DEAR DR. GOTT:
My son developed eczema at the age of two months. He then developed psoriasis at one year. A friend of mine told me to give him fresh goat’s milk. Within six months, his eczema was gone and his psoriasis was under control.

My son is now 54 years old. He continues to drink goat’s milk. He purchases ½ gallon of the unpasteurized variety, and a quart of goat’s milk yogurt once a week from a local farm. This simply remedy has continued to keep his psoriasis in check and eczema at bay all these years without any doctor’s medicine.

DEAR READER:
This is a new treatment to me for two common skin ailments. I am glad to hear that your son has benefited from this simple remedy for so many years.

I would not recommend using unpasteurized milk of any variety, especially for babies or children, but I cannot argue with success. I have, therefore, chosen to print your letter for reader interest. My only alteration would be use the pasteurized variety which reduces the risk of getting sick due to bacteria in the milk.

Readers, let me know what you think.
