wow that covers lots of things but do you know what deficient vitamin or mineral results in these symptom?

[shelley]

Yes, but there are usually several. I hope to make up a table/chart of symptoms, nutrients, gland weaknesses and dehydration so you can see how they are all connected. Until then, visit www.acu-cell.com it's the very best resource on vitamins.

Just noticed this old thread, and was extremely excited by the thought of such a chart. If you ever get some time spare it'd be fantastic to see it, would really clarify and elucidate a lot of deficiency issues - which I definitely have!

I"m having trouble figuring out how to make the chart more 3-dimensional. Guess I have to have double headings or something like that. A lot of things can be both vitamins and hormones, only way to rule out hormones is to get tested. Hmmmm....

Hi Shelley,

I would like to know about the following in particular ... I may have some idea but perhaps i'm wrong hence if this is the case can u PLEASE correct me, I appreciate it immensly

Cravings: NOT enough protein ?

Quick to Anger, Irritability: Hormonal imbalance/diet/vitamins-mineral imbalance ...

Any eye complaint ?? In particular very red irritated eyes: Toxic liver and blood ??

Stretch marks: Not enough skin foods ?

Losing hair: Anemia/low Iron ?

Constipation : Not enough fiber ?

Pale tongue : Candida ?

Heavily calloused feet:
This i have "no" idea whatsoever
but i would really love to know for sure since it applies to me

THANK-U !!

That's mostly toxic liver and lack of essential fatty acids. You can't have balanced hormones or thin-skinned feet unless you have strong digestion and lots of good, fresh EFAs. Zinc is also important.

Hi again,
I do take 1-2 tbsp Olive oil daily ... as far as Zinc: I eat Beef/Eggs/Parmesan cheese/Oatmeal 2-3x per week ... and
I'm on the birthcontrol pill for my crazy hormones ... hence, it must definately be a toxic liver and a weak digestion ...
however; I'm working on that Thanks to u and this wonderful informative site/FAQ
