    I saw one remarkable case where silver foil was laid over the burned area; 
a face.  It seemed miraculous. Fireworks accident.  I can't recall if there was 
any 3rd degree, but I know there was some 2nd.  No scarring. 

    Jack Dayton added;

    not sure if this suggestion has any validity,
    but burn victims on occasion are treated with sheets of some
    type of material to lay over the burn area I think it might 
    come pre-wetted with CS and probably something in addition.

    Since the area being treated is on the surface this should accomplish
    what you are looking for.   IMHO

    Thanks for your replies,
    What your both describing, seems to be part of a Japanese acupuncture 
technique called ion-pumping. It was used on burn vistims during WWII by Yoshio 
Manaka with great results, by all accounts. I've not heard of IPA being used 
for psoriasis,but it's worth considering. If I can find a supplier for the 
ion-pumping cords, I'll try it and let you know the results-if you're 
interested.

    PS You mentioned the spray-already using this, but the pratitioners out 
there will know that patient compliance (especially if it involves repeated 
treatment) is one of the main reasons that a tried and trusted therapy doesn't 
work. Nothing does if it's sat on the shelf.
