Galahad~~~~~Zinc info

[barbaranoela]

Good day to U Galahad---

anyhoo----this is what I am taking Zinc Sulfate Caps--220mg--pink --1 a day

I googled and all that stuff but it appears to be OK(as far as I understood)---but knowing ME and how everything works in REVERSE I am still calling up GP tomorrow---

Here and there I know that he is trying very hard to resume my senses of taste and smell--but not at the Xpense of having these god awful headaches!!!

and thanks alot--

Morning, Mrs. Columbo,

You're right, of course, that's a safe dose. I was wondering if you might be taking much more than that, but the dose you're taking is only 50mg of zinc per day, which shouldn't cause any problems for anyone. I don't see anything in the ingredient list that should cause problems, so I don't understand why it would be causing headaches.

I take it that your senses of smell and taste haven't shown any response yet. Did your doctor offer any thoughts on how long it might take to show any improvment?

Luve,
Galahad

Nope-----they really dont know/nor have an answer as to where--why--and how??? and I am tired of being poked probed and whatever~~~

I even hate calling him----thankfully he doesnt make me feel like I am a neurotic person --anytime I had an issue--all he said--*ok than stop taking the meds*

Anyway I am sure my blood workups would show a Zinc problem~~~

Thanks for the assurance---

Blood analysis for mineral status gives different results to hair analysis.

Hair shows what is happening over a period of several months (the time it takes the hair to grow), and some minerals show up better in hair.

There are lots of labs you can find by googling 'mineral hair analysis' eg: http://www.safelabs.com.au/hairanalysis.htm

I have used a local lab here a couple of times, and it showed some interesting results - nasty stuff like lead and mercury, but also a serious excess of copper, and lack of molybdenum. It can be the relationships between minerals that are as important eg the ratio of zinc/copper is important.
