Should I contact a phramacutical company and present this to them-of course without telling them what is in it until a contract or patent is signed. I want to help others with this because I know how I felt with it. What do you guys think?
Psoriasis is very difficult to cure, practically impossible sometimes. If your cure works, the world needs it.

Just in broad terms your miracle cure is going nowhere without clinical trials. Before a drug is submitted to the FDA for ratification it must be submitted to long and rigorous clinical trials on numbers of people. This is to ensure it works or is effective on a high percentage of people, and at the same time to ensure there are no noted negative side effects. Such clinical drug trials cost money.

On another point you have mixed three substances to get your active cure. There may be interactive chemistry between substances A and C and B is doing nothing, or between B and C and A is inactive, you catch my drift. Or at a more complex level, assuming your three ingredients are not simple chemicals, it could be catalytic action between components of the three substances, this would need to be replicated in a controlled chemical and understood fashion before an active drug could hope to be manufactured and marketed. I hope you have kept a pretty exact record of the percentages of the three substances you used for the mixture.

I'm not saying any of the above to put you off, it is to inform you of the likely process of verification for the cure you have found.

Before you approach any pharmaceuticals outfit my advice is you first go to some patents people and put a preliminary patent on your mixture. If you have no hold in place on your formula the drugs people will just screw you.

You may also find out by asking in the right places that some drugs companies will be good to approach and others can be sharks, bury your idea for a couple of years then bring it back under a different disguise. You must tread carefully.

Congratulations, BTW, I'm pleased to hear your home remedy worked.

Best of luck with getting it commercial.
