as a younger person, i had pronounced half moons at the tip of each nail, now they are smaller, pale and irregular in shape....my mother always told me they were a reflection of healthy calcium levels, but my mother told me lots of strange things

is there anything you can tell me about these things ( i call them half moons but have no idead what they are really called)

Sure can! It's proper name is lunula, most people call it the 1/2 or 1/4 moon of the nail (Guyser was half there). As I was telling Ab's, just beyond that viable part of the nail is the matrix of the nail. It's also refereed to the root of the nail. This area is generally more plump and different in color, ranging from white to a soft peachy pink, I've found clients whose lunula was closer to white, had fairly strong nails... which makes sense since that area is where the keratin forms and is stored to grow nails.

It's generally visible only on the thumbs in adulthood; although some people can view their all throughout their life. It's considered fashionable if it can be seen on every finger.

Any suggestion(s) to a friend's chronic problem with her Big toe nails always ending up broken and surrounding areas bruised/reddened after a marathon ? Her Big toe nails always gets detached a few days after the run.

Any nail protection/ strengthener,vitamins u might recommend? Ta

If she stops running he toe nails will stop falling off.

Seriously...

Likely her shoes are too small or too big, I've a few runners & tennis players for clients and they always have trouble with bruised nails or loss there of, always the big or 2nd toe from the trauma received from impact against the end of the shoe. She either needs to get fitted for shoes at a sports supply store by a professional, or stop running. She's pretty much SOL though likely.

Oh yeah- sorry i forgot to ask

As a massage therapist, have u learned about climacteric reflex? If so- what kind of massage(s ) would u recommend that a woman/partner should do to help a man reach potentially elevated climax thru the use of natural reflexes?

Maybe you guys misunderstood me when I said I'm a massage therapist... not a whore/hooker/sextherapist. If you can't have orgasms or are wanting bigger ones... go to a sex shop like hustler and get some toys, lubes, etc. I'm not a sex therapist.
