Q. Most of the 6 cracked areas are around creases where my fingers bend.
I may be dehydrated for sure but there must be a vitamin or mineral deficiency as well. This happens to me about 3 times a year and it hurts and it's a bit ugly.

A. This is the perfect time of year for this to happen. As cold weather can create a lot of dryness in the air which saps the moisture in your body.
Dry your hands as thoroughly as possible. Use a moisturized hand soap and immediately apply lotion after you dry before your hands dry out completely. If you must have you hands in water a lot try to wear gloves as much as possible. At night slather on lotion and wear cotton gloves to bed. There are also sleep gloves you can buy that have a gel coating inside that can help reduce the dry skin. They are worn at night to bed. Also look at using lotion or hand cream that has shea butter in it. Shea butter is a natural exfoliate.
If you do dishes by hand invest in a pair of Playtex gloves. Slather lotion on your hands put on the gloves and use the hottest water to wash and rince your dishes. Instant spa treatment. When done put baby powder in the gloves to help them dry out and not get smelly. Be sure to shake out before wearing again.
I've never seen any kind of vitamin or mineral deficiency cause for dry hands.

I have a vitamin D deficiency and i was wondering if i take vitamin d everyday will my hair start growin back?
Q. I am 19 year old girl i used to have super thick hair and its been falling out alot and i went to the doctors and they told me i had a deficiency of vit.D and i was wondering if i keep taking it will my hair grow back eventually?
A. Vitamin D is NOT THE only reason why hair grows. You need: Zinc, Cooper, Vitamin B12, Vitamin A, Biotin, and Folic Acid.

http://www.menshealth.com/spotlight/hair/best-food-for-healthy-hair.php
Fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains all supply B-complex vitamins, like biotin, folic acid and vitamin B12, as well as vitamin A, copper and zinc, which are all necessary for remedying dry, brittle hair and nourishing a healthy scalp. Some prime examples of foods that contain these nutrients for healthy hair include:
·                    Folic Acid - asparagus, beets, broccoli, avocados, Brussels sprouts, beans, chickpeas, soybeans, lentils, oranges, fresh peas, turkey and spinach.
·                    Biotin - cauliflower, liver, salmon, carrots, bananas, cereals, yeast, and soy flour. Keep in mind that biotin content is reduced when food is cooked or preserved.
·                    Vitamin B12 - foods rich in vitamin B12 include animal protein (such as beef, lamb, and veal), clams and oysters, liver, fish, milk, and egg yolks.
·                    Vitamin A - butter, egg yolks, fish, fortified milk, organ meats (such as
liver), and dark green, orange, red, and yellow fruits (persimmons) and vegetables, which all
contain beta-carotene.
. Copper - oysters and other shellfish, whole grains, beans, nuts, potatoes and organ meats are good sources of copper. Dark leafy greens, dried fruits such
as prunes, cocoa, black pepper, and yeast are also sources of copper in the diet.
� Zinc � beef, eggs, liver, pork, poultry, and oysters. Also is also abundant in other high-protein foods, like cheese, legumes and nuts.
If having a lush, beautiful mane of healthy hair is important to you, don�t just look to hot oil treatments and shine emollients. Eat these foods for healthy hair and say �bye-bye� to bad hair days.
BUT . . . .It may grow very slowly or none at all if you've straightened your hair in the past.
DID YOU SAY they have been falling out alot? Find the 'cause' before you can find the solution, then eliminate them. Your hair will improve. Remember, whatever it was that caused them to fall out in the first place, it took years to get in your system, it will takes years to flush them down, so don't expect miracles overnight.
So many reasons for hair loss:
Supplements, steroids, hereditary, hair dyes perming, straightening, diet, having babies (yes I read once it happened to her), stress, medications with testosterone, certain antidepressants, menopause, anti-acne, and too much of everything. Add to that the 7,000 + toxic found in your home, plus pollution found outdoors. Your hair is crying for help!
Doctors don't know everything, they will just prescribe you a white little pill and everything are OK then they go to their next patient. My mother had suffered for 21 years, and they didn't even told her she's got cancer, until we rushed her to ER, then they did more testing, but by then she's got 3 months to live.

I know hair. I have 4 decades of hair know-how. I have silky, shiny, soft, smooth very healthy hair down to my knees. Previously damaged by perming & dyeing in the 80's & 90's. I've known people in their 30's whose hair stopped growing from ironing their hair in the 70's.

What causes a parakeet's nostrils to grow over and eventually close.?
Q. I was told it was a vitamin K deficiency. Is this true and is it treatable.
I work at a petstore and a parakeet there is going thru the same thing. My bird died (not because of this problem) but does anyone know what causes it for sure.

A. Only two things that affect the cere and nostrils ( M2MM has addressed beak issues not cere issues )...
Scaly face mites.........easily treatable with spot on ivermectin.
and
Hypertrophy of the Cere
This so-called "brown hypertrophy" may be likened to catarrh of a mucous surface and occurs in many types of chronic ill health. Apparently it is not caused by local infection, and ideally treatment consists of finding and treating the underlying cause. The cere should be treated also by picking away the heaped-up material and applying a little oily lotion, cod liver oil, Dettol or bland ointment. Below is a picture of a Budgie with hypertrophy of the cere.

The growth can sometimes be caused by mites or tumours.
