Developed by a leading dermatologist, Loma Lux® Psoriasis is a Homeopathic medication regulated by the FDA in the USA (USFDA). It is labeled and registered with the National Drug Code (NDC) in accordance with USFDA requirements and is legal for sale as an over-the-counter drug without a doctor’s prescription. All active ingredients are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (1988, Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia Convention of the United States) as is required by the USFDA and well within the minimum dilutions required for OTC distribution. What’s in Loma Lux ® Psoriasis? The active ingredients in Loma Lux® Psoriasis are natural. The ingredients help the body to resolve the psoriasis symptoms, working together to activate the body's own immune system to fight psoriasis.
How does Loma Lux® Psoriasis work? The active ingredients are primarily inorganic water-soluble nickel and bromide salts. The exact mechanism of action is unknown; however, it is likely that the active ingredients help the body compensate for a primary genetic biochemical defect. This biochemical defect is felt to be a nickel-dependent metalloenzyme system which is made more efficient in a nickel enriched environment. Bromide has known antiproliferative properties (used or tending to inhibit cell growth) and may also exert an antipruritic effect (preventing or relieving itching). Have any clinical studies been done for Loma Lux® Psoriasis? Clinical studies of 86 psoriasis subjects given oral doses of nickel sulfate and sodium bromide, two principal ingredients of Loma Lux® Psoriasis, indicate a high degree of statistical significance in the improvement in psoriasis area and severity measurements (PASI score). Ninety-eight percent of subjects exhibited a moderate to marked improvement. A double blind placebo controlled study confirmed safety and efficacy, employing nickel and bromide from a nickel bromide source. Are there any side effects to Loma Lux® Psoriasis? There are no known side effects or no known interactions with any other drugs (birth control, vitamins, etc.) that may be taken with Loma Lux® Psoriasis (whether it is for the same problem or not). How long will it take to get results using Loma Lux® Psoriasis? It depends on the person and the problem. The nickel ingredients in the liquid product can be under-absorbed. People will absorb the product at 15-50%. So the person that absorbs at a rate of 50% will most likely get results faster than the one that absorbs at a rate of 15%. Results do vary. You must take according to directions. The minimum treatment length should be at least 4 to 5 months. What time of day do I take Loma Lux® Psoriasis? Take medication orally at the beginning of the day before eating or drinking anything other than water for one hour after taking medication in order to improve absorption. What is the daily dosage amount of Loma Lux® Psoriasis?
How long will I have to take Loma Lux® Psoriasis? Will it make the problem go away forever? This also depends on the person; some will take the product for 4-8 weeks (one bottle), get good results and be able to stop taking the product for a long period of time. Some people will not be able to stop taking the product, they might try to stop but will almost immediately have a reoccurrence. Some will reduce the dose and stay on it for long-term maintenance. Some people will be able to set up a routine; for example, a woman has experimented with Loma Lux® Psoriasis and found she can take the product for four weeks, then not take it for two, then take it for four, then not… and so on. Every person will have to work out what is best for them after they’ve got their first results. Will Loma Lux® Psoriasis hurt me if I take it for a long time? The product is extremely safe and there are no side effects when taken for long periods of time, provided they are taken in the correct dosage. Yes! Homeopathic medications have been used for centuries worldwide. There are no known negative side effects with homeopathy, unlike many conventional drugs. Many prescription drugs rely on strength to over-power a disease. In the process, there can be serious side effects and toxicity problems. The theory behind homeopathics is that they work at the cellular level by stimulating the body's own natural healing ability. Can I give Loma Lux® Psoriasis to my young children?
The product is safe for children. The bottle says not to administer
to children under ten years old, but that is because the products have
not been tested for the FDA on very young children. Weight adjusted
dosing is recommenced for very small consumers. Can I take the LOMA LUX products if I’m pregnant or nursing? It is not recommended that you take the product when pregnant or nursing. The product has never been tested on unborn children or very small children. Isn’t nickel a heavy metal, toxic and causes cancer? No. Nickel is NOT a heavy metal. It is very similar to iron or cobalt (in the vitamin B-12). LOMA LUX products are NOT TOXIC. The amount of nickel in Loma Lux® Psoriasis is less than FDA and EPA standards for safe consumption in diet and drinking water. There are only micro amounts of nickel in tablet products (e.g. safe even in nickel allergic individuals). However, everything is toxic in high enough doses. It would take 50-100 times recommended doses to begin to see toxicity with Loma Lux® Psoriasis. Nickel has NEVER been shown to produce cancer even in very high doses when given orally (by mouth). Several long-term animal studies have proven this. Can I take Loma Lux® Psoriasis if I am allergic to Nickel? There are only micro amounts of nickel in Loma Lux® Psoriasis, but for individuals allergic to nickel used in costume jewelry (watches and earrings), use Loma Lux® Psoriasis only under the advice or supervision of a physician. Can I take Loma Lux® Psoriasis with other products? Loma Lux® Psoriasis is safe to use in combination therapy with other medications. Using Loma Lux® Psoriasis will not interfere with any of your prescription medications or over-the-counter medications. There are no harmful side effects. Loma Lux® Psoriasis was developed using homeopathic medicine and all-natural ingredients. What testing have you done that allows you to guarantee that there are no side effects or no other risks with this medication? Our products contain low dose, natural drug ingredients that have been accepted by FDA as safe since the 1930’s. Doctors around the world have used them for 200 years without problems. How many people have used Loma Lux® Psoriasis? Since being introduced in August 1994, our Loma Lux® Psoriasis medications have been used by hundreds of thousand of people in the United States. What is Homeopathic Medication? Homeopathy is a 200 year old medical science which uses natural substances of mineral, plant, or animal origin to stimulate the body's own immune system in order to affect a healing response. In homeopathy, symptoms are an important tool that helps point the way to an internal imbalance. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the father of Homeopathy (1755-1843), determined that symptoms were simply responses to bodily stresses which indicate an imbalance. In fact, he concluded in a positive light that symptoms are used by the body in an attempt to heal itself (e.g., a fever is not a disease but a symptom of a disease which the body uses to fight the disease); therefore, symptoms should not be suppressed, but stimulated. Based on a set of symptoms, the appropriate homeopathic medicine (remedy) acts as a catalyst to boost the body's natural defense mechanisms in order to bring about healing. Used worldwide, homeopathic remedies are based on the 'law of similars' - similia similibus curentur (let likes be cured by likes). This law is paradoxical in that when taken in large doses, a natural substance will cause the same symptoms in a healthy person as those which are caused by a specific illness. The paradox occurs when the same substance is taken in minute doses (infinitesimal or ultra-low doses) instead of causing the symptoms of the illness; it stimulates the body's natural healing defenses with no toxic side effects. In fact, to date there are no known adverse side effects from natural homeopathic remedies. Homeopathic medicine can be used as a safe and effective alternative to traditional medical practices (allopathic medicine) or in combination with traditional treatments (there are no known drug interactions between natural homeopathic medicines and traditional medicines). Since the 1800's over 2000 homeopathic medicines have been carefully tested ('proven') for their specific symptom pattern and meticulously catalogued into a comprehensive collection of homeopathic remedies. The compilations are usually named after their compiler (e.g. Kent's Materia Medica, Clark's Materia Medica). In 1833, the first United States homeopathic school was founded by Dr. Constantine Hering in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and in 1844, the American Institute of Homeopathy was founded. In 1888, the first volume of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS) was issued by the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia Convention. Substances outlined in the HPUS were then adopted by the US Congress as an official compendium (reference guide) in 1938 and are recognized as official drugs in the current Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Code of Regulations. The HPUS is continually updated to reflect current manufacturing methods and guidelines for prescription and non-prescription status of homeopathic remedies. The manufacture and sale of the homeopathic remedies offered by LOMA LUX Laboratories comply with all government rules and regulations and general goods manufacturing practices (GMP).
