Hi Jane, What kind of shoes do you wear? I have the cracking issue with a few of my nails and found they are the ones that hit the tops of my shoes when I walk. The podiatrist said it was an impact issue? I know this isn't the case with your fingernails but it makes me think outside the box ... is there anything you have your hands in a great deal that could be attacking the nails/nailbeds? You might want to research nails in terms of organs/glands and see which ones contribute to nail health and then check to see what you might do to support those organ/glands. Just thinking outloud. PT

I just thought it was hereditary? My toe nails are totally crippled & awful- only moons anywhere on hands or feet are on the thumbs, which are very vertically ridged so much so they often split - again I assumed with was hereditary? Biotin hasn't really helped yet. Any suggestions? (homeopathy hasn't helped either with Causticum & Graphites) I was hoping that diatomaceous earth might help but I so rarely have cold drinks I haven't really started taking it yet.
