nail ridges

[Guest guest]

Anyone remember what causes ridges in nails, and cracking

fingernail tips?…I thought I remember underlying cause could be some type

of mineral deficiency, and adrenal fatigue. Thanks, Sally

Nutritional deficiency is what we were told in nail

school. They're called corrigated nails.

I think you'll find calcium to be the deficiency.

Nail ridges and waves in the nails come from the liver (Traditional

Chinese Medicine). A good mineral supplement should help as will any

liver cleanse that isn't toxic to the patient. The liver ideally

likes the chi to be gentle, like a breeze, not windy, which causes the

internal chi to get zigzaggedy and thus shows up in the nails. Used

to be that eating a sheet of nori a day would help but as I've been

sharing, nori is loaded with arsenic and many of the sea vegetables

are too. Nail ridges don't clear up quickly in my experience. is

Can also be a lack of stomach acid causing mineral malabsorption-

may need supplementation

can do this test to check;

A level teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda dissolved in some water should be

drunk on an empty stomach. The bicarbonate of soda should be converted into

gas by stomach acid, causing significant bloating and belching within five

to ten minutes. If there is little or no belching, this could indicate low

stomach acid in which cause supplementation could be of benefit,

They can appear both directions. But vertical ridges usually indicates poor general health, poor nutrient absorption, and or an iron deficiency, also may indicate kidney problems. The horizontal lines usually appear under severe stress. milligans <milligans@...> wrote: Can also be a lack of stomach acid causing mineral malabsorption-may need supplementationcan do this test to check;A level teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda dissolved in some water should bedrunk on an empty stomach.

Taking lemon/lime with meals is a way to provide the acid that will help mineral absorption. Drinking the diluted lemon/lime juice with a straw is a good way to do that without damaging the teeth.Andrée ThouinLe 07-03-06 à 04:17, milligans a écrit :Can also be a lack of stomach acid causing mineral malabsorption-may need supplementationcan do this test to check;A level teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda dissolved in some water should bedrunk on an empty stomach.

Look to the liver for nail ridges. If they don't clear up thru

mineral supplementation, a mineral hair analysis might help to show

which minerals one is deficient in. If you do everything you can

think of to get the nails smooth and healthy looking, you might

consider that the person is a WOOD constitution, that anger is their

weak link in five elements. The ridges would indicate wind problems

(spring time). Liver likes to be nice and calm, not jerky, but it's

hard to be nice and calm in a world that is chaotic. In the last l0

years I've seen more and more ridged nails which can also come from

being rigid in spirit. is Rotella, M.Ac., CNC

I attended a class with Dr. Chi in California on Tongue and Fingernail

Analysis. Here are some of the causes he has studied and found

concerning the fingernail ridges. I'll see if I can summarize the

main points from his book " Dr. Chi's Method of Fingernail and Tongue

Analysis, " pp. 29-40. His book and class offer Chinese herb protocols

for addressing the issues found (although the analysis part of it is

thoroughly fascinating!). I suggest you see the book to see the

photographs...easier to see than to describe.

1) Vague vertical or horizontal ridges are normal.

2) Vertical ridges covering most of the nail refer to kidney, aging

(hormone), nerve or respiratory problems.

3) Ridges that are only on the thumbs may indicate excretory system

conditions.

4) Ridges that are on all fingers but not the thumb indicate

respiratory problems.

5) Nails with vertical dark banding (discoloration) generally indicate

melanoma on the skin.

6) If nails have vertical ridges that can easily split down the

middle, then this could be due to adrenal gland problems.

7) Nails detached from the flesh or full of ridges in appearance may

be the result of a fungal infection.

8) Nails that are thin with high edges and a dip in the middle (like a

spoon) reveals a hemoglobin deficiency. This person could also be

suffering from anemia or rheumatoid fever, or contain hookworms or

syphilis...and possibly hyperthyroidism.

9) Nails with deep horizontal dips/lines indicate a major illness or

external damage on the hand (fyi...look at your nail from base to tip

as a 6-month timeline since that's about how long it takes to

grow...so if you have a ridge halfway down the nail, that's some

emotional or physical trauma about 3 months ago...or near the end of

the nail may indicate 5-6 months ago...it's scary how accurate this is

and I've found it occurs when fasting too).

10) If the horizontal dips are very shallow but continuous over nail,

then the person lacks essential nutrients, is under stress, or has

poor circulation and heart disease (which is usually one very deep

dip).

11) Horizontal white lines are most commonly caused by chronic kidney

problems (urine protein). They can also be caused by other things

such as arsenic or lead poisoning and/or Hutchinson's disease.

Then, we could get into spots and other markings. I'm most fascinated

with the lunalae (or moons) on the fingers.

We're supposed to have good moons at the base of all fingers except

the pinky (Thumb should be bigger and I think moons should be more

than 2-3mm, but it is not more than 1/4th of the nail size).

If you don't have good moons, then this indicates poor oxygen levels

in the cells (symptoms of cold hands and feet, numbness in parts of

the body).

If there are no moons on some of these fingers, then that's poor

circulation. No moons at all often indicates anemia, depression,

and/or low blood pressure.

If the person has two large moons on pinkies, then person is more apt

to suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease.

Dr. Chi diagnosed my conditions (lung/oxygen, poor circulation) and

I'm happy to announce that after about 2 months using the EPFX, I got

moons back on my fingers! It usually takes about 3 months to show up

after doing something about the conditions.

I have that. My NRT specialist found that I had a weak parathyroid, weak

mineral uptake and weak left lung. He continued to find that I had a parasite,

parasite III, to be exact, for which I am taking SP wormwood. The parasite is

taking all of my minerals, so I suspect once I get rid of those critters, my

nails will become smooth. I also have terrible bone loss in my jaw.

I can't say enough about a good Nutritional Response Testing practitioner to

help find the exact cause. I could take all the minerals in the world and it

wouldn't help me.

I had those. Nails were wavy across the board too. That, and white spots.

Iodine, vit D, diatamaceous earth, and B6 phosphate, and zinc.

The B6 with phosphate is needed to get the zinc. Most likely cause of the wavy nail..

Some EFA from coconut oil would be good.

Hi allI have just noticed a very pronounced vertical ridge in one of my fingernails. I'm sure it wasn't there when I filed my nail a couple of weeks ago. Is this simply another hypothyroid symptom?ThanksKathy

Here is some related info.

Use food grade Diatamaceous earth to get rid of the parasites. It will scrape them like broken glass till they drop out. Don't breathe it in. Give it to your animals, too.

http://www.earthworkshealth.com/products.php?gclid=CIigwNmxtaQCFQpV5wodL2cWxw

Take tablespoon with water every day. Your hair and skin will become very nice. Its silica, something our food has been robbed of. Like Iodine. Google it.

Bone jaw loss from no silica is possible.

First mineral to replace is zinc. Get zinc drink and vit B6 phosphated. When you taste the zinc you are O.K. May take 6 bottles till you can taste it. That is the only valid test. The prostate really wants it.

Zinc and bones

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6507342?dopt=Abstract

Symptoms of Zinc Deficiency Deficiencies of zinc have been linked to:

Delayed skeletal maturation and defective mineralization of bone (monkeys)

Weight loss Intercurrent infections Hypogonadism in males Lack of sexual development in females Growth retardation Dwarfism Delayed puberty in adolescents Rough skin Poor appetite Mental lethargy Delayed wound healing

Short stature Diarrhea

Pneumonia Stretch marks (striae) White spots on fingernails Reduction in collagen turnover and synthesis (in chicks) Reduction in collagen (in humans)

Poor Immune system Acne Cross-linking of collagen Hyaluronic acid abnormalities (in swine) Defective connective tissue Macular degeneration Cataracts (in salmon) Teeth with black plaque like deposits (rats)

Silica lowers bad cholesterol and raises good

Silica fades age spots

Silica stimulates metabolism for higher energy levels

Diatomaceous earth has a negative charge and bacteria has a positive charge. It is believed that diatomaceous earth sweeps bacteria out of the body by trapping it in it's honeycomb shaped skeletal form.

Silica supplementation helps repair and maintain vital lung tissues and protects them from pollution. By maintaining or restoring the elasticity of lung tissues, silica reduces inflammation in bronchitis.

It acts as a cough decreasing agent. Silica tones the upper respiratory tract (nose, pharynx, larynx) and reduces swelling because of its positive action on the lymphatic system.

Silica supplementation keeps menopause free of stress and helps to prevent many unwanted side-effects of menopause

Silica works with other antioxidants to prevent premature aging and to preserve youthfulness.

Silica can help prevent kidney stones and heal infections of the urinary tract. It is a natural diuretic which can increase excretion of urine by 30 percent, thus flushing the water-excreting system and restoring normal function to these vital organs.

The presence of sufficient silica in the intestines will reduce inflammation of the intestinal tract. It can cause disinfection in the case of stomach and intestinal mucus and ulcers. Silica can prevent or clear up diarrhea and its opposite, constipation.

Silica will help normalize hemorrhoidal tissues.

In regulating and normalizing the bowels, silica has a pleasant side effect; it can alleviate lower back pain, which often troubles the elderly.

Silica proves effective with female discharge, abscesses and ulcers in the genital area and cervix, as well as mastitis (especially for breast feeding mothers).

The intake of silica acts as a supportive treatment for inflammation of the middle ear. Because of the beneficial effectiveness on the lymphatic system, silica can be used for swelling of the lymph nodes in the throat.

Has anti-inflammatory disinfecting, absorbing and odor binding effects.

Silica can normalize circulation and regulate high blood pressure (hypertension).

Silica can decrease vertigo, headache, tinnitus (buzzing of the ears) and insomnia.

Silica can help diabetes by promoting synthesis of elastase inhibitor by the pancreas.

Silica can help arterial disease by strengthening the blood vessels. Studies confirm that with age, silica disappears from the aorta, the heart's key blood vessel thus weakening its critical connective tissue and resulting in a greater cardiac risk.

Silica can help prevent Tuberculosis.

By improving the elasticity of the joints, silica helps rheumatism.

Silica has inhibitory effects on coronary diseases.

Silica can help avoiding or alleviating Alzheimers disease by preventing the body from absorbing aluminum and may flush out aluminum from the tissues. Silica can stimulate the immune system.
