Question About Thickened Nails



Thank you for good information. I am wondering about toenails that have thickened considerably so that it is almost like a "clump" of cauliflower like skin under a very thickened nail. It will bleed if cut. Also one toe (next to the big toe) has become larger and is sometimes painful. Can your cure help this?

A thick toenail is a sign of improper utilization of calcium and high blood calcium. This is usually bought about by deficiencies of vitamin D, boron, magnesium, silicon and vitamin C. Finally acidic blood causes the leeching of calcium as well. For me 100 mg of silicon, 250 mg of magnesium chloride, and 2-3 grams per day of vitamin C and about 10-20 mg of boron and 1,500-3,000 I.U. of vitamin D works the best for my nail growth.

It seems to me that the speed nail growth are more related to silicon(the more it is the faster the growth), but normalization of nail growth is related to the other supplements. So if I take it for a month my nail growth becomes manageable.

Eating supplements or food that have vitamin D, boron, magnesium and vitamin C should if you give the right dosage the nail growth should be normal within a month or so.

Eating food (or baking soda) that will cause your urine to be alkalized in at least urinary 6.4 pH (see pH - the scoop) should help improve both hair and nail growth.

I have recently tested myself by maintaining a steady pH of 6.0 -6.8 for one month and found nail growth to improve also bought about by better circulation at optimal pH. Actually it is just not only the nail growth and hair, but the scaly skin also is reduced.

The reason is circulation is restricted when blood pH is below 6 causing improper circulation of the toes and finally the toenail.
