Question about psorisis

As a psorisis sufferer who's tried a vast aray of topical treatments
and PUVA I've found that different treatments work better at different
times and that to use any topical treatment for a long period (in my case)
tends to lessen its effect. I have also found that aloe vera juice can
and large quantities of water can reduce psorisis levels sometimes - after
a particularly bad flair up recently my doctor gave me diphlucan (not sure
of spelling)for candida - my psorisis disapeared within a few days.

Do you know of any research connecting digestion / candida / toxin
levels to psorisis?

Regards.
