Warning: Raptiva Drug Can Cause Deadly Brain Infection
I would like to warn people about the Psoriasis drug Raptiva. The said drug has the possibility to cause a very rare but very deadly brain infection (viral) disease which is called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).
According to Raptiva PML, Psoriasis is “a chronic immune-system disease which causes thick, red, scaly patches to appear on the surface of the skin. Psoriasis is associated with diabetes, heart disease, and obesity and as many 30 percent of psoriasis patients also develop psoriatic arthritis.”
And taking the drug Raptiva, the case may worsen into another disease. If unfortunate happens to the taker of the drug, the person might suffer to PML. PML sometimes acquired by people who have cancer, immunosuppressive theraphy, those who have gone organ transplant, and mostly, to those who have AIDS.
Do not take this as another blog post of mine. There are already those who suffered from PML after taking the Raptiva drug. So be alert and know about this drug.
If you or you know anyone, especially your love ones are taking the drug Raptiva, you must know your rights. Check out http://www.youhaverights.com/dangerous-drugs/raptiva to learn more about the drug and the disease it may cause, and see what you can do about it. They have a live chat. You can also call their hotline at toll free. Fight for your rights. I am happy to know that there are organizations who help people with such case.

You said- “Psoriasis is associated with diabetes, heart disease, and obesity”
This fact couldn’t be more WRONG! If you are going to try and back up a non-curable disease please get your facts straight. Psoriasis is genetic. It is caused all by the work of white blood cells. Certain factors such as stress and poor nutrition can cause flare ups, but being overweight won’t give it to me or make a difference if I already have it. Considering I suffer with the disease from head to toe and have had it covering me for the last 15 years of my life and I have a nursing background I know my info, and I am far from worrying about getting diabetes or heart disease. Although you could have gotten this off any website.
While I appreciate your cause you should get your facts straight before hand. If more accurate information was out there for the viewing maybe their would be more research for it.
