Should be, though who knows, perhaps there is some synergistic effect of having a large dose of zinc in immediate proximity to the cod liver oil or something. Red meat is rich in zinc... ginger is slightly higher, however it's much harder to eat a quarter pound patty of ginger than a hamburger!!! :-P Oysters are by far superior to anything else in zinc, having 150 mg per gram, as opposed to 7 mg (or is it mcg?) per gram. (I think it's mg.) Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 It is my understanding that zinc is the last mineral to be bioavilable. I have friend who used to take it in the middle of the night so it would not be blocked by other minerals. If you are unsure as to whether or not you need zinc, get a product call Zinc Drink and taste it. If it tastes awful you don't need it, but if you can taste it then you you are low in zinc. If you don't need it,it will taste metallic. Horid! Taking too much zinc will make you feel ill. I also remember reading zinc is high in pumpkin seeds.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 A Natural Approach to Curing and Preventing Acne By Dr. Ben Kim DrBenKim.com Of the many health challenges that I help people overcome through natural methods, one of my favorites is acne. It’s a favorite because I have yet to meet a person who hasn’t recovered from acne, no matter how severe the case, with appropriate changes in diet and lifestyle. Once a person identifies and addresses the root causes of acne, it predictability melts away. There is nothing quite like seeing the relief and happiness that people experience as they recover from acne that they have suffered with for months or years. I will never forget one gentleman – a professor at a top naturopathic school – whose chronic acne completely disappeared within two weeks of following my suggestions. Tears filled his eyes as he spoke about the many years he suffered with acne despite trying numerous creams, cleansers, nutritional supplements, and oral drugs. Many people in developed countries suffer with acne at some point in their lives. Rather than identify and address the root causes of acne, many people turn to creams, cleansers, and sometimes drugs to relieve their symptoms. While these approaches may produce temporary results for some, they rarely lead to lasting improvement because they do not take into account dietary and lifestyle factors that cause acne to begin with. These symptom-based approaches reminds me of a time when my kitchen faucet broke off and a powerful geyser of water exploded upward, taking a bite out of the ceiling. My first reaction was to cram the broken faucet in place. It took every last bit of my strength to hold this faucet down against the upward force of water. If I budged even a bit, water would shoot out in all directions with incredible force. Being the quick thinker that I am, I stood there for about five minutes, growing exhausted from holding this faucet down. It finally dawned on me that I had to reach down underneath the sink and turn off the water supply. During the few seconds it took for me to let go of the broken faucet and reach down to turn off the water supply, it was like having an open fire hydrant in my kitchen. The kitchen and I ended up soaked, but it sure felt great to know that no more water would come flying out of the broken faucet! When I see people use creams, cleansers, and drugs to deal with acne, I can’t help but think that they are trying awfully hard to solve their problem, just as I struggled to hold the water down with the broken faucet, when a more effective and permanent solution exists. You can use creams, cleansers and drugs to deal with acne with temporary and limited success, but wouldn’t it be way better to keep acne from developing in the first place? I’m sure that once you identify and address the root causes of acne, you will feel just as relieved and happy as I did when I made that final turn on the water supply valve. Here are my guidelines to solving acne naturally: Avoid the worst triggers of acne; pasteurized dairy products, fried and deep-fried foods, hydrogenated oils, sugar, salty snacks, preservatives like sulphates, and highly processed foods that contain gluten. Eat mainly whole, unprocessed foods, with vegetables making up at least 50% of the total volume of your diet. Specifics of your ideal diet depend on a variety of factors, including your body type, ethnic background, health history, and current health status. Get enough sleep to feel refreshed when you wake up. It is during deep, restful sleep that your body is able to most efficiently repair damaged skin. Do not rub your acne with abrasive towels or loofahs. Aggressively rubbing your acne can cause the underlying infection to spread, which can result in new spots. Sometimes, abrasive rubbing can create enough irritation to cause an infection that leads to acne. Instead of rubbing your face dry after washing, make it a habit to pat dry or even air dry. Use as little soap and make-up as possible. Using soap on a daily basis is only necessary if you work with gas, coal, or oil. For most people who don’t wear make up, washing with cold water is enough to have clean and healthy skin. Washing with only cold water is what people have done through most of world history. If your weather allows, expose your skin to sunshine each day, even if it’s for a few minutes. Just be sure not to burn yourself. Natural sunlight has remarkable healing and recuperative powers for your skin. Consider taking a high quality probiotic. Having lots of good bacteria living in your intestines will provide protection against toxins that can contribute to acne formation. Lots of good bacteria in your intestines is also helpful for your immune system, which plays a significant role in maintaining healthy skin. If you are not seeing changes as quickly as you would like, consider doing a short water or juice fast, which can accelerate healing of your skin. Suzi What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 One might find that the skin starts to clear up, somewhat, or, quite a bit, through the use of MMS. Because it is helping to cleanse the cells and the bodies. This also means that debris in the cells leaves, to some extent and the skin looks clearer and healthier. Also, check a Jim Humble article on MMS for the skin: http://jimhumble.biz/?page_id=31 - Marilyn - At 09:50 AM 12/29/2008 -0800, seth sato wrote: >Does anyone know how to treat acne with MMS?
