In reply to Ridges in Fingernails, posted by Temmie on July 17, 2003, at 14:43:30
Here is from Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Balch:
Ridges can appear in the nails either vertically or horizontally. Vertical ridges indicate poor general health, poor nutrient absorption, and/or iron deficiency; they may also indicate a kidney disorder. Horizontal ridges may also appear as a sign of severe stress, either psychological or physical, such as infection or from disease. Ridges running up and down the nails also indicate a tendency to develop arthritis.
Well, I tried to make a link. I can't seem to make it work.
I don't know how good a reference the book is, but it's a popular book.
