Hi MoonDoggy,

Sounds like you may have a deficiency of Essential Fatty Acids. I'd recommend a flax oil supplement, fish oil supplement or evening primrose oil. It also sounds as though you may be dehydrated (dry eyes, fatigue). I've read numerous times on this list that folks typically need to take 2 potassium in the morning, and 2 in the evening to counterbalance this WOE.

As for "natural", foodsourced supplements, why don't you look into liquid vitamins at your local health food store? I remember hearing very good things about a company called "Rainbow Light". They produced an entire line of supplements that were foodsourced. A web search should help you locate that product, if it is still being manufactured.

Best of luck to you,

Dry skin is a deficiency in one of the oils, most likely. I'm a flax-seed oil fan; hate the taste even the thought of fish products. I take 10 capsules a day and sometimes more in the winter; if I take less, my fingers crack badly.

Personally, I'm not big in the purity problem. I get mine at Sam's Club.

Another thing that could cause this -and it completely slipped my mind the first time I replied- is Vitamin A toxicity. In other words, too much vitamin A.

cheers,

I use virgin coconut oil on my lips. It feels great. Our furnace heat tends to dry mine out. They do not seem as dry as when I use to cut the fats.

plug a few of your daily menus into fitday and see how you are doing - esp. with riboflavin (B2).
Of course, it would be very hard not to get enough B2 on a high-meat (or LC) diet - but you never know - you might need more than average.

you might also consider a multi-vit if you seem borderline or low on a consistant basis.
