it, ran out, flew to the Netherlands just to pick up an emergency supply and flew back immediately. Thankfully Vitalitus began offering PEA capsules in the US a few years ago, and then made the 2% cream called Soothamide, which I have also posted on this site. It may even relieve the neuropathic pain of Complex Regional Pain  Syndrome (CRPS).

.

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA, or PeaPure in Netherlands) is nontoxic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and has no side effects. Your body makes it; plants make it. Years ago the publications on it were extensive. A Nobel Prize winner published on it in the early 90’s. When taken in capsule form for CRPS, I have seen it take 6 or 8 weeks to be effective, but when it relieved pain, it lowered pain from very severe to mild in a patient bedridden for 6 years. I have seen the cream relieve neuropathic pain instantly in a couple minutes in some with CRPS. I have seen the cream fail to relieve CRPS pain in one patient, who then wiped the remainder of the cream along the lumbar spine of her dad who had been groaning with pain, who had instant relief. And I have published on its use for vulvodynia, discussing its autocoid mechanism.

..

Skin conditions can be their own constant day and night torment. A patient reports almost complete immediate relief from the itch of psoriasis and seborrhea (around eyes and all over scalp). Itch can be a form of neuropathic pain besides more common causes such as allergy. The rash, the bleeding crusted itchy skin of those two conditions is treated by prescription steroid creams that can thin the skin, and thin skin itself can predispose to bleeding, further discomfort, and frankly did not help this patient. If you use steroid creams, it must be applied 3 or 4 times a day and use gloves or caution where you rub your fingers — risk thinning the delicate skin near eyes and nether regions as weeks and weeks drag on. Soothamide worked quickly, not needing 3 or 4 applications per day.

.

Instantly the itch was markedly better. And overnight! the rash was markedly improved. The patient had had some mild relief from the bleeding itchy scabs on scalp with T/Sal shampoo but not great, for weeks and weeks. Before that, DHS Zinc shampoo helped only mild “dandruff”, did not touch the crusts and itch. Aloe Vera helped the itch for a few hours. Steroid creams were no help for itch, for 4 months scratching the delicate skin around eyes with hard scratchy cloth almost like a dry loofah sponge. Soothamide 2% took away the itch around eyes immediately though it can easily get into eyes when washed or when rubbing the eyes, it does not burn. It is truly very soothing.

..

It’s also a remarkable moisturizer, absorbs very quickly, is not greasy, and for those whose other skin conditions are unusually thickened, it would likely be worth a try.

.

I see Vitalitus now also sells CBD, that is cannabidiol, the cannabinoid from the marijuana plant that has no psychotomimetic properties – does not make you “high”. GW Pharmaceuticals’s “Epidiolex”, their CBD, recently received FDA approved for epilepsy. Imagine! a Schedule I drug received FDA approval! hmmm, must not be deadly after all. Wait til the DEA kills that idea. Does congress make sense when they dictate medicine?

Vitalitus is the only reputable supplier of PEA in the US – palmitoylethanolamide

.

Strong Warning

.

 Purchase PEA only from *Vitalitus* in the U.S.

..

.

I have previously warned readers, but I continue to be bombarded with fake comments about the toxic contaminated Chinese powder with a fake address in Florida that sells on the web at a “bargain” so that people think they will save money. 

.

Do not buy from any other source than Vitalitus in the U.S. Or purchase PeaPure in the Netherlands. 

.

Take the capsules with something fatty to help them absorb (glass of whole milk, peanut butter, etc) and continue for 2 to 3 months to determine if they work. The PEA Cream called Soothamide will give relief in a few minutes when it works for pain.

PEA Capsules & PEA Cream from Vitalitus – Soothamide

.

.

.

.

Palmitoylethanolamide (Pea in the US, PeaPure in Netherlands) is a glial modulator, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and anticonvulsant  with mechanisms involving the innate immune system and mast cells. It binds to a receptor in the cell nucleus. The major focus of hundreds of publications on it has been inflammation, neuropathic pain states and mast cell related disorders from University of Oxford,  Journal of Arthritis Research and Therapy, Journal of Pain Research, University of Bologna School of Dentistry (a study for TMJD pain), etc.

.

It is a food supplement. It is a naturally occurring lipid amide, i.e. the body makes it, plants make it. It is available as a capsule and a cream without prescription. It may take days to weeks to work, but I’ve seen the cream work in two minutes – shock!  The relief is amazing for someone who has failed everything for intractable pain.

.

Soothamide Cream is 2% palmitoylethanolamide from Vitalitus in the US.

.

It’s been fascinating to see the cream work for so many pain syndromes including severe CRPS/RSD nerve pain! arthritis, muscle and severe ligamentous strain – often in less than two minutes! Not everyone, not every pain benefits but it is well worth trying and very affordable for large amount.

.

One senior whose osteoarthritis in finger joints has been painful, very stiff, and prevents him from only very slightly being able to bend four fingers on his right hand. It’s been years since he’s been able to touch tips of the fingers to his palm because of stiffness and pain. They just would not go.

.

After applying Soothamide cream, in less than 20 minutes he was able to fully, easily and painlessly bend all four fingers to the palm without any trace of stifness – quite astonishing. And the next day, three of the four fingers still had complete 100% relief 20 hours later, but it did not last for the index finger, even applying it later to that finger over those 20 hours. Twenty hours relief is amazing for three fingers after years of severe stiffness and pain. Relief may have been hours longer, but he took off for the day and data like this is difficult to pay attention to, and then to make a memory note of how long.

.

Another with knee pain and significant joint effusion (fluid that creates pressure inside the joint), had relief for 3 hours after one application in the office.

.

I have seen the cream relieve low back pain completely in less than two minutes. This was the father of a patient who had tried it in the office and it failed to help that patient, but she had a little left on her hand and schmeared it across her dad’s back. All pain gone in less than two minutes!  I am assuming this was muscle strain, not deep mechanical structures in the spine.

.

Another patient with RSD pain on the foot had no benefit, but she then applied the Soothamide to a very severe pain from torn ligament in the arm that was more painful than her RSD. It was gone in less than two minutes, to her shock and delight.

.

The cream has only recently been available in the US, and I have seen it help so many patients including those with CRPS/ RSD nerve pain. Most relief from creams is short lived, but if you see 4 hours of relief, or 20 plus hours as the patient above, it is very special.

.

The cream has been such fun! Having seen even the severe nerve pain of CRPS/RSD improve or be astonishingly gone -!- in less than two minutes -!- it helps doctors forget the pain of being unable to offer anything more. Here we have capsules and cream that do not require prescription. And even in the most extreme pain syndromes is worthy of a try.

PEA capsules – open and place powder under tongue for instant relief of breakthrough pain.

..

That was a blessing in the middle of last night for one of my patients with RSD who was having a severe flare of pain. In August, she had started PEA capsules 3 twice daily – always take with something fatty (milk, peanut butter, etc) to aid absorption. In 3 weeks it had reduced her lower limb pain from severe to mild-moderate while in bed. Now months later, after reducing another medication briefly due to side effects, pain flared severely. What to do?

.

I instructed her to open the PEA capsule and place the powder under tongue to absorb there. She had relief. I don’t have data to relate more as yet but hope to post as I learn from her and hopefully other patients who write in their comments. How much is safe? I will try to find more information. We know the body makes it, plants make it and at doses of 6 capsules daily it causes no side effects.
