Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hmmm... I would check this site to see if anything can be linked it it. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient & dbid=109 i.e. it says " Supplemental intake of vitamin C at gram-level doses can interfere with copper<http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient & dbid=53>metabolism. Conversely, vitamin C can significantly enhance iron <http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient & dbid=70> uptake and metabolism, even at food-level amounts. " So I would look up copper and iron and see what the symptoms of deficiency and overdose are. On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 12:34 AM, Arias <thinkingheads@...>wrote: > I started taking Vit.

I stopped the Vit.C and it went away. What > could that mean? At my house, B12 and TMG caused heel cracks because they depleted folic acid. Adding folic acid caused baby smooth skin and no heel cracks. Lysine caused heel cracks when it was no longer needed. I had to give some arginine for a few days to correct the imbalance. Vitamin C required carnitine here for proper absorption, so you might try adding that. But if it still causes heel cracks, I would be suspicious that you might not need it.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 In my house a low thyroid or candida on the skin/feet causes cracked heels. It might be coincidence that it went away, keep watching. > > I started taking Vit. C, and I began getting really dry cracked skin > on the heels of my feet. I stopped the Vit.C and it went away.
