LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- For those suffering with psoriasis, the burden is often heavy. With a condition that causes red, raised patches of skin, among other symptoms, a patient must deal with the medical side of treatment while enduring cosmetic and self-image problems that come with such visible marks. To empower those in the fight against psoriasis, author and psoriasis patient Elliott Douglas Derzaph offers his new book, Psoriasis: The Struggle and the Triumph, A Healthy Transformation for Everyone Living with Psoriasis (now available through 1stBooks).
One of the most comprehensive guides for psoriasis patients, Derzaph's work has received wide professional praise. A compilation of more than 25 years of research, the book discusses everything from traditional therapies to the importance of being informed, inspired and empowered. The information is rich and practical. Because of his own intimate experience with Psoriasis, Derzaph is able to connect with fellow sufferers and families. Truly an inspirational book, Psoriasis: The Struggle and the Triumph is "a step-by-step guide to consciously re-empower the sufferer, release overwhelming frustration and re-integrate the individual into a healthier, stress-free, optimal lifestyle."
Nearly 8 million people live with this condition in the United States and Canada, yet many patients feel alone. Offering accurate data and information on building emotional strength, Psoriasis: The Struggle and the Triumph serves as an invaluable guide for patients willing to take charge of their condition.
"This book helps the psoriatic patient understand the many options available... in helping to control the condition - a clear, concise reference manual" writes Dr. John O.A. Pagano, chiropractic physician, award winning author of HEALING PSORIASIS: The Natural Alternative.
A professional entrepreneur, consultant and researcher, Derzaph specializes in the field of "Emotional Intelligence," for which he received a U.S. registered trademark in 1994. He resides in California with his wife, who is an attorney, and spirited young son, and continues his research and holds forums on personal development and advanced philosophical pursuits.
