Topic: Psoriasis & Zinc Dosage

Question:

Tom,

A friend recommended 100 - 200 mg of zinc daily to alleviate my psoriasis. He said I should expect results within 60 days. What do you think and could this be harmful?

Answer:

Hello Jack,

According to Natural Healing guides, Herbs like Burdock Root, Dandelion, Goldenseal, Echinacea and red clover are recommended. Drink lots of juices like Celery, carrot, beet and apple - cleanse the LIVER! Zinc is recommended at 14 mg per day. I would ask the friend to confirm the source of his info. Sounds high to me!
