I want to preface this review with some history: Last month a friend told me about how Zinc helped her son with his acne. After taking 10mg in the morning and night for 2 weeks, his acne was completely cleared. So I began taking 50mg/day. Within just 1-2 weeks a patch of psoriasis on my scalp began to disappear. That is amazing because it had been there for at least 4-5 years. I first noticed significant psoriasis on my scalp in 1990. So, I have put up with it now for 24 years!
When I turned 50 I began using a topical steroid which eliminated the psoriasis for 2 years - but then I began to have bumps on my nose that wouldn't go away. Through research I learned that it was a side effect of long-term topical steroid use. I quit it cold turkey but experienced greater rebound psoriasis over multiple areas such as my back and abdomen. (The Merck manual states that this will happen when discontinuing systemic steroids) Soon I also suffered polymyalgia for a year, which I believe could have been triggered by the steroid also.
Then I bought the book “Healing Psoriasis.” I learned a lot from this book, especially about the need to eliminate “nightshade” plant foods from the diet because of their toxic properties. I did more research to confirm this. The website, “noarthritis.com” was very helpful in this regard. After giving up most nightshade plant foods I experienced a significant reduction in the psoriasis very quickly – within a month. The large lesions on my elbows almost completely disappeared. And the scalp was less bothersome but it still persisted to some extent, especially at the edge of my hairline.
After starting the zinc last month and seeing results, it gave me hope. I pulled out the book “Healing Psoriasis” again and reread it. It does not mention zinc – but the doctor of chiropractic who wrote it had great success healing psoriasis, largely through diet – and I believe the diet he recommend would improve mineral and vitamin content for anyone. So, I am now enthusiastically eating a more healthy diet AND taking zinc. I really believe the outstanding amazing results I am experiencing are mostly because of the zinc! If I continue to progress as I am, by Christmas the psoriasis that I have lived with for 24 years will be gone!!!
I will be eternally grateful! My husband is happy because he knows better than anyone how much this means to me. I would have gladly given up a million dollars to experience this benefit. Who would have guessed that all I needed was a $10 bottle of zinc added to a more vegan-type, no-nightshade diet!
I want to shout it from the hills and help others. As a nurse I know the pharmaceutical companies will never share or promote such a cure because there is no money in it. Just as magnesium sulfate can often cure seizures but the pharmaceutical companies are not interested in using cheap minerals to help anyone.
I highly recommend following the book’s advice regarding the elimination of nightshade plants, eating a heathier diet and taking zinc supplements. By the way, Walmart sells a diaper cream that is 40% zinc. I tried it on some psoriasis lesions behind my ears and it is helpful, although it is white in appearance. Knowing beforehand that zinc cream can be helpful, helped me to trust that systemic zinc could be very beneficial.

It had been getting worse and worse lately
I’ve had psoriasis my entire life. It had been getting worse and worse lately. I have avoided any systemic medications because the side effects are all so scary. It had finally gotten so bad, however, covering my knees, elbows, and abdomen, that I went to my doctor to talk about a new medication that came out (Otezla) that works slightly differently and was no so scary sounding. She was enthusiastic but warned that the insurance company probably wouldn’t pay for it until I tried all the others first. She was right. I was still not willing to try the others though.Then I stumbled on this book in a blog somewhere and decided to give it a try. I had tried the paleo auto-immune protocol which helped somewhat but never cleared my skin up entirely. I read the online preview and started the diet protocol while waiting for the book to arrive. The book mentions that patience is required and it can take 3-4 months to see any changes. For me they were immediate.For the first week my energy was very low but now it is better than ever, staying level throughout the day to the point that I have cut out caffeine as well and feel no need for it.Basically there is no reason not to try what is suggested in the book. It's a very healthy diet for pretty much anyone, regardless of whether or not they have psoriasis.
