Guest guest Posted April 16, 1999 Report Share Posted April 16, 1999 A zinc deficiency may cause the development of whites spots on the nails. White bands across the nails are an indication of a protein deficiency. A half-white nail with dark spots at the tips points to possible kidney disease. Nails raised at the base, with small, white ends, show a repiratory disorder or this can simply be inherited. Two white hortizonal bands that do not move as the nail grows is a sgn of a protein deficiency. White lines can show a possible heart disease, high fever or arsenic posioning. White lines across the nail may indicate liver disease. White nails indicate possible liver or kidne disorders and/or anemia. White nails with pink near the tips are a sign of cirrhosis. Harsh chemicals can damage the nails and so can artifical nails.

Horizonal ridges can occur as a result of severe stress, either physical or emotional, such as an infection and or disease. Ridges running up and down the nails usually indicates a tendency to developing arthritis.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 Somebody recently mentioned a nail problem & I lost the thread. I took Dr. Weil's advice & improvement was noticeable in 5 or 6 weeks & went on to become quite significant. http://www.drweil.com/database/display/0,1412,89,00.html ron _____________ Get the FREE email that has everyone talking at http://www.mail2world.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
