Re: Dry and cracked lips...

[Guest guest]

My son gets sniffly with winter allergies (some sort of black mold on the backs

of the fallen leaves...). When it gets bad and he starts mouth breathing, his

lips get dry, he starts licking them and rubbing them...boom they're chapped.

Sometimes he ends up with a red mustache!

Anyway, we treat the congestion as well as the lips and things resolve. We give

extra C, magnesium, B6, B5 and Quercetin - which is part of an asthma/allergy

protocol we have from a Bock book on asthma. It helps, but if that

doesn't work, we give a sugar-free nasal antihistamine.

son keeps dry and crack lips no matter how much we put on vaseline, a & d

ointment, coconut oil, and other lip balsms. Its hard to keep it on him while

awake because licks it off. Is there something hes missing in his diet or some

vitamins that he is lacking. If you have this problem or have a solution please

share. Thanks in advance. The s

For me, that's a sign I need to up the liver support and 5-mthf (active folate).

If there are cracks at the sides of the mouth, consider giving more riboflavin

and some form of carnitine (we use acetyl l-carnitine but some prefer

l-carnitine).

At my house, this was usually B2 deficiency but sometimes was folic acid

deficiency or yeast overgrowth.
