White Spots on Nails
I remember hearing somewhere that white spots on your fingernails mean you are lacking something. I forget what that "something" is. I have white spots on a lot of my nails and wonder what they signify.

Thanks

Re: White Spots on Nails
If I remember correctly, the thing lacking could be zinc. You can get more info in health books and health search. I get them too.

Re: White Spots on Nails
I looked it up a few postes back and it is like a bruise on your nail....they said it is a old wives tale about the calcium!
