Dr. Jacoby:
When we have foods that are deficient in the essential amino acids it causes a cracking in the skin and a cracking in the nail bed itself and that allows secondary pathology to occur such as a bacterial infection.
Then we look at different bacterial infections from whether they are distal at the end of the toenail, the middle of the toenail, or back in the nail fold itself and they can give us indication as where that infection is coming from.
