Dear Carol:
Loss of the hair on the toes and upper body is the key here. Of course, most FHL'ers will recognize the loss of hair on the upper body as the sign of adrenal disease, but only a couple might remember that Dr. Weiss has identified loss of hair on the toes as a sign of adrenal disease as well. I'm not so much worried about the redness or the allergy to the tinctures - I think we should get the adrenal disease checked out at this poitn...
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, DVM

(He's lost the hair on the toes and his upper body.) Then I added a drop of essiac formula tincture. I suspected he may be allergic to something in the tinctures so have tapered it almost nothing but see no improvement. He has no redness anywhere else. Any ideas out there?
