Broken Nails

Shoot.

Just that I haven't had cod liver oil since I was a kid ... and Mom would hold my nose, pry my head back, and force it down my throat.

Zinc!?!?

They come in tablet form nowadays…

Most yogurt containers are 5.3 oz. It's weird how they used the 8oz. as a guide.

No, my Yoplait is in 6oz containers.

What the heck do they say ... protein 6 grams! Whaaa? Oh, okay ... their plain is 11 grams and that's per 6oz rather than 8oz. Shoot. They must put quite a lot of other stuff into their fruit flavored products.

Honestly, I would only put the barest of teaspoons of apricot preserves in the bowl of plain Greek. I've only bought it in the larger 2 pound containers and don't think it comes with fruit in that size.

@bobm , I remember Mom trying gelatin for awhile. She lived well into her 80's and I don't remember her doing that late in life. She was long troubled by broken nails so it may have been much earlier.

I have heard about using Knox gelatin to encourage healthy nail growth for at least 50 years.
But Steve, if your problem is always in the same place, maybe an old injury to the nailbed has permanently altered the growth pattern.

Castor oil, Digits...for your digit. Castor oil is used for many, many things but one is for the rapid regrowth of hair and hoof on horses. You may also find an added benefit for its use, it's a great topical anti-inflammatory agent and has been used in the race horse industry for centuries to help a horse get over an injury quicker so that it might race~I can tell you that it lasts longer than any pill I've taken for pain and is generally more effective, though a little goopy on the skin~it's odorless, tasteless(now), but high viscosity, so it takes a while to completely absorb.

Can be found at any pharmacy at a reasonable price. You should have seen how fast my old rooster's new scales and spurs grew back with just a couple applications of CO...it was amazing to see. For your thumb I'd just keep a bottle of it handy and make it a nightly ritual to apply some to your thumbnail and massage it in to the surrounding tissue. I'm betting you'll see some difference there.

Got achy knees? Try it there too and see what you think...it works great!

Try cutting the finger off the end of a glove (latex/nitrile) to put over the CO covered finger for the night. A bit of tape keeps the finger-piece on and the product working through the night and off the sheets.

Caster oil, eh?

Knees are okay. That thumbnail is connected to a sore wrist, elbow and shoulder. The drinkin' bone's connected to the party bone. The party bone's connected to the ...

The left thumbnail is somewhat deformed one. Probably because I have hit it too many times with a hammer. But, it isn't split ... just flattened .

Rub it on up on those joints...you may be surprised at the results.
