PSORIASIS SUFFERER BREAKS SILENCE ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE WITH NISIM

“This is helping me”

Psoriasis in the scalp

I am one of the about 120,000 Norwegians suffering from psoriasis. As an active member of the Psoriasis Associations in the county of Oppland, Norway, I have contributed to the work of providing information and guidance to people concerning the great challenges posed by psoriasis. There may not be as many remedies offered for psoriasis as there are Norwegians suffering from the disease, – but there are plenty, and most of the treatments claim ambitious results, – but have small effects. No remedies have had any effect on my scalp despite my 25 years of actively searching for effective treatments. It is strange that science has not yet come up with a satisfactory solution to this problem with which so many people are struggling.

In October last year my daughter, who is a hair dresser in the town of Gjøvik, Norway, gave me a NISIM shampoo and NISIM Gel Extract. She had received some samples, – to which she was rather skeptical, but – according to the supplier – should be effective against scalp disorders and hair loss. As an experienced “guinea pig” I considered this interesting, but thought it only to be a variation of the several products I have previously tried. I could not have been more wrong.

I have now used the NISIM shampoo and the Extract for about 5 months and there is no trace left of psoriasis in my scalp. In addition there is substantial regrowth of new hair in places where all hair had been lost. The psoriasis vanished after 4-5 weeks and new hair started growing after 6 weeks – quite unbelievable since I have had psoriasis in my scalp for 40 years and no hair at all on the top of my head for the last 10 years.

My experiences are not unique since I have heard of – and seen – that the NISIM products have been very efficient on many other people. The product may not be equally effective for everybody, but in my case the problems vanished shortly after I started using the shampoo and the extract. I now only hope they will continue to work. After 40 years – and now with a scalp without a trace of psoriasis, and with lots of new hair, – the situation is almost too good to be true!

According to the supplier, NISIM Scandinavia, NISIM’s products are primarily used to prevent loss of hair. They claim that the combination of herbs provides the scalp with amino acids, herbs and nutrients which carefully normalize the balance in the scalp. The ‘side effects’ on psoriasis that I experienced are quite unbelievable.

My 25 years in the Association have told me to be very cautious in recommending any types of treatments. We are all the time testing new products that could be of help to the many thousands struggling with psoriasis. Many products have been on the market, but very few actually have good effect on psoriasis. My recent experience may perhaps call for some reconsidering. May be science after all has taken a step in the right direction.
