Guest guest Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hello, I have been taking iodine for 3 months now. I take about 260 mg lugols for an ovary cyst. My hair stop falling but now I have brittle nails. I take all supplements and salt and have had little detox symptoms, just a few headaches. This week I noticed all my right hand finger nails are flaking...I know that is usually a sign of lack of vitamins...I take a multi-vitamin with my other supplements... I am just wondering if this is a detox symptom or just a coincidence. Any ideas? Thanks! Letmar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Might not be related to iodine. Look at soaps, detergent you're using. Any changes? Washing hands more often? Meatless diet makes my nails flake and split. Any diet changes? Lilly > > Hello, > I have been taking iodine for 3 months now. I take about 260 mg lugols for an ovary cyst.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Do you have psoriasis? Nail " pitting " can also be a sign of psoriatic arthritis. Laralee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
