1. Although benign, skin tags are common in people with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Reverse diabetes by decreasing carbohydrates and increasing high-quality protein.

3. Nighttime restlessness is related to vitamin B1 deficiency, typically caused by a high-carb diet.

4. Tingling or numbness in the toes or bottoms of the feet is a nerve problem. Benfotiamine, taken four times daily, can help correct this problem.

5. Bleeding gums are related to vitamin C deficiency.

6. Chronic cough can be caused by a calcium deficiency or acid coming up the esophagus.

7. Carpal tunnel syndrome is often related to a vitamin B6 deficiency.

8. Brittle nails are usually caused by a biotin deficiency.

9. Cold feet and hands signify that you need more iodine.

10. Early morning problems such as leg cramps, migraines, and chest pain are related to magnesium deficiency. Take magnesium glycinate before bed as a remedy.
