Does anyone know if there is a possible relation between mercury and psoriasis?

I have read (somewhere) that there is a relationship because of mercury's effects on the liver. I'm looking for the supporting information and will post it here if I find it. I used our HART On CD computer program to generate this list of supplements that may be able to help you: Supplements for psoriasis You will notice that the program suggested Milk Thistle which is a well-known liver supplement. Interesting. I hope this helps.

I have discovered something recently that I was not aware of. And it is that most people in our nation has excessive calcium in their bodies and are getting too much calcium and not enough magnesium. I have started using a liquid magnesium and have stop taking calcium because I found out from a hair analysis that I have an insane amount of calcium in my body. When there is excessive calcium without the proper ratio of magnesium the calcium doesn't absorb and it calsifies in the body which is very dangerous and causes alot of problem eventually. Click on google and type in 'excessive calcium' and you can read this yourself. It's disturbing that we are having calcium pushed onto us without being told about the magnesium and it is actually causing osteoporosis and many other illnesses. The reason I am responding to your post is because I have always had dry, scaly skin around my ankles and also on my left hand (which was puzzling to me). In no time after I started using the liquid mag the dry skin has disappeared and my skin stays soft like it has been lotioned. I am really amazed by this and am excited because alot of the symptoms that I struggle with match magnesium deficiency symptoms. So, anyway, you might want to look into this. Vicki

This is interesting and thanks for the information.
I believe it's also important to be aware that the issues with calcium come from the source.
I heard a study at a seminar in Utah a few years ago that new research found that when calcium is pasteurized, the calcium will not deposit properly and cause spurs and numerous other problems. According to this study, Doctors that stopped their patients from taking dairy had spurs and osteoporosis "go away" when they supplemented with an organic source of calcium and magnesium.
The implications of this are huge because the dairy industry and many other products like breakfast cereals and orange juice have this inorganic or pasteurized calcium.
