Hi Lori,
The one thing I haven't seen anyone mention yet is the classic deficiency of
Vitamin A which manifests exactly as you describe.
Perhaps because of the Vit A 'scare' a few years ago, where everyone was
told that no more than 10,000 IUs were needed or safe, and pregnant women
were told to take no more than half that amount.
Fortunately some of the more trusted 'alternative' Drs, such as Jonathan
Wright and a few others have now refuted the so called danger. If natural
Vit A is used as from fish liver oil, it is quite safe to take high doses
(when called for in obvious deficiency states). I read something from Dr
Wright not too long ago where he recommended 100,000 IUs daily for a few
weeks for a nasty infection that was accompanied by dry scaling skin.
A web search should bring up the connection between the dry, cracked skin on
the feet and the need for high dose Vitamin A. Another clue for this need is
a condition of 'bumpiness' on the backs of the arms and on the thighs.

I have to tell you, I have tried so many things for my feet and they just
get worse the older I get.
My feet are very dry. The heels get the worst calluses you can imagine.
Each month I have to soak my feet in warm vinegar (plain water won't work
to
soften the callous) and then use a blade to scrape off the calluses. My
husband is grossed out by it. When I was in my early twenties I would sit
and rub my heels across the concrete steps of my apartment to keep it
down.
I wear shoes all the time, I wear slippers, I keep my feet clean and dry.
I
had a nurse look at it once and say that it looked like a fungus was
causing
it.
With the idea that it might be fungus caused, I have been taking 1 Tables
of
CS a day and applying CS directly to the callous via a cotton ball.
Which leads me to my next ailment. Plantars warts. I had one when I was
in
the Navy 20 years ago. I dug it out and it went away, only to reappear
and
bring friends. I have tried the salicylic acid pads, I have tried wart
remover, and I have tried to have them frozen by a medical doctor three
times. All to no avail and they multiply.
I think the daily CS is helping to reduce the warts. Hard to tell. I
have
not applied the CS directly.
I REALLY would love to have nice lovely feet. Any advice?
