Yellow Nail Syndrome

[PhillyDave]

My father has been suffering with the effects of Yellow Nail Syndrom for several years now. He's had pleurodesis on both lungs and is currently suffering with very profound lower extremity edema. Does anybody know of any way to find a physician in the Carolinas who have experience dealing with this disorder? His local physicians are stumped.

I now have the Kaloba tablets and I have Apple Cider vinegar with 'Mother' being delivered tomorrow. I don't mind the vinegar as it also helps with the absorption of Iodine for my thyroid problem. I will post back here if I do have improvement as the info may help other people with YNS. There is so little research done on our minority group that we need to share info and help each other out.

Hi Katie,

Good luck with the Kaloba, hope it works for you. It took a few days for the effects to kick in with me.

I am now booked for a CT scan every year to plot "progress" so we will just see where we go.  Not sure how you attach docs on this site either.  If its ok with you I can give you my email address, then you can drop me an e-mail. I can then reply.
Other than that, Google : Dr Helen Mackenzie Australia yellow nail syndrome and all sorts of stuff should pop up.  She has been quite active on the subject both here and in New Zealand.

Kind regards,

Mike.
