Q. I had my blood taken because my hands and feet are always cold, and my doctor says that I lacked glutamate, antioxidants and severely lack Vitamin B. Can the my deficiency of Vitamin B be the cause because my doctor says it is so I'm taking B supplements with Multivitamins and a Vitamin B shot every week. So could it really be the cause because I don't get how Vitamin B is linked to cold hands and feet. I feel depressed at the randomest times also.
A.

what causes gray hair and how to slow it down?
Q. in my early 20's i began to go gray. I read that vitamin B deficiency can cause this, and once i began making sure i had enough vitamin B, and in particular cut back on alcohol, the graying process stopped. For 5 or so years i have not become any more gray, but now i notice it is starting again, this time chest hair too. Whilst not trying to fight nature, can anyone tell me what helps hinder the process of going gray, while i'm still mostly not.
A. A person's hair turns gray due to the deterioration of melanin in the follicle of the hair. As you get older melanin starts to die off resulting in white, gray and salt and pepper colored hair. Look here for more information: http://kidshealth.org/kid/grownup/getting_older/gray_hair.html
Hair grows in stages, with a certain percentage of hair either growing or resting at any one time. The hair follicles -- the little bags under the skin where hair is formed out of skin -- also contain pigment called melanin.
When the body stops producing pigments, the hair becomes colorless, turning white. Mixed with darker hair, this produces a look most commonly associated with "gray." An actual gray hair may be a result of pigment dilution.
Why Start This Early?
"Premature graying is genetically determined for the most part," David Bank, MD, tells WebMD. Bank is director of the Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic, and Laser Surgery in Mount Kisco, N.Y. "Graying is natural. We all do it eventually."
When more than half the hair is white by age 40, though, this is considered "premature."
Premature graying has been associated with certain medical conditions such as thyroid disorders, vitiligo, vitamin B12 deficiency, and anemia. Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition in which the cells that make pigment (melanocytes) are destroyed, resulting in patches of hair and skin that become white.
There may also be a link with decreased bone mineral density in postmenopausal women, which is a risk factor for osteoporosis. In a study of 293 healthy postmenopausal women, those who had experienced premature graying of a majority of their hair by age 40 had decreased bone densitythroughout their bones compared with comparable women who did not have premature graying
Basically, people who stop plucking have no choice but the dye bottle -- or the bold grab for "distinguished.

What can cause angular cheilitis besides anemia, iron or vitamin B deficiency?
Q. I have cracks in only one corner of my mouth. It'll start to heal but when I open my mouth to eat or brush my teeth, it splits open again. I've been having it for a few months now and it won't seem to go away. Or it'll go away for a few weeks and come back. I've had blood tests done so I know I'm not anemic, iron deficient, or vitamin B deficient. Please help, it is very painful. Thank you!
A. cold air? Maybe you are out in the elements or in dry heat indoors too. See dr if you think it is infected but really should clear up with chap stick
