It is used to rebuild the healthy bacteria in your intestinal tract. Majority of your immunity is based in your intestinal tract, your skin, tendons, ligaments and lymph nodes make up the other majority of your immune system. Hence, when you create a healthy environment in your digestive tract you help out your other immune systems (skin, lymphs, joints, etc). Hope this answer helps.
Acidophilus is the good bacteria in your gut. It eats/consumes the bad bacteria in your stomach. I have taken it before, but not for that condition. It is mainly used for intestinal care, as far as I know.
You may want to try a product called Xango. It is the 100% unprocessed juice from the fruit called the mangosteen. It has wonderful powers to aid in all kinds of ailments. I am not a big believer in all natural products as they seem to be a farce alot of the time. But Xango is the real deal. My dad took it when his prostate became enlarged. He drank it daily for about 3 mos. and noticed a great reduction in the size of his prostate.
I know of a distributor if you are interested. I buy my Xango from this distributor as well and she is very reliable. Contact me thru my yahoo email.

There are many benefits to taking a probiotic. I am not aware of any direct connection between a lack of probiotic and psoriasis. A probiotic is way to increase your body's good bacteria. At this time, what causes psoriasis is not known. However, based on current research it is believed the immune system plays a role in psoriasis. For people that suffer from psoriasis it is important to maintain a healthy colon. The probiotic will help with this. However, you should cleanse your colon at two to three times per year. I use a product called Oxy-Powder, which is a oxygen based intestinal cleanser. I have used for awhile and I feel great. The company that makes the Oxy-powder also carries a great probiotic as well. The Latero-Flora which their spore bearing probiotic. I hope this helps you.
