At my house, folic acid and B2.

At my house, sinus issues were usually related to yeast overgrowth.

Eczema was usually caused by food intolerance.

Hair loss was biotin deficiency, which was also one of the underlying

reasons my son's body had difficulty controlling yeast. Try taking

biotin, see if the sinus and hair issues lessen or disappear.

" Eczema " around the groin can also be related to yeast.

Hi, .

I was just reading about B2 and found this:

" What are deficiency symptoms for vitamin B2?

Many of the early-stage deficiency symptoms for riboflavin involve

eye-related problems. These problems include excessive sensitivity to

light, tearing, burning and itching in and around the eyes, and loss

of clear vision. Soreness around the lips, mouth, and tongue, and

cracking of the skin at the corners of the mouth are symptoms that

can also be characteristic of riboflavin deficiency. Peeling of the

skin, particularly around the nose, or in men around the scrotum, can

also indicate lack of vitamin B2. "

Biotin might help w/ the hair loss. Or it sounds like you need a good

B complex.

Please let me know if the dry eyes go away as my husband suffers from

this too.

Thanks for the research, .

Come to think of it, I've ceased taking B complex for many

years & looks like I need to resume it.

I've also ceased Multivitamin for years & only 2 years back

I resumed my multivit : the multivit helped a little with eczema

but not much.

I've also tried Evening Primrose oil (2000mg/day) but it helped

little with eczema

I'll post the results after a week or so

Thanks
