Nails Character and Health

Nails Character and Health
The nail is imbedded in the skin and flesh of the finger, from the hidden
root, along the sides, and under the surface of the horn. The cells make
the root or matrix, the never-ending ducts and capillaries, pushing the
passage of horns and this nail (horn like substance) is renewed
approximately within six months. These cells need sustenance and
special food to make the “Keratin”( keratin (kĕr'ətĭn) , any one of a
class of fibrous protein molecules that serve as structural units for
various living tissues. The keratins are the major protein components of
hair, wool, nails, horn, hoofs, and the quills of feathers. These proteins
generally contain large quantities of the sulfur-containing amino acids,
particularly cytokine.) Which hardens the horn? Any deviation from
good health will affect them in some measure. The endocrine system
plays a large in this food supply supported by a generous mineralization
in which must be included calcium to make them hard, silica and a trace
of arsenic to make them clear, etc.
