Author	Topic: Dry hands
risrosen 02-27-2003 03:11 PM	I've been on the diet for about 2 weeks now and the webbing between my fingers has become very red and scaly. It's been that way for at least a week. The skin of my fingers has become pretty dry. My intake is: a mixture of fresh carrot, apple or pear, orange, and sometimes grape juices with organic olive oil continuously throughout the day (I've been working my way up 1/8 of a tsp. of oil per glass of juice per day and am at 1 1/8 tsp. today), with 2 egg yolks (I worked up to that) and half a banana mixed in at noon. Also melon juices with oil a few times a day. And today at noon I had tomato, cucumber and a little avocado and 2 oz. raw fish. Any ideas on what might be causing this? Thanks.
